I pick what focal length I want to use and then pull the lens up to my eye. Ok, so you use your zooms like a set of primes to choose from.

Pentax/Canon/Olympus etc all felt backwards to me on the lens mount until relatively recently. the location of the lens release button on the Pentax was always an awkward thing for me, I'm used to it being on the opposite side of the lens. :-) Of course, it mainly depends on what system you are accustomed to. This said, I believe the ideal lens release button must be comfortable to reach with the left hand, while keeping the lens with your right hand (for right-handed people). So the position of Pentax release button is better if you change the lens while looking at the front of your camera (turned toward you). That was the way I worked for years with cameras such as the MX and the ME Super. With cameras having a big grip like those in fashion today, I tend to change lenses from above, with the lens pointing forward and the camera back resting on my belly. In that case, a lens release button placed like Canon and Olympus is better. Wherever the lens release is, I find no big problem.

Re: OT - Anyone got opinions on the Olympus Pen E-PL1?
I have an E-P1 but it's very similar. Nicer body but no flash.I've found it to be a surprisingly effective camera. AF is slow on the E-P1 but IQ is good. I especially like the MF mode that goes to max magnification automatically. It makes MF far more useful than most modern cameras.

A lesson
Last night I took my camera, a *ist DS, to one of the sites of a recreation program we run, an outdoor basketball court, in a community that's about 80 percent low-income, half African American and half refugees literally from all over the world. I plunked myself down on a bench on the shaded end of the court, under one of the baskets. The other end was still in direct sunlight. I had my 50mm M on the camera, set for continuous shooting. It was my first attempt at real action photography. Trying to keep focus while the kids moved from one end of the court to the other, to maintain proper exposure as they moved in and out of shadow, and to do it all manually was a real challenge. I kept forgetting punch the exposure lock button to reset the shutter speed as kids moved around. My feeble attempts at framing shots were largely ineffective. I've only skimmed the images in the camera. There are a handful the kids would find interesting, but nothing that would impress anyone here. I'm not disappointed. It was experience.

Shooting basket ball with manual focus is difficult. One way is to pick a spot on the court, prefocus, and follow the action until it comes to that spot. If you focus on the rim, you can get some good rebounding and layup shots. If you want to focus moving action, follow one player and focus continuously as he moves, then trip the shutter when you think you have your shot. This last technique mimics what happens when using continuous autofocus with a good autofocus system. I don't think the *istDS can accomplish that, so your probably better off focusing manually in any case. The K7 can do it, but not with 100% accuracy. Of course, the most important step in learning to focus action is practice, practice and more practice.

Re: OT - Anyone got opinions on the Olympus Pen E-PL1?
The original Pentax design with the indexing bump on the lens made a lot
more sense. Holding the camera with the right hand, cradle the lens
with the left with your pointing finger over the bump, lens mount to the
front. Touch the lens release with your pointing finger. The lens is
properly oriented to mount on the camera. With a little practice you
can do this without looking. To remove the lens holding the camera with
the right hand, grab the lens with the left hand and press the lens
release with the middle or third finger on the right. However the
indexing bump is history as of the FA lenses, (except on some of the
limited lenses), and the release button has been repositioned so it no
longer lines up properly from the *ist cameras forward. I guess no one
complained.

Of course, it mainly depends on what system you are accustomed to. This
said, I believe the ideal lens release button must be comfortable to reach
with the left hand, while keeping the lens with your right hand (for
right-handed people). So the position of Pentax release button is better if
you change the lens while looking at the front of your camera (turned toward
you). That was the way I worked for years with cameras such as the MX and
the ME Super. With cameras having a big grip like those in fashion today, I
tend to change lenses from above, with the lens pointing forward and the
camera back resting on my belly. In that case, a lens release button placed
like Canon and Olympus is better. Wherever the lens release is, I find no
big problem.
When changing lenses, I tend to hold the body with my left hand and
depress the lens release button, while handling the lens with my right
hand. Grab body, grab lens, press with index finger, turn with right
hand and drop lens into slot in bag, grab next lens, insert and turn
to click.
The position of the Pentax lens release made it hard to figure out
which hand to use to press the release ... drove me a little crazy for
a long time. It's amusing to think of it this way, but it's one of the
reasons I moved to FourThirds bodies ... the lens release button was
much more comfortable to me. LOL!

