K-x mirror slap, anybody seen this problem?
I took a peek back in the dpreview Pentax SLR forum. There's a lot of wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth over mirror slap problems with the K-x. You'd think that it was a miracle if anyone got a clear picture with the K-x. Has anyone on this list had any sort of problems with blurry pictures from mirrorslap? Could I just be lucky? Or horribly uncritical over the quality of my pictures? By the way, I'm in the middle of posting a couple of sets to http://flickr.com/ellarsee that were actually taken with the K-x, in daylight, at base ISO and reasonable shutter speeds.

If you're willing to step outside the brand, The Vivitar 28mm f/2 is
very nice in the Komine flavour (49mm filter ring and serial number
beginning with 28). The P/KA version can be had for under $200 on a
good day, while the P/K usually goes for about $50 less.

The smc Pentax [K] 30mm is a much better lens than most of the smc
Pentax 28mm f2.8 lenses, (I've never actually used any of the f2.0
lenses), isn't usually that much more expensive than a 28mm f2.8 and has
a certain snob appeal.

Re: fun stuff .. Pentax 110 lenses on Micro-FourThirds
Aperture and shutter are part of the same mechanism in the camera body.
I expect a good machinist could make an adapter that had an aperture
built in, but then it might change the register distance too much.

Optio i-10
I really wanted to like this camera, but what a disappointment ... this is the review I put up on amazon.com. I'm surprised there's nothing else out there yet on this camera at all, considering the interest it sparked around the Web when the design and images of it were released back in January. But there's only my review on the black one and (oddly and separately) one person's review on the white one at amazon.com ... Wow, I wanted to love this camera ... the aesthetics/design got me as soon as I saw the first images released back in January. I have enough old Pentaxes (including an Auto 110 Super) to really appreciate the retro look, styling and old-style logo. The form factor was actually quite nice, with a good balance, small but really nice right-hand grip, and a pleasant grippy texture. It was a bit light (plasticky) for its size. But the picture-taking experience -- slow, slow, slow, at least by 2010 standards. I think the 2004 PowerShot I have is faster. Flash photos were terribly slow because of the preflash, which seemed to add an extra second and a half to the process. And images were soft overall, but softer as you zoom anywhere near the telephoto end. Noise and speckling was apparent at nearly all ISO speeds. As far as positives about image quality, in bright daylight, at 80 ISO (the sensor's base speed), images weren't bad and the lens did show good flare resistance. Videos were technically HD, but at quality poor enough that it didn't seem to be worth the higher spec. Zoom in video mode is only available as digital zoom, which degrades image quality immediately. Sliding battery cover was very fragile and seemed prone to become misaligned and I was very, very careful with it; I would always worry about its durability. I didn't get to check out any of the really fancy features like pet face recognition. Human face recognition seemed to work reasonably well, though the photos weren't necessarily better exposed because of it. In fact, basic flash photos/snapshots seemed washed out, with very muted colors. All in all, a very big disappointment. I knew it had fairly average camera specs (fairly run-of-the mill point-and-shoot specs for a 2010 ps) with a cool design, but the photo quality was such a step backward from anything else I'm using today that I had to return it.

Re: Peso: Crocus II
G
Naturalizing bulbs is the practice of placing them under trees or at
the edge of a wooden area, and letting compete with the natural
vegetation, rather than planting them in a more formal garden setting
and removing weeds and other competition around the bulbs. Since they
emerge so early in the season, this generally works well and enhances
the effect of their solitary appearance.

Re: K-x mirror slap, anybody seen this problem?
Hello Larry, I have read through many of the posts concerning this mirror slap. I personally have not noticed it and my K-x is beyond 6000 frames shot. The images displaying the problem seem rather distinct and obvious to pick out. If I had to guess, I would think that perhaps the problem was in a certain batch or that it has been fixed quietly and that later bodies are less likely to exhibit the issue. Being the first kid on the block with the new toy does have its down sides. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, March 22, 2010, 12:52:29 AM, you wrote: LC I took a peek back in the dpreview Pentax SLR forum.

