Re: hardware problems

[Paul Sorenson]

It does take some patience...If I remember correctly I used a straight 
paper clip and one with a small "L" bent on the end as tools and was 
able to maneuver the piece(s) around so when I tipped the camera they 
were able to fall out.

good call, unfortunately the contacts act like barbs to keep the piece in.

It’ll take some interesting work to remove

Pentax firmware updates

[Larry Colen]

It mostly seems to be support for the new HD limited lenses
http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/k3_s.html?_ga=2.110284417.548312491.1618536543-1218849029.1618536543

for K-1, K-3, K-3ii
Optimized focus operation for new lenses HD PENTAX-FA 31 mm F1.8 Limited, HD 
PENTAX-FA 43 mm F1.9 Limited, HD PENTAX-FA 77 mm F1.8 Limited lenses and smc 
PENTAX-FA 31mm F1.8AL limited, smc PENTAX-FA 43mm F1.9AL limited and smc 
PENTAX-FA 77mm F1.8AL limited lenses.

This link says the K-1 II gets new PRIME IV
https://www.dailycameranews.com/2021/04/new-firmware-updates-for-pentax-k-1-ii-k-3-k-3-ii-k-70-cameras/
Pentax K-1 Mark II camera comes with a newly incorporated accelerator unit with 
the PRIME IV imaging engine to achieve high-speed operation and excellent 
noise-reduction. As a result the ISO range has also been extended up to ISO 
819200.

But I don’t see anything about that in the updates.

Re: hardware problems

I had a similar problem with my K-5.  Using a good magnifying glass 
check the bottom of the card slot for bits of plastic.  I found pieces 
in the slot that appeared to look like they were from a damaged SD card, 
although I could never identify which one.  I managed to fish the pieces 
out and the latch has worked properly since.

Re: hardware problems

[Larry Colen]

I got home in the wee hours last night, moved my catalogs to the home machine, 
and the bad files seem to be reloading OK on the desktop.  So, yay.

There seems to be one file damaged in some other way that I can’t recover.

my K-3, in the same way that it had been trashed in my K-1.  The door will

If only that A7sIII was inside the MZ-D, even today that would be a camera to 
die for.

Wouldn't you like a 6MP full frame camera with today's tech?

Heh, I guess that's the Sony A7siii, sort of...

Not only that I think they had two unreleased MZ-Ds, one of them in
snakeskin and gold.

Re: OT: Backroad Buildings photo book

[Daniel J. Matyola]

NOMADLAND is indeed a great movie!  I hope it wins the Oscar.

I love Frances McDormand as an actress.

The Coen Brothers had another specific actress in mind when they wrote
Blood Simple (I forgot exactly who).  She told them she couldn't do it,
because she had contracted for another film, but suggested they might like
her roommate --   McDormand.  They did like her, especially Joel.

Alan Sir, in fact I was in this Camera Shop last year - just before
the Covid ruckus - and saw a used Pentax 16-50/2.8 in excellent
condition for MNT (Mongolian Tugrik) 555,750 or US $ 195.and a Sigma
150-500 mm f5-6.3 APO DG HSM Lens for MNT 912,000 (USD 320).
Since I already had an older Bigma and the Pentax 16-50 I did not pick them up.
