Enablement (was the occasional 300mm...)
Hi, Just came out of a personal economic crisis and I celebrated by finally picking up my 70-300 zoom. My first choice was the Tamron Di which was not available in the Philippines. Trying to order online, there were 3 sites that had it for around US$150--plus owing the fact that I had a friend travelling through the US--I tried ordering it online and shipping it to where he was (save on shipping...). Anyway site #1 says they don't ship to different billing shipping address; site #2 is okay to ship to differing addresses but not to hotels; site #3 is okay to ship to differing addresses including hotels but will not entertain overseas buyer (s...expletive deleted). Anyway, walking into a local camera shop, I mentioned my quest for a 70-300 and the dealer said if I'd opt for a Sigma. He's got this Sigma 70-300 APO open box special for about US$137.00. Will just wait for this typhoon to blow over I'll get out and shoot something...

Sounds like this is done all the time and not a big deal, ??eh. I hate replacing main drives, it takes me weeks to get the machine back to the way I like it. If you can get things mapped, then it's not such a big deal, I guess. I've always done clean installs though, which is a royal pain. I just discovered the settings migration tool that Win XP comes packaged with, which made my new machine a lot easier to deal with. If you don't have irreplacable data on the thing, I'd just use it until it craps out. A couple of things that I've done on my machines is to seperate the My Documents and email storage directories from the C drive, and I also export my address book and bookmarks files to a backup drive from time to time.

Sigma HSM lenses for Pentax KAF mount
Hello, I'm new on this list. Since I've seen some people curious about Sigma plans for the future, I decided to share the following with you. I was interested in buying a few Sigma lenses for my Samsung GX-1S, so I mailed the USA, UK and France Sigma representatives asking them if they plan to introduce HSM on Pentax lenses in the near future. The answers were the following: 1) USA: We are not working on that at this point in time. If any changes we will make an announcement on our website. 2) UK: At present we have no plans to produce our Pentax lenses with HSM. The majority of Pentax cameras cannot take the HSM system. Sigma may decide to produce Pentax HSM in the future. 3) FR: A ce jour, cela n'est pas prévu. (Translation: Sofar, this is not planned.) Comments are useless... :( OK, I also have a question: what's the advantage of ultrasonic motors? I'm interested in AF speed, since I've had a lot of trouble with my camera and it's kit lens (annoying AF hunting or even impossible AF in not-so-low :( light).

Proccessing observation, Pentax - Nikon, to quick prints
Probably nothing earth shattering, or not alreeady known, but i;ll share this. Thursday, the SO asked me to pick some files from our last two Vegas trips, and print them as 4x6's for an album. She's tired of looking at the monitor.:-) I picked roughly 60 from each and put them in folders. Since i have to adjust just about every shot taken from the Nikon D1, D1H and or D2H, i thought it would be best to open them all in PS and look. Of the first 60, only 3 needed some levels tweaks, and i had to convert 7 that were in Raw mode. I have not done the second 60 yet, but anticipate the same. Had them done at Shoppers for $0.19 each and they look fine for insertion into an album. These are K10D shots BTW. Wonder why i have to do a lot of post process with the older Nikons , not so much with the D200, and i rarley have to do anything with the K10D shots.

Wonder why i have to do a lot of post process with the older Nikons , not so much with the D200, and i rarley have to do anything with the K10D shots. The Pentax definitely does a better job at file processing. I was doing a mini seminar at the studio a while back to show the crew the entire photography experince from capture to print. I was using my K10, whey were using mostly D70s and a D200. The first thing we noticed was that the Pentax produced jpegs were nicer to print than the Nikon produced files, and I thought the pictures looked nicer too. The Nikons will produce a lot more of them in any given time frame though. We just sold a huge portrait of a young couple and their 2 dogs which I shot with the K10, and was gorgeous, and had a nicer look than the display prints shot with the Nikons under similar lighting. I suppose that I am often using the A*85/1.4, and the Nikons always seem to have zooms mounted might have something to do with this also.

