Re: older flashes with K10, Pentax's response

Every manufacturer has found it necessary to pre-flash and read to set proper exposure rather than meter on the surface during exposure. If my *istD was any indicator, the Old TTL system was not too good. I don't think there was any major conspiracy to force us to buy new flashes. You aren't suggesting that digital does something as mundane and easy as TTL flash in a worse way than film, are you? Naaah; not possible. The manufacturers wouldn't stuff all those new, expensive flash guns under our kilts, would they? - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

This is partly because of some pretty restrictive rules on inter- state commerce, and partly because the banks aren't very interested in providing the service. Not forgetting the paranoia factor.

If anyone wishes to venture a DIY focus adjustment, you have to do it before updating to 1.11. I am not advocating this procedure as it does void the warranty, but it was a fairly easy process if you followed the procedure correctly. It may have to be repeated a few times but it has been reported that it made a world of difference (which is not supposed to be, if Pentax did the initial adjustment correctly, but this seems to be an universal problem among brands).

From: John Celio What I'd like to know is, what is Olympus using for the sensor-shift mechanism? KonicaMinolta / Sony use mechanical tracks to move the sensor. Pentax uses magnets. What's another way to do it that would not infringe on other companies' patents? John Pay a license fee. I read somewhere that's what Pentax did.

Pentax 645 vs. those other guys
A couple of days ago I was about two seconds away from plunking down the cash for a 645 and three lenses - 45, 75, and 150. Then I started thinking about landscape photography and the zone system. My thoughts (the horror) led me to consider the possibility of having 5 interchangeable backs for N-2, N-1, N, N+1 and N+2. In an effort to keep the expenditure about the same, plus a little more for the extra backs, I'd be looking at a Mamiya M645-Super or a Bronica 6x6 or 645.

Every manufacturer has found it necessary to pre-flash and read to set proper exposure rather than meter on the surface during exposure. If my *istD was any indicator, the Old TTL system was not too good. I don't think there was any major conspiracy to force us to buy new flashes. You aren't suggesting that digital does something as mundane and easy as TTL flash in a worse way than film, are you? Naaah; not possible. The manufacturers wouldn't stuff all those new, expensive flash guns under our kilts, would they? Sensor reflectivity was a major issue with plain TTL and digital. Only Fuji and Pentax ever got it working with anything approaching reliability, and both dumped plain TTL quickly (Note that Fuji did so with no economic benefit, since they only sell bodies, Nikon sells the lenses and flashes for Fuji bodies). Canon and Minolta simply used their pre-existing preflash metering systems while abandoning plain TTL, Nikon screwed around with D-TTL until they got it right with i-TTL and Olympus got lucky since they were introducing a whole new system anyways and had no reason to support OM TTL flashes. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

When I get a darkroom put together that will accomodate 4x5 it may come out of it's case again. The medium format rig I'm envisioning is a compromise. In an effort to slim down my kit, I think that a 645 rig may be a decent solution. Almost small enough for a walk around camera, suitable for a studio, and almost big enough for landscapes. While we're on the subject, two of the lenses I've chosen are the 75/2.8 and 150/3.5. But an 80-160/4.5 would pretty much cover those focal lengths with a bit of reduction in speed.

Is Feisol 3371 an upgrade?
My K10D came a few days ago. I'm very happy with it, but I am expecting a pretty large sum of money this month, so I feel an enablement coming. I have been struggling to tame a 500/4,5. I have got acceptable results, but I have a feeling that there is more living in this beast. So I'm thinking about upgrading my tripod setup, a Velbon CF-630 and the Manfrotto gimbal mount. I like the Velbon a lot, but max load is 6kg. Lens gimbal and camera weights about 5kg, so I may be a bit too close to max load with a 500mm (sometimes I use a TC too). My old knees tell me I need something light weight. I haven't got a sherpa, and I often carry other stuff too. So I've been thinking about Feisol CT-3371 (and perhaps a centre column, just in case). What do you say? Is it an upgrade or am I fooling myself? I know many of you are Gitzo fans, but it is so expensive. I'm also planning to buy a new dog, some more stuff...

Re: Pentax 645 vs. those other guys
If you have access to a MF film scanner you can bracket and take the best sky, land, and foreground/background and put them together by blending channels in Photoshop. No extra backs or anything needed. Except a sturdy tripod...but you'll have that anyway. -Brendan --- Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Scott Loveless wrote: On 3/6/07, Godfrey DiGiorgi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mar 6, 2007, at 9:18 AM, William Robb wrote: A couple of days ago I was about two seconds away from plunking down the cash for a 645 and three lenses - 45, 75, and 150.

Buy a view camera. I'd have to agree with Bill on this. Carrying five interchangeable backs with my Hasselblad 500 (and there's no substantive difference in size or weight between the Hassy and the Pentax 645) would disable me from ever getting out into the landscape to do photography... I don't see how that would be any heavier than packing a view camera and 8 or 10 film holders along. Or were you implying that I'm smoking crack.. Shoot with Quickoads/Readyloads. 1 holder, 1 4x5 field camera, box of film. Notably lighter than a MF SLR and 5 backs. Shoot on Ilford XP2 Super and bracket. Saves a huge amount of time and effort, massive amount of weight to carry, and has so much more latitude that you hardly need to bracket so much. Excellent grain and acutance too. Drop them off for C41 processing, forget about all that time in the darkroom swishing film around in chemistry... I like XP2. Good stuff. But I also enjoy the darkroom very much. I'll die with Dektol in my veins, thank you very much. g You're probably right, though. All those backs are most likely more extra weight than I'd enjoy carrying for more than a mile or so. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net Need a quick answer?

Re: Locked SD Card Problem
Not Godfrey, but two things I would try, provided the little plastic write protection tab is not in the lock position: -open Disk Utility (in the Applications/Utilities folder) See what it tells you about the card and if you can format it from there -open a shell (Terminal, also in Applications/Utilities) and look what is in there. Possibly, do it as superuser. It would be something like the following, where indicates the prompt, the rest is what you'd type: cd /Volumes/NO\ NAME (NO NAME is what I think memeory cards are mounted with by default--the name might be different and I don't have my Mac here to try) su (this will make you superuser. You'll have to enter your admin password) ls -l (to see what is in the card) chmod a+rwx . (that will change the permissions of the local directory so anyone can read, write and navigate to it) rm /Volumes/NO\ NAME/* (this woud remove anything in the card--careful, there's no undelete here) Note that the space in NO NAME needs to be 'escaped' by typing a backslash before it when you are in the shell. If you are not familiar with unix, be very careful about using the rm command--make sure you are in the right directory! This should do.

Re: PESO - Winter Day's End
Thanks. I'll make this statement... not picking on you personally Marnie. :-) I shouldn't be, yet am, amazed by people that do photography. They always seem to have an idea of how it should look even though they weren't there. :-) In this case I did bring up the darker areas as well as the snow a fair amount over the original exposure. Doing more so would highlight some flare that was going on. Personally I like there being less detail in the shadows. For one, there is not much detail in shadows to begin with and secondly, I think that part of the image conveys exactly the feeling I was hoping to put forth... it's a late winter afternoon with the sun going down, it's starting to get dark, and the cold of the night is setting in. Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting. Tom C.
