Re: Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens
Dunno if it helps but: * range of the DA* is quite bigger * DA* is full frame as well ;) * Sigma is HSM-only (but true version, not micromotor like SDM). * I beleive the DA* is less heavy. Either lenses are, it seems, excellent if I beleive what I read about those. AFAIK the converter (1.4 or 2X from sigma are not available in HSM version for Pentax).

Re: Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens
I too have the original 70-200/2.8. Very pleased with it. However I have bought the 60-250, so the Sigma has to go. Anyone interested, contact me off-list. Jostein 2009/5/23 John Whittingham jo...@carmel.ac.uk: I have the original 70-200/2.8 non-Macro, non-HSM. I'm very happy with the image quality even with the 1.4 EX converter fitted. The build quality is very good but not dust and moisture sealed, it's a heavy well made piece of kit.

Re: Been real busy ...
Well, lemme see... Pentax is coming out with a new camera. So, the list has spent the last couple of days talking about all of the new features of the camera. So far, the 1/180 flash sync spec of the new model has become a hot topic. Those in the majority are of the opinion that Pentax should have bumped the speed to at least 1/250 or maybe even faster since the 1/2 to 1/3 stop (there was some confusion here) could be quite useful in some situations especially outdoor, heavily backlit, fill-flash applications. Those in the minority reminded the others that the LX only had a 1/75 flash sync and that camera didn't even have a 100% viewfinder, something the new camera has. Others decided to argue the actual MPH rating of shutter travel. Some talked about the relatively small size of the new camera compared with other Pentax bodies and even those of other makes. Some talked and argued over the HD video capture capability of the new camera. Will it rival the venerable Canon 5d mkII? Some were excited about things like embedded copyright/ownership metadata from the camera, a sensor that can shift for composition, faster (1/8000) 100,000 accuation rated shutter, improved autofocus, new metering system, higher ISO, and other improved dynamic range features. Some even linked video to a Russian gentleman firing the camera at 5FPS (did I mention that, yet?) and were thrilled at the better damped shutter sound. In between there were the usual flame wars, awful puns, grandstanding, capitulation, lauding, chastising, gaffuwing, LMAO'ing, MARKing. Some were terse, others verbose. Some were luddites and others so cutting edge that their posts read like dispatches from some future time. In between there were even some photographs.

What you're seeing is the interaction of the font size and the size of the box for the control label. The size of the box for the control label is generally hard-coded in Windows applications, since that's what the default GUI toolkit supports. About the only thing you can do is shrink the font; there's no user-accessible way to increase the size of the box for the label. Going to a big screen will increase the default font size, generally automagically, so that's probably what happened. -- Graydon, who has been nearby when the labels boxes had been sized for Chinese and the application got translated into Turkish -- 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: Another stupid Windows Question
I think you probably need to reset the Windows default font size. In Control Panel open the Display program. On the Appearance tab you can choose a font size. You might also want to muck around with the Screen Resolution on the Settings tab. If that doesn't work you need to find the programmer who did such a dumb thing, and break his fingers so he can never type again.

Re: Another stupid Windows Question
On some browsers, you can specify a default StyleSheet to be used in displaying sites. I've never tried it, but you may be able to use that to control font sizes without otherwise changing appearance of the pages. Since the internal Windows process is said to operate like a browser, maybe there is a style sheet someplace you can fiddle with?

Thanks Joe and Christine for noticing. You're right Joe, I wish the leaves weren't sharper than the bug. I think I'm better now thanks to digital - instant feedback and all. Butterflies with a shallow depth of field always raise focus issues. I'm posting some more in better focus now. Regards, Bob S.

As said, quite simple really. K20D and DA* 300/4 TAv set to 1/1000s and f:6,3. AF-C and autoselection. The birds flew very low against a uniform background, so I didn't have to worry much about exposure. Added a bit of extra contrast, and bosted saturation of yellow and orange to make the bird pop against the green. -- MaritimTim 2009/5/23 Graydon o...@uniserve.com: On Sat, May 23, 2009 at 09:11:08PM +0200, Tim Øsleby scripsit: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?act=attachtype=postid=302599 I had a test drive with AF-C.
