Re: istD button battery cover?
This is going to seem bad, but the *ist-D is now over 10 years old. Heck I bet that the last one manufactured was probably produced in 2004 and that production run was sold until they ran out in 2006. Last time I saw a *ist-D for sale at KEH it went for less than $90.00 in EX condition. Parts are probably made out of unobtainium at this point, and since one can probably sell their *ist-D for ~90 dollars that's what the battery door is worth. I think you have two viable options. Haunt E-bay and KEH waiting for one to show up to steal the battery cover from, (or replace the entire camera with the new/old *ist-D), or replace it with a newer camera. The K-50 is still being sold new and it's just shy of being a K-5II, with a better viewfinder than the *ist-D and at it's current new price it's practically being given away.

Re: istD button battery cover?
You might try this guy: http://mikescamera.com/pentax-camera-repair-parts.html I'm not sure what part number that actually is, but if you email him (email address on that page) he would probably know. I just checked the bottom of mine and that's a bigger cover than you usually see. Not sure what other models might have shared that part. Perhaps the guy can tell you that also. If there were some of the cheap & plentiful Pentax FILM camera bodies that shared the same part, you might have better luck purchasing a whole body to rob the battery cover from. I'd google Pentax film camera specifications to see if any share the same battery with the istD (hopefully there are some) and then see which of them is cheapest on eBay.

I know that there are lots of savvy eBay and Paypal folks on the list, and there must be a fix for this stupid problem. I'm trying to buy a lens from an eBay buyer who has stipulated that he only sells to customers with a linked eBay/Paypal. So I go into my eBay account settings, click "Link with Paypal", follow the prompts, and ... nothing. Nothing except another browser tab open on eBay that is. Account remains stubbornly unlinked. Support info is useless. Forum is useless. Have tried three different browsers. Anyone here been faced with this and got past it?

Re: OT - Q: how to link eBay account with Paypal?
That's the trouble though, Ann. During checkout with this one seller I get a message that he has set the requirement that the accounts be linked, and it cancels the transaction. I cannot purchase from this guy unless I can link my Paypal with my eBay account. I have an existing Paypal account; have had since the mid 2000's. I'm sure it was linked up until eBay and Paypal split up. And yes the Link With Paypal button is there, but when I use it I get logged into Paypal, it tells me that the process is almost complete and to click another button to go back to eBay, then nothing happens. Not linked.

OT: A great use for good Scotch
My father used to make a fudge like candy that was pretty much just brown sugar, milk and some butter. He would put a little vanilla extract into it from time to time, but that was a rare occasion, generally because he wasn't using a dark sugar. One of the little stocking stuffer gifts my wife gave me for Christmas was some fudge candies from Scotland made by the distillery Edradour. They use a small amount of their Scotch as a flavoring. I decided I needed to try making this myself, so, remembering vaguely what the proportions were supposed to be (3 parts brown sugar, 1 part milk, and a blob of butter cooked to soft ball stage and then whipped after cooling to the point it was warm but not hot) I set out on a culinary experiment. I didn't have any Edradour, but I did have some Aberfeldy, and some quick math told me that 3/4 of a teaspoon was about what I wanted. And boy was I right. -- 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: OT - Q: how to link eBay account with Paypal?
I do have a Paypal account. And there's a series of steps for linking that. But when I follow them, I end up back on eBay on the Paypal Account page, but no linking has occurred. It's circular.

OT Computer stuff
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with an 8Gig SSD. Apart from being terribly slow, the SSD appears to have failed. Looking around for a replacement, I discovered the option of using a CF card with a CF/ZIF adaptor. More space, less money = happy camper. However after installation of a Sandisc 32Gig 266x and much rude language due to non-functionality, I discover that the CF card needs to be DMA/UDMA enabled and that, usually, only "industrial" grade cards provide this. Said cards are, of course, only a whisker away, pricewise, from a new SSD. However Transcend advertises CF cards that are "UDMA mode 7". Having been bitten by advertising descriptions in the past, I'd like to ask if anyone knows whether this description really allows the cards to be used as fixed discs? Or... is there any way of enabling (U)DMA on the Sandisc? -- 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 - The Number You Have Dialed... (B version)
Thanks, Paul, Rick, Ann and everyone else who threw in their 2 cents. I still don't know which I prefer. I was thinking in colour when I took it but I have to say the B worked way better than I expected. It is (as I think Bruce said) a bit menacing where the colour is a bit whimsical. To me it's like they're two different photos. No preference, I think they each have something to say. Thanks all for your input; it has been most valuable.

Pentax marketing: Really crappy sample images of Limited lenses
I preface this by saying that if I had to choose between a company that had crappy marketing and superb engineering vs a company that had superb marketing and crappy engineering I would certainly take the former... but I continue to be amazed at how poor the Ricoh/Pentax marketing is. Case in point: Here is a page with 4 Limited lenses. Take a look at the Sample Images shown for each of the 4 lenses: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/japan/products/lens_cmp2/page04.html (the link goes to the 70mm f/2.4, but you can change the URL to page03, page02, page01 (or simply click the link for the other lenses on the page). All are uniformly BLAH. A better way to judge what a lens can do is to go to the Pentax Photo Gallery and click the "Cameras and Lenses" link in the upper right hand corner. Select the lens you want to look at (ignore the cameras, unless you want to limit your search to a particular body) and click the GO button. The images of the lenses themselves on the page are gorgeous. The sample images? Not so much. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- 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 - Stage Door
Thanks Mark. I think you caught what I was going for. I actually was initially attracted by the door and posters, only as I was framing that shot in the viewfinder did I notice the (apparently) homeless person on the right. It was pretty dark in that corner and I considered dodging it a bit to make him more obvious, then I decided that hiding in a dark corner was more appropriate to the situation. Thanks again.

I decided I needed to try making this myself, so, remembering vaguely what the proportions were supposed to be (3 parts brown sugar, 1 part milk, and a blob of butter cooked to soft ball stage and then whipped after cooling to the point it was warm but not hot) I set out on a culinary experiment. I didn't have any Edradour, but I did have some Aberfeldy, and some quick math told me that 3/4 of a teaspoon was about what I wanted.

Re: OT - Q: how to link eBay account with Paypal?
I know absolutely about it, but I wonder do you have to do anything from the Paypal end to get them to link? On 1/4/2016 8:46 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: I do have a Paypal account.

In other Pentax news.
Ricoh seems to have dropped almost all of the rainbow colors from the K-50, K-S1, and K-S2 special orders. Probably to free up production capacity for the K-FF.

Re: PESOs - Deer Hunting in Michigan
Very interesting captures. The whole scene is quite different to the African bushveld. With no leaves to speak of, I imagine most people wouldn't even notice the deer which simply blend in.

Re: OT - Lowepro Nova Sport 35L AW bag on great sale ($10 or less)
My bag showed up today and I like it a lot. It is pretty roomy and versatile for its size. For one thing, my laptop fits in its slot PERFECTLY. Secondly, I like it for it's "8-pack" arrangement which can store longer lenses (optionally with a body or two attached) and larger external flash unit(s). My shorter lenses will probably remain in my backpack bags. In addition it has a couple of pockets for filters, ColorChecker, etc. It is even plenty tall enough for the Bigma, with body attached (but hood must be reversed for storage). All-in-all a handsome bag and a pretty good value even before the rebate (IMHO). Thanks again for passing along that link, Igor!
