Excellent work Dario - some brilliant shots there, you've captured the atmosphere quite well I would assume.

Re: Asking for some developing hints in Germany.
Pancho, I do not see what is amusing. This is not different than someone from the USA saying, 'I will be working in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the next year. What places would you recommend to get my slides and b&w developed?'. You can always try all the places to find one that is consistent and good, but if you can ask and tap into the knowledge of people who have gone before you why not take advantage of it? Ask Wheatfield Willie and Bill Owens, are all Wal-Mart and Ritz Camera or whatever chain photo stores the same? It all depends on the operators and the management. There is no implying that there is a deficiency or difference in basic processes, but a placing of someone outside of their normal environment. Case in point, I travel quite a bit. I shoot a lot of slide film. Why do wait until I get home to get them developed? I trust my local photo store. I know I can count on them, why roll the dice and take a chance on someplace you are not familiar with?

RE: DA 50-200/4-5.6 examples
Boris, I'll have to do a side by side comparison of the three but my opinion at this point is it's very similar in image quality to the A70-210/4. I'm one of the strange ones who doesn't care all that much for the F70-210/4-5.6, plenty sharp but I think the bokeh is quite harsh. (One mans opinion) The 50-200 is lighter than both, and smaller than the A. The stationary front element and "Quick Shift Focus" clutch are big pluses for me too. At $250.00 I feel it is money well spent.

It costs no more to mail a letter halfway around the world than it does to mail it across town. Film mailers from B&H, or wherever, can be convenient for a soldier who doesn't yet know her way around.

Re: street shooting lens
The 77mm on an ist-D is a very nice combo. With respect to the K 85/1.8, I sold mine to help pay for the Limiteds. In retrospect, if I had to choose between the 85/1.8 and the 77mm, I wouldn't choose. I would beg/borrow/find some funds to be able to have both. If I really really had to choose, I would go with the 77mm. Stan I don't really feel like springing for the FA 85mm (and it's backordered anyway). Can anyone suggest an alternative lens or focal length or whatever? I'd love to hear what works for different people. A*85mm f/1.4 of course! An excellent choice - it's sharp and versatile - it's only real drawback is that it's a bit on the large size (but compared to the FA* 85/1.4, it's not). An elegant and effective alternative would be the K 85/1.8.

I was aware of that distraction before I submitted this image into the competition, but I thought the look I captured out weighed that flaw. I also would have preferred a better placement of the Cougar in the frame.

RE: TCs on digital
Actually I just tried it and it focused quite well. It seems that f/2.8 is what the accepted minimum is for the 1.7x and yet Pentax has the A35-105/3.5 on their "approved" list for the 1.7x. I've found that f/4.0 lenses work fine as long as their contrast is good and the lighting is adequate. You're right about the tripod though, that's 510mm on film and 765mm (equiv) on the D! I did manage a few acceptable shots at f/4 but the sharpness is pretty poor.

But, I will say that all those many 60's Japanese rangefinders seem to be great little cameras. Generally well made, pretty good, fastish lenses, they take pretty good pix on the whole.

BTW, if your auxilliary lenses are anything like the ones I have for my Yashica Electro 35, they're useless, except to say you've got "the complete set". Big, heavy, and they about double (or more) the speed of the lens - or would that be halve the speed? - you know what I mean. They're not at all sharp, to boot.

RE: DA 50-200/4-5.6 in Europe
Nothing rotates but the zoom and focus rings, all internal. ;-) It feels and acts just like a (smaller) 16-45. The hood even has the same little access door for rotating a CPL.

OT - New toy: Petri 1.9 Color Corrected Super rangefinder
My latest ebay purchase is a Petri 1.9 Color Corrected Super rangefinder, complete with wideangle and telephoto auxillary lenses, and matching viewfinder. A nice fast Orikkor 45mm F1.9 lens on it, and shutter up to 1/500 sec. First impressions are that it is quality camera. In weight and size it is very close to my SP1000, but like my S1A the door opening mechanism is on the body, rather than on the rewind handle. A solid early 60's Japanese camera. Everything appears to be working as it should. The body is in excellent shape with almost no marks. Judging by the state of the camera bottom I would guess it rarely came out of its case. I'll run a roll through it tomorrow and see what happens. Anyone have an idea what this might be worth ? I'm too embarassed to reveal how little I paid .

Speaking of the GFM Nature Photography Weekend
My SMCP-FA Crystal Ball was delivered this afternoon and I now have some predictions for the 2006 Nature Photography Weekend: 1. It will sell out quickly. Prospective attendees are advised to register on January 1, 2006. 2. Speakers will be: Charles Braswell Jr. Adam Jones David Huffines Benjamin Walls Mark Roberts Bill Fortney (tentative) John Chastain (tentative) 3. Camping will be for registrants and registered guests only. Those who attend on day passes will not be permitted to camp. I predict that this rule will be enforced much more than it has in the past. 4. Whining will be frowned upon. Tom (the Oracle) Reese

Re: First real weekend shooting DS
Hoya filters are noted for having such problems. Personally, I've seen three such problems with Hoya filters due to the retaining ring not being properly seated or coming lose. Granted, it's not a common occurrence, but it happens. My experience mirrors this. I'm not buying any more Hoyas. Same reason I buy B+W and Heliopan filters. It's a relatively rare occurrence but a pain when you get a defective. Godfrey

Presumably you're going to use it with a D or DS body... it should work fine, reports from other users who have bought it seem to be very enthusiastic. Using it with other bodies compatible with a lens sans aperture ring, well, I don't know whether it is capable of full coverage on 24x36. I have the F100-300/4.5-5.6 which I purchased for US$85 or so. It's not got the best reputation and proves to be somewhat soft wide open, but stopped down 2-3 stops it is satisfactory and well worth the price I paid. I posted a few pictures taken straight from the camera that I shot testing this lens with the DS' Sports program preset. (On the DS, the Sports program preset is the only mode that supports C-AF operation but does not allow you to set other than its choice of shutter speed and aperture, which is a bit limiting. I'd have preferred a slower shutter speed, smaller aperture and panning, but for a test it was interesting.) http://homepage.mac.com/godders/PhotoAlbum50.html And here's a shot with the 100-300 plus 2x-S teleconverter: http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW5/21s.htm A unsharpened detail at full original resolution from this scene can be found at: http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW5/large/21O4-det.jpg The fellow I sold my DA16-45/4 to loaned me the F80-320 lens last evening, I'm going to do a comparison study between it, the 100-300 and the A70-210, hopefully this weekend.
