That -is- one arrogant-looking cardinal! Very nice composition; and I
like the way the branches and buds add to, rather than distract from,

Congrats on the cap - a small triumph against interminability.

push-on cap with the green felt lining.

Only cost me $40 (incl. shipping & handling).


That is exactly why the first thing I do is put the Pentax lens cap 
safely in a drawer and put a $3 ebay lens cap on the lens. I just by 
10-packs of the 49mm lens caps.




Would be much, much happier if I'd never lost the cap in the first
place, and much happier if I'd found the one I lost. But, at least, I
have a proper lens cap.

I won't relate all the other piddling little crap I've been dealing with

half so much as the "death of a thousand cuts" from the interminable
tiny trials & tribulations I have to deal with on a daily basis.


Years ago there was a "Ziggy" cartoon:
It's not the big failures that get me down, it's the constant pitter 
patter of little defeats.




Every day seems to be 5 miles through the snow and back again with no
shoes & no feet; uphill both ways.

Semi happy ending

[John]

Somehow I lost the lens cap from my SMC Pentax-FA 77mm F1.8 Limited. I
had the lens on the camera with the lens cap on, and then the lens cap
was gone. Retraced all the places I'd been since last time I remembered
it being in place, but NO JOY!

However, I was able to find a replacement on eBay; genuine Pentax metal
push-on cap with the green felt lining.

Only cost me $40 (incl. shipping & handling).

Would be much, much happier if I'd never lost the cap in the first
place, and much happier if I'd found the one I lost. But, at least, I
have a proper lens cap.

I won't relate all the other piddling little crap I've been dealing with
this summer, other than to note that BIG PROBLEMS don't bring me down
half so much as the "death of a thousand cuts" from the interminable
tiny trials & tribulations I have to deal with on a daily basis.

Every day seems to be 5 miles through the snow and back again with no
shoes & no feet; uphill both ways.

Yet I persist.

Re: Inexpensive Pentax AC adapter

Same part number for the K-3 family and the K-1.

So the cheapie I linked to on Amazon would work in the K-1 also.

Re: PESO - Forest's Edge

[P. J. Alling]

Marc, this isn't a deep criticism of this image so much, but that in 
general when images are converted from B film to digital for web 
display there seems to be a distance lack of contrast, that I'm almost 
sure would be there if the image was wet printed. Maybe that's just 
me.   Oh, yes, this image does need some real blacks and  real whites too.

Re: Inexpensive Pentax AC adapter

[P. J. Alling]

Assuming the Voltage regulator's failure mode is automatic cutoff, it 
should work fine.  If it's failure mode is surge, there might be problems.


I've looked at the HQRP a couple of times but always held back on a 
purchase, because, while, the Pentax OEM is definitely over priced, the 
price for the HQRP seems to be too good to be true.
