As Mike mentioned, Tamron made a very good macro 2x for it. The other nice thing about that lens is that you can buy it in ANY camera mount and then get the adaptall for K mount. The cheapest route will be to get the K/M adaptall mount and use it with the green button. The more expensive K/A adaptall mount can be added later for more convenient use. I'll second that opinion.

Choosing long telephoto lens
Hi list Opinions wanted. I have been wanting a long telphoto lens for some time. For supplementing my FA 2.8 80-200mm. Looking at ebay I can chose from two excellent lenses: Sigma EX 100-300mm F4 ( perhaps 600-800 Euros)- not DG but for full frame (still got many film SLR's). Pentax DA 300mm F4 (offered to me for 750 Euros) - digital only (APS-C). I am leaning towards the Sigma lens because of the zoom, I guess I'll use this one more often. Is the Pentax DA lens so much better, that I should forget about the zooming options? Actually there's a FA 300mm F4.5 too - but I dont know anything about this lens. Does anyone know anything about the FA? I guess the price will be almost the same - apr. 1000 USD. And there's (always) the SMC F 300mm F4 too - but currently one is for sale (BIN) for 1200 Euros (close to 1800 USD, which is too steep for me).

Re: sometimes being good isn't good ;)
My K-5 took about 5 minutes to resume autofocusing with my DA60-250/4 yesterday. It was disconcerting to experience! I had had the DA100/2.8 on camera for a week or two and then changed back yestereday. I swear the lens has a capacitor inside that must build up a charge before autofocus works. And the darn thing is heavy too! I put a battery grip on the K-5 to improve my ability to handle the combo. The 55-300 may not be so bad after all... Regards, Bob S.

Re: Why do you shoot?
Of course, it wasn't a cliche back in 1830. A similar line also appears in an old Marine drinking song: Twas a dark and stormy night, not a star was there in sight All the Mustangs were tied down to the line When a lonely volunteer stood in mud up to his ear He'd orders to fly old Number Nine. Well, his back was racked with pain as he climbed into the plane A lonely tear was forming in his eye And he offered up a prayer as he climbed into the air He knew this would be his night to die. As he flew o'er Hagaru he let loose a bomb or two And he figured that he ought to call it quits But how was he to know that he's fly so doggone low That the bomb blast would blow his plane to bits. In the wreckage he was found, thinly spread around the ground The Crunchies, they raised his weary head With his lifetime almost spent here's the message that he sent To the buddies who'd be sad to see him dead. I used an eight to ten delay, but it didn't work that way Without a tail a Mustang doesn't fly Tell the Skipper now for me, he's got only twenty-three He can roll up the ladder, Semper Fi.

Re: Choosing long telephoto lens
The cosmetics on that Tokina look amazingly like my TX interchangeable mount Vivitar 400mm f5.6. Not a bad lens though I doubt that they share much in the way of optics. Tokina made a lot of internal changes during the years it was produced.

I have been wanting a long telphoto lens for some time. For supplementing my FA 2.8 80-200mm. Looking at ebay I can chose from two excellent lenses: Sigma EX 100-300mm F4 ( perhaps 600-800 Euros)- not DG but for full frame (still got many film SLR's). Pentax DA 300mm F4 (offered to me for 750 Euros) - digital only (APS-C). I am leaning towards the Sigma lens because of the zoom, I guess I'll use this one more often. Is the Pentax DA lens so much better, that I should forget about the zooming options? Actually there's a FA 300mm F4.5 too - but I dont know anything about this lens. Does anyone know anything about the FA? I guess the price will be almost the same - apr. 1000 USD. And there's (always) the SMC F 300mm F4 too - but currently one is for sale (BIN) for 1200 Euros (close to 1800 USD, which is too steep for me).

Re: sometimes being good isn't good ;)
Is the DA 50-200 weather sealed? If not, try that argument because the 60-250 is weather sealed. You can also say the lady PDMLers told you to go for the new lens--might help :-)--or not--;-). With my husband, I find I have to quietly drop in statements like wow, I really could use that new body or man, if I had the reach of that new lens or different interface on my back-up camera really is annoying. I drop these in our casual conversation for a period of time--it helps to warm Darrel up to the idea of another piece of expensive equipment. But I admit to being married to an easy target. He's supportive of my photography--and I have made a few dollars out of it (not a lot, mind you) and continue to try to make more money, so that helps convince him too.

