Re: smaller resolution vs native formats
I remember setting my K7 to 6Mp to compare with my K110D (max 6.1Mp). I could see no difference but the K7 files were considerably larger than the K110D files. I'll repeat the exercise later today with the K110D & the K5 (sold the K7) & post the images & stats. Alan C On 05-Jul-18 11:22 PM, J.C.

Re: OT: This and that
Well, as it turned out they moved the fireworks display from downtown this year to where I couldn't see them from the top of the parking garage. I saw this article on PetaPixal: https://petapixel.com/2018/07/03/how-to-shoot-defocused-firework-photos/ Gave it a try. Haven't had time yet to look through the results. Didn't look that good on the little TV screen on the back of the camera when I chimped some of them. Maybe they'll be better once I get them up on the big screen.

Re: PESO: What Exit Wine
I am in Somerset County, and I did a lot of work for the old AT in the 1970s and 1980s. They were my largest single client for years. Which AT facility were you working with? I did a lot of work on the "Long Lines" facility in Bedminster, and I did the zoning applications for the office complex off 202/206 in Bridgewater. Mostly I worked with the facility managers at Mount Airy Road. I also represented the company in constuction litigation. As far as corruption goes, Sen Menendez, who was prosecuted for corruption by the Justice Dept under Obama, is running for re-election, and will undoubtedly win. It seems NJ alway has one honest Senator and one Crook: Case/Williams, Bradley /Torricelli, and now Booker/Menedez.

Crap and corruption
I opened Lightroom to find a file, but when I tried to open said file in Photoshop, I discovered that the file did not exist outside of the Lightroom catalogue. Somehow, my Drobo managed to completely lose my entire image file directory. That's over 30k files dating from 2006 to last week that just went poof. It's the only directory that went walkabout, and it is well and truly gone, as a deleted file finder wasn't able to turn anything up. I am at a complete loss as to how something like this could happen. Fortunately, I have a secondary storage location, I'm pretty sure I haven't lost many images, but I would really like to know how (and why) this one directory decided to disappear.

Pentax k-70 - damn! now I'm in trouble!
It has me at the fold out screen allthe other stuff is nice too, but that fold out screen is something I truly need in my studio for product shooting without wrecking my already broken back. I need to figure out a way ot finance this... will I get anything on a trade in with my k-5 body? I looks like it is a bit lighter than the K-5 too... and I see there are refurbished bodies out there. and I thought the K-5 would last me forever... ann -- ann sanfedele photography https://annsan.smugmug.com https://www.cafepress.com/annsanstuff https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/annsan -- 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.
smaller resolution vs native formats
are the photos from a 16Mp DSLR set to the 6 Mp setting sharper than a 6 Mp DSLR running at full resolution? My hunch is they would be but has anyone ever tried this or a similar comparison? -- J.C.

Re: PESO: What Exit Wine
Wine in a can can be from CA. It's called "simpler wines": https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/simpler-wines BTW, peach wine from this line is a good summer refresher. Dan: We've had some interesting fruit wines from NJ/NY wineries. (we like different wines for different occasions, "classic" dry, some fruit(y) wines, etc.) But the best fruit (non-grape) wine of all the times was the raspberry wine from Hoodsport Winery in WA state. We've discovered it by chance in late 90's, and had been ordering it on a regular basis since that, for some 15+ years. It was in the vicinity of $10-12 per bottle shipped (if buying a case). But... recently, its cost went up drastically ($30 now)... http://hoodsport.stores.yahoo.net/raspberry.html What's nice is that it was not sweet at all. It was very slightly off-dry, so it was fine with those who like dry wines. But because of the fruity taste, sweet-wine lovers liked it as well. Cheers, Igor P. J.

Re: Upgrade from K5 to KP???
I think I'd take a K70 over a KP, they have almost the same sensor, pretty much the same features, but a more useful flip out screen on the K70, the same battery , but I'm pretty sure better battery life on the K70. More importantly every grip that the KP to comes with is reported to be less comfortable than either the K-70 or the K-3II. The only thing a K70 seems to lose out on is the Alloy body, and more retro design of the KP, and the GPS in the K-3II. I also think the soft controls and top plate status screen make more sense on a digital camera than the pseudo mechanical controls on the KP. The current price for a K70 seems to be about $200 less than a KP as well. Personally I'd take a K-3 or K-3II since it's probably a bit more rugged than the K-70, and the sensor is also pretty much the same if you plan to do most of your processing in RAW outside the camera, and I'd actually prefer a K-3 because I'd rather have a pop up flash in a pinch, rather than a built in GPS, but that's just me.

Re: PESO: What Exit Wine
The question is not so much better, as more palatable. An inexpensive bottle of a local wine could easily be more palatable than a very expensive rare vintage. Remember one of the flavors and odors wine connoisseurs use to describe a wine is merde. On 7/5/2018 1:40 AM, Alan C wrote: What are "better wines"? Alan C On 05-Jul-18 03:37 AM, Daniel J.
