 It looks like it might be a good lens.
 I kind of doubt Pentax would be rebadging that one...

 After we left Juneau we cruised to the Tracy Arm and eventually to the
 Sawyer Glacier. This area is off limits to all until late in the summer
 due to the birthing of seal pups. We arrived after the prohibition to
 several hundred pups and adults basking on ice chunks in the blazing
 sun.
 Caught this pup eying us in the Zodiac.

GESO Pentax Q and Raynox 250

2012-09-15 Thread Toine
I don't have a Q to K adapter yet. I do have a raynox 250 and it works
perfectly on the Q and standard 01 lens:

http://www.repiuk.nl/index.php/blog-mainmenu-97/232-pentax-q-and-raynox-m-250

I think the Q rivals my old K10 and K20. No banding and IQ is more or
less equal. The standard 01 lens is very sharp.

OT GESO - Protest

2012-09-15 Thread Derby Chang


Was doing my normal thing in the city, when police and ambulance sirens 
started down George Street (the main drag). Turns out folks were 
protesting that wacky youtube movie. Became unpleasant with the dogs and 
pepper spray.


http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc/12/12_09/12_09_protest/index.htm

The first shot in front of Tiffany's is misleading. The US consulate is 
on the other side of the road.


http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/police-gas-sydney-protesters-20120915-25yrb.html

But it wasn't like it's being show in the media. The protesters were 
relatively contained, if pretty vocal. The violence only started when 
they were kettled off in Hyde Park and the arrests started. I fully 
support their right to protest. Just seems out of character for such a 
lovely spring afternoon. Kudos to the speaker on the megaphone for 
calming things down with a prayer, and for the NSW police for handling 
it (I'm guessing this wasn't an authorised protest, because normally the 
force would be out ahead of time).

Thanks, Don! And thanks to the others who commented.

I'd send him the photo, but I have no idea who he is or where he lives. I was 
doing volunteer work for our local humane society at a fundraiser and between 
other jobs taking a few photos. This one didn't go on our website or FB page 
but I liked it anyway.

Asked mom permission first (as I try to do every time I snap kids in public).

Glad you all enjoyed.

Thanks as well to those who looked and didn't comment

protesting that wacky youtube movie. Became unpleasant with the dogs and 
pepper spray.

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/police-gas-sydney-protesters-20120915-25yrb.html

But it wasn't like it's being show in the media. The protesters were 
relatively contained, if pretty vocal. The violence only started when 
they were kettled off in Hyde Park and the arrests started. I fully 
support their right to protest. Just seems out of character for such a 
lovely spring afternoon. Kudos to the speaker on the megaphone for 
calming things down with a prayer, and for the NSW police for handling 
it (I'm guessing this wasn't an authorised protest, because normally the 
force would be out ahead of time).

OT monitoring the problem

Well it is a puzzlement...

I'm able to adjust the monitor to 50% and work for hours with nothing 
amiss, when something hoovers, I decrease the brightness. sometimes it 
starts flickering wildly even at 20% brightness.


I can increase brightness for a short period of time to get closer to 
what I think others see before it flickers.


IT went for a couple of days at about 40% with absolutely no problem, 
then , suddenly it went nuts again...


Is it possible fluxuation in local electrical ooomph (thinking due to
what others are using in my ancient building, or electrical work being 
done recently outside.) is responsible?


Anyway, I'm hoping I dont have to replace this for a while...

Re: OT: High Performance Laptops

2012-09-15 Thread Igor Roshchin


Tom,

I also think that SSD and RAM would be more important than the fastest
CPU. The former would speed up loading photos and improve responsiveness
of Photoshop/LR in general. CPU would noticeably help (but still marginally
IMHO) when you ask LR to export a bunch of photos or a web-gallery.
That's where chrunching power speeds things up.


I think I didn't mention why I would consider a desktop - that's the
flexibility of upgrades. While the computer life cycle seemingly became
shorter, I still think a desktop life cycle can be extended for longer.
Also you gain flexibility of choosing the display which is uncoupled
from the choice of the computer itself.
This arguments are relevant when you are talking about large-size
laptops (17+) that are heaving and only marginally mobile.
Personally, I prefer smaller-display laptops that are light and portable
(12-13 max).

