Subject: OT Brexit Aftermath

Politics in the US is insane.  It appears almost rational, however, compared
with what has been going on in England and Europe after the Brexit vote.

Is this right?  The PM resigned, and then the Brexit leaders in his party,
Johnson and Gove, said they are not interested in the job, leaving the field
open to a steon Remain Supporter.  Farange, who started it all, said "My
work here is done," and resigned the leadershipof his party., but remains a
member of the European Parliament.  The Labour Leader won't quit, so
everyone else in his party leadership quit instead.  No one on either side
of the referendum made any plans for what to do if Leave won, and the
current PM refuses to do anything, leaving it up to his successor, who may
be opposed to leaving.  Europe wants Britain to leave now, but Britain
refuses to do anything.  Even if they do, the Scots may have veto power over
the UK's withdrawal, and everyone in Northern Ireland appears to be applying
for Irish passports.

This is a rude analysis of the situation:

Paul, I am glad that you didn't experience problems with them.
In part, it is my lack of proper checking. I was very short on time, and I 
just assumed that they can work with standard color profiles. How naive I 
was!


For comparison, - as far as I remember, Mpix uses color profiles and even 
provide their printer profile for soft-proofing.


Cheers,

Igor

Well, let me tell the entire story.
In the era of film, I've used to print at Adorama store in person, while 
living in NYC, and I had my favorite master that I was asking to print my 
photos, even if that would take an extra day because it wasn't his day.

The way Michael was doing colors was what I wanted.

Then after moving away from NYC, I've used Adoramapix a few times to order 
photos via mail to some relatives on the East cost, and some photos for 
myself.
Fast-forward some 8-10 years. A few months ago, Adoramapix started sending 
their spam (aka UCE) to the address used for my account with them.
That's after more than 8 years of no relations. (This IS a violation of the 
existing, albeit miserably failed anti-spam laws. But this message is not 
about that.)
Just before July 1, I've got an e-mail from them with a special code for 100 
free 4x6 photos.


I actually needed to print something. So, I ordered them. Of course, the 
shipping is not free, and the faster you want them shipped things quicly pick 
up quite some price (that's apart from the "rush processing" if you want to 
have them printed within less then a week).


I've sent photos with the embedded Adober RGB (And a few with PhotoRGB) color 
profiles. At the last moment, I've written in the comments that

is am embedded color profile in each photo (PhotoRGB or AdobeRGB).
A week later (when I am thinking that my order is hopefully already put in 
the mail), I am getting an e-mail message (in between 4 identical 
Adorama+AdoramaPix spam messages "Adorama + Nigel Barker | Will You Be Our 
Top Photographer?"):


" I hope you understand that our lab only prints correctly images that are 
converted to SRGB only. We do not print any other color profiles."

Virginia C. CS Agent


Doh! The can only work with SRGB?!
They, who do not think twice before throwing in the word "professional" near 
"photography" and "printing"?!


And it took them a week to read that and to respond, and to suggest no 
options, nothing...


Caveat Emptor!

I just looked: Adoramapix got awful rating on ResellerRatings:

That one was a Crestline. I've heard them called Crestline Victorias. My

Re: First 24x36 digital


Same as mine but a decade newer. A delightful lens. 
Come to think of it, I received this lens in the original box with the hood and 
caps, so I didn't pay extra for the hood ... although I did pay a little extra 
for the original box, etc. 
I'll make sure to not lose the lens hood..!

Lovely little lens. The hood is a 12504; not difficult to find, but absurdly 
pricey. The guy in the shop said that you can get perfect copies on ebay, so 
I'll take a look sometime and put the original in a bank vault to pay for my

Re: First 24x36 digital


Bob's is the "full featured" version of the typ 262. Mine is the stripped down 
model ... no LCD, no menus, no settings other than date, time, and the usual focus and 
exposure settings. 

It costs a little more but it's worth it. ;-)

Ah, the "less is more" Leica.

Apart from the first, and the 'Discover Greenwich' one where I slightly

On one or two of them you can see some vignetting. This is because they were
shot on my 35/1.4 lens, whose hood is so battered it intrudes. I need to buy
a new one. Other lenses: 50/2; 90/2.8.

It's very nice to be shooting 24x36 again, and it is really a lovely camera
to use. Very happy with the results.

Very nice work. Some of the shadows are deep enough to pretty much lose 
detail on my display. One of the joys of the 24x36 sensor is the 
latitude of adjustment available to you. It would be interesting to 
compare sensor performance, workflow, and ISO invariance between the 
Leica and the K-1.


I can certainly see the advantage of the stripped down system and 
simpler menus. I can also see advantage of one of the menu items being 
the option of enabling all of the other menu items that have been 
stripped out. Of course, they implemented this feature with the VISA 
protocol. All you need to do is spend another $5,000 and you can have a 
stripped down menu as well as a full featured menu.

Godfrey's MD is even more stripped down than mine - it doesn't have a screen, 
therefore no menus at all, just iso, shutter speed, shutter release, aperture 
and focus. Lovely.

