PESOs - Guernsey Vintage Vehicles
A friend in Guernsey has some interesting old vehicles. This one's a 1950 Rover 75 Cyclops: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/richardvehicles/slides/_IGP4482.html The 3rd headlamp was removed in later models. This one's completely original and has never been repainted - he's even got the original wiper blades. It's been in Guernsey all its working life. Sadly it had a mechanical problem and we couldn't take it out of the garage so I was limited in what I could do. Next time I go over we're going to take it out on location for some evening shots by the sea. He's also got some tractors. This is a headlamp from a 60s Ferguson: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/richardvehicles/slides/_IGP4432.html Those were still the days when money was available for detail. I can't imagine anyone bothering to make a headlamp with a little tractor on it today... There's more in the gallery if you're interested.

RE: Leica's done with film
He got in the van, then explained to me that, since I wasn't British, I didn't understand how to deal with natives. To a great extent, the way the British deal with natives is why the world is as fucked up as it is today. William Robb The irony being that of the European Powers, the British were by far the nicest of the lot to natives in foreign colonies (with the Germans in close second). The Belgians on the other hand... thanks. That's like being known as the nicest serial killer.

But don't knock the deep-fried Snickers Bars or similar health-food offerings until you've tried them! No, not knocking them at all as an occasional treat. I worry about people who eat these sorts of things daily, though. We have our own deep fried 'health foods' that can hold their own with anything else offered world wide. 'Pluto Pups' are a case in point - similar to corn dogs but deep fried in batter and usually served with lashings of tomato sauce. They look disgusting and taste similarly, or at least they did on the only occasion I was tempted to try one.

Re: Messenger-style shoulder bags
Hi Rick, I bought a Domke J803 bag in November 08 and then carried it every day on a 3 month trip around the world. I have only bought one bag since then, and that was another J803 as a spare. In it I carry a K7, 12-24, 17-70, 60-250, dfa100 2.8 WR and AF360FGZ along with spare cards, batteries, torch, spare glasses, tissues, salt, headache tablets, tea bags or sachets of hot chocolate mix and for 3 months at least a map of whatever city I was in at the time. I'll admit I have to rearrange things to get the K7 with 60-250 attached back into the bag (it normally has the 17-70 attached). The only change I did make was to change the strap to a Tom Bihn absolute strap http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/ACC/TB0505 which is absolutely wonderful if you are carrying around that much weight all day every day. At any rate it works for me. I'm even considering getting rid of some of the bags I no longer use.

I'm looking for a light messenger-style shoulder bag to hold my K7 with 16-45, 10-17, 50-200, and maybe the 50/1.7. I like my Orion AW, but it can hold a lot more than that and is bulky. Does anyone have a LowePro Midtown or Exchange that would care to comment on it? Courierware has some interesting stuff but is expensive. The Tamrac Evolution and Temba Messenger are too big.

Re: Leica's done with film
2010/8/25 Sandy Harris sandyinch...@gmail.com: [...] Eventually, the manager turns up. He explains that his cleaning staff found the pouch, so he went downtown to see if he could spot us having breakfast, and when that failed, he got on the bus to Kandahar to find us there. Then he spotted our van coming back, so he got off the bus and hitched back. Here's your pouch. I've taken 10 pounds for my expenses. By Afghan standards of the time, 10 quid is a lot of money, quite likely two or three times the actual expenses. On the other hand, there was 1000 or so in the pouch, so I reckon Roger should be distinctly happy. Very much so seeing that there was also time spent and that courtesy was done well beyond the reasonably expectable. Had the manager taken it to the lost and found, he would have gotten many times more under the law in most any Western nation that I can think of. Here, 5% is compulsory minimum. Roger is not happy, claims the guy is robbing him. Wants to call the police. What a bloody ingrate. I tell him he's being an idiot, Good for you =) and anyway the chief of police is the manager's uncle. You should be thinking about how much more to give him, not bitching about 10. Absolutely. My wife is more direct. We are leaving. Do you want to shut up and get in the van? Or should we dump your luggage here? He got in the van, then explained to me that, since I wasn't British, I didn't understand how to deal with natives. Sure, once you no longer need their hospitality... You sure topped it.

