Re: 19 or shorter monopod?

Re: K7 pics for Christine
Hi David, You're right. The foreground petals on the second flower shot are a bit soft. I suspect the focal point was the center and the DOF didn't extend out to the foreground. However, I am going to check focus accuracy with the new camera one of these days. It will have to wait until next week however. Thanks for looking and commenting. I hadn't noticed that.

Re: SMC Question...
Brendan MacRae wrote: Was SMC applied to both sides of lens elements? Apparently, original SMC was only applied to air-to-glass surfaces. That's because with the introduction of A-series lenses, Pentax claimed that at that point all lens surfaces were SMC-coated. To me, it looks just like a standardisation of lens-making process. I expect no improvement and no problem from a standard smc uselessly applied to glass-to glass surfaces too. Probably a marginal advantage could come from a tuned coating, adapting glass elements of different indexes. Although never documented by Pentax, it is believed that smc coatings changed over the years, as the different color reflections often suggest. Sure some change occurred from M-series to A-series and in other instances.

Re: Can you change aperture on K-7 while shooting video?
It's directly related when shooting movies on film. In my experience the primary difference between shooting film and digital is that with film your sensor is used once and has a, (more or less), single sensitivity level, while with digital you can change ISO and you reuse the sensor.

RE: k-7 Owners
You know, it really is a nice shot. Good tones and color saturation. So why do I have the urge to hide it from my wife? The DA70 and K7 look like an amazing portrait combo. The K7 and the 4 pancakes (including the 15) would make an awesome compact kit. And it would only run me $2819.80, since I already have the DA 40.

Re: SMC Question...
As the coatings are applied to the lens elements while they are held on a rotating platform in a partial vacuum chamber, I imagine it would be hard to not have the coatings applied to both sides of each optic. It is possible, however, that the cemented elements are already together prior to those applications. The coatings are applied by heating various chemicals to vapor within the chamber while the elements are rotated. I don't know if the coatings are applied one after another in the same session, or if the discs containing the optical elements are removed to rest between applications. Anybody? On Jul 13, 2009, at 08:30 , Dario Bonazza wrote: Brendan MacRae wrote: Was SMC applied to both sides of lens elements? Apparently, original SMC was only applied to air-to-glass surfaces. That's because with the introduction of A-series lenses, Pentax claimed that at that point all lens surfaces were SMC-coated. To me, it looks just like a standardisation of lens-making process. I expect no improvement and no problem from a standard smc uselessly applied to glass-to glass surfaces too. Probably a marginal advantage could come from a tuned coating, adapting glass elements of different indexes. Although never documented by Pentax, it is believed that smc coatings changed over the years, as the different color reflections often suggest. Sure some change occurred from M-series to A-series and in other instances.

AAAARRRGGGG Equipment Follies
I have to upgrade my Flash units, but I figured I'd do a little testing just to see how badly this has to be done. So I pop a AF280T onto the K20D set the camera to [Green] at ISO 200, then set the Flash to the green range. The camera sets the proper f stop. Nice, at least some of the automation works. Take a test shot, horrible over exposure, not good. Try the red range... Horrible underexposure, damn, this thing was working only a couple of weeks ago. Put said unit on the *ist-Ds ISO 400 TTL mode, exposure is more than acceptable. WTF? Set the *ist-Ds to 200 ISO and the flash to the Green Range, same results as with the K20D. Damn I don't think I've ever used this flash off TTL or Manual, same with the other AF240T... So I drag that unit into the test, yep works fine in all modes on the *ist-Ds, gives good exposures on both red and green ranges with the K20D. I've had a Bad flash for years and never knew it!

Re: AAAARRRGGGG Equipment Follies
I've tried that still no joy with the first unit. They do, well my newer AF280T does actually seem to talk to a limited extent, it actually sets the shutter speed and aperture in program mode with the K20D, the first doesn't give correct exposures as an auto flash on the *ist-Ds on either red or green settings though TTL flash works just fine. It's completely weird. Especially if the AF280 isn't supposed to talk to the K20D at all... William Robb wrote: - Original Message - From: P. J. Alling Subject: RRR Equipment Follies I have to upgrade my Flash units, but I figured I'd do a little testing just to see how badly this has to be done. So I pop a AF280T onto the K20D set the camera to [Green] at ISO 200, then set the Flash to the green range. The camera sets the proper f stop. Nice, at least some of the automation works. Take a test shot, horrible over exposure, not good. Try the red range... Horrible underexposure, damn, this thing was working only a couple of weeks ago. Put said unit on the *ist-Ds ISO 400 TTL mode, exposure is more than acceptable. WTF? Set the *ist-Ds to 200 ISO and the flash to the Green Range, same results as with the K20D. Damn I don't think I've ever used this flash off TTL or Manual, same with the other AF240T... So I drag that unit into the test, yep works fine in all modes on the *ist-Ds, gives good exposures on both red and green ranges with the K20D. I've had a Bad flash for years and never knew it! Damn that hoovers. My backup flash only works on my backup camera(s). The AF280T and AF240T won't talk to digital only flash controls. Try setting the camera up in manual and use the flash as an auto flash and it should be good.

Re: k-7 Owners
- Original Message - From: Desjardins, Steve Subject: RE: k-7 Owners You know, it really is a nice shot. Good tones and color saturation. So why do I have the urge to hide it from my wife? I dunno, your wife has nothing to be embarrassed about (well, other than you and that night in Vegas that we won't talk about). The DA70 and K7 look like an amazing portrait combo. The K7 and the 4 pancakes (including the 15) would make an awesome compact kit. And it would only run me $2819.80, since I already have the DA 40. (Geez, just adding that stuff to the BH cart to get the price was exciting. Between that and the photo, I need a cigarette. . .) The DA70 and the K-7 is a really nice little combo. The only thing I've found that is even remotely a problem with the K-7 is that the AF can be a little vague at the far end sensors (they aren't cross point, IIRC) in the somewhat dim modelling lights of my PhoofooGenies. The 77, at f/2.4 is a bit dim. I'm betting the 77 would give me enough more speed that it is no longer an issue. I keep thinking I should get my 40LTD back at some point. I'm torn about the 15. I have the A15/3.5, which, while huge, is a pretty funky lens, and the 14/2.8. I suspect I could sell both and finance the 15LTD, but then I'd kick myself if and when Pentax releases a FF body.

Re: :( K20D gone.
Hi, timber... sorry to read that! Pardon the question, but since you still have the 12~24, wouldn't be possible to get a DS or something like it? I often check the other systems, just to get my bearings, and IMHO the worst situation is parts that don't talk to the others. When I switched to Canon FD looong ago, taking advantage of a special offer in a F1n kit, I kept the LX, the 135mm 2.5 (then attached to a FD adapter) and the 280t - but money-wise it was not the best solution... as it prevented me to get some extras for a while.

Re: :( K20D gone.
Avoid the Fuji's unless you want dynamic range at the cost of any other aspect of performance. They're slow, unweildy and difficult to use. The D80's a nice little camera, the D200's even better and often only marginally more expensive. The D200 is also the cheapest decent body to allow full use of AI and later manual focus lenses. -Adam On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 5:08 PM, Peter Zalabaitim...@clancode.hu wrote: Hi list, I am a bit sad because I had to sell my K20D recently (was quite in a financial trouble).
