External power source for K10D/K20D, anyone?
Gang, I've recently dabbled into night photography with exposure times longer that 30s, using the B setting. Whenever I lock the shutter open, I start worrying about the batteries running out of juice. So I have a couple of questions that I hope someone in this enlightened forum knows the answer to: 1. How long exposures can one hope to get from a fully charged battery for either K10D or K20D (I own both)? 2. With the vertical grip attached, will the camera switch from one battery to the other during exposure if needed? 3. Has anyone made a DIY external power source for their camera, or have any web pointers?

In my experience with the K10D 3-5 exposures of around 20 min each (in camera noise reduction disabled on the K10D). The difference in range is because I use cheap 3rd party spare batteries they don't seem to last as long. I haven't tried any really long exposures with the K20D due to the fact that you can't turn off NR. 2. With the vertical grip attached, will the camera switch from one battery to the other during exposure if needed? Yes. 3.

From: AlunFoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. Has anyone made a DIY external power source for their camera, or have any web pointers? The AC adaptor, D-AC50, plus a 12V battery and inverter would cover most needs. This one needs a separate battery http://www.toolbank.com/p/POL37901 but you can buy them as one-piece units. Maybe a separate one would be better, as you could tailor the size of battery to the distance needed to carry it. - 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 to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Y-Strap or other two camera strap???
I've been looking for a better way to carry two cameras at an event. Currently, I'm just using two Tamrac straps. But that can get awkward when I have to switch cameras. I've seen mention of a device called a Y-strap and some instructions for making one, but I want to buy something. A harness style device would seem to be one answer.

RE: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???
I use a thin (1) Domke strap on each camera. Being blessed with 2 shoulders, each being more than 1 wide and approximately parallel with the ground, that's where I carry the cameras. When I want to use one of the cameras I transfer it to my neck, which lies conveniently at about the midpoint between my shoulders. It's as if somehow we were intelligently designed to carry 2 cameras. Harnesses and Y-straps sound to me like product manufacturers' overly complex solutions.

Re: Mac, PC, and portable external drive
Presuming it is a USB 2 drive ... on Windows ... -- Be sure you have the correct driver installed for it, if it needs one. -- Be sure your computer's USB port supplies enough power to run it or have an external power supply for it. Once you're sure of those two things: Mac OS X can read and write to FAT32 volumes, which are also directly accessible to Windows XP. The built-in Windows XP disk utility will not format a FAT32 volume that large but Mac OS X's Disk Utility application will. - Copy all the data off the drive to some other location. - Run Disk Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities folder) - Select the drive - Choose the Partition tab - Select the file system (ms dos, IIRC) with the popup menu - Set it for one partition - Click the erase button and confirm it. Once done the volume on that drive should be read/writeable on both Mac OS X and Windows XP, presuming the two things mentioned at the top are good.

Re: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???
Back in the day when I could lift more than one camera and anticipated needing quick switches between focal length or type of film I had them both around my neck with wide and soft straps - one camera had the strap adjusted longer than the other so the lined up nicely one above the other but not touching the camera bag strap was on my shoulder and the waistband of it around my waist for support. It was easy to go from one to the other... sometimes the lower one was tucked into the waistband of my bag. Don't know if this helps or not...

Currently, I'm just using two Tamrac straps. But that can get awkward when I have to switch cameras. I've seen mention of a device called a Y-strap and some instructions for making one, but I want to buy something. A harness style device would seem to be one answer. Does anyone know of a commercially available two-camera support rig?

I'm not talking about the padding on the strap. http://figitalrevolution.com/y-strap/ On most (all?) of the pages of that site, look on the right (you might need to scroll down) and you'll see a box titled Target Practice. If you follow that link, the page has a sample image to test your printer and its ICC profile, and brief instructions on interpreting the results. I need to clean and unclog my Epson 820, because I haven't printed for a couple of months. But I'll be interested to hear about the results anyone around here gets in trying it. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- 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: buying digital camera on-line
Sure they don't filter out the shills, but if 1 in 5 posts on a seller are negative it's a good indicator even if the shills try to overpower the real signal. John Sessoms wrote: From: P. J. Alling [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can check the sellers at epinions.com. If the price seems very low it's too good to be true. Most of them are bait and switch scamers just like they were in the old days, except now they're electronic.. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in epinions. Several locations notorious for bait and switch rate quite highly there. They don't vet the ratings to screen out the shills. -- You get further with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone. --Al Capone. -- 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.

OT: VueScan color profiles?
I have upgraded to a new computer with Core 2 Quad Extreme @ 3.33GHz and 8GB of memory running Vista Ultimate x64. Previously I have been using Silverfast but it does not work anymore for me (no support in Vista 64-bit for my scanner). Yesterday I got the VueScan Pro and have been playing with it a little and it works fine! Now to the question. I calibrate my monitor with Spyder3Elite. What monitor profile should I set in VueScan? If I use the default sRGB as VueScan monitor profile, I seem to get matching colors with the scanned image open in Photoshop and the image in prescan or scan window in Vuescan. Setting any other monitor profile and the matching of the colors fail. The scans are saved as TIF with embedding ProPhotoRGB profile and the VueScan is profiled with IT8 targets.
