Re: For Sale Friday
Pentax A20mm 2.8 really nice condition. Genuine front and rear caps, pouch, box. All mint minus. Before it goes on eekbay, make me an offer. Also exc + K 50mm 1.4 with trick lens hood suitable for 1.5 crop sensor DSLR: 85 1.8 / 100 4 / 105 2.8 hood pics by request Sensible offers and will post to PDML members just about anywhere with these. Just to be clear, I have 2 lenses for sale: A20/2.8 and K50/1.4. The lens hood that I have with the K50mm is a lens hood that is designed to fit with several other lenses: the 85mm f1.8, the 100mm f4 and the 105mm f2.8 lenses. Basically, when the 50mm lens is used on a DSLR with a 1.5X sensor, the effective angle of view of the lens is reduced - giving one a 'tighter' crop - consequently a longer lens hood can be used. So the 52mm clip-on lens hood designed for those lenses listed above, works beautifully with the 50mm lens. It also clips on reversed as well, for easy carrying. Hence, anyone wanting a great portrait lens for their Pentax DSLR would find this combo excellent: 50mm f 1.4 and slightly longer lens hood - great for portraiture. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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: Rumors of a 17mp Pentax DSLR
Ralf, comparisons have been made and it seems it is *not* a K10D on the ads, it doesn't mean anything else however. BTW, ads on taxis were there at previous Photokina as well, I remember them. BTW, who's coming to Cologne? Haven't heard of anyone so far. I'd like to but the train isn't quite that cheap and probably no space left in it anyway so I dunno if it will be possible for me although I'd like to. On the 17Mpix rumours: that rumours has started when looking at some samples from Pentax website which were indeed 17Mpix. IMO: * First: Pentax would not be *that* stupid to post such samples * Second: The samples probably went out of size output settings of a couple RAW converters which by default upsize by 10%. * Third: Those samples have been there for quite a time I don't believe in this 17Mpix thing although I might be wrong of course. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

Re: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1
Sadly, my D300's got faster CDAF than the last couple of Nikon PS's I've tried. Nikon just doesn't do the PS thing well anymore and it shows in the CDAF performance. CDAF on the D300 is usable without a tripod though, just don't expect to follow anything moving. Doesn't change the fact that 4/3rds should not have required any changes to the lens to enable CDAF, even if it did require said changes to get fast performance from CDAF. -Adam On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 9:27 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I played with a couple of them on that body.

Re: Anyone know of software that can do this
From: Mark Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: No camera does this to my knowledge. Maybe some wackiness on the D3 or 1Ds III does. It's an idiotic requirement, frankly, speaking as one who did scientific data acquisition in years past. Ha! You should read the rest of the spec! It requires a CCD resolution of not less than 7 megapixels. CCD? I guess that means I can use a K10D but not a K20D... or a Canon 1Ds mkIII ;-) It's full of nonsense like that - including the original date marking requirement: Don't these people know that the user can set the camera's date to anything they like? I suspect if you really went through the specs item by item, there's a single, probably now obsolete, camera or camera software that meets all of the requirements EXACTLY. I've seen it before in other fields where a government specification is written so narrowly that only one product meets the requirements. And some specific vendor who already has that equipment is expected to win the contract bid. They're not allowed to specify a single product by manufacturer's name and model number, or a single vendor, so the spec's written to exclude anything or anyone else. Except that, in the end, if the wrong person ends up with the low bid and wins the contract, there's always a way to work around it. You could (un-offically) ask the agency who issued the specification what hardware they recommend to meet it.

Re: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1
Contrast-Detect Auto-Focus, the method used on many PS digital cameras and in Live View on some DSLR's to AF. It's very accurate but generally slower than the traditional AF units on DSLR's which can't be used when the mirror is up.

I've got some other odd money I've run across over the years that I figured were worth keeping - half dollars from the year I was born (no silver dollars minted that year); an 1894 Morgan dollar; any other silver dollars that came my way; some $2 bills - Bicentennial and not Bicentennial, including a $2 red letter U.S. Note; a bunch of miscellaneous silver coins old pennies (wheat steel - no indian heads yet) ... ... and pride of place goes to a Greenback dollar (large size bill) that I picked up for a song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Jh4KjPP-o None of it's really high value stuff, but they all have some fun connection. One interesting coin I missed my chance on years ago was a Spanish colonial silver dollar, the original 8 bits (Real de a Ocho) - pieces of eight. Someone evidently found a boatload of 'em - sunk off the coast of Florida - and they were advertising them for about $10 each at the time in the back of Smithsonian Magazine. Cheapest I've seen since is $500 or more. That, and I'd like to have a $20 gold piece ... but I don't expect to acquire either one of 'em ... together their price is about equal the price of a new K20D, which what I'm saving my real money to buy.
