Re: PESO: Orchid

Hum, interesting.  I'm no expert on orchids, and don't know how much 
variety is allowed among varieties.  But based on shapes your first 
example is closer to mine, and based on color the second is.  There's 
enough difference between all three to be three different varieties, or 
they could just be slightly different expressions of the same one.   If 
I'd actually taken notes when I took that photo it might help, but I was 
just making pictures of the pretty flowers.

Congratulations.  The K-1 is a nice piece of kit, and I look forward to 
seeing what it can do in your hands. Although, I can't help but wonder 
if you'd be able to do more with your macros using the new K-p, the 
sample photos I saw showed it giving the K-1 a run for its money in high 
ISO, and it does have a smaller pixel pitch (24 vs 18 MP in APS). For 
just about everything else, except maybe long telephoto work, I expect 
the K-1 is still a much nicer camera though.




I've been doing some more stacked macros in the past couple weeks and
the tought that I could be doing these with a much more capable camera
than my K3 just got to be over bearing...

I haven't run a marathon in years. Even though I live in Boston now,

some old film era lenses - the FA 50 f1.7, F28 f2.8, A* 200 macro, Sigma EX 
70-200 f2.8 (1st generation) and FA 20-30 f4 zoom in particular.  I'm 
hoping that the first generation SIgma lens does not have the mounting 
issue that the current version has (I found one comment on Pentax Forums 
that said it did not, but you never know). I'm not all that optimistic 
about the FA 20-35 but we'll see.


I've been doing some more stacked macros in the past couple weeks and the 
tought that I could be doing these with a much more capable camera than my 
K3 just got to be over bearing...

Re: What can Pentax do to convince Sigma to make K mount lenses again?

Excellent! All of the recent Pentax glass had been superb. This should be as 
well. Probably $1500 or more but less than what an FA 85/1.4 currently goes for.

Well, I don't think Pentax will be encouraging Sigma to release the 85/1.4
in K-mount...

Enablement

2017-02-22 Thread Malcolm Smith

In the hope this one finally gets through, I've seen few posts about the KP.

 

The project I'm trying to work on involves me going out at dusk in low light
(an ongoing urban fox project), and whilst I don't expect any of the really
high ISO images to be useful, I was surprised at how good sample photos have
appeared. Anyway, with a very good part exchange deal on a very old but
working fine K100D, I pre-ordered one a week ago.

 

I have no idea if I'm buying into something good or bad, but the deed is
done. I'm told they arrive at the end of the month.

Re: K-1 Enablement

Congratulations. I love that camera. I think Len has been using his with the A* 
200 macro. I use the K 85/1'8 now and then and the A 50/1.2. It's quite easy to 
focus manually, with the in-foxes light being quite accurate. I use the D FA 
lenses for the most part: the 24-70/2.8, the 15-30/2.8 and the 150-450/ 4-5.6. 
I also use the DA* 60-250/4 quite often. It vignettes just a bit, and I shoot

I find myself *adding* vignetting in post much more often than
correcting for it. 

It would be interesting to see a comparison between the original
M-series 40mm f/2.8 and the DA 40/2.8 on full frame. I'll bet the
coverage is just about indistinguishable.

OT -- Need to identify this font.

Well maybe need is too strong a word.  A few years ago, about 7 in fact 
I was using this True Type font to watermark my photos on the web.  Well 
looking back at my past pesos I decided I really like it.  Unfortunately 
I lost the file, somewhere in the past either due to a hard drive crash 
or an OS upgrade, and the backups are long gone.


It used to be called Sublime.  An Art Deco inspired design.  Now there 
is a font that's called sublime that comes up when you run a google 
search, but it's not the same one.


I assume since it was a free font, that the maker was required to change 
it's name since the one available now is a paid product, and looks to my 
eye just like another boring Arial derivative. Well anyway, I have a 
sample taken from one of my old PESOs.


https://pdml.updog.co/textsample/

Yes, I know the text in the sample is redundant.

If anyone recognizes it and can point me to where it can be downloaded 
I'd appreciate the help.

Nice.
I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since
around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of
various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then
put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems
like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of
what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first
girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty).


Beg to differ.  It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the
vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities.  As an example of how it improves
over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll
check to see which screens I am missing from my set.  I bet you didn't get any
financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes.



Sadly, no FA-1W finder. It's about the only one I don't have.

Re: What can Pentax do to convince Sigma to make K mount lenses again?

2017-02-22 Thread Jostein Øksne

Some years back, many people lamented the lack of a super tele for Pentax. 
Sigma had a 500/4.5 listed in their catalogue for K-mount, but not readily 
available. However, they did do a production run when enough people had voiced 
an interest. 
Nice lens. Full format and all, not that I need it to be. :-)

You're going to *love* the K-1.

Great control layout and user interface combined with stunning image
quality.

I use mine primarily with the FA 20/2.8, the 31/1.8 Ltd and the 77/1.8

I finally bit the bullet and put in an order for a K-1 today. I went 
with the 28-105 lens since the 24-70 overlaps so much with the Tamron 
28-75 that I already have. I'm looking forward to seeing how the K-1

Yep. At this point Sigma is going to be designing all its premium
lenses with electronically controlled aperture. The change for each
lens mount they support is minimal compared to designing complete
mechanically operated aperture just for one manufacturer (one with
small sales volume, at that).

Although it isn't clear from the photos I've seen so far it certainly
looks to me as if the new D-FA 50/1.4 has no diaphragm actuation
lever.

Every lens design is the result of many compromises: Small vs. large,
expensive vs. cheap, tack-sharp vs. just-sharp-enough. As sensor
resolution (and pixel peeping) increase it pushes lens designers
towards ever more demanding optical requirements and something has to
give  in this case it's size/weight. So we gain optical resolution
and lose light weight and compactness. Reducing light falloff in the
corners generally requires larger diameter lenses and in the age of
pixel-peeping people are more critical of that than ever (which is odd
because it's easier than ever to correct in post).

Re: PESO: Orchid


I think the entire internet is becoming more cumbersome.

Dropbox removed the feature that allowed display of simple HTML, 
actually they added extra code to their server to stop display of simple 
HTML,


But it's still possible if you use an APP to display HTML, but it's no 
longer quite so simple to share links to that page.  All for security, 
and control, their control.


I can see the security angle, but they didn't disable photo sharing, now 
you have to display them the way they want you to, not the way you want to.

Re: New standard lens on the horizon

2017-02-22 Thread Darren Addy

Pentax-M 50mm f1.7: 63mm x 31mm, 185 gr, manual focus
Pentax DA 50mm f1.8: 63mm x 35.5mm, 122 gr, auto focus

Clearly Pentax engineering has gone to hell in a hand basket.

Re: Pentax LX: The best professional 35mm SLR around

I'm of two minds about articles like this.  Yes, it's nice that the 
author reinforces my belief that my favorite film camera is best in 
class, especially as it's the top class.  However it means that if and 
when I decide to replace the LX I dropped not long ago, or if it's 
repairable, (the prism is probably a total loss), or the prism after the 
body is repaired, I'll have to pay a higher price than I would otherwise 
for an under appreciated gem.

Nice.
I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since
around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of
various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then
put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems
like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of
what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first
girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty).

Beg to differ. It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the
vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities. As an example of how it improves
over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll
check to see which screens I am missing from my set. I bet you didn't get any
financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes.

She was willing to have sex with me. That was, in it's own way, a
financial return.
The FA-1W might be the one that I don't have. I'll check and get back to
you after breakfast.
