PESO - from the water taxi

today... Went to IKEA via the dedicated water taxi from Pier 11 at Wall street to Red Hook BRooklyn. I thought I'd like to have some Swedish Meatballs - big mistake, they were simply awful.. and I really don'tcare much for IKEA as a store , either... not my thing, Home Depot more fun for

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

One thing that would be nice in those all-manual lenses is a fast option for stopping down to a predetermined f-stop. Some kind of button to press, when your composition and focus is adjusted. The bellows-A has such a button built into the shutter cable connector. Its implementation pulls the

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

If the lens stops down as you turn the aperture ring, basically like a preset mechanism, why not set the camera mode to Av. Then one dial will work to change shutter speed and the other to either adjust ISO or exposure compensation. I'd use comp, could make a case for either. Using manual

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. There's no way K-14 is coming back. The best you can hope for is some kodachrome flavored e-6 film. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 8:29 AM, Collin B wrote: > https://petapixel.com/2017/01/09/kodak-investigating-take-bring-back-kodachr >

Re: K-1 Autofocus

Yeah, sometimes I take pics of birds in motion like hummingbirds near the feeder. Miss focus a lot. The video review of the Nikon D500 show it hitting the focus spot on repeatedly on really fast birds in flight like Kestrels. Pretty impressive. Probably too much to ask of the K-1, but it would

The macro lens came (Venus 60mm 2.8)

Well the Venus (Laowa) 60mm 2.8 macro lens (2:1) came. I'm very impressed with the packaging. It comes with a nice protective pouch, but the very nice thing was that it came in a vacuum packed wrapper around the lens, assuring that no dust would get in at any time. It also came with a clear

PESO - Coins

A display of old coins in the gorgeous Golbenkian Museum in Lisbon. Unfortunately I cannot recall what sort of coins they are. It was their appearance against the background that attracted me. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18330915 (K-5, DA 16-45). Comments appreciated. Rick --

PESO -- Winter Tree

Going through some old files and came across this. Taken with the *ist-Ds and F 70-210mm f4~5.6, at least that's what I think I used, though it could be the K20D and Vivitar S1 70-210mm f2.8~4.0. I'd have to go back and look at the original file and I'm just too lazy at the moment.

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

There is no aperture linking at all. If you stop it down, the view gets dim and you need to press the green button to meter. So essentially you focus at 2.8, stop down to the aperture you want, meter with the green button, and snap the pic. Its a pain, but if your subject is static, not much
