Pentax K-30 home-made cable release?
Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone managed to build a home-made variant of the cable release for the Pentax K-30? I've found the following links: http://www.hobbymaker.narod.ru/English/Articles/cable_sw_eng.htm http://poildegris.free.fr/electronique/CS205/ http://www.photosig.com/articles/1088/article http://www.digisniper.com/photography/tutorials/advanced/ However it doesn't seem to work for me... From what I've seen I get 3V voltage between the middle contact and ground (contact A and B in the image below), but no voltage between C and B, or A and B for that matter. (And just coupling A and B doesn't either focus or shot the image, neither does C and B. I haven't tried all three together.) http://www.photosig.com/articles/1088/CS-205-schema.gif Any hints here? Thanks, Ciprian. P.S.: Initially I've sent this email to the Pentax users mailing list (Yahoo), but so far no answers (granted since yesterday), and I hope I have more luck on this one. :) -- 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.

PESO - Nightshot - American Pie
Okay, I took a stab at night photography of the local oil refinery. I used a tripod, remote, 2 second timer setting, shot in manual, ISO 100, f/11, and 1/4 a second (lower than that I wasn't getting enough light). And I found my best results were right before it got really dark. But they came out not very sharp (although I used a good lens). As I drove away I realized I forgot to turn off the lens IS (I used a Canon). So I guess I have to try again with it off and see if I do better. http://mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/pie.html Any suggestions about what different f stops, etc. to use for a better result, please feel free to let me know.

Re: PESO - Nightshot - American Pie
I like it, Marnie. Great subject to experiment with. I'm guessing that the sky/subject light mix might be better a little later than this, before the sky goes quite black, so I'd try even longer shutter times.

Re: This is stupefying.
Well, the package arrived and I made a video of the unboxing. Then I contacted Pentax Imaging and recorded the chat session via video. (I typed out everything I wanted to say first in Notepad so I could quickly copy and paste it). So I'm fully documented all the way around. : ) Here's what I got: A genuine Pentax K-5 II with 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR **BOX** with the lens removed and warranty card removed. Everything else was there in new condition, and I had the Serial Number Card for the K-5II 18-135WR Kit. Interestingly, the Pentax box was damaged pretty significantly on the side that held the 18-135mm lens. I would suggest that there are places that buy new damaged box goods from retailers at a substantial discount. They maximize their profit by splitting up the goods and selling them separately. What I ordered is in flawless shape. Took two exposures and the shutter count is revealed as 2. So I contacted Pentax Imaging and used their Live Chat window. Got a Matthew P. as my rep. What I said: Hi Matthew. Hello, I purchased a NEW K-5 II body from Amazon and I was excited to see it arrive today. When I opened the box, it contained what I purchased but came in a Pentax box labeled K-5 II and DA 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 AL [IF] DC WR. There was no lens in the box, meaning that I did get what I ordered. The body appears new and the shutter count was at 1 on my first exposure. However, there was no WARRANTY CARD inside the package. I did get a Serial Number card that appears to have had something torn off (perforations at the top and bottom). The serial number is 4668328 and the number beneath the bar code is 4668328220607. It is for a K-5II 18-135WR KIT. I have never had a problem with any of the previous Pentax cameras or lenses that I have purchased (K200D, K-x, K-5) but the lack of a warranty card is troubling. Is there some way that I can still register it and get it covered under warranty? His answer: Matthew P: I would return it. Id change retailers. But, yes, as long as you have a copy of the proof of purchase, you're covered under warranty. You do not need a warranty card Darren Addy: USA warranty? Matthew P: Yes Matthew P: 1 year from the date of purchase Darren Addy: So if I have a problem, who do I contact? (Just to be clear) Matthew P: Pentax Technical Support @ 800-877-0155. Or get into chat. We're here Mon-Fri 9:30AM-6:30PM Eastern Standard Time. Matthew P: Contact us! Darren Addy: OK. Thank you very much, matthew. I will warn people from this retailer. Thx! So consider yourself warned. For my part, I'm happy with the deal I got. My main concerns were: 1) Is it really new, 2) Does it come with everything it should, 3) Am I covered by a USA Pentax warranty. Since the answers to all are yes I'm going to keep it. It seems pretty amazing to get a K-5 II for over $160 LESS than I got my K-5 body about 1 year ago.

Hi Alan,
Yes it was a great show run by a large team of dedicated enthusiasts
and too close (less than 100km away) for me to not make the effort to
get too. The day was well woth it and though the gallery is far from
an artistic endeavor it remains interesting from a historical

Re: This is stupefying.
You may also be aware of the Pentax Two-Year Extended Warranty for the K5, K5-II, K5-IIs, KR, K-30, K-01 Digital SLR Cameras available for $20 from BH or Adorama. (I wasn't or I would have bought one before now!) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/753276-REG/Pentax_80227_Two_Year_Extended_Warranty_for.html The dpreview thread I linked to above also had this bit of info when someone wondered if buying from a non-authorized retailer might be a problem: I spoke to Randy at Pentax this morning and he said there wouldn't be an issue if it is sold through Amazon. They are recognized as an authorized dealer even if it is sold by a third party. In addition, he said I could buy the two year extended warranty from BH and the camera from Amazon so that is what I will be doing today. $20.00 to extend the warranty for two years is worth it in my book So I plan on getting that, as well. The warranty must be purchased within 30 days of the camera. -D On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 10:43 AM, Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com wrote: Well, the package arrived and I made a video of the unboxing.

Re: Pentax K-30 home-made cable release?

Ok.

One detail that I forgot to mention to Aahz regarding lens sharpness is that almost any decent lens is going to be nice and sharp in the f/8-f/11 range. So it is important to use lenses where they are the strongest. I suspect that my DA35 macro is a lot sharper than the 18-250 at 35mm and f/4.

Re: PESO - Nightshot - American Pie II
I feel like the overall image is too dark. The lights are nothing but spots. If they were to illuminate the structure here and there, edge sharpness would very likely be apparent. Using a small aperture would produce a star effect, but add only to the impression of sharp.

I used a tripod, remote, 2 second timer setting, shot in manual, ISO 100, f/11, and 1/4 a second (lower than that I wasn't getting enough light). And I found my best results were right before it got really dark. But they came out not very sharp (although I used a good lens). As I drove away I realized I forgot to turn off the lens IS (I used a Canon). So I guess I have to try again with it off and see if I do better. http://mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/pie.html Any suggestions about what different f stops, etc. to use for a better result, please feel free to let me know.

Re: PESO - Nightshot - American Pie II
I like it. The yellow bits of light against deep blue are appealing. Paul via phone On May 14, 2013, at 6:40 PM, knarftheria...@gmail.com knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: I think it's wonderful. Not too dark to my eye, the inky sky looks about right and sets off the lights nicely. Nice composition.

I was just disappointed with what I felt was a lack of sharpness. Or not as sharp as I was hoping for.

Peso - Cotty, the model
couldn't resist this - I had taken a walk downdown to the south street seaport, which is still pretty much not in operation. Not exactly the first peso after surgery I imagined I'd show but... http://annsan.smugmug.com/On-the-Road-or-On-Foot/2012-and-all-that/21847075_D88Ngw/1/2513188487_WgLJDBp/Large ann -- 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.