Last night I took my camera, a *ist DS, to one of the sites of a
recreation program we run, an outdoor basketball court, in a
community that's about 80 percent low-income, half African American
and half refugees literally from all over the world. I plunked myself
down on a bench on the shaded end of the court, under one of the
baskets. The other end was still in direct sunlight.
I had my 50mm M on the camera, set for continuous shooting. It was my
first attempt at real action photography. Trying to keep focus while
the kids moved from one end of the court to the other, to maintain
proper exposure as they moved in and out of shadow, and to do it all
manually was a real challenge. I kept forgetting punch the exposure
lock button to reset the shutter speed as kids moved around. My
feeble attempts at framing shots were largely ineffective.
I've only skimmed the images in the camera. There are a handful the
kids would find interesting, but nothing that would impress anyone
here. I'm not disappointed. It was experience. I can get pointers
here and from books, etc., but it is experience that will teach me,
that will make other sources of information meaningful.
Good experience to be sure. Shooting basket ball with manual focus is
difficult. One way is to pick a spot on the court, prefocus, and
follow the action until it comes to that spot. If you focus on the
rim, you can get some good rebounding and layup shots. If you want to
focus moving action, follow one player and focus continuously as he
moves, then trip the shutter when you think you have your shot.
This last technique mimics what happens when using continuous
autofocus with a good autofocus system. I don't think the *istDS can
accomplish that, so your probably better off focusing manually in any
case. The K7 can do it, but not with 100% accuracy.
The Ds has continuous Auto Focus as a menu item, but it still can't
usefully accomplish it.
Of course, the most important step in learning to focus action is
practice, practice and more practice.

In Mac OS X, you don't have to click on Finder or anything to find your computer. The Finder is started up by the operating system as soon as you login, it is always available. It presents the Desktop folder in whatever account you're logged in on as the backdrop screen. You can configure whatever file system location you want it to present as default, in whichever of its display modes is most useful to you, whenever you open a new Finder window to navigate the file system. It stays running while you have other applications running so that you have immediate and easy access to the file system at all times. That is in fact exactly how it works in Windows, KDE and Gnome as well. In all cases the file browser is always running, but you need to open a window for it if it's not already open. On the Mac you have a window open by default on startup unless you tell it not too, Windows doesn't open a window unless you tell it to (but you can tell it to open one simply by dragging that folder to the startup folder in the start menu). Apple has improved the Finder significantly with Leopard, it's not the absolutely atrocious app that it was up through 10.4, but it's still not up to the capabilities of the current Windows Explorer for navigation (or Nautilus and Konqueror, which MS copied heavily in the updates to Explorer introduced in Vista). The one simple change Apple could do to make Finder more usable is adding an Address Bar with the current folder path in it, bonus if it's clickable like it is on Vista and later (Or Nautilus and Konqueror, Konqueror introduced this idea) which massively speeds up jumping around the filesystem. Having full directory trees in the sidebar is also a major advantage, the multi-pane view that Apple uses instead only provides limited equivalence as you can see multiple filesystem trees from one window with Explorer from all locations. -- 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.

Most people never read the extensive Mac OS X help that is included right in the standard system installation and never understand more than a quarter of the features included with the Finder.

