K10D and older lenses
If I get a K10D, I'll buy some lenses with it. However, I'd also want use manual focus K-mount lenses. There are a lot of these available, everything from various brands of used ones through new Russian ones http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/pentax_cameras_lenses.htm to various Cosina/Voigtlander products http://www.cameraquest.com/Voigt_SL2.htm For those lenses, does a K10D give full aperature metering? Is it any better for those lenses than other cameras I might consider -- Oly e510 for in-body anti-shake in a smaller package or a 5D for those big pixels -- with an adapter? What about for screw mount Pentax lenses? My guess is none of the adapters give full aperature metering for those. -- Sandy Harris, Nanjing, China -- 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.

So, I've got this friend of a friend who is involved with a chambre orchestra. They're having a concert this weekend. He looks at some of my stuff, says he likes it (he likes blurry?). He asks if I do event photography and head shots (he's also an actor). Of course I say yes! He wants headshot later in the winter. No problems! He wants to know if I can shoot the orchestra during a rehearsal this weekend. He wants to know what my rates are. The headshots I can can figure out. What about the shoot for the orchestra? He wants them for publicity purposes. I'm thinking a flat fee for the shoot (a hundred or two?), plus charging for photos that he wants? Or just charge for the photos? Or just the flat fee with an agreed upon number of photos that I'll give him after he looks at a portfolio of the shoot? What should the total be (however I structure it)? I'm thinking I'm shooting the rehearsal for an hour or two, I should make at least $100 or more, plus have my materials (for prints) covered. Any thoughts/advice/warnings?

Re: K10D and older lenses
Depends. If they are A capable lenses then yes. The new Voightlander lenses are Ka mount and work fine, well at least as fine as any other Ka mount lens. I've discovered that the Vivitar S1 70-210mm ver. 3 has a less than linear response to camera controlled aperture settings, in spite of having a Ka interface. I expect that there may be many more lenses with that problem. Some of the Russian lenses are actually presets, (pretty much T mount lenses). I expect that even Russian lenses that have aperture simulators and automatic apertures will only support as much of the K mount specification as is needed by the various Russian K mount cameras, none of which have Ka lens mounts to my knowledge. You may be disappointed with the Olympus, It's a nice camera but still has a fairly tunnel like viewfinder IMHO. The Canon is supposed to be very nice, I've never seen one. However it is still at least three times as expensive as the K10D. Sandy Harris wrote: If I get a K10D, I'll buy some lenses with it. However, I'd also want use manual focus K-mount lenses.

Re: K10D and older lenses
a more complete answer: On Dec 11, 2007, at 2:32 AM, Sandy Harris wrote: If I get a K10D, I'll buy some lenses with it. However, I'd also want use manual focus K-mount lenses. For those lenses, does a K10D give full aperture metering? Full aperture metering is enabled for all KA-mount and later series lenses, that is, those with an A position on the aperture ring. (Pentax lens series Pentax-A, Pentax-F, Pentax-FA, as well as the current Pentax-DA and Pentax-D-FA models.) Older, plain K-mount lenses are supported with semi-automated stop- down metering in Manual exposure mode. Pentax in-body IS supports using older lenses by users inputting the focal length manually. Is it any better for those lenses than other cameras I might consider -- Oly e510 for in-body anti-shake in a smaller package or a 5D for those big pixels -- with an adapter? Pentax mount lenses adapted to 4/3 System or EOS mount must be operated with manual iris, stopped down manually for metering and exposure. Olympus' in-body IS only supports native 4/3 System lenses, there is no way to input a focal length manually which is needed to operate the stabilization system. Adapted lenses work just as they do for Canon EOS: manual iris, stopped down manually for metering and exposure. What about for screw mount Pentax lenses? My guess is none of the adapters give full aperature metering for those. Pentax screw mount lenses can be adapted to all of the above and work the same way as adapted lenses on Canon and Olympus: manually stopped down for metering and exposure.

Re: OT - Almost Like a Gig - What to Charge?
This is always tricky, and i have yet to come up with a definate version for myself. Although i do advertise on my site i will do onsite location shoots, only the farm we board at has asked and i usually give a decent rate for any of our boarders on prints etc. I always felt an hourly charge would suite best. I feel $40.00-$50.00 an hour would suffice, for me, to come a do a shoot. For that i would supply a high res CD for an additional fee, or a low res one for proofs. I would charge like Paul suggested, which is lees than my normal, but i am getting an hourly rate. For a two hour shoot, plus a CD i think $200-$250.??

