Re: Info about Katz Eye Focusing Screens
It seems, putting a DS/Katzeye scrren in a K10D (and K20D I suppose, I do not expect any change there) would cure (at least up to a certain point) the metering problems with K/M lenses and provide a situation comparable to D/DS etc bodies. It also provides microprism if so you chose but it might as well degrade the metering performance with A/F/FA/DA lenses.

Re: Info about Katz Eye Focusing Screens
I'm not entirely sure but I believe that while the LX has it's metering behind the mirror, and several other Pentax Cameras had OTF metering for TTL flash. All other Pentax cameras have metering cells in the pentaprism housing and take their reading off the focusing screen, including PTTL flash.

Pentax goes Upmarket
Pentax ran a 4C, full page ad in the Sunday New York Times Magazine. (The spilled martini K20 and 200 ad). That's one of the most expensive buys in advertising. But it's also great demos for Pentax: high income, well educated, interested in arts. Great potential for newbie advanced amateurs who haven't committed to a brand. Looks like they're using their heads and opening the pocketbook. My only quibble would be that the focus of that ad is somewhat narrow, but it's probably the only slick piece of adwork available at present.

Re: Info about Katz Eye Focusing Screens
The AF sensor apparatus is in the mirror box behind the mirror, but the metering sensors read the light coming from the focusing screen. I tested my *ist DS KatzEye screen in the K10D. At that time, there wasn't a dedicated K10D screen available yet. The K10D demonstrated an average metering calibration shift such that the exposure was off by 0.7 EV on a standard metering target (gray card) in all modes. I talked to Rebecca Katz about this. My decision was that I didn't need a screen given the K10D screen quality. Rebecca and company might well have done some revisions to the K10D specific screens since then.

Re: Info about Katz Eye Focusing Screens
If you're consistently off in the same direction, and roughly the same distance every time you manually focus, then it's more likely that the focusing screen is out of alignment with the sensor plane. A Katzeye screen won't help that. The camera needs to be sent to Pentax for adjustment.

I thought this was actually that bike but found out later he has since moved to SoCal. The 250 Mach 1 model differed from the Mark III Diana in that they had a battery and regulator to run lights. The engine was in a very similar state of tune (slightly different cam and piston). The Mark III model had flywheel/magneto electrics only ... when the engine stopped, so did the lights. The 350 Sebring was a similar engine design (more robust cases, longer stroke, similar bore) with a small port head and a softer cam. I had one of those in pretty beat up shape that I had rescued from a dank garage in SF a dozen or so years ago. I stripped it, repainted frame and bodywork, rebuilt the motor but with a high compression piston, a 250 Mark III cam and did a bit of work on the head. It was a delightful machine to ride, made a beautiful noise. I wish I had a picture of it... I had taken some but they were in one of the boxes of negatives that went missing around 2002.

Straight cut gearsets produce lower power losses but require more durable materials and better production qualities (precision grinding, heat treating, etc) to withstand the loads, that's why they're much more expensive (aside from the fact that they are made in very small quantities...).

I'm back
Although real life has been interferring with this clearly more important online community of chit-chat, it is hard to stay away after Scott wrote and told me I should at least check out the archives for recent posts since the PUG was up for April. He knew I needed a boost :) So here is my public blush - Glad you liked Jackie thanks especially to Cotty, Bob, Bob, Brian and anyone else who liked it. But, hey, I started with a stunning looking teen - makes it easy. I'm not much into portraiture, actually - but when someone I like is in front of the camera I can get into it. And I definitely liked the gallery on the whole this month - also, to my surprise - because I'm more interested in no people pictures - and or photo-journalistic stuff Hey, Jens, is Lars into older women? wish I were 40 years younger! It's a fine Chuck Close shot - I love it. Also, the Girl with a Pearl Earring like shot of Dag's is stunning - I think those are my two faves but also Pauls Rude Child - much more fun than just another pretty little kid shot. And Rebekah's simple stated glimpse of her little girl that tells me a lot about her. And Gianfrano's stuff is always compelling and much more my kinda stuff than straight portraits. Re Jackie - Sadly, an ad agency lost the best chromes I took of Jackie but it was difficult to protest as she got to an interview with them for a print ad because of someone's wife who was a friend, etc etc and the husband was in charge. The wife was the very first person who ever bought a photo from me and she saw Jackie's photos at my home. Awkward. The print is flawed that I scanned from - the smutz on the chrome in the darkroom was the reason I even have a print. (have black and white negs and the chrome outtakes ) . So I'm back -- but still it is hard to get to post much right now... but some of that is for some good stuff happening.

Re: '75 Corvette
Thanks Paul and Christine. The VetteFest was out by O'Hare airport in the Rosemont Convention Center. I'm sure many of you have stayed at or passed the Hyatt next door - 4 cyndrical towers clad in bronze glass. He and his wife had a fun time doing the restoration, and the rest of the club treats them nicely. They are at least 15 years younger than everybody else.
