Re: comparing my K20 to another
2009/7/27 Larry Colen l...@red4est.com: Do contrast and sharpness affect the RAW files? That question is, I think, the crux of your problems. The answer is, ideally, no. But in practical terms you never see a RAW file. You see a version of it that has been rendered by the converter and takes into account the camera settings and the converter settings. IOW the settings do make a difference because they decide how the file is displayed in the absence of any additional edits. I once, some years back, had an editor that offered a de-mosaiced view of a RAW file with no other settings applied, but it was fairly pointless. It was just too raw to be useful. regards, Anthony Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight (Anon) -- 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.

Alive and kicking, quickly demolished a set of ancient NiMH from Rayovac or something like that... currently working on a set of Philips NiMH 2300 mAH, and accepting gladly kingston 2GB SD cards. But that's after the firmware upgrade to 2.02. Works fine indeed. Still trying it out, but so far I'm very happy with it, low res by today stds and all. Next step? Depending on money issues, a second camera - maybe a Demo K7 at the right moment... assuming I manage to go in person or find a proper courier, the a$$%*le that brought me the DS managed to cost me not only the dreaded import tax, but also a fine because said carrier decided to lie about the goods on her bag. At least she didn't try to bribe the officers... After some experience with a Xti and its kit lens, the DA 18~55 looks like a dream. Not only because of its nonrotating front element (Cokin set in the bag again!!), but because it's going wider than 24mm before any vignetting is noticeable in the viewfinder of a borrowed ZX5, wide open. Trying to preview DOF and realistic vignetting with my current crop of 35mm is futile, since the lens closes all the way down. There is hope, since I seldom close my wide lenses past 11 - more often they're not closing past 8.0... Did some crude tests today, and will return to this matter shortly, as soon as the film is developed and scanned. Bottom line, I may get to use it with film at least past 28mm, probably close to 24mm, possibly wider if I kick the panorama mask in. Useful. Too bad I can't control the aperture in the Mx/ Lx. That would be super... Possibly there is a cheap ZX body in my future. Mixed results with flash, so far. I should stop being cheap and getting a proper unit, but I'm very fond of my 280t's and vivitar 285... and those taxes and fines almost doubled the price of the camera. High price we pay here in Brasil. Still getting to know the camera better, despite the constantly read eletronic manual - the 2.02 firmware makes some subtil changes. All things considered, I'd call it a good move.

PESO - What I did over the weekend
I Attended the Kohler International Challenge (vintage races) the weekend of 7/17-19 @ Road America in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin. The featured Marquee was the Ford GT 40. These were popular road race cars in the mid 60's when I started my career @ Ford Motor in Dearborn, Michigan, and while I never got to work directly on these (not that I didn't try), I became good friends with several of the engineers that did. Together, we raced other Ford vehicles over the years as independents. I hooked up with several of these ex GT engineers for this trip to Elkhart Lake. It was an enjoyable time spent viewing the GT 40s Ford Mark IVs that were on site (less than 50 in total, authentic GT40s Mark IV GTs) with around a thousand other vehicles entered for this racing weekend and have my friends recall their adventures with these vehicles. One of my pals recalled his transporting of replacement windshields from the Paris airport to the LeMans race course, after it was discovered there was a 'flaw' in the original windshields at 215 mph down the Mulsanne straight!

Re: Over $600 for a SMCT 300mm/4 ? ? ?
If you look at the bidding, it looks like someone with little experience (or a friend of the seller) made an outlandish bid, which caused the winning bidder's auto bidding (which he had set high just in case) to top it.

Re: PESO - What I did over the weekend
That's an interesting spin - portraying Ford as the plucky little guy battling against the entrenched might of the likes of Ferrari. In reality, almost the opposite was the case - Ford basically gave the GT40 development team an effectively unlimited budget, and just one goal - to humiliate Enzo Ferrari, who had refused to sell his company to Henry Ford II. That's not in any way to belittle the achievements of the engineers and drivers; the car was successful practically out of the box, not after several years of iterative development, and the team of drivers chosen was world class. One of the nice things about living in the San Jose area is that we are close to Laguna Seca, where the Monterey Historic races are held. When the GT40 was the featured marque a few years ago, there were over 30 GT40s on track. While a few of them weren't fully authentic, most of them were - including the cars that dominated at Le Mans (some of which were paired with their original drivers). And the cars were being raced hard, too, not just paraded around the track. Similarly, when Porsches were featured, there were several 917s on the track (again a mixture of pedigreed race cars and parts-box ones), the genuine 935 whale tail, 956s, 963s, and all sorts of others.

