Re: Sick of cheap scans
I agree. I have all these great film cameras and a great selection of lenses that I love to use. I also have two good scanners that do a decent job. But, scanning is slow and cloning out dust spots is tedious. Not to mention the cost of buying and processing a roll of slide film...especially here in Canada. It's not really worth $20 or more when you keep only a few shots per roll. Since I got the K20d three months ago my film usage has fallen off. I'm afraid that the K20d will be the final nail in my film coffin. At 10:52 PM -0500 3/18/10, Nick Wright wrote: I keep trying to go digital, but I just can't. I just love film.

Will consider shipping worldwide. Email me for pics (serious inquiries only please). Will ship however you want (fast/slow) via USPS. S-M-C Takumar 85mm f1.8 with matching Takumar hood (exc. $380) This is a beauty and considered by some to be one of the top m42 lenses of all time. Pentax-M 28mm f2.8 with original case ($89) Like new. Still has shiny passed sticker on it. Pentax-M 135mm f3.5 ($79) Like NEW. Still has shiny passed sticker on it. Average prices are for average lenses. The two above are seriously like new with orig. caps. Pentax-M 100mm f2.8 ($159) Excellent condition. Super small/compact design. Pentax-F 100-300mm with orig caps ($95) Original Pentax Bellows Unit I (with original plastic bag and box). Bellows is mint (m42). Box has some wear/scratches. ($24) Canon FD 50mm f1.4 SSC ($69) Olympus Microscope adapter L ($89) OM mount. I also have the (unbelievably rare) 1957 Takumar 100mm f3.5 preset. This is the little brother to the very common 135mm f3.5 Takumar preset. If you are a collector this is probably one you don't have, have never seen available, and may not have even known existed.

Re: Manual Focus 28
The M28/2.8 is soft and prone to sticky aperture blades. I have no experience with the M28/3.5. The M28/2.0 is classy. And the K28/3.5 isan old sharpie! I think the A28/2.8 is a bit sharper than the M28/2.8, but the plastic aperture ring can be a problem. It falls apart internaly. I suppose this is less of a problem now that we have aperture wheels and don't move off of A on apertures. I'd avoid the M and go with the A, especially for the digital functionality. Regards, Bob S.

Yes, but generally you'll hear people referring to them just as pommes, and
the context tells you whether they mean apples or potatoes. So, pommes
frites, pommes dauphinoises, pommes vapeur etc. all refer to potato dishes.
If you ordered pommes dauphinoises and were served with apples cooked in
garlic, butter and cream to go with your grilled lamb you'd probably be a
bit put out.

though If you're deciding between these three I'd get the F if I had

Re: PDML Exhibit participants
Congrats to everyone on the list of exhibitors. I'm gutted I can't make it over - business is picking up but nowhere near enough for me to afford the trip across the pond. Probably do me good to miss out once in a while! Meanwhile, the PDML documentary is stalled as I search for a backer. Not going to happen this year, so will keep plugging away. To be honest, until things pick up here in the UK economically, there's not much commissioning money around so I'd be better off just making the darned thing and then hawking it, but I don't have the money for the travel to do that. One thing I am doing this year is making a DVD about people working and living aboard old converted sailing barges here in the UK, and then later hopefully in continental Europe. If I can make enough money out of it, then that will finance the PDML doc so it's not dead and buried yet... -- 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: OT: PESO Sami in Karate class and a few other Things ...
From: Sandra Hermann Not Nearly what I had before my ex pawned them for sex/drugs and didn't bother to tell me so I could get them back. I have a 20mm 2.8 I believe. my 100 mmm macro which is 2.8 also. Two 50mm lens. One of which is a newer one that is 2.82 I believe and the other one says 1.7 on it. and the 100-300 4.5 (the camera store lady actually laughed at that lens the other day said it wasn't a Pentax lens it was to big.) and the lens that came on my pz70 when I bought it. I am sure it is nothing special. The 50mm f/1.7 is a pretty good lens. Under-rated. The 50mm f/1.4 is the King of Bokeh; but what the f/1.7 gives up in Bokeh, it makes up for in sharpness. -- 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: question for the brits American to English translation
If you ordered pommes dauphinoises and were served with apples cooked in garlic, butter and cream to go with your grilled lamb you'd probably be a bit put out. Done properly that doesn't sound like it would be half bad. Baking an apple with a filling and bed of garlic and rosemary or herbes de provence and a little butter definitely tastes like an option. Now, as for the cream, I'd fry the lamb hard for a minute on either side, then let it sit in the oven at low temperature and use the cream to get the fried lamb aroma out of the pan, pour that over the garlic bed and there you go. Process and quantities differ but I should try it some time =) I'll let you know.

Re: PDML Exhibit participants
