Re: OT lens cleaning

If you use an eraser be extremely careful not to get any bits of the abrasive eraser material in the camera. Whatever method you use, you should of course clean the contacts on both lens and camera. Paul via phone > On Jun 20, 2017, at 8:08 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > >

You seem to say that gleefully. It's a valuable brand. Someone will probably buy it cheap if Ricoh fails. Paul via phone > On Jun 20, 2017, at 10:46 PM, Zos Xavius wrote: > > Pentax is domed! > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net >

Re: More news of trouble at Ricoh

My read on the situation is Pentax appears to be one of the few bright spots on Ricoh's balance sheet. Probably won't save Pentax if the parent company founders, but Pentax isn't the cause of their troubles. On 6/19/2017 17:51, Darren Addy wrote:

"When in panic or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout" ;-) Please ignore the alarmist Nikkei article - FTR Ricoh had to officially deny 2 such "news", the one about closing down the camera business (denied) and one about selling the leasing and semiconductor businesses (not sure it means

Re: Q7 and macro

I've tried the Q7 some more for stacks now, and noise doesn't seem to be a problem at ISO 100. That's one of the pros. Another pro is what I observed to begin with, that at the extreme end of magnification, certainly at 10X, the low vibration and high pixel density makes it possible to

Thanks, Chris! That's exactly the look and tradition I was trying to evoke. The reception was fun. Lots of good comments and feedback. I was happy that many people tuned into the less showy images - like the milkweed seedpod and the vine tendrils. Now I can finally get back to making more

Re: Eroica and drone

Point of order, Mr. Speaker! The riders are, indeed, both pre-1987, I'll grant you that. But the bikes are also both pre-1987, as are their components - including, I suspect, the brake blocks. Chris's jersey is vintage (mine are faux vintage). Chris's MX is pre-1979 I believe; my Leica M3 is