Semi-OT: Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
Hi all, So, I recently inherited a copy of this software from my brother who was using it to edit and catalog photos of is granddaughter, but decided he didn't need all the bells and whistles that came along with it and wanted something a little more basic. Given that my old copy of Photoshop 7 predates DNG support and I can't seem to find the plugin that will make it do so, I thought I'd give it a shot. (I don't have the dough to spend on CS or LR, unfortunately, so my options are limited here.) Does anyone have any experience with this software at all? Because, so far, I'm very much less than impressed with it, and not for lack of features. It seems fine in that regard. What is really, really grating on me is the extreme -- and I use that word advisedly -- slowness in cataloging my DNG files in the organizer. It's taking somewhere around four seconds per photo! Picasa doesn't have this problem at all. It zips right through them like a hot knife through butter. Unfortunately, Picasa doesn't have the features that PSP does. Otherwise, I'd just say screw it. Anyone know why it might be taking so long to catalog these photos, and any idea if there's something that can be done to speed up the process? It really is irksome. -- Walt -- 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.

Okay I just got in from a nice walk and then had to stop to get groceries and now I am about to get a bite of lunch. I wanted to send up a warning to those that do not think when they are about to go out on a walk. I of course brought my camera along just in case there was something worth capturing. This was a new adventure on one of the many Greenways we have here in Nashville so for whatever reason I decided not to get my camera out and ready at the car. Instead I had it in my backpack as I was not certain how far along the trail I would see anything worth capturing.

Re: K5 Walkabout test
An exemplar series of photographs Christine. It was hard for me to choose a favorite or two, but here goes anyway. BW Nos. 1, 3 5. That Silence sign must be a most photographed sign amongst the local photographers, wonderfully balanced. As is the staircase in #3, better than #4. #5 is nicely balanced, with a difficult lighting situation handled. That those silhouetted figures didn't flare out or bloom much is amazing. Color Nos. 3, 5, 10 13. #5 forces one to study the details of the alley better than #6. Every piece of brick, concrete, iron steel tells a part of a story laying over a long time period. #3 is a peaceful as it is colorful, muted. Yes, I see you in #10, as well as a patient animal made more interesting with the tribute of a Kodachrome red rose. #13 is an image I would not have even noticed walking with my K7, as I could not have captured all those details before the noise monster began munching at the deep mid-tones. Assuming you were not hefting a tripod or monopod for this series, I am impressed by the sharpness and depth of focus you are getting, even at ƒ4.0 and a slow shutter speed.

Looking at ebay I can chose from two excellent lenses: Sigma EX 100-300mm F4 ( perhaps 600-800 Euros)- not DG but for full frame (still got many film SLR's). Pentax DA 300mm F4 (offered to me for 750 Euros) - digital only (APS-C). I am leaning towards the Sigma lens because of the zoom, I guess I'll use this one more often. Is the Pentax DA lens so much better, that I should forget about the zooming options? Actually there's a FA 300mm F4.5 too - but I dont know anything about this lens. Does anyone know anything about the FA? I guess the price will be almost the same - apr. 1000 USD. And there's (always) the SMC F 300mm F4 too - but currently one is for sale (BIN) for 1200 Euros (close to 1800 USD, which is too steep for me). I don't think there is a F 300mm 4.0. The F version of the FA 300mm 4.5 however shares the same optical design and has a built in tripod mount that the FA lacks. I've never used one but there was much love for that lens in either iteration on the list a few years back, BD. You might also look for a SMC A* or M* f4.0. They're almost affordable when compared to their auto-focus brethren. The A* is particularly nice paired with a AF 1.7x adapter. The M is almost as good as you'll probably be shooting wide open a lot and lack of automation won't matter too much. Thanks Jens -- Where's the Kaboom?

Re: Today in the life
I was able to shoot our local AAA baseball games with long lenses last year, on two bodies with two tripods. Very cumbersome for me. I only changed seats twice. The seats at AAA leave large holes whee no one is sitting, especially when getting far enough out on the baselines so you are not shooting through chain link. The down side is their team photog kept getting in the way. And she was down on the field! Local hockey rink is less amenable. 4 and interchangeable lenses are the Pro limit. So I brought my 300mm Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain. Told them it was a FanCam for low light. Suueee.