Re: First 24x36 digital

Some bits do cost an inordinate amount of money, while others are amazingly 
reasonable. Most extreme case I've run into was my ca 1959-1960 Hektor 135/4.5: 
the lens cost me $175 in near mint condition, but finding the correct cap and 
lens hood for it was nearly another $90. So much for a couple of little bits of 
plastic. 

Which 35/1.4 do you have? I have a 1972 version 2.. I don't recall the hood as 
being horridly difficult to find or terribly expensive. I think I got the hood 
from EBay. (BTW: I love this lens! It's the original Walter Mandler design, 
very small and light for its speed, and has the most beautiful rendering 
qualities—very adjustable with the aperture as well. I had it coded for the 
six-bit reader so the M-D recognizes it and assigns the right profile 
automatically.)

I'll look in on your new set of photos shortly.  :-)

"Modern age common culture is built upon progressive disregard of human

Boris, you've hit the nail on the head. When I started out in analytical 
chemistry half a century ago, one needed very good bench skills to get 
acceptable results. Today, analysts don't even need to know much about 
chemistry - the "machines" do all the work. The golden age of chemistry has

Igor, I am yet to hear someone tell me that my camera is nice. Which,
I am telling you, will be met with a wide smile...

However, more than once I was told that I must be professional
photographer or that my pictures look professional. This is always met
with a strong denial. However, I oftentimes use: "Oh no, it is my gear
that is so good at making pictures" lame excuse that fascinatingly

Something just hit me, provoking this line of thoughts...

Preamble:
How many times have you heard (usually from people you don't know 
closely):

"You've got nice photos, you must have a nice camera!".
I (and probably some PDMLers) have always been ... maybe "somewhat
frustrated" is the right word here.
(And I understand that they are just trying to say something nice, without
realizing how awkward it sounds.)
At some point, I had been happy to find (a few years ago) a nice joking
response to that: "Your food is delicious, you must have a great stove (or
pot, skilet...)!"

Today, I realized that many people on PDML (myself included) frequently 
show

a photo, admiringly discussing the lens (or camera) it was taken with.
Ghm... Maybe I shouldn't be frustrated about people saying what appears to
be awkward...

And then I thought that while cooking, sometimes I enjoy a very good knife
or a very nice set of skillets we bought several years ago. ... or a
convenient tea-pot for brewing tea that we've found after long search for
what we needed. Or that electric tea kettle that has been chugging along 
for
15 years. ... and several other tools and items that are made well and 
work

well.

... But, I still feel awkward about "you must have a nice camera!"

Maybe because those knives and skillets don't make me a better cook, and 
my

camera doesn't make me a better photographer. They only help me being more
effective (and efficient) in what I can do.
So, I guess that awkward feeling comes from the subconsious realization
that "you must have a nice camera!" undervalues my skills in favor of the
equipment.

Spent a lot of time in the yard with my camera yesterday. Good therapy. This 
guy was fairly distant, and this is only about 40% of frame, but it seems to 
have held up well. K-1 with DFA 150-450 and DA 1.4X converter. I find the 
vignetting is minor with this rig, so I’m shooting in full frame mode. F8,

Re: First 24x36 digital

Thanks. Glad to hear you bought the MD, and looking forward to seeing what you 
do with it. 

I'm mooching around central London today, taking snaps in more traditional 
London light, more accurately rain at the time of writing. I thought about the 
MD while chimping, and decided that it would be nice not to have the temptation 
there. 

I popped into the Leica pushers earlier to see if I could get a decent 
replacement for the 35/1.4 hood. It turns out that even in battered condition 
like mine they are very sought after, so I guess I'll get my blacksmith to beat 
it back into shape. Typical Leica.

A very touching story, Paul, and always tough to say good-bye.  She’s lucking

with you and your wife.  Kids just don’t forget that.  While true the two of

Re: First 24x36 digital

Hi Bob,

Good stuff! I'm glad you're enjoying the M262. 

I am similarly delighted with the M-D262 … There's something utterly liberating 
about going out with a camera for which there are no settings other than the 
traditional settings of focus and exposure (ISO, aperture, time). It works just 
the way my head wants a camera to work so much of the time. 

I look forward to seeing more. :-)

OK, so I was wrong, well at least out of date. My information was as of
several months ago. I've been looking for one of these myself, and I'm
now aware of at least two other options that are true USB 3.0 readers.
The front panels of all of them show pretty much the same card slots in
the same arrangements, probably the same components if not the same
complete readers. You can spend a lot more or a bit less, the only
difference seems to be that the newer readers can transfer files
directly between cards. Where as the Roswell unit I reverenced at
Amazon cannot. I suspect it's a firmware rather than hardware issue.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D31V2L8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8=1=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE

Which is the one I'm thinking of getting. I know it looks cheep but
with electronics I find that you often don't get what you pay for, you
often get a lot less.

The only internal card reader that actually supports USB 3.0 is this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DKEQL0/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8=1=A3O5UCB3BTOOSH

It's designed for a 3 1/2 inch drive bay so you'll need a 3.5 to 5.25
inch mounting kit, but those are cheep enough.

I'm on a PC, so firewire stuff probably isn't going to work for me,

Any ideas?

I'm sure you'll be missing both Gracie and your daughter terribly, Paul, one 
can only hope that Houston works for them both.  Like so many others on the