Anyone else here suffer from Knife Buying Addiction as well? And do you feel some of the below? I have a fine collection of Japanese kitchen knives (Azai, Bunmei, Global, Hayashi, Hirotomo, Masatsune and Yoshisada Seiryu) that are a true pleasure to use. And yet these days I'm hardly tempted any more when I see a blade that looks as though it could fill another imaginary niche in my knife park. Instead my taste leans more and more towards doing more things with a smaller number of shapes or even just one. In a nutshell, knives hardly get my wanna-have light flashing any more. I am saturated. I am even thinking of selling some knives to free up some money for lenses... My camera comes back on Friday. I'll go back to thinking about lenses I don't have then.

Dan Dan, I'm well aware of what the British did in their colonies. They were not anything resembling nice. The Spanish in particular were worse, much worse. The Dutch were every bit as bad as the British at their worst (particularly in the Dutch East Indies) and never as nice as the British at their best, as were the French and the Portuguese. If you think what happened in Ireland was bad, read some history about the Spanish Netherlands sometime, or frankly some Finnish History (colonized by the Swede's and then taken over by the Russians). Ireland was not subjected to centuries of oppression and frankly most of the tales about the British oppression of the Irish are not historical (Like in Scotland, it was mostly the local nobles doing the oppressing, backed by the British to varying extents). And the Belgians? They followed the French lead in Africa, not the British lead. Oh, and the 'White Man's Burden'? That comes from one extremely sarcastic poem by Kipling warning the US that Colonialism was a bad idea for the colonized and the colonizer both. Also note your comment on British interference after the Communist Revolution is simple nonsense. Paranoia in Russian Foreign Policy has been the norm for centuries. The Communists were if anything less prone to it than their predecessors. If the British and their allies had been successful in aiding the Whites it likely would have saved millions of lives over the last 90 years. -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.

This is laughably inaccurate. The excuse the Bolsheviks used was the attempt to grant massive amounts of Russian lands to the German and Ottoman Empires in the first proposed peace treaty ending the war on the eastern front in WW1, this predates the Allied Intervention. The Bolsheviks won because the Whites couldn't agree on anything and the majority of the Allied Intervention forces (the Imperial Japanese Army, which sent 70,000 troops, the majority of the forces) was uninterested in anything outside of Siberia and frankly, the Bolsheviks had a stranglehold on the core of Russia right from the start of the Civil War. Being taken over by the Colonial Powers was never a significant factor in the Civil War outside of Siberia (and there it was Japan, not the European Powers, that was the threat) If the British and their allies had been successful in aiding the Whites it likely would have saved millions of lives over the last 90 years.

Cameras were allowed as long as they didn't have removable lenses. I even got the NEX-5 in but the security guard at the seats had an issue with the zoom lens (18 - 55). I explained that it was shorter than most zooms in people's point and shoots, but all he could say was they don't like to see zooms.

I have little time for rehashing of Soviet Propaganda, which the position you described earlier primarily is. I was an international relations major in college, with a minor in Soviet Studies. I researched and studied the intervention and its aftermath in some detail, including sources in Russian I obtained from archive in Germany and Russia. While I've never studied the period in an official class, I've done very extensive reading on the subject myself as it impacts a part of history rather important to my own family history (being of White Finnish descent). There were numerous examples where the hard-liners used the intervention, and the fact that it was orchestrated by Britain with participation of American troops, as evidence that the West was plotting to overthrow the Soviet government and impose their own regime upon Russia. Considering that the Soviet government was one party in the Civil War and a creature of the Bolsheviks and various allied groups and that their opponents, including both the Whites and the Cossacks, were actively trying to overthrow it before the Allied Intervention your point is pretty much irrelevant. Of course they were trying to overthrow the Soviet Government. Everybody except the Bolsheviks and their allies of the moment were trying to do exactly that. The Soviet Government had precious little legitimacy until late in the Civil War. And yes, the Hardliners used the Intervention as evidence that the West was plotting to overthrow the Soviet Government and impose their own regime upon Russia. The former was accurate, the latter was propaganda. I am no fan of communism; my great-grandparents suffered under the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia after WW II.

