Archimedes moment or Homer moment?
In the AF-540FGZ manual it says there is an absolute minimum usable distance in P-TTL (0.7 m). I always thought that was because the flash was unable to quench its output fast enough to operate at shorter distances. I thought so because quenching the blink was how the old TTL system worked. Then, today I took the flash off-camera and began experimenting. To my surprise, the shots where the flash was closer than 70 cm from the subject became underexposed, not overexposed. It got worse the closer I held the flash. The only explanation I have come up with is that the power used for preflash must be constant, and too strong to let the camera meter accurately at distances shorter than 70 cm. Maybe this was obvious to everyone but me. So, eureka or d'oh?

Re: K7, A Lenses and PTTL (was Re: What next in an SLR?)

Re: K7, A Lenses and PTTL (was Re: What next in an SLR?)
I hadn't looked at the metadata from my A400 in detail until you asked. From a recent shoot with the K-5, it's described as an A series lens, and the focal length is noted as 400mm. The focal length was apparently derived from the shake reduction setting, because with a couple of shots where I had neglected to change it from an earlier setting of 85mm, the metadata still reads 85mm, rather than 400mm. On both, the data noted when the AF540 flash fired and recorded f stop and shutter speed. As I recall the K-7 performed in the same manner.

Re: K7, A Lenses and PTTL (was Re: What next in an SLR?)
Hi Paul, The A 400 seems to be behaving the same as my setup when recording the information. I have discovered that if I set the shake reduction the flash behaves differently and doesn't fire at full power all the time. I normally don't bother to set it as it seems unnecessary given I'm shooting with flash and the camera is mounted to a stand. It still doesn't get the exposure correct and is variable depending on how I set things, but it is at least controllable (and more conveniently than running two flashes on manual). When you left the shake reduction on 85 did you notice any difference in exposure? Do you need to set any exposure adjustment when using the 400? I'll come to an understanding on it all eventually (then I'll buy a new camera and the rules will change!). Thanks for your help.

Re: Archimedes moment or Homer moment?
Hi Jostein, This may have something to do with my P-TTL problems and my macro set up, given that I am running 2 flashes at a distance of 5 to 10 cm. Though I'm metering the preflash with the aperture closed to f16 on a 38 mm or 20mm lens with up to 25cm of extension, so it's unlikely that the preflash is overloading the camera. Still it's more information for the puzzle. Thanks for the info. Leon On 29 April 2011 21:57, AlunFoto alunf...@gmail.com wrote: In the AF-540FGZ manual it says there is an absolute minimum usable distance in P-TTL (0.7 m). I always thought that was because the flash was unable to quench its output fast enough to operate at shorter distances. I thought so because quenching the blink was how the old TTL system worked. Then, today I took the flash off-camera and began experimenting. To my surprise, the shots where the flash was closer than 70 cm from the subject became underexposed, not overexposed. It got worse the closer I held the flash. The only explanation I have come up with is that the power used for preflash must be constant, and too strong to let the camera meter accurately at distances shorter than 70 cm. Maybe this was obvious to everyone but me. So, eureka or d'oh?

Re: K7, A Lenses and PTTL (was Re: What next in an SLR?)
Leon, Combining the info from this thread and another, you have a setup with two AF-360FGZ flashes, a 30mm (or thereabouts) lens on bellows with up to 25mm extension. The lens is stopped down to f/16, and the flash-to-subject distance is about 10 cm for both flashes. I assume both flashes are in the same mode, green P-TTL. My guess is that the extension and stopped-down aperture combined makes the preflash too weak for the camera to gauge the right exposure. It then assumes that the motif is at least 70 cm away and just about pitch dark, blasting it with all flash power available. If this is a correct guess, I believe you will continue to see overexposures as you decrease extension, until you reach a point where the preflash registers with the camera's light meter. I'm curious to see what happens then. Judging from my experience with the 540 earlier today, you should drop very rapidly into underexposure. Assuming constant flash to subject distance for all exposures. It might be a good idea to try one flash at a time too, just to rule out that the dual flash setup mess up anything. I'm very confused by my own dual flash setup, but I suspect that's down to different power rating (GN 54 vs GN 16), so it might not apply to you at all. :-) Jostein 2011/4/24 Leon Altoff leon.alt...@gmail.com: I need to find out more about this, because it doesn't work for me. At least, not with the lens I use. I'll admit it's not your normal A lens, but this set up worked on the MZ-S and the *istD and I'd love to have it work on the K7 (or the next camera upgrade).

I don't think it is directly on the sensor and here is why: The camera has 2 macro modes: AF macro and Macro zoom. The first one allows both macro and regular shots, while the 2nd one allows yet closer shots. In the 2nd mode, I can see that the dust particles change on the screen (they get larger and become out of focus) as I zoom in. I suspect that in this mode an additional lens is being moved, and probably the dust is sitting on that lens. The camera is 1.5 years old, so it is out of warranty. (We are checking if we had an extended warranty from the credit card, - but I am not sure if the warranty would cover the cleaning.) So, I am evaluating possible scenarios: 1. Send it for cleaning. If it costs more than $40-50, then it probably doesn't make sense. And I don't know if anybody does such cleaning. 2. Try to open it and to clean it myself. I've never done it, and I am not sure if this procedure would lead to some optical misalignment. Does any shop do such cleaning at a reasonable cost? Do you know any pointers to DYI cleaning of such cameras? Any other thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Re: OT - cleaning a PS from dust? - Need advice.
Not expecting much, I just called Panasonic Tech Support. Their service center can send me a refurbished camera as a replacement for $128 and change (I'd need to send my camera to them!). A brand-new camera (DMC-ZR3 - the current version of ZR1) can be purchased from Amazon for $149. Oh... It's a disposable world...

