You're right. Just looked again. It's now at $540 with almost two days to go. Five bids. Most of them from Europe. I warned the top bidder that shipping was about $50. Apparently, that's okay with him. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

After opening your image, go to the layers window and double click on the background layer. Another box will ask you to name the layer. You can just leave it as layer 0 and click okay. Then set your opacity. You'll have those little boxes. Go to the layers menu at the top and choose

FA lenses on *istDL...focus issues?

2006-08-26 Thread Brendan MacRae
Someone bought my FA 28-105mm 3.5-4.5 on eBay and is having issues with AF. Supposedly (according to some posts on DP review) this is common? Focusing past 60mm and the AF goes all wonky. Is there a fix for this other than focusing manually or using DA lenses only? -Brendan

I don't own this lens, but I have a number of FA lenses, and they all autofocus very well on both of my *ist D cameras. You can read a lot of things on dpreview that aren't necessarily true. A lot of wonky users over there. Paul On Aug 26, 2006, at 9:40 PM, Brendan MacRae wrote: Someone

The viewfinder alone is the reason I've been shooting more film lately. But at $5000, it will be hard for me to justify. I'll most probably just get a K10D for now. Maybe Epson/Cosina will put out something similar and cheaper... j On 8/26/06, Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From

Yeah, an old Leica film camera is a great thing to have, but I don't need an overpriced Leica digital. The K10D will be my main camera for quite a while to come, with the *istD as a backup. When the next Pentax digital upgrade is released, the D will go and the 10 will become the backup.
