Re: Halloween and the Curse of Cheap Glass
Dave, From an old lens catalogue... The A2X-S works with everything from the A16/2.8 FE to the F600/4 (but not the FA600/4). Also good for A600/5.6, P1000/8, P1000/11, most zooms and all the Macros. The A1.4X-S works with A16/2.8 FE thru F300/4.5 (but not FA300/4.5). Also most zooms and all the Macros (except the A200/4Macro). The A2X-L and A1.4X-L have long snouts and will only fit in the following lenses. A300/2.8 both fit A400/2.8 both fit A400/5.6 - A1.4X-L doesn't fit, A2X-L does A500/4.5 both fit F600/4 both fit FA600/4 both fit A600/5.6 both fit P1000/8 both fit A1200/8 both fit A200/4 macro - both fit A85/2.2 soft focus - both fit I think the beginning of the list is the key to the L converters.

Re: Halloween and the Curse of Cheap Glass
To my eyes it looks as though the bear shot is focussed on the dandelions in front of the bears; the animals themselves look a little soft (photographically, not physically!). Yes, the focus is a bit off... MF beast. Had to shoot wide-open due to hand-holding out the truck window.

Re: Dumb Computer Question
Through the magic of manipulating the addressing of sectors of the drives, RAID can indeed make can make two drives appear as one - all transparent to the operating system. This can be accomplished in multiple ways for multiple purposes. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID What you describe appears to be RAID 0. This provides double the storage and much faster performance that a single drive. This comes at the expense of reliability. FYI, striped simply means that the data for each file is split across more than one disk so that multiple sectors can be written or retrived at once (speed). Regards, Bob...

Thanks Bill, You have RAID 0, which means that half of your data is stored on one drive, and the other half is stored on the other drive. Your system will read and write from both drives simultaneously, meaning that parts of one file could be on one drive and the rest on the other. This, theoretically, speeds up read/write times. Here's my opinion: You don't need it. Should you have a drive failure, you'll pretty much lose everything on both drives. While there are performance improvements, I can't think of why a single user on a desktop machine needs them. RAID 0 is intended for high throughput environments. RAID 0 should also be mirrored, with either an identical RAID 0 setup or a single drive that's twice the size of the other two. You're much better off mirroring those drives so that if you have a failure you haven't lost anything. Add drives as needed for additional storage. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

It means all your data is spread over the two disks, in rather small lumps called 'stripes'. It MAY speed up disk-read and write a bit, at the expense of reliablilty. The array is 2 500gb drives that show as a single 1tb drive. Exactly, and so you now have twice the chance of a disk crash taking that whole 1Gb down (and very hard to recover). I single 1Gb disk would be more reliable ... Raid-0 is suited for speed freaks, that run gaming machines, without anything of real value on there :-) I'dd ask your support person to change it to Raid-1, which is a bit slower, half the effective size but a WHOLE lot more reliable. One disk can crash with any data-loss, everything is stored twice. (Raid-1 is also called mirroring).

Could some kind soul please explain in really small words and easy to understand concepts just exactly what this is? The array is 2 500gb drives that show as a single 1tb drive. Thanks It's called RAID 0 Basically it breaks the files down into two parts and writes half of it to each drive, alternating between the drives ... with a text file it might write out something like: Line 1 = Drive 1 stripe 1 Line 2 = Drive 2 stripe 1 Line 3 = Drive 1 stripe 2 Line 4 = Drive 2 stripe 2 Line 5 = Drive 1 stripe 3 Line 6 = Drive 2 stripe 3 So that if either disk crashes, you've essentially lost all the data from both disks. E.G. if disk 2 crashes, you're left with Line 1 = Drive 1 stripe 1 no data Line 3 = Drive 1 stripe 2 no data Line 5 = Drive 1 stripe 3 no data If you lose part of a file on one disk, the rest of the file on the other disk is un-recoverable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID If you're worried about losing data, you want RAID 1 or if you can afford it RAID 5 (or RAID 6 or a nested set RAID 1+0) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Thanks Bill, You have RAID 0, which means that half of your data is stored on one drive, and the other half is stored on the other drive. Your system will read and write from both drives simultaneously, meaning that parts of one file could be on one drive and the rest on the other. This, theoretically, speeds up read/write times. Here's my opinion: You don't need it. Should you have a drive failure, you'll pretty much lose everything on both drives. While there are performance improvements, I can't think of why a single user on a desktop machine needs them. RAID 0 is intended for high throughput environments. RAID 0 should also be mirrored, with either an identical RAID 0 setup or a single drive that's twice the size of the other two. You're much better off mirroring those drives so that if you have a failure you haven't lost anything. Add drives as needed for additional storage. My system that had a hard drive failure while I was overseas, was configured as RAID 0. I currently have a RAID 0/1 matrix (RAID 0 partition for OS, RAID 1 partition for data) The performance improvements of RAID 0 over RAID 1, are noticabe IMO when working on large Photoshop files. It's good for a PS or video editing workstation, but I wouldn't rely on RAID 0 for file storage.

PESO - Yosemite Reflection #1
I took a lot of these, because of the reflection. I may show a different take on it later sometime. Sun was literally pouring over the rocks, and lots of the reflection was in shadow. Not deep, deep shadow, but shadow. So I've lightened shadows and done a few other things, and think I've done about all to it that I can. I showed something similar before, but it was taken at a different time and looked a different direction. I kept running to difficult exposure situations in Yosemite (Oct., 2006). Lots of light colored rock and lots of shadows with dark trees. And I never quite knew what to do in those situations, so now I am taking a class on exposure and hopefully I will learn how to handle them better in the future. I don't think it looks too bad, although it could be better... http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/reflection1.htm Comments welcome.

PESO: B-17 at Orlando Executive

Wow! That's stunning. i'm surprised you didn't show it earlier. Burn in the peaks in the top half, and it's a first class shot. Good work.

GESO - Mid-autumn in mid-America
A few shots selected from a couple of different recent outings. 1. I am using Zenfolio, first brought to my attention by Amita. 2. The shots were mostly with the DA*50-135. Several used the AF/1.7 extender on that lens. The moon shot was with the FA* 300/4.0 with A-2xS Pentax extender and a Tamron 2x extender. The best of a series - all had the highlights totally blown out. I'll try again next month...
