Re: GESO: CLUB 60
Looks like a good fun way to spend a day :) I have my first marathon coming up on the 2nd of June and my training program is ramping up pretty well at the moment. I won't be doing it fast as it's only preparation for my second marathon next January. I've heard about the Comrades Marathon. I think it's featured in one of the extreme running books I have. I remember thinking the Big Five Marathon would be good fun. Nothing like lions to put the spring back into your legs :) Cheers, Dave On Apr 29, 2013, at 2:07 AM, Alan C c...@lantic.net wrote: South Africans are fixated on Ultra-Marathons - we learn to run far rather than fast.

Re: GESO: CLUB 60
Good luck for the 2nd June, Dave - same day as Comrades. The Big Five from Hoedspruit to Swadini was sponsored by Kapama Game Farm organised by the Air Force Club. The whole area is game farms. I measured the route ran a couple of those but, sadly, it is no more. BTW, my younger brother now lives in Whangerai. He also ran a few Comrades.

I also have a blown metz flash that needs sent in right now and thats another 160 I don't have at the moment. It still worked fine for months until now. I never had any real issues other than the bent ring that I replaced and that was the only thing that seemed wrong. The lcd screen is a little scratchy, but heck pentax sells replacements so they can't fault me for that too much. I was just curious if anyone was ever in the same boat as me on this list. If they want $400 to replace the sensor, I'm probably out of luck at this moment in time. I've seen some other pentax cameras, and I get the feeling that pentaxians can be a bit hard on their gear. I try to never drop cameras, but disasters happen as I've sadly learned.

The ring bent and my 12-24 had its mount broken. I want to kill the designer that thought putting a quick release button right next to the ball release button was a good idea. It was dark. Bad move. Still the camera worked fine after that for 4-5 months afterwards and took easily 10,000 more pictures. I took the ring off my k-7 and swapped it to the k-5 when I discovered that the ring was actually the cause of my softness issues. They went away with a good straight ring. It looks like the circuitry of the sensor is failing. You'd think that if I damaged it somehow it would immediately cause me problems.

That could easily be the cause of your problems, and it's unacceptable in any case. If the camera looks beat up, you will probably have to pay for the repairs. If I dropped a camera, and it landed hard enough to cause physical damage, I would want it checked out and repaired whether the warrantee applied or not. No offense, but it sounds like placing the blame on you wouldn't be unreasonable. Good luck with this. I've found CRIS to be reasonable and helpful. Hope for the best, but don't count on it.

I had to take the bent k-mount ring from my k-7 and replace it with the good one from the k-5. So it has a bent ring on it too. I'd hate to send this in and end up with a $400 bill because I don't think dropping the camera 4-5 months ago caused the problem I'm having now after at least another 10k actuations. -- 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. -- 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. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the

OT: Drive question.
I've tried to get an answer about this on a number of fora but so far nothing helpful has come my way. I finally upgraded my desktop to WinXP. I was getting tired of having to Hack Win2K to get new software and hardware to work properly so when I had my last primary hard drive failure I decided to join the first decade of the 21st century, but I've run into a problem. Most every time I attempt to search my system for a file the OS locks up. I have an insane amount of storage for this box, 5TB in internal and external drives but then I had an insane amount of storage on the Win2K installantion as well, and that didn't hang up on a search. So I'm at a loss. I've tested all the drives and they check out fine, I've run all the Windows, and a number of three party tests on the file structure of each drive and they all check out. I'm not sure where to look at this point. I know there are computer geeks on the list who know more than I do about hardware problems than I do, and probably a number who have dealt with OS problems that I've never seen.

A failing k-5 sensor? oh no!
Zos, you swapped the good ring (lens mount) from the K-7. Can you do the same for the bottom plate? If not, order a Bottom Plate, as changing it is very easy. Do buy a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) MOODY, made in the USA, Screwdriver Set for $ 16 from Amazon com. The cheap Philips Cross Point is not the right screwdriver. As for the scratched LCD Screen, it can be polished using Fine Grit Turtle Shell Car Polishing Compound. This is labor intensive work as it has to be done gently. Use masking tape to cover the area around the LCD Screen. Since the camera ( the sensor) worked fine after the fall, it will be safer smarter to send in a good looking gear, so that CRIS will have little or no excuse for refusing warranty repair. Better to play it safe. Good Luck. Regards.

