Re: Pentax slogan
I've had the same conversation with Photo Managers at Costco, and of course the high end Pro shops. Rather than moving units, Pentax has always been more interested in maintaining their price point in hopes that Canikon will lower their high Pro prices (for better spec'd units) to undercut Pentax, leaving Pentax as the high priced spread that the monied folk will lust after. It's not sales they want, they want the lust… On Dec 6, 2010, at 19:12 , P. J. Alling wrote: I had a conversation with a Wal-Mart manager, not too long ago. I asked why Wal-Mart didn't carry Pentax?

A quick inventory of my freezer stash produced 11 rolls of Kodachrome KR-25/36 that expired in 1997, and 8 rolls of KR-64/36 that expired in 1999. They are currently thawing, in hopes that I can shoot that many rolls in the next 10 days or so. It's not the amount, it's finding that much subject matter within 100 miles that I don't have to hike to. The current weather patterns are pretty solid rainGuess I'll do the nearby wetlands, the Olympic National Forest, Mts. Rainier, Baker St. Helens. That's a lot of driving in 10 days. That's $190 for processing, plus shipping both ways. Hmmm. I'll shoot a test roll of each ISO and ship it off tomorrow PM and hope to get them back before I've shot the rest so I can judge whether to even have the rest processed.

After a cup of coffee (thank you, dear Pentax, it was just in time) on the house and 40 mins of wait my camera is with me again. The sensor is clean. But... These blobs that can be seen in f/11 and smaller are still there. Pentax rep suggested that I can submit my camera for deep clean that involves taking it apart, etc. It wouldn't be free of charge of course, unlike the procedure that was performed today. Since I am still to loose a shot to these blobs (11,000 clicks on my shutter count so far), I could really care less about them. So I thanked them and walked away happily. But for sake of statistics - at least one K-7 has the blobs although I cannot say with all certainty whether it came this way or it is a result of some (mis)use on my part. I studied my K-7's sensor shot at ƒ22 at a white wall 4 feet away, lens at Infinity. I saw no 'blobs' or 'strings of blobs. I did see a soft dirt spot just off center that needs cleaning, but it's so soft and un-noticable on my images at 100%. What was freaky was enlarging the center of the image as far as Preview would go, which showed the many different colors the pixels show. At full screen it looks as smooth as glass however.

Re: OT: Digital ice - a question
It doesn't work as well as ICE, but I have an old Poloroid dust and scratch removal program I downloaded years ago, Polaroid probably doesn't support it anymore. IIRC it works standalone on Jpegs and as a Plugin in older versions of Photoshop, maybe even newer versions as well. I haven't used it in a while but I'll see if I can dig it out if you're interested.

Re: I Wish
The K-5 allows you to prioritize focus or shooting speed in continuous autofocus. Choosing focus priority tends to make focus lock more likely in continuous shooting, although it's no guarantee that every frame will be in focus.

I think that if it were predictive, it would work only for one rate of subject movement. By prioritizing focus over speed, it will delay firing in machine-gun mode until it thinks it has a lock.

Re: Two more PESOs from Boris
Yes. IIRC, that is what a lot of folks complained about when you first posted that image. My image also had a lot of very dark areas, plus a door and a sign that got in the way from the right. Accordingly, I cropped the hell out of it to get rid of all of that, and just show the gelato with all the colors and the hand-written flavor label. My conclusion is that you were correct in not trying to eliminate the dark areas that bothered some. (besides that, you image of course was a better one than mine to begin with.)

Ted, Tell Diane that I have no plans at the present time to visit China. I'd love to, however. There are too many possibles for where I'd like to visit were I to go, which I'll have to deal with prioritizing when it comes time to plan a trip. Tibet is high on my list, however. Something about the high places of the world attracts me. On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 5:13 PM, Theodore Beilby tbei...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Godfrey, Diane wants to know where you are going in China.

As to size, I'd guess what's shown is roughly 10'H X 15'W. That's about what I thought. The gap between the slabs looks just enough to fit your fingers under. As a matter of fact, it looks like such a beautiful climb I'm surprised there isn't a bunch of chalk marks on it from people climbing it. A layback is actually a rock climbing technique where you hook your fingers under one slap, and put your feet on the wall, and use the friction from the opposition to walk up the wall. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.
