Chris,
I dug out the Refconverter M today and put it on the K-7.
It worked completely. The entire
This is a bit of a departure for me, but while touring the printmaking
room at the local university Art Department during my middle
daughter's Senior Exhibit, I was taken by these fabrics in the window

Upon reading Ecke's post, I seemed to recall having signed up for a
Posterous blog back when it was introduced. I checked and, sure
enough, I had on with NO posts and ONE subscriber: Ecke.
Thanks for your vote of confidence, Ecke!

Great shot. Just curious: what was the weather like after that?
You generally don't want to find out.

Forgot to mention that as we were putting our gear back in the car's

Since it was peripheral, I can't be sure, but my perception was that

Of course you can correct it. The idea of using the white balance cap

Anybody remember the Pointer Sisters? That's my theme song today as I
sold a rare vintage Takumar lens over the weekend JUST in time to find
a deal on a 1150 shutter-activations Stormtrooper K-x kit. I love my
K200D, but it will be on the block soon in order to recharge the ol'
Paypal account.
A very nice example of the Pentax-M 28mm f2.8 in beautiful optical and
mechanical condition, priced to sell quickly (I need to pay for
another purchase). The gold PASSED sticker is fully intact and looks
like new. Came to me with rear cap and a Vivitar VMC Skylight 1A
filter protecting the front.
*I* would have the 35mm macro in, but I think HE'LL be taking the 31mm.
I also guessed DA 15mm, FA 31mm FA 77mm but I fear that is too easy
and I was too late.