The intervention thus was counter-productive and drove many moderates to the side of the Reds. Dan That's an interesting take on it, considering it was only British and French support which kept the White cause alive as long as it ended up lasting. Without the British and French support the Bolsheviks would have ended up defeating the Whites much earlier. The idea that significant numbers of Russians were convinced by the intervention that it was really a struggle to keep foreign powers from dominating their future remains mostly Soviet propaganda. Note the Intervention was over by the time that the Bolsheviks started picking up serious support from moderates, it's much more likely that the withdrawal of the Intervention forces drove those moderates into the Bolsheviks camp as it became clear that the West wasn't going to make a serious effort to defeat the Bolsheviks than the Intervention doing the opposite, the timeline of the war itself shows that, with the war being fought from 1917 through 1922/23 and the Intervention lasting from 1918 to 1920 aside from the Japanese in Siberia. I do agree however that the intervention was an ill-conceived exercise that was doomed from the start. Cultural Arrogance? Not so much as a well founded belief that Communism was dangerous and worries that war supplies provided to Russia would fall into German hands and prolong the war. Stupid?

Go warm up your cam and scanner, Godders, I wanna see. If I bought anything for the kitchen these days, I'd buy a ceramic. :-) I wouldn't. Nothing like hand forged metal, preferably high carbon and high maintenance. I just can't get utilitarian about it. For function: Gotta try and remember the name of it but I eBayed for my soon to be ex boss a cobalt alloyed pm steel knife with 64° HRC. Next thing he asked my opinion about was a kevlar glove. I offered to take the knife off his hands but he wouldn't. Too bad none has shown up in the bay since. It wasn't pretty in my book but sure went through everything.

RE: PESOs - Guernsey Vintage Vehicles
A friend in Guernsey has some interesting old vehicles. This one's a 1950 Rover 75 Cyclops: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/richardvehicles/slides/_IGP4482.html lovely photograph of a beautiful car. [...] He's also got some tractors. This is a headlamp from a 60s Ferguson: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/richardvehicles/slides/_IGP4432.html Those were still the days when money was available for detail. I can't imagine anyone bothering to make a headlamp with a little tractor on it today... I wouldn't bet on it. That kind of classic tractor is still made in India. I saw one last week in Cornwall, in British racing green of all colours. My brother was lusting after it as his own tractor is rusting like mad. Apparently these Indian ones are dead simple and easy to maintain, rather like 2CVs. It was, I must admit, a much nicer tractor than my brother's. http://tinyurl.com/3agcjcu -- 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: GESO: Parkville Days
Thanks Dave, and also Bob W who made the same pick. The shot is of course something of an accident. Or maybe I should say it was the serendipitous result of an experiment. The Wild West Show wasn't very wild, the script involved deserters and ruffians on the Missouri fringes of the Southern rebellion (rather than the real West), and the show lasted only about 5 minutes. But within that time there was great running around, riding around, much gunfire and powder smoke. And it was free and they redid it every hour on the hour 4-5 times through the afternoon. I missed most of it the first two times, but then managed two shows during which I set up ahead of time in a position to try and minimize background electric lines, parking lots full of cars, ball field backstops, etc. The first time, some chimping showed that I was still getting too much background clutter. So the second time I decided to try panning more, with a slow shutter speed, to try blur out the background. I was trying for the sharpness to fall on the riders face and pistol, but gauged it wrong and wound up with this shot. Which I quite like as well. stan On Aug 25, 2010, at 4:13 AM, David J Brooks wrote: Some great shots Stan.

OT - Chinese Prize Winning Photograph Accused Of Being Misleading
Below is a link to a blog post on the website EastSouthWestNorth. It is a compilation of translated news articles from China about the caption on a prize-winning photograph, and whether it was misleading or not. The photo is captioned Holding the Body for Ransom, and depicts a fishing boat towing a drowned college student near the shore. The English is a little hard to read, but the collection of articles gives a relatively neutral point of view, the point of view of the photographer, and the point of view of the guy in the boat. It also shows additional photographs that give context to the original image. I thought it was really interesting reading, and wanted to pass it on. http://www.zonaeuropa.com/20100820_1.htm Best Regards, Ira -- Ira Bryant irabry...@sbcglobal.net -- 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.

Right now I have a KM and a K-X. Lenses include the SMC 55/1.8, FA50/1.4, A35/2. A couple of extra ones are for sale to finance the K-X. http://columbus.craigslist.org/pho/1919251988.html I still shoot film, but pretty much 4x5. I have an old Speed Graphic. And I've been here before, though it has been several years. What's the big news, folks?
