Re: OT - Camera Store X100s and X20 Hands On Field Test
On 15 March 2013 00:01, Zos Xavius zosxav...@gmail.com wrote: I watched that. I like the design of those cameras. The xpro is kind of really sexy in a way, BUT I really don't like the xtrans sensor. What don't you like about it? Its colour? its size? Or is there something technical about it that you don't like? The k-5 is better in certain ways and better at high iso too. There are also still problems with lightroom and quite honestly I do not like that fuji over reports iso by a half stop to make their camera look better in comparisons. The k-5 IIs comparisons I've seen show that they both resolve similar levels of detail, but I believe the IIs edges it out and is almost comparable to the 5dmk2 in terms of resolving power. No weather proofing or shake reduction either. Bummer. I know the longer lenses feature IS, but my k-5 has it with every lens I mount. Fine. If that's important to you, then it's not the camera for you. If you want something that's small, light and takes a wide range of old MF lenses then, in my opinion the X-Pro 1 is a great candidate. I think I still vastly prefer a dslr ovf to a rangefinder too. Last time I looked it wasn't a rangefinder. Just checked; it still isn't. It's an autofocus mirrorless with a superb optical viewfinder and the option of a pretty good OVF too. Different strokes. Nice street camera though if they ever get the af to dslr like speeds. AF speed is fine for me. And anyway, it's still possible to set a hyperfocal distance and shoot happily all day without worrying. That's what I've been Doing with my MF Pentax 28 2.8 and I'm quite happy with it.

Re: FILM SLR ISO / ASA vs DSLR ISO
I still shoot iSO 400 film, and in terms of exposure values, it's virtually identical to ISO 400 on my K-5. Perhaps you're shooting at different shutter speeds and/or stops?

Re: FILM SLR ISO / ASA vs DSLR ISO
Of course it's important to note that Tri-X at a stop or even 1.5 stops underexposed can still yield a pretty good image, since we're working with a negative. With the positive of a digital camera, we need to be pretty much right on. It's more like shooting transparency film.

Re: FILM SLR ISO / ASA vs DSLR ISO
Do a test with your cameras. Use an incident light meter to shoot a grayscale, a color swatch, and a tri-tone test target on ASA 400 slide film, setting the exposure 100% manually. Set the camera to meter and set the exposure automatically too. Then do the same thing with your digital camera, setting it to produce 'normal' or 'standard' JPEG output. Differences on the incident light meter exposures will tell you how the ISO calibration differs. Differences on the camera metering tells you how the metering calibrations differ. The results should look the same on the incident meter exposures and will likely differ on the cameras' meter exposures. Most digital camera meters are calibrated to protect from highlight saturation by underexposure as digital sensors 'hard clip' at saturation. Film has a softer roll-off at the point of blocking up highlights, even slide film. Once you understand how the characteristics of your digital and film cameras' metering calibration differ, the rest should be mostly obvious.

Re: PESO: Reading at the Beach
I understand your disappointment, Bob. I was on the grass over the beach waiting to photograph yet another Maui Sunset (a daily ritual on the Valley Isle). I noticed this person ignoring the setting sun,and ignoring the sunset watchers. At first, I could not tell whether the reader was a man or woman, because of the attire and the hat. That was one of the things that drew my attention. When some noisy children ran by, the reader looked up, and I could see he was a man. Look, even in Maui, not everyone is buff and sexy. They even permit old dudes like me on the beach, provided we wear board shorts instead of Speedos. G I intended this as a slice of life image, in my beach photography series. This year, iPads and Kindles far outnumbered books of real paper, making him even more of an outlier, and an individual. I'll try to find more images of pretty young women for future postings.

OT Q: pen for signing on inkjet paper?
Advice solicited: I want to sign a print I'm selling, discretely on the front below the image (ie in the white border). So I need a grey or silver fine-point pen that will write indelibly on Epson Satin Photographic 240 GSM inkjet paper. I bought a silver Pilot Super Color Extra Fine pen yesterday and tested on some scraps, but even after 18 hours of drying it easily smears. I really like the look of it -- not too contrasty and bold like a black pen would be. Would some pencil work? I'm sure a Sharpie would work for the indelible part, but they have too fat a tip, and I don't think grey is available. Seems such a simple thing: sign a print. Sigh.

