Re: Don't leave home with out one.
I never lost all my oil on my very little Suzuki 250, but I did lose my battery cover once while going 85. While riding along, I just had the feeling I'd lost something happen to catch in my side mirror the battery cover bouncing along the shoulder like a small tumble weed. My Suzuki was my 1st and only bike. I bought it from another lady biker. I had it for 3 years and used it to drive to work when I worked on Michigan avenue at EJL advertising. I used to park it on lower Michigan ave near the Tribune tower--a kind of makeshift parking space for bikers. When I left EJL to go to grad school, my coworkers put together a little best wishes photo piece, and the Creative director wrote: I finally got to meet a biker chick, and she leaves me. I left EJL in June, met my husband in July, sold the bike about a year later, then got domestic.

Re: Don't leave home with out one.
Saving plastic's not the point. If you examine the hot shoe closely on among other cameras the like *ist-D and Ds, the hot shoe equipped prisms for the LX the ME and probably other cameras as well, you'll see a plastic pin, under the metal leaf spring on the same side as the cutout on the flash shoe cover. That plastic pin is an isolation switch to keep the hot shoe from being live when a flash is connected to the PC socket, (yea, what really makes sense on a *ist-Ds, since it doesn't have a PC socket but that's another matter). The cutout keeps the spring in the switch from being under stress while the hot shoe cover is in place. There may also be some other reason to keep that switch open when the hot shoe cover is in place, but I can't imagine why... mike wilson wrote: From: Ken Waller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/05/26 Mon PM 09:32:56 GMT To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: Don't leave home with out one.

After downloading all the cards, I reloaded the primary and put it back in the bag. When I grabbed a camera on the next outing, I accidentally picked up the 2nd body on my way out. I now make sure that all cameras have cards BEFORE putting them away after use. Of course, the K10D will save my bacon as long as I remember that there is a spare card in the grip. ;) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of frank theriault Sent: Monday, May 26, 2008 11:37 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Don't leave home with out one.

Think of the alliterative phrases one can conjure up from my name: Frankie F**k-up, anyone? ;-) Anyway, about a month ago I wandered out of the house with my *istD for an afternoon. For whatever reason, I didn't see much to shoot that day. As I got to within a couple of blocks of my apartment, I went to shoot something completely inconsequential, only to discover that the body had no card in it. Whew! I thought to myself. No harm, no foul. I'm lucky I didn't miss any good shots, but who else would be as stupid as me and forget their card? Today you answered my question, Dave! ;-) cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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. -- 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. -- 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.
RE: Don't leave home with out one.
Why does the camera let you take pictures without a card? Doesn't sound right to me. I always plug the camera into the PC to download photos, so the card doesn't leave the camera unless it's full and I'm putting a new one in, or I'm downloading several cardsworth of pictures.

One of the reasons why I bought the accessory grip is because it holds a spare cared. That's why I have an MZ-S camera strap on my camera: It has pockets, one on each side, to hold spare items. The intended contents are an IR remote control and an eyepiece blind but I keep a couple of memory cards in place of the eyepiece blind (I just use manual exposure if I think light entering thee viewfinder will be an issue). It's the only thing I like about SD cards as opposed to CF. -- 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.
