I really enjoyed your GESO, Ann. My fav. is thee monochrome with the trees. I looked up Redhook (Roodehoek) - very interesting. Sorry the grub wasn't up to scratch. Alan C -Original Message- From: ann sanfedele Sent: Friday, January 13, 2017 2:36 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List

GESO - Six from my nautical adveture

The water taxi ride of 20 minutes across the east river to Red Hook Brooklyn from lower Manhattan was a splendid adventure..the water was not calmbutnot too turbulent - the small ferry was comfy... I had hoped for a better sky on the return trip from Brooklyn.. maybe I'll do the tripagain

Re: OT grid help

They are not the same aspect ratio so if you scaled the picture up it would be distorted. You will have to leave a border, or crop the original if you don't want the distortion. It's easier to think about it in mm. 121x178, which is a 6:9 ratio near as dammit, and 203x254. So I would either:

I just checked. One can indeed use Av as you say with adapted M42 lenses, or as in my case, adapted 645 lenses. When set to Tv mode, the K-3ii simply ignores the setting and act as if the camera is set to Av. Same with TAv mode. J. Den 12.01.2017 16.42, skrev P. J. Alling: No it's shutter

Re: The macro lens came (Venus 60mm 2.8)

No it's shutter priority where the camera needs information from the lens. The only information the camera needs in aperture priority is how much light is coming through the lens. I use Av with my mirror telephoto lenses a fair amount of the time. It gets the exposure pretty close...

Its more difficult to get good focus when the lens is stopped down to say 8, 11, 22 Its quite dim. I'm not sure it would work properly in AV move, though I will give it a try and report back. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 10:34 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: > If the lens
