Re: Pentax Photo Gallery trivia
John, The requirements seem a bit peculiar at first, but not really very complicated. Size: Max heigth is 600 pixels. It is a good idea to use 600 pixels to get the most out of the presentation interface. Due to limitations in the same interface (which is Flash-based), they don't want panoramic images. anything between 3:2 and 3:2 aspect ratio looks best... :-) EXIF: When uploading, the server checks the EXIF for presence of the value PENTAX CORPORATION in the camera mfg. tag. If there is EXIF information and this tag is unpopulated or contains a different value, the photo is declined. The server is very picky. It will not accept eg. Pentax. This can be an issue with some raw file converters. I have experienced it with older versions of PhaseOne's C1 (v3.4 and older, I think), and all versions of LightZone. Adobe Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop seem to work in all versions. If you experience rejects based on EXIF, your only option is to resave the file without any EXIF tags at all (PS: save for web) and upload that. Just ticking the this is a scanned image will not work if there are any camera make specific EXIF tags in the file. Watermarks, borders, visible signatures etc. Don't use them. You may also consult the guidelines for the finer points, but I think that about covers it. Oh, and you CAN upload pictures taken with other-brand lenses as long as the SLR is Pentax. Cottyesque variants, however, are not allowed. Jostein 2007/11/20, John Celio [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Only slightly related to the topic: When submitting photos, do the images have to have EXIF data or anything else like that included? Also, do they have size requirements (pixels, not megabytes)?

RE: OT: And you though eBay was bad...
I do believe it is out of line. I had one of this style body back in the early 50's and the lens was designed to be pulled out to this position from being hard against the mount - you kept pulling and then rotated it to engage a breech type lock on the end of the barrel which engaged in a socket on the back of the lens mounting flange. This kept the lens barrel locked in place and prevented sag like this.

Waited for Pentax to launch *ist D and bought one then - 4 years ago? 4/ What's the longest length of time you've owned a single DSLR camera? 4 Years. 5/ When you purchased your first DSLR, did it live up to expectations? Exceeded them. 6/ How long have you owned you current DSLR (if more than one, the latest) ? 3 years. Still boxed, unused (story there). 7/ Has your latest DSLR lived up to expectations ? I'll never know. 8/ If a new model is released that supersedes - improves upon - your current or latest model, will you buy it? I'd love a good reason to buy a K10D. 9/ If a new model is released that supersedes - improves upon - your current or latest model, will you consider your current or latest model 'obsolete' ? My wife will consider it for me and say no on my behalf. 10/ Do you consider your first DSLR (whether still owned or not) 'obsolete'? I don't consider my LX obsolete and that uses film. A DSLR is obsolete if it is broken beyond economic repair. 11/ Have you ever had sex with a bicycle? (You don't have to answer this. In fact, better if you don't). No, but I remember an event from 1979 that made the local papers. One of my friends left school and got a temporary job stacking shelves in the local Sainsbury's supermarket. A male was arrested for causing 'distress' to female shoppers who arrived by bicycle. What they saw him do apparently, was sniff their saddles whilst they were shopping. This little act gained him a ride in a police car, a story in the local rag and a few months in the local mental unit, as they were termed at the time. I remember it causing us great schoolboy hilarity at the time, but thinking back on it, the poor sod probably needed some (OK, rather a lot of) help.

I can see what attracted you to this scene. Very nice lighting. I do want to level the camera, however.

Re: SMC Takumar vs Takumar
Yes, the SMC Takumars are better than the Super Taks in that they are more flare resistant. One would have to take the same flare-prone shot with both lenses to illustrate the difference. But my experience with both says it's substantial. Some lens lines were upgraded optically in the switch from Super Tak to SMC Tak. One that comes to mind is the changeover from the Super Tak 85/1.9 to the much better SMC Tak 85/1.8. Others are identical in terms of element configuration. The 35/3.5 and 50/1.4 come to mind. That's not to say that the Super Taks are bad glass. Some are superb. But they require more caution when shooting in situations where flare could be a problem, such as when bright light strikes the front element at an oblique anglee. -- Original message -- From: .timbercode [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there any real, visible differenc between the multi coated SMC-Takumars and the normal (older) Takumar?