Re: Stating the obvious
In the late 80's I lived in St. Charles, Mo., and witnessed several low land floods due to high water in the rivers. Low lying homes were damaged in some cases wiped out. After the water receded, most of the places flooded were repaired/rebuild and re-inhabited. DUH ! I saw several cycles of this and just couldn't understand the thinking on this.

Re: Optio i-10
Optio is I-10 like a fairy tale princess - a real beauty, but not too smart. Not as dumb as Amazon reviewer said, just ... a bit retarded. BR, Margus Joe Wilensky wrote: I really wanted to like this camera, but what a disappointment ... this is the review I put up on amazon.com. I'm surprised there's nothing else out there yet on this camera at all, considering the interest it sparked around the Web when the design and images of it were released back in January. But there's only my review on the black one and (oddly and separately) one person's review on the white one at amazon.com ... Wow, I wanted to love this camera ... the aesthetics/design got me as soon as I saw the first images released back in January. I have enough old Pentaxes (including an Auto 110 Super) to really appreciate the retro look, styling and old-style logo. The form factor was actually quite nice, with a good balance, small but really nice right-hand grip, and a pleasant grippy texture. It was a bit light (plasticky) for its size. But the picture-taking experience -- slow, slow, slow, at least by 2010 standards. I think the 2004 PowerShot I have is faster. Flash photos were terribly slow because of the preflash, which seemed to add an extra second and a half to the process. And images were soft overall, but softer as you zoom anywhere near the telephoto end. Noise and speckling was apparent at nearly all ISO speeds. As far as positives about image quality, in bright daylight, at 80 ISO (the sensor's base speed), images weren't bad and the lens did show good flare resistance. Videos were technically HD, but at quality poor enough that it didn't seem to be worth the higher spec. Zoom in video mode is only available as digital zoom, which degrades image quality immediately. Sliding battery cover was very fragile and seemed prone to become misaligned and I was very, very careful with it; I would always worry about its durability. I didn't get to check out any of the really fancy features like pet face recognition. Human face recognition seemed to work reasonably well, though the photos weren't necessarily better exposed because of it. In fact, basic flash photos/snapshots seemed washed out, with very muted colors. All in all, a very big disappointment. I knew it had fairly average camera specs (fairly run-of-the mill point-and-shoot specs for a 2010 ps) with a cool design, but the photo quality was such a step backward from anything else I'm using today that I had to return it.

Re: Peso: Spring Crocus
Bob - You should be able to brighten just the green leaves using this technique: In Lightroom's Develop module open up the HSL section and click on Luminance. In the upper left corner of the HSL section you'll see a circle with a dot in the center. Click on that and it will expand by adding an up and down arrowhead to the symbol. When you move the mouse cursor over the image it will turn into that same symbol with an addition plus sign. Put the plus sign on the color you want to brighten or darken. Holding the left mouse button down and moving the cursor up will increase the luminence and brighten just that color. Moving the cursor down will darken it. When you think you have the adjustment to your liking, release the mouse button. The cursor may disappear when you depress the mouse button but that's OK - it will reappear when you release it. Just move the mouse forward or backward until the luminance of the selected color is right. Go back to the symbol in the upper left of the HSL box and click on it to turn off that adjustment function. At this point, if you decide you don't like what you did just do a Ctrl-Z to return to your previous settings.

Re: Peso: Spring Crocus
I will often make a virtual copy in Lightroom and work on that instead of the original. Than I can easily compare the original to what I've done. -p On 3/22/2010 9:29 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Thanks for the feedback Rick. I'm always pretty reluctant to do much with these sliders.

Re: PESO - Weeds
Both very nice. I think the first is my favorite, both in terms of the composition and the overall appeal, which, for me, is largely a function of the color and light.

Re: fun stuff .. Pentax 110 lenses on Micro-FourThirds

I like seeing how many people are buying these micro-4/3 cameras to adapt old/other lenses to them. I wonder if they would have sold as well if it weren't for all the tinkerers. I'm currently shooting an Oly E-PL1 for a review, and have been using the 77 Ltd on it for portraits. Great pictures, which I expected, but the surprise was how easy it is to manually focus using the LCD screen; much easier than on the K10D through the viewfinder. --M. -- http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- 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.
