Re: OT: Cycle couriers
It's true that drivers in NY are aware of the environmnet, but they follow no rules. I remember when I used to drive to work in midtown. To get into 53rd Street from Third Avenue I had to turn left from about the third lane over, cutting across two lanes of traffic. That was the only way I could avoid waiting in a long line of other cars that wanted to turn left. Cabbies do it all the time.

RE: Another question about the istDS- changing screens?
I've done exactly what you are proposing to my -DS. The actual swapping of screens is very easy... just a tiny little hinged frame around the screen with a snap-type clip on the top. Open the door, remove old, insert new, close door. As far as cutting down a screen, it's rather tedious. I bought one from a local camera repair shop for $5 out of an old Minolta. I wanted a diagonal split-prism like my P30T had, but apparently almost nobody ever used them. Seems like a no-brainer since both vertical AND horizontal lines are useful then... but I digress... Anyway, I used a calipers to measure the stock -DS screen's dimensions and the sacrificial screen's. Split the two dimensions, scratch a line onto the new one, and get to sanding/filing. I was very careful to only ever hold the screen by the edge. Caveats: - Easy to file the screen slightly off-center. I did. Oops. - Different focus screen may cause metering problems due to different transmission, but largely irrelevant due to... - Stop-down metering with pre-A lenses blacks out the center prism with apertures smaller than f/5.6-f/8. That screws the spot metering completely and messes the center-weighted appreciably. Only way I've found with the older lenses is to use the stop-down metering hack, but then double-check the histogram after the shot. - Well-known blackout with sufficiently slow lenses. Otherwise, it's great for lenses f/4 and faster... f/2.8 or faster is REALLY nice. -Cory On Wed, 31 Jan 2007, J. C. O'Connell wrote: Cool!

RE: OT - Wedding photography advice solicitation
I agree with William regarding the equipment. I used a 35mm Pentax and a 90mm Tamron macro prime on two film bodies for my first two paid photo jobs. One was a demonstration and the second one a party. I had a fast 50mm and the 24mm Pentax in the bag too but used them only inside a church with very low lightning. Primes change the way I/you shoot and wide ones force you to get even closer and in contact with people which can be seen in the photos. I would not use a zoom for a party event but take a simple 35/85-100mm combination for a small package. greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 5:10 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT - Wedding photography advice solicitation - Original Message - From: Scott Loveless Subject: Re: OT - Wedding photography advice solicitation I really appreciate all of the advice I've received, and I certainly didn't mean to start an argument. Discussion, even with disagreements, is good, though. My initial intention was to shoot the wedding with the K100D, the kit lens, and a telephoto zoom. Not ideal, I know, but I'm not professing any ability at this kind of thing. I'm also not going to invest in new lenses to shoot a wedding for free. That will have to wait until I decide if this is a field I want to try to make some money in. In addition to the digital rig, I had planned to bring along the MX with a couple of primes and some Neopan 1600 for a little contrast to the color images. And one other film body, just in case I have problems with the digital rig. Most of my shooting these days involves chasing two little girls around, and I'm in a fast action mode. The zoom lenses tend to be ideal for this. On the other hand, I've always preferred shooting with primes, but I'm not good enough for the primes to offer any sharpness advantage when shooting without a tripod. I'm not fast enough to keep up with the kids, either. So I rarely use a prime lens anymore. I read a magazine article a while back about the wedding photographer's lens kit. It was an older article from the 70s or 80s, which discussed Nikon's recommendations. The lenses were a 35, 50, and an 85 or 105 (I think). Imagine showing up to a wedding these days with a couple of old manual cameras and a few primes! It seems like most photogs I read about are carrying the latest and greatest digital rigs with IS lenses, a laptop, at least one assistant, a myriad of lights, and if they have a film camera at all it's an F5 or a Leica. Who the hell can afford to do weddings like this? On the contrary, most of the wedding photographers I actually see are either shooting with medium format or a Fuji digital body, and working their butts off because their assistant didn't show up or they didn't have one in the first place. I have a little time to prepare, and I may just decide to suck up the expense and shoot the whole thing on film. Thanks again, and keep it coming! Don't worry about me and Paul arguing, we're just a couple of old bears mooing at each other from our mountaintops. If you are comfortable with zooms, by all means use them, but consider that you are giving up valuable fill light due to their slow speed compared to a prime, and if the zoom is variable aperture, your fill exposures may also vary as you zoom. The photographers you read about are the ones with enough time on their hands to write about themselves. The majority are too busy trying to put groceries in the fridge to be bothered. At this point, I don't think I'd bother with 35mm film, except as a last resort back-up. OTOH, if you can shoot the bridal and group portraits on medium format, you will notice a difference in quality, especially the larger groups, where there may not be enough pixels to resolve facial details sufficiently off the 6mp sensor. Ask Cesár to loan you his 6x7 and tell him I said you could borrow a few lenses. Later in my wedding career, I settled on 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm, with the 24 seeing almost no use, except for inside the limo and sometimes for overviews of the church if it was a nice one. I noted that I seemed to be missing shots that I would have gotten prior to trying to use more lenses becuase I had the wrong lens on the camera at the wrong time. If you only have the one focal length, and are familiar with it, you tend to think in terms of what that lens can do for you, and adjust the way you do things accordingly. With a fast prime, you can do things you just can't do with a zoom. My problem with zooms was (still is) slow maximum apertures which made focusing difficult in dimly lit churches, killed the fill light, and had wonky barrel distortions that made the architecture look funny. The barrel distortion thing shouldn't be a problem now, I suspect they have those things ironed out, but zooms are still slower lenses than

Regards the SDHC cards, it depends on the card speed mostly. The fastest available as yet that I know of are the Sandisk Ultra II class cards (60x) although there are high speed Panasonic SDHC cards available as well and I don't know what their speed rating is.