Re: OT - Anyone got opinions on the Olympus Pen E-PL1?
I remember when Pentax switched to the K-mount came out in '71 or so
(I was selling cameras then...) and thought the design was sensible,
but my left hand is clumsy for manipulating lenses in and out of my
bag. I always hold the camera in my left hand and handle the lens in
my right. So the whole thing was backwards from the get go for me.
Holding the lens with the right hand and using the thumb to align the
bits worked but wasn't as comfortable as what I was used to on the
Nikons. Of course, one plus was that you didn't have to do the Nikon
aperture ring jiggle to index the lens maximum aperture like I did
with the Photomic FTn finder or Nikkormat FTns, but they solved that
with the AI aperture coupling a few years later.
Nuthin's perfect.
Frankly, I always had the same difficulty with the Leica M lens mount
release, tucked tightly against the lens mount in the middle of the
body, but with Leica Ms I tended to change lenses much less
frequently than with SLR cameras.

tend to change lenses from above, with the lens pointing forward and the
camera back resting on my belly. In that case, a lens release button
placed
like Canon and Olympus is better. Wherever the lens release is, I find no
big problem.
When changing lenses, I tend to hold the body with my left hand and
depress the lens release button, while handling the lens with my right
hand. Grab body, grab lens, press with index finger, turn with right
hand and drop lens into slot in bag, grab next lens, insert and turn
to click.
The position of the Pentax lens release made it hard to figure out
which hand to use to press the release ... drove me a little crazy for
a long time. It's amusing to think of it this way, but it's one of the
reasons I moved to FourThirds bodies ... the lens release button was
much more comfortable to me. LOL!

Re: Last Roll of Kodachrome Processed

enough to actually go out and shoot some mind you.
Hell, I have a bunch of BW film I haven't bothered to shoot, the only
film I've shot in the last few years has been the really inconvenient
stuff, 120 that has to be re-rolled onto 620 spools...
I guess there are a lot of a**h***s in the world based on the comments

shoot them, (and I don't mean with film).

View - Show Path Bar -bmw Ah, useful to note. Thanks for the info. That would go a long way to making Finder nicer to work with. It's been there since 10.3. It's not there on either my 10.3 machine or my 10.4 machine. May be somewhere else but I just checked and I'm not seeing the setting anywhere. It's certainly not at View-Show Path bar and Help on 10.3 pulls up nothing for Path Bar. Another thing you're likely unaware of is that Command-clicking on any Finder window's title will reveal a drop-down menu with the entire folder path from that window to the volume root. You can open a window to any folder on that path by picking it from the menu. This has been there since 1991 on all versions of Mac OS. (It also works with most application document windows too, a service provided by the Finder.) That is new to me. Not as useful as the Path/Address bar since it requires keyboard intervention but still useful, especially since my machines are older and not running 10.5 or newer. I don't use Finder file navigator alternatives because in the 26 years I've been using Apple Mac OS systems I have yet to find one that was as intuitive and sensible to use as the Finder. Most of them are heavily laden with yakity-yak nonsense that the Finder does with far more subtlety. These products have a ridiculously small market penetration, considering the size of the Mac OS installed base. And in doing consulting the past six years as an independent, I've discovered that the vast majority of problems on most people's systems are solved by removing all these poorly designed and implemented add-on things, and teaching them how to do what they want with the Finder. Of course Finder isn't immune to these problems either, as the show-stopping Move bug in 10.5 showed. And frankly, regardless of the quality of the replacements, they wouldn't be there if you could do what they do in Finder easily. And yes, they've added features to the point of getting crufty. So has OS X and Windows (Expose and its Windows clone?). We hit the point where adding features over improving basic usability is a given in each OS update. OS X hit that at 10.5, arguably at 10.4, Windows did with Vista (Win7 is a downgrade in usability over Vista, regardless of the backend changes). Also Finder as 'intuitive and sensible to use'? If you continuously have to teach people to use it, it ain't. Apple's damned good on usability, but Finder's just about the least intuitive aspect of the main OS X UI. Especially if you've used a modern 2-pane or 3-pane file manager before. Columns View in particular is a real WTF moment the first time you see it, it's also painful if you're used to a filesystem tree view. -Adam -- 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.

Bruce, They do much the same thing. Disk Inventory X is freeware and a little less innovative in its UI approach, and operates more slowly. I don't think it's been updated since Mac OS X v10.3.

He's a swallowtail, and he was quite yellow a few days ago. He's old and fading like me:-). Paul On Jul 23, 2010, at 9:47 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Paul, Excellent captures.