Re: testing two
From: ann sanfedele In fact, I dislike anything that picks up a signal to do something when you mearly move your mouse without clicking.. As most are probably aware, I operate a photolab inside a chain store. My employer's name will remain anonymous here lest they have some kind of spy-ware roving the internet looking for their name. Their web site is INFESTED with roll-over drop down menus. It has hundreds of very tiny buttons. Whenever the mouse pointer rolls over one of these tiny buttons, it opens a drop down menu. The drop down menus obscure the search box. It's about the worst case I've ever seen. Further, to provide customers with access to their on-line accounts for the purpose of finding, ordering or returning items, each store has a number of kiosk computers - TOUCH SCREEN kiosk computers. Touch screens that are cleaned every day with electrolytic solvents ... while they're powered on. I have explained to management time and again why that's not a good idea. I want to scream every time I have to go over to assist a customer at one of these kiosks. I have also told the store managers that I better not catch any idiots doing that to the touch screens in my photolab.

G-Mail annoyance.
Has anyone else had a problem like this? I use the gmail pop interface. Every once in a while thunderbird will give me the message that mail.gmail.com won't accept my user name and password. I am then forced to login through the web interface and enter one of those stupid security codes, which wouldn't be so bad except that at my prefered resolution the jpeg displays as a blotch, hell who am I kidding it's just plain annoying.

Re: G-Mail annoyance.
Computer? Mail program? This happens to me if, for instance, I get something coming in from my aol account, and try to forward it to someone. All my mail goes through first Verizon, then Apple's servers. What happens is the piece of mail generated when I try to forward a msg. is it set up to come from the same account it came in on, fine if it's NOT AOL, which is verboten most everywhere to prevent spam. So I'm told I can't send it from that server, I go in and I change the POP account to an Apple or Verizon address in the From: field, and poof. Out it goes. On Jul 27, 2009, at 16:29 , P. J.

Summer greetings from Scandinavia!
Hi all! Just want to say hi to you all. I hope everything is well with everyone. I guess most oldies remember me and may recall that I'm shooting Canon nowadays, but I still got some Pentax stuff somewhere.

Anyway, I'd say it's proving that this list is and has successfully remained a great photographer's list, no matter what equipment you're using. Recently I had the pleasure of covering a full week of athletics at what's called The (Natwest) Island Games. I guess it's the only competition/games where qualification for participating is based purely on a geological criteria - only island residents and teams can participate... :) (There were all kinds of sports, but I only did track field.) It was great fun and I have a real great collection of pictures, which I don't really know what to make of. I also happened to shoot for the Cayman Island's team, which was fun, they were very nice to get to know and I also got published on the other side of the Atlantic...:) Photography-wise I have also been doing some jazz-poster work. Last year I was the editor of a book, where I also ended up doing all the image work and the layout too. It was a rewarding experience in many respects. But I still haven't got my own photo web page, just some various uploads here and there. Btw, is there still a list of PDML-members' web pages somewhere? If so, would someone kindly point me to it?

Crap! K7 Sensor Problem
I got a new job and have been on the road traveling for 5 of the last 7 weeks - which has left very little time to give the K7 a real workout. Yesterday I got that chance, and shot about 600 exposures out in the field. As I worked on them I realized there's a light colored band running through every single image I shot yesterday. Looking back over all the images I've shot with my K7, the same problem shows up in every single image. Here's a sample - actual pixels of the very last shot I took yesterday. (Apologies - the shot is not properly focused.) Guide arrows help identify the hot pixel column. http://www.markcassino.com/temp/IMGP1267.jpg It's a subtle problem, but a real problem. In hindsight, I noticed it on one of the very first shots I took with the camera, but fooled myself into thinking it was just a bit of spiderweb in the shot. I'll be calling BH in the morning.

Yesterday I got that chance, and shot about 600 exposures out in the field. As I worked on them I realized there's a light colored band running through every single image I shot yesterday. Looking back over all the images I've shot with my K7, the same problem shows up in every single image. Here's a sample - actual pixels of the very last shot I took yesterday. (Apologies - the shot is not properly focused.) Guide arrows help identify the hot pixel column. http://www.markcassino.com/temp/IMGP1267.jpg It's a subtle problem, but a real problem. In hindsight, I noticed it on one of the very first shots I took with the camera, but fooled myself into thinking it was just a bit of spiderweb in the shot. I'll be calling BH in the morning.

I should of snared her and stuck her in the box that the camera is going back in - nothing worse than an angry dragonfly!

Re: anybody have experience with the linkdelight battery grip?
2009/7/28 P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com: It looks just like the original. If you get it and something goes wrong with the camera it probably voids the warranty. So if something goes wrong and you send the camera for warranty work, would you leave a third party accessory attached to point out your brand disloyalty? How could Pentax know that a third party accessory had been used? It reminds me of the brand (forgotten which one) which recently declared that use of third party batteries would void a camera's warranty. Do they have snoop-ware in the firmware that can sniff out non-compliant attachments and create a hidden log-file? regards, Anthony Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight (Anon) -- 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.
Gripping and Grinnin'
My battery grip for the K7 arrived today. While I like having the extra battery capacity and the vertical controls, what really pleases me about the grip is that it makes my wrist strap much more comfortable. It now fits my hand comfortably, and I can reach the controls better. Without the grip, the wrist strap just wasn't wide enough to accommodate my big ham of a right hand. The battery grip also improves the balance when shooting with the DA* 60-250, which is quite frequently my lens of choice.
