Re: Enablement K1 +

Heh, funny how it goes. My K20D/K100D experience is almost the exact opposite to yours. The K100D sensor is so bad at low light I almost swooned when I used the K20D in the same venues. I put the K100D away and never shot with it again. The K20D was just so refined and a huge upgrade in every single way from the K100D Super. I found there was no comparison at all between the K20D's sensor and the K100D. I gave my K100D to an impoverished model whose mother had some Pentax lenses, so it's getting some use at least. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

A day with the Coyle's
AKA "A sheila and two Johns". John Francis and I had a fun day hanging out with the Coyle's. On our way North from SSF, we stopped by the wave organ in the Marina in SF, made an attempt at Muir woods, but it was so crowded we punted on that. At lunch in Stinson Beach we got a show that put Benihana to shame, somewhere around Pt Reyes, we headed East to 101 in the hopes we'd find redwoods for Jan driving over the ridge. John C was feeling a bit off, so just finished the day as a two marina, three bridge tour, with a stop at the Berkeley marina to see SF from the East Bay, then up University, to Telegraph and Ashby to give them a quick view of the People's Republic of Berkeley. (The difference between Berkeley and Moscow? There are still communists in Berkeley). Here's a bit fluff from the day.

Not a PESO -- Gillette's Castle
Some people commented that my PESO of Gillette's Castle was should have been taken at a different angle, which I did but I intended it for the PUG, and didn't want to post it as a PESO first. There were a couple of things that annoyed me about that image after the PUG was published, so I decided to correct the one that bugged me the most and re-post it as a sort of PESO. So here it is again. https://pdml.updog.co/webster26/PUGish/gillettescastle.html The usual disclaimers apply.

Re: Enablement K1 +
I wrote a long post on the sufficiency of the K-5/5II/5IIs as a camera, but it was really nothing that hasn't been said before, so I put it aside maybe I'll start a blog and call it not good enough for the PDML. Short take, having come to the K5II from the K20D, I must say I really appreciate my "stone knives and bearskins". Anyone still shooting a K-7 or K20D should really upgrade to at least a K-5 for the image quality alone, everything else is just gravy.

Dan, Enjoy the Santa Fe railroad shots. Since the merger with the Burlington Northern, they run big trains in my neighborhood... 3, sometimes 4, 3 axel supercharged deisel electric locos.
