Re: OT - Another bad break for a cyclist

damn what a jerk...
so sorry to hear that Frank, just hope it mends well and doesn't hurt

keep riding
Ecke

2010/12/15 frank theriault knarftheria...@gmail.com:
 Typing real slow as my left hand's in a splint with my middle fingers
 taped together.  Broke a bone in my hand after a driver attacked me
 and threw me down on my bike (bent my seatpost as well!).  Should be
 better in about a month - not a bad break, no surgery needed thank
 god.

 He cuts me off, I yell at him that I had right of way, he gets out of
 truck, grabs me (while I'm walking away with both hands on handlebars
 and 25 pounds in my backpack so I'm defenceless) and throws me to
 ground.  I try to get plate number so he pushes me to ground again and
 drives away.

 He couldn't be traced so cops can't do a thing.  I may have a claim
 against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.

 Incident happened Friday, went to hospital Sunday and yesterday got
 temporary cast off and got fitted for splint.

 Still working, with a Metropass, riding transit and walking.

 Can ride again next Monday.

 Taking camera with me to work now, so that's a good thing!

 ;-)

 cheers,
 frank

FS: LX body (BGN), AF Sigma DC 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 (EX+)

2010-12-17 Thread Joe Wilensky

LX body:

BGN or user condition, definitely, with wear and some marks, but really quite 
nice for a user LX. No sticky mirror syndrome; see pics at link below and/or 
e-mail for more details. I do have the standard screen installed and the SA-23 
screen for more precise focusing with large-aperture lenses. Lenses available 
too if you're interested. Body, strap, caps, and extra focusing screen, $200.


Sigma DC 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5:

This is the older version of this lens, the one without image stabilization 
(though on the Pentax bodies, you don't need it)!

EX+ condition, includes original caps and hood.

$250, includes shipping  insurance in the continental U.S. Outside the U.S. 
will be slightly more with shipping.

help needed: Pentax stores in Portugal or Andorra

2010-12-17 Thread Luiz Felipe

Thanks Jaume - sorry about the delay, been down with virus.

I'll check it out ASAP. Andorra would be nice since my group can't possibly get 
lost there in my free day... Our Barcelona stay should be frantic - too much to 
see - and I'd be at their service all the time. But I'll be there for a while 
:-))

Luiz Felipe
luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br
http://www.techmit.com.br/luizfelipe

original message follows:
Luiz,

I bough my Mz-5n in Andorra around 8-9 years ago and the prices were quite 
interesting at that time. However, I have the understanding that it is not that 
interesting after the Euro, although there are still some deals.
An example (I guess you'll be able to read Spanish) from the main Spanish 
Pentax 
forum:
http://www.pentaxeros.com/forum/index.php?topic=35370.0

They even have a shop that is a good representation of the best prices that you 
can find in Spain for new Pentax equipment:
http://www.tiendapentaxeros.com/

From what I see online and in magazines, the prices in France are higher than 
in 
Spain (and Andorra, of course). I don't know about Portugal though (I live in 
the opposite side of the peninsula), but I don't think that is is specially 
cheap (the importer is the Spanish one, Reflecta).

I'll ask some colleagues for shops in Andorra and let you know off-list. If you 
are going to visit Barcelona, let me know and I'll be happy to inform you about 
the best shops for Pentax

Regards,
Jaume

 and threw me down on my bike (bent my seatpost as well!).  Should be
 better in about a month - not a bad break, no surgery needed thank
 god.

 He cuts me off, I yell at him that I had right of way, he gets out of
 truck, grabs me (while I'm walking away with both hands on handlebars
 and 25 pounds in my backpack so I'm defenceless) and throws me to
 ground.  I try to get plate number so he pushes me to ground again and
 drives away.

 He couldn't be traced so cops can't do a thing.  I may have a claim
 against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.

 Incident happened Friday, went to hospital Sunday and yesterday got
 temporary cast off and got fitted for splint.

 Still working, with a Metropass, riding transit and walking.

 Can ride again next Monday.

 Taking camera with me to work now, so that's a good thing!

 ;-)

 cheers,
 frank

You might as well ask why the cast of TV shows is populated by
women who are all tiny (should you actually get to meet one, the
first thought that runs through your mind is just how small she is.
Well, maybe the second thought - the first is probably that she's
even cuter in real life, without all the TV or movie makeup).