However, if you still want a 17+, here yet another lead/pointer for you:
http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/alienware-m18x/30910.aspx
(I didn't look into details - there are too many options there...)

have you tried clearing dust out from the cooling vents? you can use something 
like a Giottos Rocket or a vacuum that doubles as a blower; this could let it 
cool itself more efficiently, and is a good practice even if it doesn't solve 
this particular problem


also, it sounds like you've got it well correlated to the monitor's brightness 
setting, but perhaps that's coincidental and there's a heat-related problem 
with the video card in your computer; in other words, check your computer for 
dust too

Re: No Pentax K mount for new Tamron 70-200/2.8 lens

2012-09-15 Thread Darren Addy
It does appear that people are happier with the AT-X Pro but I
haven't figured out what  specifications differences there are between
PRO and a non-PRO Tokina AT-X. I've seen the SD designation on both
the PRO and the Non-Pro.

In any event, a lot of people don't seem to get the difference between
chromatic aberration of the lens and purple fringing which most
people agree is caused my the microlenses on the sensor. Thus, I get
kind of tired of hearing that this lens causes this or that, without
also knowing what sensor you are putting the lens in front of.

I also think that some people use a lens in improper conditions. An
f2.8 zoom in this range is probably meant for low-light conditions or
when you are trying to boost your shutter speed to freeze action. If
you are shooting indoors with it, I doubt you get purple fringing. If
you are shooting on a cloudy day, I doubt you get purple fringing. If
you aim it at bare tree branches on a sunny cloudless day at f2.8 (or
there abouts) then I'll bet you get some purple fringing. Mike
Johnston calls this stressing a lens
http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/how-to-stress-a-camera-le.html
But it still isn't really (probably) being caused by the lens, but by
the bleeding of information at the sensor level.

I'm afraid your monitor is just getting near the time when it's going to 
fail. Is it a CRT or flat panel?


I did have a flat panel (on a laptop) that did something like you are 
describing and it ended up being a device similar to the starter on a 
fluorescent lamp that had failed. That one was a fairly cheap repair.


But other issues I've had with flat panel displays were just not 
economically repairable. They could be fixed, but the estimated cost was 
greater than buying a replacement.


I don't know where I would take a CRT to be repaired. All of the places 
I used in the past have gone out of business.

have you tried clearing dust out from the cooling vents? you can use
something like a Giottos Rocket or a vacuum that doubles as a blower;
this could let it cool itself more efficiently, and is a good practice
even if it doesn't solve this particular problem

also, it sounds like you've got it well correlated to the monitor's
brightness setting, but perhaps that's coincidental and there's a
heat-related problem with the video card in your computer; in other
words, check your computer for dust too

Well it is a puzzlement...

I'm able to adjust the monitor to 50% and work for hours with nothing
amiss, when something hoovers, I decrease the brightness. sometimes it
starts flickering wildly even at 20% brightness.

I can increase brightness for a short period of time to get closer to
what I think others see before it flickers.

IT went for a couple of days at about 40% with absolutely no problem,
then , suddenly it went nuts again...

Is it possible fluxuation in local electrical ooomph (thinking due to
what others are using in my ancient building, or electrical work being
done recently outside.) is responsible?

Anyway, I'm hoping I dont have to replace this for a while...

ann


I'm afraid your monitor is just getting near the time when it's going to
fail. Is it a CRT or flat panel?

I did have a flat panel (on a laptop) that did something like you are
describing and it ended up being a device similar to the starter on a
fluorescent lamp that had failed. That one was a fairly cheap repair.

But other issues I've had with flat panel displays were just not
economically repairable. They could be fixed, but the estimated cost was
greater than buying a replacement.

I don't know where I would take a CRT to be repaired. All of the places
I used in the past have gone out of business.

Paul, with all due respect this is basically what you've said for the

When Pentax does finally come out with it, you're among the first to
jump on the bandwagon and sing its praises.

I remember you asking why anyone would need more than a 6MP DSLR when
I was complaining about the fact that's all Pentax was churning out.

The fact that they don't have a FF DSLR yet has led to my defection,
and I've been shooting for years. The D800E is expensive but doable at
less than half the cost of their prior FF DSLR in the category.
There's a huge selection of lenses, and I'll have double the base
resolution of anything Pentax has to offer. In addition, the D800/E
does appear to have excellent low-light capability (I realize you're
probably referring to the D600), and it'll have the superior AF.

