Re: How to deodorize old Pentax?
Put it in a box with activated charcoal (maybe the inserts for shoes could work, some have activated charcoal inside). Oxygen from hydrogenperoxide should also work but it would also generate a fine mist of hydrogen peroxide which get's inside the camera. Or simply heat (100W lightbulb in a box), UV light maybe?

The camera has spent the last 30+ years inside it's case and the back of the camera (curiously not the front) seems to have this strong sweetish aroma coming from the black textured area that makes me dizzy. I have let it sit in the open air for the last 2 months and nothing changed. I have tried dish soap, potassium hand soap, castile hand soap. No luck. I've tried leaving it in a casserole container with baking soda for several days, no luck either. I still have on my list to try: vinegar in a bowl in the container overnight, paste of hydrogen perioxide mixed w/ sodium bicarbonate in order to generate massive oxygen and scrub at it, zeolite overnight, newspapers overnight, charcoal overnight, spray it with febreze (cyclodextrins). I suppose a last resort would be to strip the grip material off and replace it, but I'd like to avoid doing that because it's in perfect condition. Advice appreciated.

Re: Pentax Gallery
Bruce Dayton wrote: You may be right - what I have seen lately is similar. Dramatic landscapes or major wildlife (600/4 territory) seem to dominate these days.

It looks to me that it's always been so. When I subscribed to Oentax Gallery (before I had any picture accepted), I already noticed that 90% of already published pictures were scenics and wildlife, hence I was a bit discouraged (not shooting such genre). However, at that time my hit rate was about 60%. I've sent them no picture of mine during the last 6 months or so.

Re: Reposting a question re PS and browser image differences
I agree with Paul here. I use to just use the Adobe Gamma settings and my prints we're only about 90% of what they looked like on the monitor. After buying Marks old Spyder unit and disk's and turning off AG my prints are 98-99% of the monitor. Even when using the Proof set to Working CMYK, i was getting matching outputs, however, i was frustrated at why my equine photos using the D1h and sometimes the D2H, looked fine in the preview browsers, but dark and muddy in PSCS2, using a PC and XP Home. I can see a difference now, moving from CMYK working to the Monitor RGB, and comparing after conversions, to the MS browser window, they now look the same. I just need to find a store with some paper in stock, so i can do some test prints. The Staples near by is out. I'll try again Monday. Oh crap. I just noticed i still have some Epson 4x6 paper, i can play on those. Phe.:-) Thanks for all the tips here.

I agree. No matter the subject, there is no question that it's much more difficult to get an image accepted now than was the case in the beginning.

Re: Paw ~ Liftoff ~
It's certainly an unconventional bird photo and I couldn't quite decide whether
I liked it or not.
On balance, I do.
It has an interesting blend of elements and it's the sort of image that
attracts attention for quite a while so that's certainly a positive.
Just a small point - I think the white border is too wide for the size of the
image - it's a bit distracting.

Re: Pentax Gallery
You may be right. You have submitted some great stuff and I would expect your level of submissions to be fairly consistent. If they are rejecting as you surmise, it would be good of them to let us know so that we don't waste time and bandwidth. I have always felt that the final judges should be the ones to really finalize. In essence, the peer voting would be to narrow it down to 'potential' candidates.

Re: Old Honeywell Pentax Gear
That's not exactly true, when the bottom fell out of the film camera market I picked up most of the screw mount gear I wanted. I have a classic 35mm kit in screw mount, an SMCT 35mm f3.5, an SMCT 50 f1.4, and a SMCT 135 f2.5 with a Komura Telemor II 2x converter for extra reach.with two primary bodies a Spot F and a ESII (and a H1 as a meterless body just because). I don't have enough time to shoot my K mount equipment, let alone my m42 stuff. I feel guilty about that sometimes. So far I think Chuck has gotten some pretty good advice.