Re: SMC Takumar vs Takumar
On 11/20/07, .timbercode [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any real, visible differenc between the multi coated SMC-Takumars and the normal (older) Takumar? Could anyone show the difference between non coated, single coated and multicoated lens? Actually, there's a little bit more of a distinction to be made. Here's my experience: 1. Takumar or Auto-Takumar lenses. These are single coated. All the ones I've seen have a purplish tinge to the coating. 2. Super Takumar lenses. These are multicoated, but not with the SMC coatings. Usually have both a purplish and an orange-yellow tinge to the coatings. 3. SMC Takumar. Usually three distinct colors to the coatings (purple, orange/yellow, and green). Obviously the best coatings of the bunch. Pentax also made some cheaper non-SMC lenses that were labeled as Takumar Bayonet. These seem to have the same type of coatings as the older Super Takumar screw-mount lenses. I have a 28/2.8 like this, and it is absolutely identical to my A28/2.8, with the exception of the A contacts on the mounting flange, the A position on the aperture ring, and the lens coatings. In terms of real-world use, the Super Takumars are pretty darned good lenses. They'll flare if you shoot in high-contrast situations, or directly into the sun, and the SMC versions are better for that. But they're certainly not terrible in that respect. I have yet to do any real-world shooting with a Takumar or Auto Takumar, but I imagine that they'd flare as much as any similar single-coated lens of a similar vintage. I've got a couple of those for my large-format camera, and you do have to be careful about lens shading with them. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: DIGITAL SURVEY
On 20/11/07, Godfrey DiGiorgi, discombobulated, unleashed: That's not an expectation ... that's a desire. You knew the size and viewfinder before you bought it. Expectations should be things that you expected the camera to do, in features or performance, based on what you knew of it from reading the specs and talking to other people, not things that you want but weren't known not to be available. EG: I want a Nikon F3/Thp quality viewfinder in every camera, but I don't hold that as an expectation for every camera I buy. I'd spend my life awfully disappointed if I did. I have to disagree bro. In my book, an expectation can be a desire. It's all very well to read up on specs and things before a purchase, but (in my case) I have to feel it with my heart. It's not something that I can easily put words to. I'm not a scientist, I'm a dreamer. My expectations are what they are, and are relative. I would not expect my expectations to be regarded in the same way as someone else's expectations. It's a bit like cars - or indeed bikes (motorcycles)! You know that these machines will get you from A to B, and some are faster than others, or more comfortable, but perhaps most of us have felt at some time or other a big buzz with one particular car or bike over another. You know that bike B is more sensible and stops better than bike A, but bike A gives you a thrill and a ride that you know in your heart is the one you want. (Exactly how this works with a Prius is another matter ;-) You can test drive a car as long as you like - but once it's at home and you're living with it every day, you might find that it has not exactly lived up to your expectations - or your desires.

If i didn't like it, I'd get rid of it. In fact, I haven't picked up the 1DmarkII in ages. I love the L1/A20 combo - it's real nice. Doesn't get my heart racing, but it's real nice.

My only point of direct comparison between Takumar and SMC Takumar has been with the smc-Pentax 17mm f/4 Fish Eye (K-mount) that Cotty bought (and I relayed) and the Fish-Eye-Takumar 17mm f/4 (M42 mount) that I purchased when I discovered how much I liked the FL and fishiness on the L1. The two lenses have identical optical formulae, the primary difference other than mount is the SMC coatings. Cotty's lens definitely shows significantly less flare than mine does.

Re: PESO: Ferry
Well, using the larger display option on photo.net, the top of the light-colored band of water is 2.8 cm from the bottom of the pic on the left and 2.8 cm from the bottom on the right. Said light band of water is thinner and brighter on the right, and I think gives an illusion of non-horizontality. The original wasn't straight, and I gave that problem considerable attention. I'll play with the curves as you suggest if I have time this evening. Thanks!
