I could just buy a third-party stand for the 27. third party stands are a lot less money than the display itself, and can add considerably to the value; i have used Ergotron LX stands; they adjust quite nicely, including pivoting; my only disappointment was that the obvious modular addition -- another arm to add to the 15 pole (plenty of room) that came with my first arm -- is not something Ergotron deigns to sell separately i have also used an Ergotron system that supported both my laptop and display, to align the displays; i used a USB keyboard and a wireless mouse in this configuration -- 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: Monitor advice wanted
The models I'm looking at are the U2410 (NZ$1,099) and U2711 (NZ$1,799). Ouch, the current RRPs on these here are now $A699 and $A999. I'd wait for Dell to have a special, unless you're in a hurry. Also do a search for the almost permanently available coupons, like 15% off monitors, etc. You can also use a referral cashback site, like http://www.moneybackco.com.au (in OZ anyways, there must be some equiv). Here the U2711 recently dropped for $1199 to $999, then they had $200 off special to $799, then 15% coupon and 7% moneybackco, droped it to around $630 for me. I now wish I'd bought two :) I'd be suprised if you don't see some similar price drop there. You can always call them and see what they can do for you, I've heard a few people get good discounts that way. - Peter -- 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.

I'd like one that I could rotate to portrait orientation but that's not a deal-breaker (in fact it could be more of a pain than it's worth). In addition, what's going on with calibrators these days? I plan to replace my old Spyder and I haven't been following developments in this area at all. Cheers, Dave I've just replaced a dead monitor with an NEC Multisync P221w. I find it excellent and have calibrated it quite happily with my Spyder 3. It can rotate to portrait format. It's 22 and cost me GBP 350ish. They don't do a directly comparable 24 version. There's a PA421 which seems to have the same specs but it's quite a bit more expensive at around GBP 800. I find the 22 plenty big enough for my needs.

back in the world of film (sort of) with my MX
I bought Wendy's MX and had my first try out with some Kodak BW400CN film which is processed in color negative chemistry--Process C-41. As you can see, there's a greenish tint to the image here of Darrel. I had these developed at my neighborhood Walgreens, and the prints were printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper. I think this was taken with the 50mm lens 2.0 that came with the camera. At some point I changed to the FA 50mm f1.4, but I can't remember when--it's back to writing shooting info down in a little pocket notebook. Oh, fun :-). Just spent some time looking for a lab. I found D'ore Photo Service, which is fairly close by. http://www.caguila.com/caguila/darrelfilm/content/R1_4_large.html I have to get back on the construction site for some shooting next week--that is, if I can. There's a strike on and construction has stopped. I thought I'd take the MX with me and shoot a roll along with digital. Shooting film after digital has been discombobulating in a hysterically funny way--though I have learned that I really should get the Katz Eye for my digital cameras.

Sometime in the 80's you could buy video camera systems, expensive ones,
but within reach, that could be mounted on model trains for the /real/
experience of being an engineer. Now you can record it cheaply and
experience it after the fact, I guess. The only improvement is you no
longer have to hock your house and sell your children into bondage.

Re: back in the world of film (sort of) with my MX
Interesting...I just picked up a batch of Ilford XP2s and Kodak BW400CN as well! I'll use one of them with my MX, promise! Bong On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 9:27 PM, Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net wrote: I bought Wendy's MX and had my first try out with some Kodak BW400CN film which is processed in color negative chemistry--Process C-41. As you can see, there's a greenish tint to the image here of Darrel. I had these developed at my neighborhood Walgreens, and the prints were printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper. I think this was taken with the 50mm lens 2.0 that came with the camera. At some point I changed to the FA 50mm f1.4, but I can't remember when--it's back to writing shooting info down in a little pocket notebook. Oh, fun :-). Just spent some time looking for a lab. I found D'ore Photo Service, which is fairly close by. http://www.caguila.com/caguila/darrelfilm/content/R1_4_large.html I have to get back on the construction site for some shooting next week--that is, if I can. There's a strike on and construction has stopped. I thought I'd take the MX with me and shoot a roll along with digital. Shooting film after digital has been discombobulating in a hysterically funny way--though I have learned that I really should get the Katz Eye for my digital cameras. I'm kind of chicken about installing it though. Thanks, Wendy! Very happy to have the MX.

Can't help but be suspicious and I really don't know if I could resist asking, given the opportunity. Pointless - even if he'd heard you, there's only one answer he would have given. There were a few farcical elements to the evening.

Incidentally, at 93 he is almost unrecognisably different from the jolly silly billy of the 70s. Still, he (almost) singlehandedly stopped the TSR2 programme that was acknowledged to put us at least 25 years ahead of the game at the time. Could have had Ronnie's Star Wars effect 30 year earlier.

You can also get much better results by scanning the negative and printing as BW on your 2880. To my mind, lab printing of C41 is always unsatisfactory.

What counted against him was that he was suspected of being a Nazi/German sympathizer, all else was a convenient excuse. That was Edward VIII and I don't think he was seen as a Nazi sympathizer at the time he abdicated. That came later. As I recall, what came out when the 50 year hold period on cabinet archives expired was that they knew there was a leak near the king, suspected a mistress, bugged the bedroom, and found out that the leak to the Nazis was the king. There was a discussion about how to deal with it that included utilizing the precedent of Headless Chuck; it was decided that abdication worked better. And then they stuck him in some Caribbean location through WWII, because he didn't quite take the hint. I believe that incident took place after he had abdicated. He wasn't so much pro-Nazi as he was irked at the British government for their treatment of his wife ... denying her any claim to peerage. He was His Royal Highness, The Duke of Windsor, while she was merely The Duchess of Windsor. He was a supporter of the policies of appeasement because of his experience in the first World War, but I don't think an actual Nazi sympathizer. Most of the evidence for his being pro-Nazi comes from Nazi propaganda. I don't know how reliable that would really be. They thought they could use him because of his estrangement from his family his anger at the British government for what he perceived as their mistreatment of his wife. -- 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: PESO: A baseball photo
From: Rick Womer The exposure balance of the sky, the floodlit field, and the observers is excellent. How exactly did you do it. The flash is a Vivitar 285HV set on yellow, tripped with a cheap Chinese radio slave. It auto-exposes to f/4 @ ISO 200. Ambient light (sunset) at ISO 200 was f/4 @ 1/5 sec. The lights on the field were about 1 - 2 stop above ambient. I exposed hand-held f/4 @ 1/10 sec, ISO 200. The strobe exposes the subject for the aperture used and the shutter speed drops the ambient about 1 stop. -- 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.