Re: K5 Walkabout test
Thanks, Ann! yea, you're right about the 20s. Thanks for the heads up on the color shot in the bw gallery. Obviously, I wasn't paying attention. The watermark on the brown line shot gets in the way of the boy's nice red shoelaces. I think one of the staircase shots isn't aligned just right. I have to take a closer look at it.

Re: K5 Walkabout test
Thanks, Jack, for the kind words. I didn't put any pressure on myself yesterday. I let a lot of shots go. I haven't been out shooting much, so fun was the first priority; I just wanted to get back into the groove of walkabout photography. Also, in Bill Jay's book On Being a Photographer the authors suggest to sit in a public place and look for potential shots. Then when you see one, just blink--no camera, just blink. I did quite a bit of that yesterday. (I think it was Bill Jay's book). Anyway, thanks, again.

Re: K5 Walkabout test
Thanks, Bob. The Cultural Center is really a dark place. I wanted to capture the light that my eye saw. It's really hard to do, but I think I came closer than previous attempts. Needless to say, I did an awful lot of bracketing. I got the artist gallery name wrong; it's actually called Project Onwards studio and gallery. All the artists have mental and developmental disabilities. The work for sale is wonderful. I plan to go back an buy a piece or two; I would have yesterday, but I didn't want to carry anything since I was out in the field. You can learn more about them at www.projectonward.org .

Re: K5 Walkabout test
Thanks, Joseph! All shots were hand held. I should have used the K7 on the Peterson Grammar school shots--just to compare to the K5, but I didn't really think about it. Since it was dark, I wanted to test the K5 at high ISOs. I actually like that I can shoot ISO 80 too! Next week I'll try that ISO. The low noise at high ISO is so liberating.

It was hard for me to choose a favorite or two, but here goes anyway. BW Nos. 1, 3 5. That Silence sign must be a most photographed sign amongst the local photographers, wonderfully balanced. As is the staircase in #3, better than #4. #5 is nicely balanced, with a difficult lighting situation handled. That those silhouetted figures didn't flare out or bloom much is amazing. Color Nos. 3, 5, 10 13. #5 forces one to study the details of the alley better than #6. Every piece of brick, concrete, iron steel tells a part of a story laying over a long time period. #3 is a peaceful as it is colorful, muted. Yes, I see you in #10, as well as a patient animal made more interesting with the tribute of a Kodachrome red rose. #13 is an image I would not have even noticed walking with my K7, as I could not have captured all those details before the noise monster began munching at the deep mid-tones.

Okay I just got in from a nice walk and then had to stop to get groceries and now I am about to get a bite of lunch. I wanted to send up a warning to those that do not think when they are about to go out on a walk. I of course brought my camera along just in case there was something worth capturing. This was a new adventure on one of the many Greenways we have here in Nashville so for whatever reason I decided not to get my camera out and ready at the car. Instead I had it in my backpack as I was not certain how far along the trail I would see anything worth capturing. Well as it so happens I begin walking along the bridge across Richland Creek and there in the water is a nice sized crane. Well by the time I removed my camera popped in a new memory card he/she had flown off. Remember always no matter what have your camera ready to go at any given moment.

Given that my old copy of Photoshop 7 predates DNG support and I can't seem to find the plugin that will make it do so, I thought I'd give it a shot. (I don't have the dough to spend on CS or LR, unfortunately, so my options are limited here.) Does anyone have any experience with this software at all? Because, so far, I'm very much less than impressed with it, and not for lack of features. It seems fine in that regard. What is really, really grating on me is the extreme -- and I use that word advisedly -- slowness in cataloging my DNG files in the organizer. It's taking somewhere around four seconds per photo! Picasa doesn't have this problem at all. It zips right through them like a hot knife through butter. Unfortunately, Picasa doesn't have the features that PSP does. Otherwise, I'd just say screw it. Anyone know why it might be taking so long to catalog these photos, and any idea if there's something that can be done to speed up the process? It really is irksome. I have no experience with PSP or Picasa (other than using the Picasa web gallery). But lack of experience in a subject has never been a barrier to sounding knowledgeable about it Could it be that Picasa is just cataloguing the jpg previews that are built into DNG files and that PSP is actually processing the raw data? The latter would be heavier on computer resources.
