Re: Re: Enablement: Pentax 67
Thanks. Yes film is great - again. I believe that the digital photography revolution have really killed many of the bad or not so good labs. No developing at the nearest street corner anymore. Now we MUST go to a real pro-lab. And when we do, we get excellent high rez. negs, that will scan to 50-100 MegaPixel. Brilliant! BTW: At the pro studio, where I bougt my camera, I could see there were still some film wrappings lying arround.

Re: DXO and light loss with fast lenses
My take on this is the following: There's no wonder that cameras do indeed change the exact values of exposure parameters. This is nothing new. Oe will display 1/30 at f/2.8 (AV mode) when really the camera decided to use 1/27 but for clarity purposes, displays 1/30. I have no problem with that. The problem I have is when the manufacturer decides to ALWAYS use a number instead of another. If you use two cameras with same sensor and same 3rd party lens and you get (for 2 fixed parameters) a third parameter completely different, it sucks. With reviews as they are done now (good or bad) the fact that some cameras (yes, Nikon being one of them but Pentax might be as well) display (always) Iso6400 but use Iso5000 is nothing but a lie. Of course the review favors the Nikon because High Isos are better. Uh... Strangely the accuracy of displayed values are almost NEVER tested. Same goes for max shutter speed. The rule was (I dunno how it is in digital age, really) that the the max shutter speed has the interest to garantee the the second one is indeed accurate. Even 10-15 years ago, Penatx cameras has a 1/100 flash sync which was accurate. Most competing Canikon cameras has a 1/125 sync but they all were in fact 1/100. Those are bold lies and should be presented as such.

I have an old-style 6X7. It is a wonderful camera. I have a few rolls of film in the freezer, and one of these days, I'm going to go out and re-live the good old days.

The K-5 vs K-x vs K-7
I shot a few hundred frames last night at a dress rehearsal. Took a K-7 and K-x with me, with a 77 1.8 lens and 50-135 2.8 lens. There were MANY people on the stage so both lenses ended up being a bit too long. But both had some problems with the dramatic lighting conditions. When I tried using 1600 ISO, the camera tended to blow out highlights (the singers' faces). I did try a few at 3200. The zoom was awkward to use under such low light, so the next time I will take the three limited lenses (31/43/77) and leave the long ordnance at home. But I kept saying to myself I wish I had the K-5 for this. I could tell on my LCD that this high ISO frames were noisy. Just how I can handle that in PhotoShop/Bridge will tell me whether or not I have to get a K-5 before the next theater production. So, I'm keeping a close eye on these K-5 posts from early users.

Oh I remember those painful days of punched cards. Your program doesn't compile because of 3-4 syntax errors (typos or misplaced commas or semicolons).

Took a K-7 and K-x with me, with a 77 1.8 lens and 50-135 2.8 lens. There were MANY people on the stage so both lenses ended up being a bit too long. But both had some problems with the dramatic lighting conditions. When I tried using 1600 ISO, the camera tended to blow out highlights (the singers' faces). I did try a few at 3200. The zoom was awkward to use under such low light, so the next time I will take the three limited lenses (31/43/77) and leave the long ordnance at home. But I kept saying to myself I wish I had the K-5 for this. I could tell on my LCD that this high ISO frames were noisy. Just how I can handle that in PhotoShop/Bridge will tell me whether or not I have to get a K-5 before the next theater production. So, I'm keeping a close eye on these K-5 posts from early users.

Doubling the memory in it would probably make a big difference. I think it is 2gb. I'm a novice with Macs (I did all sorts of hardware upgrades on my first few PCs). The Apple Store down here could do it, but they are nested in the most overcrowded mall in the metropolitan New Orleans area, so I would have to walk half a mile wit a huge computer under my arm.
