Re: PESO - Red Maple

Thanks, Toine. Our tree is about 10 years old, so I was able to take this from the ground, using the 50-200 almost fully zoomed out. Alas in just two days the seeds have dried and lost a lot of their color. I may play with some cropping, though. Rick > On Apr 10, 2021, at 2:30 PM, Toine

FA35mm video review

I just published my under 4 minute review of the FA35. This was my main prime lens for years, and when shooting video of it I realized how bad it looks. That's plastic from the 90s for you! One reason to love the new metal AF Fuji lenses for example, I imagine they will look a lot better than

Re: PESO - Red Maple

Nice capture and patterns. I wanted to suggest for a second shot to get closer for a view on the propellors but most likely this taken from a height (open window) which would create a safety challenge. On Sat, 10 Apr 2021, 20:00 Rick Womer, wrote: > The red maple in front of our house was

Re: PESO Foamy water

Apologies are absolutely unnecessary, and my camera is very unlikely to remain idle! In fact, your recent pix inspired me to dust off my 50-200 and 80-320 zooms. The latter needs its focus calibrated, but I used the former for today’s PESO. Cheers, Rick > On Apr 10, 2021, at 2:20 AM, Toine

PESO - Red Maple

The red maple in front of our house was covered with blossoms last week, and with winged seeds yesterday: https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2021/April-2021/April-Flowers/i-HJ5SkcD/A (K-5, DA 50-200) Rude jeers, thoughtful commentary, and wild applause all wecomed. Rick -- %(real_name)s

Re: OT Superzooms

The P1000 has a 3000mm lens. Out of stock everywhere. Small sensors are very noisy at higher iso. It's all forgiven if I don't see CA or purple fringing. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the

Re: OT Superzooms

Didn't know "veld" was part of the English language. Apparently it migrated from NL to SA and from SA to UK. They sure are a challenge for DSLR. On Sat, 10 Apr 2021 at 10:56, Alan C wrote: > > No, not dreaming. That's how good they are now. My wife's older Fuji > only does JPEG yet mostly

Re: OT Superzooms

Unbelievable to get these results for this long reach without need to crop. Very little noise.  Most noise is of course introduced with the brightening of shadows. You may have put me on a track as I am lacking lenses longer than 300 mm. Henk Op 2021-04-10 om 10:11 schreef Toine: The P950

Re: OT Superzooms

No, not dreaming. That's how good they are now. My wife's older Fuji only does JPEG yet mostly performs just as well as my K5. IMHO the Superzooms & Mirrorless are serious challengers to the DSLR's. BTW, I'm surprised you don't say "veld" which has long been an accepted English word in SA.

Re: OT Superzooms

The P950 arrived yesterday evening. It's a very ugly contraption and feels like a plastic toy of 1 kg. Charged the battery and this morning the first test shots at the worst conditions possible (grey, drizzle, dark) which required high iso (800-1600) and slow shutter speeds (1/60 1/125) at 2000mm

Re: OT some of you already know..

Yeah. I got the Pfizer, but I got Pfizer because Pfizer was what the VA had available when I became eligible. I don't know if the hospital in Durham got Moderna AND Pfizer or just the Pfizer and I don't really care. I took what they gave me and was happy to get it. AstraZeneca hadn't been
