Re: Kodak film?
Your point is... ? What's the basic difference in meaning between disrupt, disrupting, and disruptive? They all mean the same thing to me, except for how they fit into a sentence grammatically. They may all mean the same thing to you, but they don't to the rest of the world. B From wikipedia: A disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network (over a few years or decades), displacing an earlier technology. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically first by designing for a different set of consumers in a new market and later by lowering prices in the existing market. In contrast to disruptive innovation, a sustaining innovation does not create new markets or value networks but rather only evolves existing ones with better value, allowing the firms within to compete against each other's sustaining improvements. Sustaining innovations may be either discontinuous[1] (i.e. transformational or revolutionary) or continuous (i.e. evolutionary). The term disruptive technology has been widely used as a synonym of disruptive innovation... That's basically what I believed they were conveying, but I'd argue it's not the first thought that comes to mind. I guess since they had a huge chance of disruptive innovation with the advent of digital imaging and blew it, they're going to try again.

A couple of different discussions about L-brackets here over the last few weeks motivated me to dig into my box of miscellany. I have a Kirk BL-K10G L-bracket which is designed for the K-10 with battery grip attached, will work as well on the K-20 with grip attached. This definitely does NOT work on the K-7/5/5ii bodies or bodies with grips. If you often shoot from a tripod, if you do a mix of landscape and portrait orientation, if you have a K-10/20, and if your tripod head accommodates Swiss-Acra style plates, then you need to buy this bracket from me. $50 plus $TBD shipping expense.

FS FRIDAY and I'm back in phew!
Don't really WANT to sell the istd body , but since I have the K-5 I'll entertain offers cause I'm really really broke - two teeth extractions and slow ebay - a bit scary. Pictures provided later if you need - I will tell you I decorated the camera with green duct tape so I could see it before my cataract surgery. just on the grip. I had one little hitch with it a while back that was fixed by removing and reinserting the batteries. I also have a film KX body - my trusty old beatup one that Eric H did a CLA on last year and a K-1000 also, but the K-1000 would really be only $20.00 plush shipping as it isn't made in Japan. Don't know what to ask for the D - you tell me what you think is fair. plus priority mail shipping in USA - about $10 ann -- 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: PESO - Crater Lake Pano
Beautiful shot, Brian. Back in 1997 (I think it was) my wife and I a couple days at the, then, recently renovated magnificent Crater Lake Lodge. Due to the fog, we didn't see the lake during the two days. It was our second visit, so the foggy weather didn't bum us out too much. The Foggy Pines shot I recently posted was taken during that visit.

Just to clarify condition: Lens = excellent, Body = excellent except for massive dent on top of prism (in fact, it still has the flash sync plugs attached) $49 plus actual shipping to your destination.

GESO: baseball playoff game
The Loons, a local minor-league team, made it into the league playoffs - we went to their first playoff game Wednesday night. A fairly good game to watch, both teams had many scoring opportunities but decent pitching and poor clutch hitting resulted in many missed opportunities. Final score was 3-0 in favor of the Visitors. A few action shots (home team in red jerseys) and a few crowd shots are at: http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p136536907 We had a good seats for viewing, 10 rows up, just left of home plate. But not so good for photography - the **@%! protective netting was just the wrong distance away so that I couldn't get any DOF on the players without at least some of the netting in the view. Oh well - try to look past it and accept it as part of the real-world context for the shots. stan -- 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: Which second party camera system do you like? Mini-survey
My only camera is, and has been for about 18 months now, a Fujifilm X10. In about 18 months I'll be in the market forma X100s (in black if they ever make the bugger). Have no wish for a system of cameras/lenses again - my photography needs have changed over the years. The X10 has a built in zoom with a useful focal range, is easy to operate but has good manual control (except focus), s suits me for now. I borrowed my son's 1D and some lenses for an outing recently, and in fact have a short paid gig on Monday photographing a funfair - will be using the same kit - and it is big and heavy. But it is bulletproof and I wouldn't use anything else for that. If it was just me I'd carry the X10 in the pocket. Sorry, not much help. There's a reason a few people on here are using Fuji. Try and get your hands on something like an XM-1 and a zoom.

Re: Which second party camera system do you like? Mini-survey
I'd take a look at the offerings from Fujifilm. They're putting out some interesting things the last couple of years.

Thank you, Joseph! The weather has been really nice in the morning for the past few days -- foggy at sunrise, which is just about the time the dogs decide it's time to wake me up.

Re: the end of email as we know it
John, he's not referring to simple static text pattern or regex based rules. He's referring to heuristic textual analysis that ranks and routes email by content. It can deal with mail from senders you've never heard from before. It's based on the same technology that they use to detect spam but repurposed to categorize it (where one of the sub-categories is spam). Back when I was building mail routers for a firewall company we were working on such a system based on Bayesian statistics. It could reliably detect spam but it could also broadly categorize email, though much less reliably than spotting spam. Google has the design chops to get that right and they are rolling that tech out now.