Re: OT: Drive question.
I had to slipstream an XP installation to get the proper drivers for the hardware which kept XP from installing, (I didn't have any problem with W2K but that's another story). When I built the slipstream installation I included SP3. The failure is interesting. A subset of directories, usually completes with no problems, but occasionally hangs requiring a reboot. An entire drive almost always hangs before completion, and searching the entire computer, hangs every single time. The first thing to happen is the actual search Window will stop responding, but any other open folder window responds until I try to do anything useful then that one stops responding. Finally the desktop freezes, (it reminds me of software development back in the Win 2.0/3.x days when you could tell how you'd trashed the interrupt table based on how he UI failed). However any dos console open continues to work properly, any non Microsoft software works until it attempts disk access, (I sent my previous message from the machine after it had frozen, and I had an XXCopy backup run to successful conclusion). The machine responds to the three finger salute and opens the task manager to allow a more or less controlled shutdown. On 4/29/2013 1:46 PM, Aahz Maruch wrote: On Mon, Apr 29, 2013, P.J.

Thanks Aahz, As I mentioned a bit earlier in the thread I was lazy and have currently only used the in camera jpgs to assemble the pano (as is the case normally so I don't waste time trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear using huge files), so I suspect that using optimised images (from RAW) I will get a much better result re dynamics plus it will be much larger as I always have my in camera jpg engine set to deliver 2MP files. I have shot lots of panos, some worked some didn't but often it's a surprise because expectations are either exceeded or are found to have been very over estimated. I've probably only shot ten or so panos that I could print large and be really pleased with. So I'm glad this one worked as well as it did becasue the trip was unplanned, the location was a last minute decision (literally) and I really took far less care than I would in a situation where I had set out initially to capture a pano.

They eat all the flowers and shrubs that are not protected by fencing or netting. They especially lot to eat tulips and roses, but they eat almost anything else as well. All daffodils contain a bitter poison called lycorine. Deer therefore leave them alone. As a result, for the past several years, I have planted daffodils in my yard, to create spring color that will not become deer fodder. This gallery illustrates most of the daffodils I could locate in the yard this week. A few varieties are already past bloom, while a few others are late bloomers, and are not here, but this gives a good idea of what is out there at the present time. http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=1052605 Comments are invited.

I also have a blown metz flash that needs sent in right now and thats another 160 I don't have at the moment. It still worked fine for months until now. I never had any real issues other than the bent ring that I replaced and that was the only thing that seemed wrong. The lcd screen is a little scratchy, but heck pentax sells replacements so they can't fault me for that too much. I was just curious if anyone was ever in the same boat as me on this list. If they want $400 to replace the sensor, I'm probably out of luck at this moment in time. I've seen some other pentax cameras, and I get the feeling that pentaxians can be a bit hard on their gear. I try to never drop cameras, but disasters happen as I've sadly learned.

The ring bent and my 12-24 had its mount broken. I want to kill the designer that thought putting a quick release button right next to the ball release button was a good idea. It was dark. Bad move. Still the camera worked fine after that for 4-5 months afterwards and took easily 10,000 more pictures. I took the ring off my k-7 and swapped it to the k-5 when I discovered that the ring was actually the cause of my softness issues. They went away with a good straight ring. It looks like the circuitry of the sensor is failing. You'd think that if I damaged it somehow it would immediately cause me problems.

That could easily be the cause of your problems, and it's unacceptable in any case. If the camera looks beat up, you will probably have to pay for the repairs. If I dropped a camera, and it landed hard enough to cause physical damage, I would want it checked out and repaired whether the warrantee applied or not. No offense, but it sounds like placing the blame on you wouldn't be unreasonable. Good luck with this. I've found CRIS to be reasonable and helpful. Hope for the best, but don't count on it.

I had to take the bent k-mount ring from my k-7 and replace it with the good one from the k-5. So it has a bent ring on it too.
