Re: Temporary (yet complete) disablement
As I mentioned in a previous post, I first noticed the problem when I got the DA21 Limited a couple months ago. If I tried to take a close-up of something with that lens, focus was almost always off. Then I was shooting my work's holiday card photo last week (with the FA50 1.4), and, well, I got the other side of the street more in focus than me and my coworkers. The AF told me my subject was in focus, but I guess it lied. I looked at some older photos from this past year and noticed the problem over and over again, with a variety of lenses. This is why I haven't upgraded the firmware, so I can still access the debug mode.. I upgraded the firmware to remove the banding problem that was also an issue early on in the camera's production cycle. If you never take long exposures or dark photos, it won't be an issue for your, but it sure as heck was for me. I tested my focus with my D-FA 100mm before upgrading the first time, but apparently the focus problem shows more readily when using wide angle lenses.

Re: For those still hoping for a 645D
It does make me wonder when I hear now about physically impossible products like APS sensors with low noise, etc. I hear too many of these definitive engineering proof arguments that turned out to be dead wrong. graywolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/5/2007 9:13 AM Things change. I can remember when all a photojournalist needed was a couple of Leica bodies and 3 lenses (35,50,90). Before my time he could get by with a couple of Rolleifexs; and before that all he needed was a Speed Graphic with one lens. There was quite a bit of argument about what resolution was equal to 35mm film. I (and Kodak) always said 14 megapixels. The fact is that for most publication work about 5mp seems to be all that is really needed. Kind of to put things in perspective, how many remember when they were saying that memory density was about as high as it could go? That was back in the days of 64mb memory modules.

The 1DsmIII is pushing the limits of what 35mm glass is capable of. While a ~22MP 645D wouldn't necessarily compete well (Although the Mamiya ZD back is selling every unit Mamiya can push out, at a similar cost to the 1DsmIII) a higher-rez unit might well be competetive, and there's a lot more resolution headroom with good MF glass. -Adam On 12/4/07, P.

Why, I've passed gas three times since I entered your office! The doctor thought for a moment, wrote a prescription and said, Here, try these capsules. I'm sure they'll help. Make an appointment to come back and see me in a week. A week later, the elderly lady returned to the doctor and said, I took the capsules as you prescribed, but I still have the odorless flatulence, only now it's... it's noisy!

Re: For those still hoping for a 645D
Area is only meaningful to advertising copy writers. Presuming you are happy with a 3:4 image 645 is 1.75x the size of 35mm, if you want 2:3 it is 1.55x. So a full 645 format will allow about 1-1/2 times the resolution of a full frame 35mm. That is assuming a 42mm x 56mm format and the same ppi for both. But looking at it another way you can have bigger pixels, so at the same resolution for both you can have 2+ times the sensitivity. In either case the larger sensor is going to be about 4 times as expensive. There are always trade offs involved. Graywolf Website: http://www.graywolfphoto.com Blog:http://www.graywolfphoto.com/journal/ Adam Maas wrote: Yes, but the native resolution numbers aren't that much lower unless you're looking t older lenses, and the area is a whole LOT larger. 645 alone has 2.7 times the area of 35mm.

Re: For those still hoping for a 645D
It's area that matters for how many pixels you can stuff in there, and thus the resolution. Using the pixel density of the ~12MP Nikon D3, at 118 pixels per mm, a 42x56mm sensor would be 32.7MP. Linear differences don't really indicate the actual resolution differences, because they only indicate one of the two dimensions that matter.Oh, and that sensor will be 9 times more expensive, not 4 (Sensor cost scales roughly by the square of the area, once again, that's what matters). 645 is natively 4:3 format Cropping 35mm down to 4:3 (24x32mm frame) gives 768 square millimeters, while 56x42mm 645 format gives 2352 square millimeters, for 3 times the area, the linear size differences matter little. Cropping 645 to 3:2 looks better for 35mm, but not by all that much (2090 square millimeters, and 2.7x the area). -Adam On 12/5/07, graywolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Area is only meaningful to advertising copy writers. Presuming you are happy with a 3:4 image 645 is 1.75x the size of 35mm, if you want 2:3 it is 1.55x. So a full 645 format will allow about 1-1/2 times the resolution of a full frame 35mm. That is assuming a 42mm x 56mm format and the same ppi for both. But looking at it another way you can have bigger pixels, so at the same resolution for both you can have 2+ times the sensitivity. In either case the larger sensor is going to be about 4 times as expensive. There are always trade offs involved.

Re: For those still hoping for a 645D
Obviously their marketing arms for various devices didn't speak to each other. The Marketing blurb for Photo CD's (6mp images), basically said that 6mp was the equal of 35mm. The document that contained that has apparently disappeared from the Kodak web site. That doesn't stop it from having been there. If they were saying 14mp somewhere else at the same time that just makes their duplicity the worse. graywolf wrote: No Kodak was saying 14mp back when I bought my Nikon Coolpix 100 (According to the receipt I ran across the other day that was in early 1998). Now their sales literature may have said something different but that was the figure that I got from their website back then. IIRC, that was in comparison to their 100 speed negative film. Hey, remember, I was the first pro-digital guy on this list. That was back when all you folks were saying no one would pay that much for a camera, and I was saying if it makes you money it is cheap. Of course I still don't have a DSLR, but then I am not making money with my cameras anymore either. Graywolf Website: http://www.graywolfphoto.com Blog:http://www.graywolfphoto.com/journal/ --- P. J.