Actually the REST of the world does care. Evidence is the fact that

And for nine or ten years I've been right.

 If Pentax doesn't have it, why would one need it?
 When Pentax does finally come out with it, you're among the first to
 jump on the bandwagon and sing its praises.

I've been an early adapter on APS-C cameras and lenses. Don't think I'll go for 
full frame right away. It will depend a lot on the lens lineup and 
compatibility with the DA* 60-250, my workhorse.

 
 I remember you asking why anyone would need more than a 6MP DSLR when
 I was complaining about the fact that's all Pentax was churning out.

I don't recall saying that, but there's much I don't recall. Apparently, you 
pay more attention to what I've said than i do!  IN any case, Pentax wasn't 
stuck at 6 for very long.

You've bought a D800E? Or you're just thinking about it. I thought about it 
when I had problems with Pentax repair, but they made it right and sent me a 
new camera. I just don't want to see APS-C development abandoned in favor of a 
format that has little lens support.
 
 Actually the REST of the world does care. Evidence is the fact that
 the two largest DSLR manufacturers have multiple FF bodies and have
 had for years.

But Pentax isn't ready to compete on their level. If they can muscle up both a 
camera and lens lineup in full frame, more power to them. But I still don't see 
it.

Re: Best FF Pentax Rumour Story EVER!!!!!!

2012-09-15 Thread Darren Addy
I think the automotive manufacturer analogy is probably the most
appropriate. Some manufacturers like to be in *every* market, from the
inexpensive subcompact up to the full-size pickup. But a lot of auto
manufacturers make a good living by excluding some markets. If you
want a pickup, you have to get one from a manufacturer who makes one.
Some companies stick with a core competency until they build a
sufficient reputation (and sales) which allows for expansion into
other markets. Some continue to restrict themselves to only certain
markets.

Some of us might remember many years ago when Honda made some serious
rust buckets. They were popular cars: Got good gas mileage and good
reliability, but had some body integrity issues which they eventually
addressed and soon they hit a couple of models out of the park with
new designs and developed a reputation for quality. Of course, they
still didn't make pickups. Until one day, they did.

Now I don't hang out in the automotive forums, and maybe there were
some people who (before Honda introduced their Ridgeline pickup) got
totally ticked off at Honda for not bringing out a pickup when they
wanted to buy one. And they whined and complained and stamped their
feet about how they were gonna buy Toyota or Ford from now on and how
Honda, as a company, really sucked for not bringing out a pickup. Now
in my opinion, those people can spend their money on whatever they
want, but if they after switching brands hey decided to hang out in a
Honda enthusiast's forum and continue to whine about Honda, I would
really start to wonder about them.

If someone has decided to abandon Pentax for another brand, for
whatever reason, bully for them! But seriously, why would they be
hanging out in a PENTAX DISCUSS Mail List after making that decision,
unless (perhaps) they have an abusive personality and enjoy poking
people with virtual sticks? I speak only for myself here, but if I
find someone urinating in my Cheerios, I consider it to be bad form.

This is precisely where the analogy falls dead flat in my opinion,
removable lens cameras are a system built around compatible cameras
and bodies, I think brand is moot but for a few loyalists.

I personally couldn't give a hoot who makes the body that's compatible
with my lenses, I lost my loyalty to Pentax some time ago. If the
D800E was Pentax mount compatible I would have one now. I have a big
kit of old and new lenses (mainly 3rd party now) of which many are
24x36mm frame capable and I would like a body to suit.

PESO - Music Stand

2012-09-15 Thread jn289
I went into a thrift store today to take a look and I found this 
music stand for $4.00. I thought in the store that this would be 
great for a small light stand for a flash, but not for a  big White 
Lighting. This would be used for a wall light or something on that 
order, or even a hair light. This is the third or fourth one that I 
have now. Another thing I liked about it, it is black. anyway here is 
two photos of it.
It stands up around five feet..So Larry and whoever else, get your 
brains working as to how you will use it to hold a flash to light 
whatever. When you get one to play with, get rid of the part for 
holding the sheet music.. Joe
