Re: Salzburg to Prague
Google maps says "Cycling not available" 8 -) but the walking route has a total rise of just under 3000metres and a fall of just over, taking three days. Good luck and have fun.

Salzburg to Prague
We're off to Austria tomorrow, doing a bicycle trip that starts from Salzburg and ends up in Prague. It shouldn't be a very strenuous trip, as they're saying 36 miles is the most we'll be covering in a day, so that ought to leave plenty of time for some photography.

My K1 has been sitting pretty much idle since February, but my use of it since I got it has almost always been on a tripod using live view. The exception has been when I'm doing the now very rare portrait session. I prefer a bit more mobility than tripods give. I bought quite heavily into the Fuji system in 2013 when I bought an X-Pro1 and shortly after an X-T1 and used it instead of the K3 until the K1 came along. In 2016 I bought one and more or less forgot about the Fuji kit. In February I decided I really had to clean out the dumpster that my office had turned into, and there, under a stack of empty pizza boxes was my old Fuji kit. I thought to myself that the Fuji lenses are just too nice to not use, but 16mp is so last decade, so I looked at what Fuji had now. The X-T5 popped up in my search, I decided it met my wants, and so I bought one. And then LBA hit hard. Eschewing my eschewing of zoom lenses, I built a really nice kit for the Fuji with the 8-16/2.8, 16-55/2.8, 50-140/2.8, 80/2.8 macro, a Viltrox 75/1.2 and a 1.4 teleconverter (something I also have traditionally been loath to use). This was rather counterproductive in a way as the X-T5 is a very small body, similar in size to an LX, and the lenses rather dwarf the camera, but they are very good and make very nice pictures. The X-T5 is a very demanding camera regarding how it is used. Forty MP packed into an APS-C sensor means one's ducks really need to be aligned, but if the photographer is willing to put the work into it, the results from it are superb. One thing I've noticed is that the EVF in it doesn't give me the eye strain of previous generations. bill On 8/23/2023 11:27 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Good point, Bill. This makes sense.

The (IMHO only) advantage of mirrorless is focusing directly on the sensor rather than via a secondary method (either focusing screen or an AF sensor that isn't on the imaging sensor. For a DSLR to focus accurately, the secondary systems used must be in absolutely perfect registration to the sensor, something that is next to impossible to obtain in a consumer level device. Contrast this with a mirrorless where there is no need for this registration accuracy as focusing is done on the sensor plane. With mirrorless, focus accuracy is primarily determined by the resolution of the focus motor. With the DSLR, focus accuracy is determined by the accuracy of placement of the focusing system, be it the view screen or AF sensor, in relation to the sensor plane as well as the resolution of the focus motor. To get the same accuracy of focus in a DSLR, you need to use liveview, effectively turning your DSLR into a mirrorless camera. bill -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