Thanks! cheers, frank === Well, you have to base your estimate on what you think he will pay. He's probably expecting to get a deal. I'd charge an hourly rate ($40-$60) an hour and include a CD of high res images in the price (unprocessed). For processed images on cd (BW conversion, cropping, etc.) there is an additional charge.. Prints extra, but not a lot extra, more in the cents, under a dollar range. If they have never used a professional photographer they probably expect prints to cost what they do when labs produce them. Pretty much at cost, maybe a few cents more. But, then I tend to undercharge (I mean in general, I have never charged for photography). You might even go to $75 per hour.

Re: Wide dynamic range in Andes mountains/Argentina (questions and PESO)
I hear you, Igor. Yes, indeed, since I got my *istD I shot no more than 10 films (in almost 3 years)... And indeed with digital some kind of HDR solution would be necessary. Well, I think I'd rather play with gray gradient filters 'cause I am very reluctant to do any serious post-processing. Your mileage probably *should* be different than mine. Boris Igor Roshchin wrote: Boris, Yes, that's indeed an option. Although, I should admit, I haven't used the film camera since I got DS. It would not be a convenient option to have two bodies during a vacation trip where we tried to fly without checking in any luggage (except for the return trip, where we had to check in one bag because we had wine, and liquids are forbidden in the carry-on when flying to the US). Coincidentally, during this trip to Argentina we discussed that it was nice not to worry about having the film for a hand check while going through airport security. I started playing with various layers today, as P.J.A. suggested. It's coming out rather funny. (well, I am making it that way.) If I have enough time and energy, I will finish it at some point.

Re: PESO - Bowlers
On 11/12/07, Boris Liberman, discombobulated, unleashed: So, Cotty, sir, you've now joined Godders here in the Panny world... Yes but not sure for how long. It's a fabulous little (!) camera but I have two issues with it - the viewfinder and frame rate. It is painfully slow to me, although this really shouldn't matter as I wanted a camera that wasn't fast - eg I wanted to concentrate on the so-called decisive moment, rather than ratatatatatat my pics. I can do that at 8fps with my big Canon (as the bishop said to the actress). But the viewfinder is really not up to manual focussing. For what it is, it's a superb piece of kit and as it only cost me a couple of hundred quid at the end of the day, I'll probably hang onto it. The flash is a miracle of design, and ergonomically it's great to use. But I probably want it to be something else - something that it isn't.

Whilst pondering the thought that, today, I have spent the last 30 years of my life in the same job I had a thought. Not of suicide but a constructive one. How about making one of those self-published books (as Anne and others have done) of PDML quotes, illustrated with listers' photographs. Not portraits of listers but photographs they deem worthy of publication. Could be portraits, I suppose. Maybe shots pertaining to certain quotes. Any profits accrued to go to Doug for list hosting.

Re: OT - Almost Like a Gig - What to Charge?

If they buy $100 worth of prints, I would give them a high res CD of all the images. If they're an amateur group or a school group, I would charge them $100 for the shoot, about half as much as indicated above for prints, and I would give them the files regardless of how many prints they buy. Paul I like your answer, Paul. Succinct, to the point, and lots of figures! ;-) Anyway, since it's a not-for-profit community-based thing, I proposed $100 for the shoot and your print prices, and they seem to think that's very reasonable. This is like my first professional gig - luckily, the *istD is black! I've sold prints before, but never been hired for a shoot. This will be going into my resume!

Wow. I need a cigarette after reading that. Nice photo, Frank. I like it. Polyhead wrote: wow, what a nice guy, smoking right there in the door so the wrest of us can breathe his wonderfull smoke. God how I smokers, inconsiderate asses each and every one of them. No better than street drinkers. I've always wondered why smoking should be remain legal in public while drinking is not. Atleast, for the most part anyway, street drinkers are dousing their booze all over you. Maybe it's because I'm a reformed smoker, but the ritual of smoking fascinates me. Maybe because it's so irrational: http://tinyurl.com/244pzx http://bp2.blogger.com/_EaTEtfR4WJw/RzhRgETQoII/A9E/DEFbPhI4LMY/s1600-h/nov_12+001.jpg Comments always welcome. -- Scott (coffee and nicotine are food groups) 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.
