Ah, but what about when Apple answers the 108-megapixel Samsung Galaxy

2030 is about 7 Moore’s cycles in the future, so with the current one at 12MP, 
iPhones should still be under a gigapixel by 2030.

Not a problem. They will get around physical limits through a
combination of: pixel-shift, software interpolation and extrapolation,
and with current upward sizing trends, by 2030 the latest iPhone will
be about the size of a sheet of drywall.

If they can make fake bokeh sort-of usable, then they can easily make
fake outlandishly huge resolution nearly usable.

Re: PESO - Olivia

[Bruce Walker]

I've got plenty more failed attempts I could post to help reset
expectations back down to manageable levels, Bill. :-)

I don't disagree with you that the way she's got her shoulders sloped
and the angle of view together do not make for the best overall shape
for her. It's hard to unsee that now.

Maybe foreshortening was the wrong word for it. All I know is the
closest objects appear the largest which makes shooting down on people
an iffy proposition if one is trying to avoid distortions. But it's
also an angle that gets you a unique perspective and has some
advantages like bringing the floor into play as a background. Jane
Bown was fond of doing portraits by getting her sitter on the floor
then standing on a chair to shoot down on them. I see lots of examples
of that in her Faces book. They look a bit odd, but worked well enough
for the newspapers she worked for.

lets call green light 500nm, so if I do my math right, a square sensor 60,000 
photons on a side would be 30 um on a side. So, that kind of sets a bottom 
limit on how small that resolution sensor could be.

Those are fun to see, especially having been to two of those parks just a

But we saw only one bear, at a distance - in the ditch on the side of the

Re: My new Pentax

[Juan Buhler]

Hahaha. Sadly, I sold my KP. I wasn't able to fall in love with it. Sold it
two years after buying it, with under 600 clicks on the shutter.

This is after shooting for years with the istD, K10D, K5, K3. I have all of
those still, except for the K3.

The age of my eyes, the size of the cameras, autofocus speed and commitment
to photographers have determined I move to Fuji. I do have a GRII and also
tons of SMC lenses so there's that.

RE: My new Pentax

[jcoyle]

Nice story Juan, and the ME range were (still are!) great film cameras.  I 
bought two of the original ME's when they came out, one of which was later 
stolen in a burglary here in Australia, some 20 years afterwards.   I still 
have the other, although the meter is no longer reliable, so I only use it with 
flash.  My own experience of recreating my first Pentax was to find an "as new" 
SV in a camera store in Adelaide, for which I paid A$250 - but what a gem! 
Still in perfect working order, and it came with the second version clip-on 
meter from the 1960's, all of which means whenever I feel like it I can go full 
retro. 
I'm sure you will enjoy that experience too!

My first real camera was an ME super with the M50/1.7. It was the silver
model, just like probably 99%+ of them, at least thatś what the proportion
of silver vs black ones seems to be.

I don't have that camera anymore, and while I still have my two black MXs,
I've always missed it a little.

Last week, browsing ebay, I saw a black ME super. Described as "untested",
and with the brassing in the bottom plate described as "rust."  $30 buy it
now, but accepting offers. I offered $25 and got it. Still a gamble, I
thought most probably I was buying a $25 paperweight.

Well, it arrived yesterday, and after exercising the shutter a little bit
and putting some new batteries in, it all works! It was awesome to see
those little LEDs come to life as soon as the batteries went in.

So while I've moved to a Fuji X-T30 for my main photography (this is the
closest you can get in digital to the feel of an MX, btw!), today I am
going out with the ME-Super and a roll of Fujicolor 200. Plus the MX-1 just
to shoot some DNGs as well and keep it Pentax.

Just look at this beauty:

Congrats on your purchase, Juan!  The MX was my first real camera, but had to 
sell it during a tough spot when in college, but after joining PDML, I bought 
Wendy’s MX!

the deer are nice and it is always good to see them, but that grosbeak 
shot is super! especially since it is not often feeder shots are.

Lovely - and I think you may be right about that Fuji!

Here’s the MX I bought new in 1979, gave up smoking for a year to pay for it. I 
don’t have the 50/1.7 lens it came with - that was among a ton of stuff that 
was stolen in 2000. That’s the 40mm pancake lens. I also have a 24-35/3.5 Lens 
and a Winder MX. When I got the stuff out just now to take the picture the 
wonder started whirring at me, which was a surprise as I didn’t realise it had 
batteries in. I took them out - they are dated Mar 2002... now in the battery 
recycling jar. The strap is an LX strap, the tripod an original Marchioni.

I think you should get a silver or black KP body to match your MX-1
and mount that M 28 on the KP.

Nice. I always liked that little camera. I was able to pick up a nice

I still have them both, and as of a few months ago, both still worked.

Here is a picture of my black ME Super body.

I’ve got a friend who is about 20 years older than me, so her father who was 
cajun was probably born in the ‘teens, in Louisiana.  It was illegal to hunt 
alligators, however it was legal to shoot them in self defense, so Rochelle’s 
grandfather would take his kids to go swimming in the bayou, and would bring 
his shotgun.

Thanks to all who looked & commented. The subjects are about 50m 
distant. Harsh light. I Couldn't get closer without breaking the rules.


Yes, Rick, I have the same problem. I think it is drooping down 
underwater towards the bank. That massive croc. has been hanging around 
for some time & seems to be the only one. There is also a lone Hippo. 
Sable Dam is fed by local perennial streams & is far from the Letaba & 
Olifants rivers so it is amazing they are there at all. They probably 
moved upstream during a rainy season.


Saddlebilled Storks are generally found in pairs. I'll wager that is a 
male & his mate is sitting on eggs in a nest on top of a thorn tree 
somewhere nearby.

I thought the first stage of manufacture required two crocodiles.

Wouldn't the other one be beneath the one we see in the photo?