I can remember when all a photojournalist needed was a couple of Leica bodies and 3 lenses (35,50,90). Before my time he could get by with a couple of Rolleifexs; and before that all he needed was a Speed Graphic with one lens. There was quite a bit of argument about what resolution was equal to 35mm film. I (and Kodak) always said 14 megapixels. The fact is that for most publication work about 5mp seems to be all that is really needed. Kind of to put things in perspective, how many remember when they were saying that memory density was about as high as it could go? That was back in the days of 64mb memory modules.

Re: For those still hoping for a 645D
No Kodak was saying 14mp back when I bought my Nikon Coolpix 100 (According to the receipt I ran across the other day that was in early 1998). Now their sales literature may have said something different but that was the figure that I got from their website back then. IIRC, that was in comparison to their 100 speed negative film. Hey, remember, I was the first pro-digital guy on this list. That was back when all you folks were saying no one would pay that much for a camera, and I was saying if it makes you money it is cheap. Of course I still don't have a DSLR, but then I am not making money with my cameras anymore either. Graywolf Website: http://www.graywolfphoto.com Blog:http://www.graywolfphoto.com/journal/ --- P. J.

I can remember when all a photojournalist needed was a couple of Leica bodies and 3 lenses (35,50,90). Before my time he could get by with a couple of Rolleifexs; and before that all he needed was a Speed Graphic with one lens. There was quite a bit of argument about what resolution was equal to 35mm film. I (and Kodak) always said 14 megapixels. The fact is that for most publication work about 5mp seems to be all that is really needed. Kind of to put things in perspective, how many remember when they were saying that memory density was about as high as it could go? That was back in the days of 64mb memory modules.

There are plenty of other cameras I've lusted after, but the only one I really ever wanted more than others was the Pentax LX, and really this is only because of the legendary status the camera holds amongst us Pentax fans.

Wide dynamic range in Andes mountains/Argentina (questions and PESO)
We had a very nice trip to the Andes in Argentina. The views were breathtaking. One of the challenges was the large dynamic range, especially in the afternoon, when shadows appeared. At one point I was trying to get the wild flowers in front, the mountains in the back, and the high-contrast clouds. I shot 20 shots with different exposures and , but the dynamic range of the digital is not that wide.. I was able to pull one of the photos: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Argentina/IMGPa9855.jpg For the reference, here are the same clouds in another shot: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Argentina/IMGPa9842.jpg (you can see how dark the front side is). And this shot shows the mountains: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Argentina/IMGPa9860.jpg I was thinking about creating an HDR shot in Photoshop, and may yet try to do that, but at the time of shooting I didn't have a tripod, so I'll have to see how well different shots match each other. Does anybody have any tips on how to best shoot such shots with or without HDR in mind? (Other brutal comments are also appreciated, as always.)

Yea, I know the law generally, and I'm probably wrong in thinking I know where you're comming from. Nevertheless, she did not go to a photographer (or photographera) requesting nude portraits of herself. She posed at the request of the club and for a fee. Whining that she got burned when someone placed the photos for public viewing is a lot like the whining of the woman who burned herself when the coffee she placed between her legs spilled at the takeout window at McDonnald's! Yea, I know some foolish jury awarded her damages. I believe it's about time folks learn to accept personal responsibility for the natural consequences of their actions. What did she think these photographers were going to do? Did she really think these photographers were going to keep their blowups of her privately pinned to their bedroom ceilings for their own personal nocturnal amusement? If this woman is blonde, this would be a joke! Children blame the natural consequencies of their actions on others. Grownups accept responsibility for the natural consequencies of their actions!

My take on it is that I own the images and can use them for any non commercial purpose that I deem appropriate, including spreading them all over the world if I decide that such poor taste is appropriate (I just might on this one).

RE: Cameras you wish you still had
A: What cameras have you owned that you wish you had never gotten rid of? I wish I hadn't traded in my first MX on a Z70. I've since bought more MXen to replace it, but that's not quite the same. B: And, just for fun, what cameras have you lusted for but never had? I guess the 67II is the only thing that still falls into that category. Getting any type of 6x7 was a bigger yearning though, so I'm not losing sleep over it (I now have a 6x7 and 67) The only other cameras that I ever seriously lusted after were: MX (when I only had a K1000) Super Speed Graphic (last of the Graflex) Super D (top of the line 4x5 SLR) Kodak 1A (old style 8x10 portrait camera on a wooden stand) I've never been that interested in Leicas or Hasselblads even although I can see the quality.

I think long and hard before selling a camera and so far I've never had a case of seller's remorse. The one that took longest to decide to sell was the MZ-S, but I never got along with its single-control-wheel system. I always liked the dual-wheel system on the PZ-1p, and the ist-D drove the point home. I'll tell you one thing though: If the MZ-S *had* been set up with dual control wheel s like the ist-D and K10D it would have been a lifetime keeper. Ah yes. The MX-S is the only SLR I have wanted but can't quite justify the cost of. Almost moot now, as I'd have to find a used one, if I decide to go there... I have several other Pentax rangefinders and some Oly OM- SLRs that I do keep, and distain the idea of selling any...

Re: OT: Legalese, Canadian Style
As long as you're not selling the images commercially you're completely in the clear. If you were to try to sell the images to someone for publication you'd want to have a signed release (I know I would). But you can sell your own prints of the image, show it in your portfolio, etc. This person was a *paid* model for *photographers* for crying out loud! She had to have known the photos were going into people's portfolios. Portfolios are on line now.
