16-50 sunshade replacement
Hello Larry, there is a DIY repair instruction on the net for loose sun shades. You build up the worn out plastic by successfully applying three or four coats of epoxy on the inner diameter of the sun shade. Make sure the first layer has dried before you apply a fresh coat. You need to put some epoxy carefully on the locking lugs at the sides too. Remove extra epoxy build-up with a tooth pick. If by chance the sun shade becomes too tight, use zero emery to get some of the epoxy out. Enjoy the project Larry, and save some money.

PPG voting deja vu
I uploaded five pics to the gallery a couple of weeks ago and never looked at them again. Busy days around here. Anyway, I took a look this morning, opened one or two, and discovered to my dismay that they were yukky. (Yukky is a technical term relative to tonality:-) I soon realized I had failed to convert them to SRGB before uploading. I've now done that, and reloaded. So if you think you're experiencing voting deja vu, that is why. Yes, you have seen that pic before, but it is, hopefully, less yukky this time around.

When I read 'homeless people' my heart sank and I thought 'oh god, here we go again, usual easy cliches', but in fact they reminded me strongly of 19th-century anthropological photos, with all their racialist and colonialist overtones, and they make you look again at your own feelings towards people in such situations - particularly in a country like the USA.

Re: 16-50 sunshade replacement

You build up the worn out plastic by successfully applying three or four coats of epoxy on the inner diameter of the sun shade. Make sure the first layer has dried before you apply a fresh coat. You need to put some epoxy carefully on the locking lugs at the sides too. Remove extra epoxy build-up with a tooth pick. If by chance the sun shade becomes too tight, use zero emery to get some of the epoxy out. Enjoy the project Larry, and save some money. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that.

PPG -- Déjà vu all over again
There was an exceptionally strong set of images up for voting on the PPG this afternoon. Many of the images were also very familiar: Grace on her skateboard, the church that is Sellin' Out, that wonderful portrait of a guitar player . . . . .

Just to agree with Larry that the 40mm Limited is an awfully damn useful little lens.

Re: 16-50 sunshade replacement
From: Larry Colen On Nov 21, 2011, at 6:16 AM, Bipin Gupta wrote: Hello Larry, there is a DIY repair instruction on the net for loose sun shades. You build up the worn out plastic by successfully applying three or four coats of epoxy on the inner diameter of the sun shade. Make sure the first layer has dried before you apply a fresh coat. You need to put some epoxy carefully on the locking lugs at the sides too. Remove extra epoxy build-up with a tooth pick. If by chance the sun shade becomes too tight, use zero emery to get some of the epoxy out. Enjoy the project Larry, and save some money. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that. Just be sure to allow the epoxy to dry completely before testing for fit. -- 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: Wanted 43mm limited lens cap.
Actually the cap, which on the 43mm limited, slides on over the front of the lens hood, is almost exactly the same size as the metal slip on hoods on lenses with 52mm filter threads. The caps that are almost the same size of a film cap are for the DA 40mm lens. I don't happen to have one of those.

Re: F 50 f/1.7 or FA 50 f/1.7?
Not much really, the FA has a chip that communicates more data about the Lens which is used in various program modes. The lenses themselves are pretty much the same optical formula as as are the M and A 50mm f1.7 only the coatings have had any real changes since the f1.7 introduction in the early 70's. You may however save yourself a bit of coin buying the FA as the F is quite a bit rarer than the FA and is often more expensive.

Re: F 50 f/1.7 or FA 50 f/1.7?
Thanks All- I'm leaning to the 40 mm Limited, since I have an M 50 f/1.4. I like the 40 mm's small size, and don't feel that f/2.8 is a limiting factor when paired with the K5. Plus, the better resolution of the K5 allows tighter crops, for those times I really needed a 50mm lens. (I better take the 35-80 zoom out, and simulate the cropping idea first...)

Any thoughts on a DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited vs. one of the 50mm f/1.7s? The DA40/2.8 is one of my favorite lenses. I bought it because it's small. I keep it on my K-x because it is small, and that gives me an SLR that I can fit in a coat pocket. But, I love it for the photos it produces. I find 50mm to be a bit of an awkward length on APS. Too narrow for standard, to short for tele. I have an M 50/1.7, which I took a couple shots with when I was buying it (for a stupidly cheap price) but haven't used it since. It's a really nice piece of glass, I just almost never find myself reaching for that focal length. When I need speed, I'd use the 50, otherwise I'd use the 40.

What are you working on to improve your photography?
On another photo forum I occasionally hang out on, someone posted What are your pet peeves in photography that you see other photographers do?, and boy was there a lot of responses of people gleefully putting others down. My feeling is that all that crappy photographers do is make my photos seem that much better in comparison. What peeves me is when I'm shooting someplace with someone else, and they get much better photos than I do. What I think is a much more productive question to discuss, is what you are doing, or have you done, to improve your own photography? Are you practicing hand held shots at low shutter speeds? Taking test shots without using the light meter to get a feel for what light gives what exposures? Spending a month shooting with only one prime lens at a time?
