Friday for sale
Hi! Last week few people contracted me regarding the FA 20/2.8 and asked for details. It was silly of me not to provide them up front. So here goes. Asking price is USD 600 all inclusive. I pay the paypal fees and I pay the EMS shipping with insurance. Given the relatively high cost of this lens, I wouldn't agree to use any other shipping but EMS. If you prefer UPS, DHL or any other specific express mail service - let me know, I will inquire. But EMS seems to be good enough and it is integrated into local postal service. The lens is described in some detail here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/pentax_fa_20mm_review.php Please notice that the filter from the pictures of the lens is unavailable. Tim owns it now. Also for sale are FAJ 18-35/4-5.6 and ZX-L (MZ-6) film camera with FG battery grip. Please contact me off the list if any of the above is of your interest. Thanks.

Re: Photographing from a Light Plane
On 8/7/11, Brian Walters, discombobulated, unleashed: G'day all In a few weeks my wife and I will be heading off to Central Australia. On the way we plan to take a flight over Lake Eyre* in a light aircraft. I've never photographed from a plane before so I'm wondering is there any special gotchas I should be aware of. Lens choices, shutter speeds, filters, etc Any advice will be gratefully received. Reflections from windscreens / windows will be your biggest problem. Note in some planes the side windows are actually perspex or similar and not glass at all. These are horrific for shooting through, especially into the sun - try and sit on the shadow side if possible. An ideal piece of kit would be some sort of large rubber ring around the end of the lens to make contact with the glass / perspex so you can get a steady shot and no reflections. Not an option in your case i dare say but when we fly professionally, it's always helicopter and the door is off. Some aircraft have a small aperture in the side window that can be opened - if the pilot allows, you might pop your lens through that. Otherwise, enjoy the flight and don't worry about getting amazing pics.

Re: GESO - At Home with the Grebes - update
The shots of the Grebe bring to mind an incident several years ago in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monumentin southeastern Utah, while on a weeklong photo shoot. We were on a two track, early one morning, miles from any paved road, or body of water, heading across miles of scrub toward a little used horse corral, when we came across a Western Grebe simply sitting on the ground. The photo pro I was with is also an avid birder he identified the bird as a Western Grebe knew that to become airborne the Grebe had to takeoff from a body of water. The bird seemed ok we assumed it had for some reason landed in the desert on its own. We captured the Grebe, put it in a duffel bag with its head sticking out since we were so far from water, we proceeded to spend the better part of the day photographing, keeping an eye on the bird offering it water from time to time. Later that afternoon we got permission from the owners of the Boulder Mountain Lodge to free the Grebe on their pond. We let the Grebe free on the pond, apparently no worse for the captivity - it surely would have died or been killed if it remained in the scrub.

How is Ricoh marketing going to help Pentax, and if Ricoh sees Pentax marketing helping them, they've been badly misinformed. Ricoh camera division exited the USA about 12 years ago. They returned in small volume distribution just recently, although they've been successful with their high-end compact niche all along. They've existed in the USA on private, independent imports through particular suppliers .. and enough of them that the enthusiast community hasn't forgotten them. So you wouldn't see many of them in stores just yet. I'm pretty sure the Pentax acquisition is in good part a USA reentry strategy. It nets them the Pentax USA distribution network as well as the brand name and assorted technologies. The Pentax distribution network, small and potentially weak as it might be, is a heck of a lot better than no distribution network at all. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.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.