Re: Sigma HSM lenses for Pentax KAF mount
- Original Message - From: Inner Focus Subject: Sigma HSM lenses for Pentax KAF mount OK, I also have a question: what's the advantage of ultrasonic motors? I'm interested in AF speed, since I've had a lot of trouble with my camera and it's kit lens (annoying AF hunting or even impossible AF in not-so-low :( light). USM has the potential to be faster, but is not necessarily going to fix your problem. Kit zooms are pretty dim, and often rather low contrast lenses, so the AF doesn't get as much light to work with, and what it does get isn't as good quality, as AF is contrast sensitive. AF performance with an f5.6 lens is enormously compromised in surprisingly bright light. Try a better quality lens. Even an AF50/1.7, which isn't overly costly, will give an indication of what the kit zoom is costing you in performance. I think you'll find that if you are really interested in fast AF, you should be looking at the top end Canon or Nikons and their fast glass. Expensive, but really high performance, and they don't take Pentax lenses, which is a fatal flaw.

Interesting discussion here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036message=25727826 I want Pentax to bring out a firmware option that will allow us to switch between shaft-drive and SDM AF. Reasons are: 1. Before getting the two DA* lenses, I had not realized how much I rely on audible feedback to know when an AF lens has locked focus. Now I know. In bright light I often can't see the focus indicator in the viewfinder. I would like to have the option of getting that audible feedback. And, no, I won't turn the focus confirmation beep back on. 2. In 10 or 15 years, when Pentax can't repair the SDM mechanism, I would like to be able to switch back to shaft drive. Overall I am not impressed with SDM. Perhaps it is useful for people who really need the quiet focusing. For me it is a big yawn, with some negatives. Pentax engineers hinted that SDM wouldn't focus faster. But even many people who read that interview were in denial about it. Other than this, I like the DA* lenses very much.

Wonder why i have to do a lot of post process with the older Nikons , not so much with the D200, and i rarley have to do anything with the K10D shots. The Pentax definitely does a better job at file processing. I was doing a mini seminar at the studio a while back to show the crew the entire photography experince from capture to print. I was using my K10, whey were using mostly D70s and a D200. The first thing we noticed was that the Pentax produced jpegs were nicer to print than the Nikon produced files, and I thought the pictures looked nicer too. The Nikons will produce a lot more of them in any given time frame though. We just sold a huge portrait of a young couple and their 2 dogs which I shot with the K10, and was gorgeous, and had a nicer look than the display prints shot with the Nikons under similar lighting. I suppose that I am often using the A*85/1.4, and the Nikons always seem to have zooms mounted might have something to do with this also. Maybe, ut all of the files i proccesed/printed we're with the 16-45. I use the Nikon 70-210 F2.8 VR. I hope thats not the case.

Re: Geso: An addition to the family
- Original Message - From: Walter Hamler Subject: Re: Geso: An addition to the family Beautiful animals! I am sure you get a lot of pleasure from them!! How is Jester doing? Thanks Walter. The new dog is Bella's half sister, and is a bit of a resue from a broken home. We got her last Tuesday. Jester is getting used to things now, but it's been a bit ugly from time to time. He is capable of some of the most assholey behaviour I have seen in a dog, but even for him, he has been over the top. Typical young male Rottie. He is growing a brain, we just had a bit of a setback this week while he sorted out the fact that there is a real live and intact bitch in the house. This hasn't affected his people friendliness, which is tremendous. He has yet to meet a person he hasn't liked. At nearly 18 months of age now, he has pretty much reached his full adult height, but not his full growth or weight. He is 26.5 inches at the shoulder and just a shade over 100 pounds. I've downgraded my estimate for weight on him, I doubt very much he will top 125 pounds when fully mature (if he lives that long.). Anyway, here's a shot of him, taken earlier this afternoon. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/fellas/_IGP7744.jpg Sorry for the lack of HTML.

Before I do, I wonder if anyone can tell me what to expect in regard to my installed plug-ins. Will CS3 give me an option to install over CS2, preserving my plug-ins, or will I have to re-install them? You can export them from CS2 and then import them into CS3 from the looks of it. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331782sliceId=2 Many Photoshop users who have lots of plug-ins keep them in a folder separate from the standard location. If you have a look under PreferencesPlug-Ins Scratch disks you can actually define an Additional Plug-Ins Folder location. Install all your plug-ins there, and just point PS to it's location whenever you upgrade.