FS Friday - few zoom lenses
Hi! The following lenses (*) are for sale: - SMCP FA J 18-35/4-5.6. Good sample, surprising optical quality for the price. - SMCP FA 24-90/3.5-4.5. Bought from a fellow list member. Not in use due to Sigma 24-60/2.8 that's been bought at the same time as this one. - Tamron 28-75/2.8. Also bought from a fellow list member. Out of use mainly due to being superceeded by Sigma 24-60/2.8. Good sample, affordable fast constant aperture zoom. If you're interested, please contact me off-list. I am in no particular hurry but I'd rather I did not have those lenses lying around and also I would like them to stay in the family, so to say.

On lens profiles, LR 3.4, etc
Hi there. I've been playing with lens correction by profile as of lately. Peculiar thing, I am telling you. Mostly, from the very uneducated or inexperienced perspective it corrects distortions and vignetting. Apparently my FA limited lenses do vignette somewhat and FA 31 and FA 43 seem to have a bit of distortions that LR is correcting for me. Same goes for DFA 50/2.8, since yesterday when I had upgraded to LR 3.4. Until I actually saw all of these corrections I did not know that the uncorrected images had, how to put it, issues. And it did not bother me at all. Now at least, I seem to have yet another brush in my disposal which I may or may not apply according to how the image looks in my eyes. Fascinating.

OT: local weather acting up
Hello. We had the most peculiar thunderstorm yesterday night. First of all, to have a rain, let alone a thunderstorm, in the very end of April is very rare. But this one was really strange. I saw a lightning that was going practically non-stop for minutes. Strike after strike it went. And I did not hear any thunder. Ultimately it broke my night's sleep but it was at least very interesting. My brother told me it was some kind of tropical weather front that decided to have arrived over here. Does anyone have an idea what this might be? I really never experienced such a thing before. Even more interesting that the evening before this, I saw probably the most beautiful landscape light in my entire photographic life. The sky was dark with the thunderstorm clouds and the setting sun was shining through these clouds in this strange formation where you see great many rays of light coming down. The hills and green was very subtly lit in the most beautiful manner which I cannot describe in words. Naturally, I did not have a camera with me, as I was driving from work. At least I hope to remember this light for the future reference.

On Apr 29, 2011, at 4:57 AM, AlunFoto wrote: In the AF-540FGZ manual it says there is an absolute minimum usable distance in P-TTL (0.7 m). I always thought that was because the flash was unable to quench its output fast enough to operate at shorter distances. I thought so because quenching the blink was how the old TTL system worked. Then, today I took the flash off-camera and began experimenting. To my surprise, the shots where the flash was closer than 70 cm from the subject became underexposed, not overexposed. It got worse the closer I held the flash. The only explanation I have come up with is that the power used for preflash must be constant, and too strong to let the camera meter accurately at distances shorter than 70 cm. Very interesting. Have you tried putting some sort of a filter over the flash so that the preflash is that much weaker? Maybe this was obvious to everyone but me. So, eureka or d'oh?

Re: Archimedes moment or Homer moment?
I guess the situation may have something to do with the viewing angle of the flash. The minimum distance probably coresponds to the narrowest angle of view the flash can illuminate. Closer than that, the flash still distibutes its light to a wider area (without knowing the real distance). This, may explain the underexposure...

GESO: My new toy: Zie Zelektor!
Hi List, Since a while now I had a Tamron Adaptall SP f2.5 24mm (01BB) that I didn't really use. Lately the only thing I did with this lens is freelensing, but after 10-15 freelensing photos my sensor just got too dirty :D So I've decided to modify the lens into a permanent freelensing solution, something like the Lensbaby is. Took the lens and totally shaved off everything from it except what's the base of the lens (literally the metal parts around the glass parts) so I will have a bit more room to play with without any collision. Also took the Tamron Adaptall PK mount and removed all the parts except the mount itself. The two is linked together with some high precision super bending mechanics made out of extra high level special elastic material (*coughs* a piece of a bike inner tube) and voila, here's my own better-than-lensbaby super new lens system: Zie Zelektor 24mm! :) As we had a street party at Tottenham I took the lens for a walk and I just loved playing around with it. Mastering the use of it still needs LOADS of practice but I am already loving the results I've got. So here's the flickr set dedicated my new toy (including a picture of the Zelektor mounted on my Pentax K-r): http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/sets/72157626609950862/with/5670879686/ Comments and critiques are always welcomed!

First of all, to have a rain, let alone a thunderstorm, in the very end of April is very rare. But this one was really strange. I saw a lightning that was going practically non-stop for minutes. Strike after strike it went. And I did not hear any thunder. Ultimately it broke my night's sleep but it was at least very interesting. We often get a lightning phenomenon that I only know as sheet lightning. I believe it is cloud to cloud rather than cloud to ground, and it is silent, but very bright, and generally is travelling with a torrential rainstorm. My brother told me it was some kind of tropical weather front that decided to have arrived over here. Does anyone have an idea what this might be? I really never experienced such a thing before. Perhaps a monsoon? Even more interesting that the evening before this, I saw probably the most beautiful landscape light in my entire photographic life. The sky was dark with the thunderstorm clouds and the setting sun was shining through these clouds in this strange formation where you see great many rays of light coming down. The hills and green was very subtly lit in the most beautiful manner which I cannot describe in words. Naturally, I did not have a camera with me, as I was driving from work. At least I hope to remember this light for the future reference.
