RE: Published!
Forming good professional habits is all about doing stuff automatically. It's quicker and simpler to follow a single overall rule, even if it's sometimes unnecessary, than it is to rationalise individual situations. If you let yourself be sloppy when it doesn't really matter, then you are likely to get sloppy when it does matter, like when you're toting personal gear with a wide angle lens up front. And nobody who's ever turned in damaged gear believes the boss doesn't care. BTDT. More can happen than just getting you camera's innards sunburned. A lens pointing up can catch stuff falling down, like rain, dirt, gravel or bird shit. You can't always know what'll happen next, or when. A lens pointing down is almost always safer for its own sake as well as the camera's. Pointing a lens upwards except to take a picture is just plain daft. The lens isn't being held in a strong grip because it's attached to a tripod/monopod that's resting on the woman's shoulder. That's where (hopefully) the strong grip is.

Re: Pentax K20D gets cover of Pop Photo

Re: Pentax K20D gets cover of Pop Photo
The review disses the K20D for noise at ISO 3200 and 6400, and for color balance. I would guess that they shot jpegs, and the firmware version was, I believe, 0.20. Otherwise it is a nice review. I understand that the K20D has a feature allowing you to select how much noise reduction you want. Perhaps the default setting is off, and that is how the camera was tested. From what I have seen, the camera will have quite nice noise performance at ISO 1600. That's a major part of my interest in it.

The artifact was clearly visible on the downloaded .DNG, also the color balance differed from the rendering with Camera Raw at its defaults. I used Camera Raw v3.7 to save the .PEF file as a .DNG on my system. The artifact no longer appears and the color balance is identical to the PEF. I also imported all three into a Lightroom 1.3.1 library (functional equivalent of Camera Raw v4.3.1), exported another .DNG from the PEF and reimported it.

Although the Save As shows the 'save in a version set with the original' checked, it doesn't. In fact, I have to go get the files manually and import them individually!

Re: ACR 3.7 corrupted a K10D PEF?
Mark, I don't think the main problem is in the conversion. Neither RSE or Pentax Photo Browser can open the main raw image, though the Pentax program will show the Jpeg thumbnail. I think there was a glitch either in the camera when the original raw file was created or when the file was copied. ACR just seems to be of middle sensitivity, not failing when trying to load the file but getting screwed up by the bad data. Raw Therepee can open the DNG you posted but no other program I have that will convert raw files can actually read the raw data, om either the PEF or DNG even though most appear to open the embedded JPEG.

Re: ACR 3.7 corrupted a K10D PEF?
Why would you infer a camera problem given the behavior of format conversion error by Camera Raw? Do you have other files that behave the same way? Camera Raw v3.7 and Lightroom 1.0-1.2 failed for quite a while to read PEF files I created with the K10D. It seemed to happen with photos made when I was pointing the camera straight down more of the time. I thought it was a camera problem. However, PPL would read them and output an uncompressed DNG file, which was then readable by Camera Raw/DNG Converter up to v4.2 or Lightroom up to up to 1.2. I hadn't noticed that in all cases the PEF files were 16M in size. When Lightroom v1.3 appeared (Camera Raw/DNG Converter v4.3), the problem disappeared. I conclude it was a software error in the Adobe code that limited the ability to process PEF files larger than a 16M size. Nothing to do with the camera. Don't jump to conclusions. :-) Godfrey On Feb 18, 2008, at 10:31 AM, Mark Erickson wrote: H, So William Robb opened the PEF with ACR 4.3.1 with no problems.

Secondly, an MZ-5 body in excellent condition, also with little signs of use, boxed with its original accessories an instruction manual (Spanish), plus a boxed Fg battery pack, which allows the use of AA batteries, and an F wired remote release. 100 euros plus shipping expenses. If someone is interested, please send a message to my e-mail box, not the list. Thank you for your attention.

Adaptall lenses
Hi list! I would like to ask about the Tamron Adaptall lenses. If anyone has experience with them I would be interested to hear. Especially which lens to buy :D I got an Adaptall 24 f2.5 today (the newer version) and I am really satisfied with it. It has very good contrast and sharpness and it's a joy to use it. On digital it's 36mm which is a good wide angle for me. I am also thinking about the SP500 f8 mirror lens and the SP300 f5.6. Also as I wrote earlier I am hunting the SP 70-150 f2.8 Soft one for portrait. But what other adaptall lenses worth to buy? Since my dad has Nikon (luckily the 24 f2.5 arrived with Nikon adapter) it would be a good solution to buy adaptall lenses so we can share those optics (and their price too :D) Cheers, .timber -- 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.
Re: Adaptall lenses
The 90mm f2.5 Macro is probably the most legendary of all the Tamron Adaptall lenses.

It's quicker and simpler to follow a single overall rule, even if it's sometimes unnecessary, than it is to rationalise individual situations. If you let yourself be sloppy when it doesn't really matter, then you are likely to get sloppy when it does matter, like when you're toting personal gear with a wide angle lens up front. And nobody who's ever turned in damaged gear believes the boss doesn't care. BTDT. My own experience is that when it belongs to large company, I look after it - but only to a point.

I'm willing to be the first one to declare that it might be my failure to see something in it (as opposed to there not being anything there). The only thing I sorta liked is that the vertical groove between the two window panes almost look like the seam of an open book - but that alone isn't strong enough to make it work for me.
