RE: Hoya - Pentax Merger - Sad News
Actually, I have tried to take pictures with an endoscope: In the beginning of the eighties - the days of the great LX - the Pentax importer in Denmark (now known as Fovitech) lend me a Pentax endoscope. It's a tube / hose with lenses in it. I mounted on a video camera in order to shoot a film. As a part of my job I had made an architectural model of a part of at new town. We needed to show the politicians what a walk in the streets of the new town would look like. So, we needed the endoscope to get the shots from a low point of view, that would be realistic - resemble a film shot from eye level in the small (table size) model town. The movie turned out very well (although the images had a circular shape, not rectangular). Pentax wanted to help me do this, because they wanted to explore new ways of using an endocsope for other things than photographing the inside of a human stomach or whatever stuff like that. If they ever did develop this use further, I don't know. Today all this is really obsolete, since we now make virtual CAD models and computer-movies for similar purposes.

Not sure what you mean there. The one I snapped with at the store seems to do buffered writes, and be fairly quick about it too. Didn't have enough time to explore it very far, though. If you're referring to the DPReview preview of the L1, that was a pre- production camera and likely had some bugs still. Luminous Landscape preview actually, as well as the first demo I tried (although that may ahve been the same camera, Reichmann is a local and the first demo I played with was a loner from Panasonic to Henrys). If they've fixed it, I'm very glad. And no normal or wide primes. The shortest prime currently available is the 50mm f2 Macro, which is a 100 equivalent. Leica has announced a 25mm f1.4 for it, but that's it. Between that and the poor high-ISO performance, the L1 isn't the camera it could be. This was ultimately the reason I went with Pentax over the Olympus E1 .. I prefer fast primes and the Oly 4/3 system is heavily weighted to zoom lenses at present. However, as I mentioned, I would see this as a relatively limited system ... just the camera and the two zoom lenses to cover my focal length desires ... and it would not replace the Pentax K10D at all. I generally don't work with much over ISO 400 most of the time, if it does a *decent* job at ISO 800 it would be fine for a limited use system. The review of the Leica model in Amateur Photographer was quite enthusiastic, and I understand them to be a reasonably conservative lot. Gotta admit, that 7-11 (14-22mm-e) zoom is interesting, but I have the same bias towards fast primes you do. BTW: it's a thought experiment mostly anyway. The Pentax K10D is a superb camera, I have most everything I need for my kit already. I'm right on the cusp of selling off my other two Pentax DSLR bodies, the Sony R1 and KM A2 to buy a second K10D body and one more lens. They're the basis of my work. I just like some of the ergonomics and detail design that went into the PanaLeica SLR, that's all. :-) Godfrey -Adam, Who agrees on how nice the ergonomics are on the L1 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Do you have that many lenses with the same focal length? It's pretty easy for me to tell which lenses made what exposure simply by looking at the focal lengths. This is my lens kit: 14 16FE (zenitar) 21 20-35 35 35-70 50 77 100-300 135 I only extremely rarely use the 35-70 or 100-300, so the most likely confusion that might arise is if the 20-35 is at 35mm or 21mm focal length specifically. The former is far more likely than the latter ... most of my exposures with it seem to be in the vicinity of 28mm however. My A50/2.8 Macro sets no FL information at all in the photos, same as the Zeni16, but then it's fairly impossible to mix those two up as the A50 will put in aperture information where the Zeni16 will not. Godfrey Your A50 should set FL info on the K10D if you've configured SR and are running the latest firmware (I know this was added to the K100D, confused me for a bit as I usually use 55mm for 50mm lenses as I find it slightly more effective). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Geso: Grandfather's Christmas
Hi! You may recall a couple months ago I was asking about recovering images from a roll of 620 film left exposed in my grandfather's Kodak TLR camera for many years. I sent the film to Rapid Photo in Pennsylvania who say on their website that they do that sort of work. Several weeks (and several dollars) later, I have four images. Now remember, my grandfather has been dead since before I was born and I don't believe anybody's used this camera since he was around so... these images are well over thirty years old and were just sitting in the camera, waiting for somebody to save them.

Re: GESO: playing in the studio
Hi! I visited my friend Marc Williams in his studio this morning. Marc shoots a lot of ad work as well as some very artful wedding portfolios. His equipment ranges from film Leicas (MP3, M7) to an M8, Canon Mark II DS and 5D, a Hassy with a digital back, and a Mamiya RZ67 with a digital back. In other words, visiting his studio is like a trip to the toy store. Here's the Mamiya RZ67 with the Leaf 33 megapixel digital back. In case you're in the market for one of these, the back alone goes for 23,000 US: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5386311size=lg Here''s Marc shooting me. I shot him with the K10D and the DA 12-24 at 24mm. The stop was f5.6. The shutter was 1/6th of a second at ISO 640. Shake reduction works: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5386304 And here's Marc's shot of me with the MZ67. I know it was ISO 800, because he was testing an upgrade to the leaf back that eliminated a problem at high ISO. The lens was wide open. I don't know what lens it was, but I'd guess around 100mm. The camera was on a tripod, or more accurately, an elaborate support system: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5386297size=lg Pleasure to meet you (half) face to face, Paul.

He was put in charge of a design team finding a substitute for tetraethyl lead. They came up with a product called methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE). Several years ago, we got together for a rare extended family dinner, and we got to talking about motor fuels. I was involved in souping up motorcycles at the time, so gasoline additives were of some interest to me.

I just got off the phone with him and though he's still weak - and sounds it - he says he's feeling and looking better all the time (What? Looking *better*? Is that possible?!). He says there's noticeable improvement every day and his doctors say all the numbers (various cell counts and other tests) are looking very good.

Gel as in gellatin - a transparent semi-liquid that you apply to skin: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/13726.html I have a tendon strain under the shoulder bones affecting the nerves in my upper arms, so I'm on a regime of ice packs and gel at the moment. Actually my back is in good shape. I went to my chiro about 5 months ago with muscle spasms in the lumbar region. After X rays, turns out I have one desiccated disc (q.v.) and so had intensive repair regimen and doing nicely now. No sciatica, so caught it early enough. Backs are a problem in my business. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: PESO - Hertzlia Marina vs K10D
On 30/12/06, Boris Liberman, discombobulated, unleashed: Hi there. http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=16034 One more of K10D trial shots. I am surprised by the colors that came out on this shot. In reality it was much more dull and gray. I did only very minor tweaking in ACR. Brutal and honest comments are sought after. Not quite there for me Boris. I'm not keen on the empty frame at right. I want to see more reflections, more tops of masts. You got that there 21 mil they're all on about? ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

new fangled stuff
Well I went over the edge today and got a digital camera, lol It's a little HP no brainer that came with a HP Photosmart 8050 printer for $79 (printer and camera), bought a 2 gig memory card, and I'm set. The camera is an HP M625 with 6MP. I guess I'm not a luddite anymore, lol. Steve -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