Re: I gotta brag
I can understand the confusion with some one who doesn't own one. But from an owner I had a really sweet Malamute Bear - about 125 to 135 lbs - when we were out for a walk alot of people would ask if he was a husky. Very few got it right. BTW he was the nicest animal with young kids. Liked to play with them, rolling babies on the floor just being friendly with them. Most people never got that far with him as they were put off by his size, but he always was a real puppy dog. He never showed aggressive tendencies unless someone showed aggression towards me. Lived for 13 years. I miss him but not the work it took to take of him.

Re: *ist-Ds Vs. K10D image quality?
I have found the K10D offers considerable advantages compared to my D. For one, I shoot a lot of indoor available light photography. The two extra stops that SR give me are very valuable for this type of work, ditto for shooting birds with a handheld 400. The higher resolution has also proved to be a boon, particularly when cropping. I can make a vertical out of a horizontal without sacrificing a lot. I feel my 11 x 17 prints show more detail as wel, although I haven't done a direct comparison. The Tav shooting mode is great. Moving from shade to sun no longer requires fumbling with the ISO. Or moving from one room to another when shooting indoors. Variable ISO is a huge plus.

Re: PESO: 50's Creamer
Thanks, Marne. Yesterday, after scanning, I checked the bottom edge to see if the scanner had cropped the bottom a bit, but found it hadn't. IOW, I agree. I got an off-list critique which included the suggestion that the shadow might be too strong. I considered the shadow to be a major element, and found the camera needed a higher angle to give it a form I liked. This slide has gone back into its secondary storage crypt where it is likely to spend eternity. These comments may read like a criticism of your remarks..they're NOT.

If you fit a teleconverter behind a lens, the proper setting for the shake reduction should be the combination of lens and teleconverter focal length. So, for instance, a 300mm lens plus a 2x teleconverter constitutes a 600mm lens, and that's what the SR should ideally be set to work for.

Particularly for when you are making A3 and larger prints and/or working with finely detailed scenes, the K10D gives you more data to work with in rendering the photograph.

Re: The need to manually set SR
It should have the SR focal length set to 420mm; that's the only way it knows how angular rotation of the camera affects the position of the image on the sensor. Unfortunately that's not possible with an AF lens mounted on a TC (such as the Sigma APO TCs) which passes the FA signals. This means I can't use SR if I'm using my my AF TCs :-( Pentax really need to come up with a way for the user to indicate that a TC is in use. It wouldn't be bad if they also eventually release an AF TC of their own (hopefully one that works with the new DA* lenses, while I'm dreaming ...)

I just received a Pentax 1.7x AF Adaptor today, got for a very very nice price and it's in as new condition too. I already have a Sigma 2x APO so I wondered how the K10D SR and EXIF differs between them, well here are a few quick conclussions. Penatx SMC-F 1.7X Adaptor When you mount an SMC-A lens to a Pentax-F 1.7x adaptor you are promted at switch on for the focal length, with the SMC-A50 f1.4 mounted the adjusted aperture of f2.8-40 is selectable/displayed in VF and EXIF, the EXIF also displays the focal length selected in the SR menu. MF is lit in the VF even though AF is selected, the lens does AF though. When you mount an F/FA/DA lens to a Pentax-F 1.7x after switch on you can set the desired focal length by going into the Shake Reduction menu and select whatever focal length you wish, with the DA16-45 f4 mounted the adjusted aperture of f6.7-40 is selectable/displayed in VF and EXIF, the EXIF also displays the focal length selected in the SR menu. MF is lit in the VF even though AF is selected, the lens does AF though. Sigma 2x APO When you mount an SMC-A lens to a Sigma 2x APO TC you are promted at switch on for the focal length, with the SMC-A50 f1.4 mounted an aperture of f1.4-22 is selectable/displayed in VF and EXIF. No corrections to Aperture but the focal length selected is displayed in the the EXIF. MF is lit in the VF even though AF is selected. When you mount an F/FA/DA lens to a Sigma 2x APO TC after switch on you cannot set the desired focal length, the Shake Reduction menu is greyed out, with an FA24-90 mounted the aperture range as stated on the lens is selectable/displayed in VF and EXIF, No corrections to Aperture or focal length in VF or EXIF If you switch on with only the Sigma 2x attached you are promted for a focal length but this is over ridden as soon as you attach an AF lens. --- So behavior will differ based on the teleconverter and the primary lens fitted.

Quite a few folks noticed that my prints, even at 11x17 and 13 x19, looked really great. They asked which camera I was using. Most were agahst when I told them Pentax. I did not know they made dslr's! Those prints look better than my Canon (or Nikon) does. A friend who shoots a D200 has told me several times that the print quality I get is better than any dslr prints he has seen.

Regular dSLRs are much more profitable, and Pentax seems to be on a roll right now. Plus, if what they say about the dSLR market stabilizing in a couple years is true, they could hold off with the 645D and release it when people might actually consider it or need it. Plus plus, sensor quality may go up and/or prices may come down in that time, making the 645D a better competitor. Of course, this is all just speculation and should be taken with a giant chunk of salt. Still, if I have the money when it does come out, I might consider buying it.