Re: Days end at he farm
I totally get what you're going for here, Don. Back lit, as on my screen, foreground detail is available. However, I can't imaging a print being visually successful, even close up. That's my guess anyway, but as is all too common, I'm likely way wrong.

Re: Stay on the f***ing bus
From: Zos Xavius I read that article the other day. A nice read. I've always seen photography as a mountain I am climbing. I use that thought often. I've come a long way in 5+ years of shooting almost religiously every day. I could spend a lifetime trying to reach the top. It keeps me going, knowing that everything I do just gets better. I've been in several ruts, but when I put the camera down, the only cure to the depression is to pick it back up again and keep shooting. When I die, you'll probably find me still clutching my faithful companion. Hopefully there will be at least good shot or two on the card. Its all I can leave behind.

OT Q: pen for signing on inkjet paper?
From: Bruce Walker Advice solicited: I want to sign a print I'm selling, discretely on the front below the image (ie in the white border). So I need a grey or silver fine-point pen that will write indelibly on Epson Satin Photographic 240 GSM inkjet paper. I bought a silver Pilot Super Color Extra Fine pen yesterday and tested on some scraps, but even after 18 hours of drying it easily smears. I really like the look of it -- not too contrasty and bold like a black pen would be. Would some pencil work? I'm sure a Sharpie would work for the indelible part, but they have too fat a tip, and I don't think grey is available. Seems such a simple thing: sign a print. Sigh. What do you do?

Re: K-5 and over exposure?
Ok. Sorry for quoting you steve. I sometimes forget about that with k9. It doesn't show the quoted text automatically. I'm finding that yeah highlights blow with what it sets a lot. I'm always trying to retain highlights in the jpeg. Very much like what another person said in this thread who's name is now suddenly escaping me. I do use highlight protection a lot too. My k-7 seemed to try to preserve highlights more. Sometimes I feel like my k-5 is exposing for the shadows. My prior experience is all compact cameras/bridge cameras and their live view metering is usually extremely consistent in comparison. The k-7 I got a good feel forthe k-5 seems to want to blow everything. I need to test some more quite honestly. I've been doing lots of low light shooting lately, so I could just be running into operating limits of the meter. Its most likely just this fa 28-80. My 50mm I'm using atm seems to be metering much more predictably, center weighted only and all. steve harley p...@paper-ape.com wrote: on 2013-03-14 14:49 Zos Xavius wrote I see I am not alone.

Re: pen for signing on inkjet paper?
Ken, is your Pilot pen the kind that you have to shake a number of times then pump the tip by pressing it down on some scrap to get the ink flowing? That's what mine requires.

Not me. No way I'd pay over 5K for a lens that someone had cobbled to fit a different mount. And the Sigma that he wants $1100 for? It sells for $800 brand new at Amazon.

Re: pen for signing on inkjet paper?
Ken, is your Pilot pen the kind that you have to shake a number of times then pump the tip by pressing it down on some scrap to get the ink flowing? Yes. I've never used them on Epson Satin though. On the Epson papers I've used the maker on it appears as an additional layer like paint.

Ken, is your Pilot pen the kind that you have to shake a number of times then pump the tip by pressing it down on some scrap to get the ink flowing? That's what mine requires. I wonder if they've changed the formula over time. Or if the Satin Photographic is especially impervious to the ingredients. It just seems to sit on top of the paper and rubs off onto my finger when touched.

Advice solicited: I want to sign a print I'm selling, discretely on the front below the image (ie in the white border). So I need a grey or silver fine-point pen that will write indelibly on Epson Satin Photographic 240 GSM inkjet paper. I bought a silver Pilot Super Color Extra Fine pen yesterday and tested on some scraps, but even after 18 hours of drying it easily smears. I really like the look of it -- not too contrasty and bold like a black pen would be. Would some pencil work? I'm sure a Sharpie would work for the indelible part, but they have too fat a tip, and I don't think grey is available. Seems such a simple thing: sign a print. Sigh.
