20 minutes left on Fastpack 350 for $60

2016-11-27 Thread Larry Colen

It's an awesome camera bag, excellent for the APS bodies and lenses

About 20 minutes left to get a Fastpack 350 from B for $60.  When I 
bought my last one, they were out of production.

Re: PESO - Signage - 'Where am I'

2016-11-27 Thread Alan C
You just reminded me of an incident some years ago. We were travelling back 
from Tzaneen at night. At one point there is a sign showing a Kudu in a 
jumping pose &, sure enough, when we got there, there were Kudus on the 
verge. As a Kombi in front of us slowed down, a startled Kudu bull ran & 
jumped right over the roof.

Re: Ricoh Peso - Bright Angel trail

2016-11-27 Thread ann sanfedele
I stayed over two nights on at the Phantom Ranch in a cabin... what a 
treat! between Christmas and New Years..   It was 10 ° F at the rim the 
morning


we mounted up and the next day at the ranch it was 60.   I was very 
stiff after so long on a mule when I had not riddine in a a few years.. 
took a ten mile RT hike at the base to get the kinks out...  It was an 
amazing experience - my present to myself for having had to endure 
Christmas in Houston because my mother was there...

The mule helped.. I took this on the way down the trail on Mule back...

I got to be second to the trail leader because I had been a horse rider

Re: digitizing 8mm film with K1?

2016-11-27 Thread Otis C. Wright, Jr.
Not sure how relevant this is but a a few years ago I picked up a Sony 
VHS to DVD converter (not very expensive) and  let one of son's who had 
time on his hands convert our VHS tapes to DVD...quite easily as I 
recall ... reasonable, certainly acceptable quality.   Sent our PAL 
tapes from our decade or so in 'Oz out for commercial 
conversion...results were quite good.


We sent our 8mm out and results were acceptable as there was a fair 
amount of degradation and it took a bit of restoration to get to 
"acceptable."  Also, they took good care of fragility that developed on 
some tapes.

Far fewer old 8mm movies around that someone might need transferring -
perhaps more of a business opportunity would be offering a service to
transfer old VHS home movies to digital files. All you need is a HVS

I am getting more and more facts on the table to understand pros and cons

Out sourcing will cost here (in Holland) around 2 USD per minute, if that

To decide what I want to transfer, I will have to project and watch any

I have an Elgato Video Capture USB device for Mac, $80 at Amazon.com, that 
takes a 2-channel audio/composite video input source and renders it to an MPEG4 
or iMovie file. It's perfectly fine for VHS or LaserDisc quality video, which 
is only rarely as good as 480p. I've captured all of my old VHS tapes and a few 
LaserDisc recordings with it, and the quality is quite viewable on an iPad, 
even satisfactory on my television. Comes with its own capture software which 
makes it a breeze to use. 

I seem to recall a couple of very inexpensive devices designed to allow video 
recording of film movies. They basically incorporate a rotating shutter which 
you synch up with the film to eliminate the strobing and black out effects. But 
obviously you can do without it if a little strobing doesn't bother you: 
  https://youtu.be/QHbZEoiISQQ
Do not imagine you'll get incredibly high quality doing this, but it does work. 

If you want to capture a few select frames at K1 resolution, you'll need a very 
high magnification macro setup. Minox 8x11 mm format film requires about 2.8:1 
magnification to capture, the result being about 21 Mpixel of a 24 Mpixel FF 
camera. Regular 8 is about 1/5 the area of Minox format, so you'll need about 
9:1 magnification at least to get close to filling the capture frame. (It's 
better to use a smaller format digital like FourThirds since only 2:1 there 
nets something much closer to 8mm movie format.) Again, don't expect 
super-high-quality results.

Far fewer old 8mm movies around that someone might need transferring -
perhaps more of a business opportunity would be offering a service to
transfer old VHS home movies to digital files. All you need is a HVS

Re: PESO: Last Rose of Summer?

2016-11-27 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
Thanks, Alan, Ann and Malcolm.

We have had nightly frosts almost every day for the past 20 days or so
here.  I usually get my last rose in mid October, instead of late
November.  In any event, it is a pleasure to see it this time of year.  It
bloomed almost the same time as my (indoor) Christmas cactus plants.

Re: digitizing 8mm film with K1?

2016-11-27 Thread Jos de Fotograaf
Thanks Steve, that are some very interesting links, showing good results 
with Canon dslr.


Making my own telecine machine would be a very interesting project, but 
I have several very interesting projects waiting for me to have time..


I am getting more and more facts on the table to understand pros and 
cons of the different systems,


Out sourcing will cost here (in Holland) around 2 USD per minute, if 
that is cheap or not will depend on how many minutes I will have to 
transfer.


To decide what I want to transfer, I will have to project and watch any 
how for several hours, I intend to use that time to copy directly from 
the screen and to see if flicker and banding problems can be solved.


Greetz, Jos

Oh!
Certainly not the "Lakeside" I was hoping for.
Funny, though :)

Re: digitizing 8mm film with K1?

2016-11-27 Thread mike wilson
Sorry, I've been away terrorising the Scots.  Most people have answered the
reasons why it is not a good idea.  I would only add that the camera will also
record projector noise (assuming the 8mm is silent) as well as the picture.
 It's just a lot less fuss to have it done.  If I were _really_ desperate to do
it myself, I would look online for a secondhand transfer machine.  You might be
able to pick one up, do the job and resell it for quite a small final outlay.
