Have never even seen one in the flesh.  One of the things that I truly 
appreciate about my Pentaxes is the weather sealing, which the K-S1 lacks.

I’d say to go for something with features and capabilities that the K-01 lacks 
that way you will have access to “the right camera” in a wider range of 
situations. I will say that unless I am shooting in particularly challenging 
light I almost never choose between the K-3 and the K-1 based on image quality. 
 I expect that some of the newer APS bodies are even better.

K-S1?

[Sandy Harris]

Has anyone here owned this or played with it enough to comment on it?

I'm not a remarkably dedicated or sophisticated photographer. I owned
a K-X for some time & encountered no limitations that bothered me.
Currently I have a K-01 which I mostly use with 21 Limited & 50/1.8.
That's a pretty good lightweight travel kit & I'm mostly happy with
it.

I want a second camera, mostly to improve the travel kit. Some lenses
I have -- A35-105 3.5 and Tokina 100-300 f4 -- are clumsy on the K-01
& I'd like to get something with a viewfinder for those. I'll be
visiting Japan when COVID allows & plan to prowl second hand shops
there.

K-S1 seems an obvious choice because it is light & might be cheap, but
anything from that up to K3 II might suit me. Suggestions?

Re: photographing textile arts

[Bruce Walker]

Rick, the K-3 was the first body to have the AA filter simulator
feature. See page 58 of the K-3 manual. It's enabled in the Rec 3
menu.

Hmm.  I was considering downsizing to an E-M1 III if I decide my current
camera bag is getting too heavy to lug around.  But, realistically, that
decision probably won't be affected too much by this news - whatever 
body
I end up buying this year (if anything) will almost certainly be my 
last.

Re: A little OT - Olympus selling camera business

[P. J. Alling]

Unfortunately for Olympus users it's worse than Pentax being sold to 
Ricoh,  the JIP bought Sony's VAIO brand cheapened the manufacturing and 
used the Sony reputation to sell an inferior product until there was no 
more value to be sucked from it.  They now sell two models that are just 
there to catch any unwary consumers who haven't been burned yet.

Not in ages ...hope he is ok...

for those who didn't know him or wonder what he as doing that he 
wouldn't do any more.. he was cooking burgers on a barbeque in his back

He became a vegan a few years later.. can't remember when but the switch 
was made before 2010, when I last saw him in Toronto.

We have them all over Western Europe now. In German we call them
'Kampfradler' -  combat cyclist. They think they're God's gift to mobile
humanity, they wilfully ignore all traffic rules including red lights
and if they've made you break with screeching tyres they'll yell at you
on top of all.



We had one of those goofs get knocked off his bike while running a stop 
sign. The police went to the effort of going to the hospital and handing 
him his ticket right after he got out of surgery.

Peso - Un, deux Frank's cats 2004

[ann sanfedele]

https://annsan.smugmug.com/The-Kitty-Corner/Feline-Friends-other-owners/i-gT9QB27/A

Posted on FB too..

Stumbled on this while searching for something else - dark side point 
and shoot -  these guys are watching Knarf doing something he
would not be doing today..  and actually probably has not done in over 
10 years..  The cats like it.

Re: GESO: New Neighbors

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Rick.

The first two images are of the male.  He is vivid blue in color, as
opposed to the female, which is bluish gray.  Also, the female had a grub
or insect in her mouth, and was moving more erratically,  She seemed to
notice me, and kept looking in my direction, while the male was more
focused on what he was doing.

Re: timelapse of Amsterdam

Lots of canal boats whizzing about, but what impressed me most about Amsterdam

There are some very nice shots here.

Re: photographing textile arts

[Rick Womer]

Christine, the K-5 and K-3 have anti-aliasing filters in front of the sensors 
to minimize moire. The K-5iis, K-3ii, and K-1/1ii bodies don’t, so they have a 
switchable high-speed sensor shift for moire-prone shots.

Our first one failed after a short time (the famous "Blue LED of Death")
and it took some convincing after they insisted for days we should give
them online access to our network for diagnosing a unit that wouldn't
even switch on.

None of their software is open source so you can't intervene yourself in
case of trouble and security updates are very few and far between.

Have I already mentioned that they've become scandalously expensive?

There's also a four-drive QNAP around here that's gone gaga and won't
talk to us anymore. A year or two out of warranty. No recommendation
either.

That's why I largely prefer the Helios I've got now. Its software is
open source and stored on a standard micro SD card that you can take out
and read/write with any other computer.

PESO 2020 - 146 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I'm recovering from shoulder surgery and can't sleep on my right side. Sleeping 
on my back at a semi-reclined position means that I wake up after about 
two-three hours and have to get up, walk around, and sit upright for a bit 
before I can get back to sleep. I've been going through this cycle once or 
twice per night. 

Last night I left the desk lamp in my office on when I went to bed at midnight. 
At 3:00 I awakened and this quiet, very low light emanated through the bedroom 
door from the hallway. It was beautiful; I had to make a photograph. 

 https://flic.kr/p/2jfPGb7

I set the camera up on a tripod and leveled it in the office so as not to 
awaken my partner. Quietly tiptoed back into the bedroom and place it where I 
thought would work, pointed it in the right direction. 

Hmm. What exposure? It was too dark for anything to show up on the LCD at all. 
I made an exposure on A mode and got nearly perfect exposure with the 
e-shutter. And then I realized the second problem: how to focus it. Hmm. hmm. 

I went back to the office and found my little pencil beam flashlight, shone it 
on the doorknob, and manually focused the camera. Reframed just a little by 
turning the camera and tripod just a little to the left. Made a second 
exposure. Perfect. 

As I step out of the bedroom carrying the camera and tripod, I hear this noise 
from behind me. "Go back to sleep," I said. Noise ceased. 

Onwards.

I have a DS416.

It was fairly easy to set up, and it does seem to work OK as second level 
backup.

It has a lot of features that I don’t need or use.  I don’t know how it 
compares with other NAS systems but it’s a lot slower than local storage and 
seems a bit slower than other Samba connections with computers. I ran into the 
interesting problem that storage partitions max out at 16T.  I have no major 
complaints, though my next similar system is likely going to be just throwing a 
bunch of disks inside a Linux box.  

I’ve had it for a few years, and haven’t really had any serious trouble.  It 
doesn’t make be jump up with joy, but I have no major complaints.

11 species of Pachypodium are found in Southern Africa & Mozambique. The 
largest, P. Namaquanum (Half-mense = Half-human), is found in the 
Richtersveld desert area in the extreme NW of SA. A smaller but similar 
plant, P. Lamerai (Madagascan Palm), hails from Madagascar. The latter

easily from seed. We have propagated more than enough!

I've recently assembled this one which Michael had bought a year ago and
never put to any use:

https://wiki.kobol.io/helios4/intro/

This model is no longer available but its successor, the Helios64, is
and methinks if it works as well as the Helios4 it should be great value

Re: OT network storage

[Eric Featherstone]

Easy enough. Apart from the very initial setup, you control it through
a webpage on the device itself which includes a control panel for
creating users, passwords, formatting disks etc and a file manager for
creating folders.

Yes. Specifically the DS210j bought in the summer of 2010 and the
DS214se bought at the end of 2013 (my sister's family got the 210j at
that point.)
They're both still going strong, and the DS214se still seems to get OS updates.
