(I went back to check on the animal, no collar and it must have died almost instantly, bit still disturbing). No damage was done to my vehicle at all. They're just not big enough. I know other people who've hit small animals such as raccoons and possums, once again no the result was, damage to the vehicle, dead animal. They must make cars out of tin foil where you come from. It's just a case of luck. The hare jumped just before impact, so it hit the front grille. Trashed that and the front of the bonnet, smashed lights on the right side and damaged the wing. Pushed bodywork into the radiator. I've seen similar effects from a quite small dog and last winter had nearly £1000 worth of damage from a mirror that fell off the lorry in front of me. mike wilson wrote: From: Cotty [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree. If you are going to control animal numbers and a cull is necessary, shooting - as long as it is with a rifle and not a shotgun (unless at point blank range) - is fine. As long as death is instant. Traps are a no-no. Anything that produces prolonged and sustained suffering is bad. Like aiming a car and running over a feral cat. The suffering will not only be the cat's. Hitting anything substantial at speed (unless you have something like a Defender) will result in major bodywork damage and expense. Bones will easily penetrate tyres. Having seen the almost complete rebuild required of a (metal) front end once, due to (accidental) impact with a hare, I do think the original statement was hyperbole. - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- Remember, it?s pillage then burn. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

It lifted the front wheel in the air and knocked it to full right lock, taking my hand off the left bar. I have to admit to closing my eyes as the wheel came down again but the tyre just chirped twice as it bounced, by which time I had hold of the bar again and managed to centre the wheel on the third landing. By this time the dog had rolled completely under the bike and the back wheel went over it. It then sped off. I wobbled to a halt, turned around and rode past the owner with a defiant Har!.

Batch resizing Hz and Vt frames.
Hi gang. Its just about time for me to start on my slide show for the horse banquet next month. In the past, i have resized in ifranview to 1000 on the long side. This makes for a nice photo shown on the pull down screen at the hall. But, because i have a lot of vertical shots, i wrote down those on a piece of paper and did those last. Its time consuming to say the least. Anyone have any tips to do this all at once. Ifranview does a good job, but i can only see the file names, no thumbs, and it takes a while to view and write the vert's down. I also want to rename then from existing names, ie: 352_080907_1234.jpg to something like AA_1234.jpg, so i can mix up the photos more, IYKWIM.Would browser be good for that kind of batch rename. Would PS browser be better for this or can you resize in that. I have a bit of time, not a lot to play around the next few days. II have a lot of orders to get out, if i go back on the road, i'm tossing 30 years of junk from the garage and its Erins Championships this weekend.

Re: Sometimes it's hard to shoot Pentax

They had a hands on look, gave it to me and one said, lucky B*(^^tard.:-) I do see them on the shelfs at the store but off to the side, the Nikon and Canon right in the centre. Dave On 9/5/07, P. J.

Last time I was there I got to handle a K10D. I was impressed. I got to compare it too a both Nikon D200 a D80 and a Canon Rebal XTI, (They were out of the posher Canons at the time). I was still impressed especially for the price. However while he didn't try to push the other brands as he knows I have a raft of Pentax Glass, he still had to make a point of those unhappy customers. I've decided to buy the K10D from BH... Brendan MacRae wrote: So, after my fruitless search for the 16-50mm f2.8 over the last coupe of days (except for the 5 available from the guy in Tokyo on eBay, for $1,185.00US), I decided to take a deep breath and not worry about it for now. I took a drive down to a local camera shop in Sacramento to pick up a couple white background rolls and listen to the radio on the way. At some point I was reminded about this months' issue of Outdoor Photographer. In it, they reviewed the K10D touting its unique Foveon X3 chip (see inset, pg. 92). Suddenly, those old feelings of being abused crept back into my head drowning out Boston's More than a feeling. I got to the shop and found my rolls of Arctic White 53 x 36' I was needing. I took a look around and wasn't suprised to see everything but Pentax on the shelves. So, I asked one of the salesmen, Do you guys carry any new Pentax stuff? No, sorry. You must be one of the last people to still shoot Pentax. Hum, that's a damn shame, I said, if you did I buy one of their new lenses from you. I thought my point was obvious. Well, only about 1 in a 1000 people ever ask about Pentax anymore, he said as if his math were valid. That may be, but some of their new gear is quite good, ya know, I said not knowing that he really didn't know and was even less interested in what I was about to say. The K10D has been making some waves and they have some great new lenses coming out for it. Well, I don't know anthing about it, I haven't read any of the reviews on it, and I don't make those decisions anyway the owner does. There's a lot of great gear out there that we don't carry. At that point he handed me the charge slip to sign and I took my yellow copy and left. It's a sad thing though. I really used to get such a kick out of going to camera stores.

Thanks Dave Paul Wendy and Godfrey. I never noticed thumbs in Ifranview, i have an older version. I'll take a look.

Re: Flash on ZX-5N
Thank you, Toralf. While the problem may seem minor, I still say: why have a rather useless (and perhaps inoperable) flash atop my body? Things such as these tend to irritate me. While I have not made a final decision, I am presently leaning toward getting a second ZX-M body rather than the ZX-5N. The only differences between the two are the meter and lens mount. With regard to the meter, I gather I will become less dependent on it as my skill (and experience) develop. With regard to the plastic vs. metal lens mount ring: I tend to be extremely careful with the things I own...I have had my ZX- M body for over three years, and the plastic mount still looks as it did when I first took the body out of the box.

It works just find on mine, but I hardly ever use it. Then again, I'm not very careful when it comes to packing the camera in a nice camera bag and carrying gently around (or rather, not doing just that.) As suggested by the other response and what I've heard before, it seems like the most likely type of failure is that a spring or whatever breaks so that it won't stay up. In fact, I very nearly bought an MZ-5n in that condition on eBay a couple of days ago, but didn't quite manage to get the winning bid. I think someone at some point posted an explanation of how he fixed such a problem at one point. This somehow reminds me of some of the spam mails I tend to get.

That's fine if that's what you want to do. It does not contradict what I said, however.

Functions of economics forced me to part with one of the ZXs I ended up selling the ZX-M.