My favourite ridiculous example, at present, is a TV commercial
for York Peppermint Patties, featuring a model who looks as though
she wouldn't be able to eat more than a single bite, and who would
then go and stick her fingers down her throat lest she put on an
ounce of fat (which is probably more than on her entire body).

These aren't advertising photos. They're offered to promote a one-step software 
tool that does a blanket sweep of any distinguishing skin feature. It's for 
amateur portrait photographers and guys who want to please their girlfriends. 
Pro retouchers remove blemishes and some faults but preserve skin tonality, 
porosity, etc. Yes, some ads are over-retouched because the clients insist on 
it. But i have never seen a well produced national ad that was retouched to the 
extent seen here.

In several years of doing photos at dance events, this is the first time that

 During my recuperation phase I am supposed to be taking it easy, nothing

 around can't be considered strenuous as long as I move them separately. 
 There are several vistas from our new Michigan home which offer great 
 opportunities for shots of the local wildlife. I have added a couple of 
 bird portraits to my Posterous site, supplementing some I took earlier her

 that the cardinal shot was posted before; this newer version has a bit

Maybe selling both K-x and K20

There are times when it is really handy to have two camera bodies. On the other 
hand there are more times that it would be even handier to only need to have 
one in my camera bag.  This time of year, I often need the wether sealing of 
the K20, but more often need the high ISO of the K-x. So rather than every time 
that I leave the house deciding which to bring, they both pretty much live in 
my camera bag.

It dawned on me that there is nothing that either of those cameras will do, 
that the K-5 won't.  And if I sold both of them I might be able to pretend that 
I can afford a K-5 that much sooner.  What I don't know, however, is what 
they're worth on the used market, and how much having a katzeye screen adds to 
the value.

One silly thing I realized was that as much as I like to use the K20, and 
prefer its ergonomics, it has never engendered the affection that I have for my 
K100 and my K-x. It's almost like the K20 is a really good tool, but the entry 
level cameras are friends.

 what they're worth on the used market, and how much having a katzeye screen 
 adds to the value.


Larry,
You could search for something like pentax K20 camera on ebay, and
then checkmark Completed listings under Show Only.  That would
give you a ballpark in that market.

 Be brutal and honest, as usual.

Those are stark reminders that Israel really is, largely, a desert. They also 
do a good job of showing the natural beauty of the desert.

They also show how hard it is to photograph in desert light.  The bright 
sections look as if they could use bringing up the blacks, but that would 
plunge the shadows into utter darkness. However, I realize that you are not at 
liberty to wait until the perfect light for each of those shots, and I've got 
no idea how to do a conventional photo to handle those conditions, though I 
wonder if a polarizer would knock down a touch of the reflected glare, and have 
less effect on the landscape that's in the shade.

At the risk of being hounded from the list as a blasphemer, it seems that that 
landscape would be great material for HDR techniques.  I'm not normally a fan 
of HDR and tone mapping, and it is often inappropriately used, but those views 
could be great raw material for the technique.

During my recuperation phase I am supposed to be taking it easy, nothing 
strenuous, no heavy lifting . . . I have avoided carrying groceries, 
taking out the trash, etc., but I figure that moving a camera + tripod 
around can't be considered strenuous as long as I move them separately. 
There are several vistas from our new Michigan home which offer great 
opportunities for shots of the local wildlife. I have added a couple of 
bird portraits to my Posterous site, supplementing some I took earlier 
her and while at my brother's place in the snow belt south of Cleveland. 
Note that the cardinal shot was posted before; this newer version has a 
bit more post processing to clean it up a bit.

So, 60-250 F4 or a 3rd party 70-200 2.8?

2010-12-17 Thread Cory Waters


Thinking about surprising Santa this year and stuffing my own stocking.
I'd likely use the lens for youth soccer (futball), nature, and auto 
racing shots.

I know the 2.8 would be nice (faster is ALWAYS better, right?)
The Pentax lens has a bit more reach in either direction.  My current 
lens for shooting these soccer games is the DA 50-200.  I get decent 
shots but but they mostly need cropping.  The extra 50mm would be nice 
and I'd be moving from 5.6 to F4 so that's better.

The Pentax would have better integration with my K10 and future bodies.
Do any of the 3rd party lenses work with the supersonic focus motor?

The Pentax lens is more than a little bit more money though...

What to do?

Cory
