I popped over to Milwaukee this past weekend to checkout the landscape photography exhibit that was mentioned on the list a while back. It was a great exhibit and my wife and I enjoyed touring touring Milwaukee, an interesting town with lost of neighborhood bars. The Milwaukee Art Museum was

I've decided that I should put together a set of prints that I can show. I've also decided that my birthday party in a few weeks is as good of an excuse/opportunity to show off prints as I'm going to get, and would be good incentive to have a set in case I have an opportunity to do a real

It only became possible to "set" the focal length in the camera after SR was implemented,  Prior to that I don't think that Pentax or anyone else bothered since that was unimportant to the cameras ability to use the lens and being able to arbitrarily change the focal length in the EXIF could

Thanks Dan. Usually the background with insect pics is completely blurred, but here I had more distance to the dragonfly and had to crop a lot. Manual focussing is essential, as well as a lot of patience. Henk Op 2018-08-21 om 23:11 schreef Daniel J. Matyola: Nice work! I love the crispness

Well that makes sense, the earlier TC was just passing information along for EXIF data, any newer TC would probably be taking IBIS into account with cameras that have that feature.  The fact that it's also more accurate data even if the camera doesn't have that feature is secondary. On

Ricoh does some marketing and apparently has deals with B, Amazon and others to promote Pentax products. That’s efficient marketing. PPG is hugely inefficient. It has to be staffed and maintained, and then for it to be effective, it has to be promoted. Not a good way to spend a thin marketing
