RE: PESO Granny Smith
Good shot. My wife's K100D (the hand-me-down camera as she calls it) has that lens. It is very versatile, esp for travel. Ocassionally she (I used to) gets a soft shot but not often. The Sigma 18-250 on my K5 is similar. Zero complaints from either of us. It will be a while yet before I reach the limits of my photo gear, so not knashing my teeth about the future of Pentax.

Before I knew it, I was walking out with two fairly nice pneumatic-type light stands, two Studio Systems SPS920 AC studio strobes (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/246869-REG/SP_Studio_Systems_SPS920_9 20_AC_Strobe_Series.html), two umbrellas (white and black) and a 6' flash sync cable. I went in expecting to spend about $50-$75 and ended up spending $200. I feel like I got a pretty damned good deal, though. It was a display setup, of which the carrying bag had faded on one side from sitting in direct sun in the storefront window. I really couldn't afford it, but I felt like I couldn't afford to let the opportunity pass. Everything seems to be of reasonably good build quality, and the strobes/modeling lights all checked out before I left the store with them. Now, if I can just find some good studio space . . . and some extremely hot models. I blame Bruce for all of this, of course. -- Walt -- 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 PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO Ivory silk
Thanks, Aahz. Yeah I compromised between power levels on the poor little AF200 flash and desirable aperture. I'd have preferred deeper DoF but the '200's recycle times become erratic and long at 1:1 output. It recycles in 5 seconds two or three times in a row then inexplicably takes 20 seconds. I wish it would beep when it's ready -- I wish all flashes would do that -- because inside the softbox you have no idea what state it's in.

I guess the only reason I haven't approached him before is that I don't want to impose, or interrupt him while he's working. But, then, every time he has a technical issue with anything electronic, I'm the go-to guy. I just wonder how much I ought to offer in the way of rent, beyond my friendship and relatively meager tech savvy. If I asked him, he'd decline any rent at all. But, I'd prefer to pay a little money for the ability to drop by at odd hours unannounced, so long as I don't disturb his work or sleep. I don't want to turn it into a strictly-business relationship; I'd much rather have a friend. But, at the same time, I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of a friend, or taking him for granted by just popping in whenever the notion strikes and leaving nothing but a Thanks! as I walk out the door. Just about anyone would get sick and tired of that after a while. Any thoughts (and not just Bruce, but anyone else who wants to chime in).

I guess the only reason I haven't approached him before is that I don't want to impose, or interrupt him while he's working. But, then, every time he has a technical issue with anything electronic, I'm the go-to guy. I just wonder how much I ought to offer in the way of rent, beyond my friendship and relatively meager tech savvy. If I asked him, he'd decline any rent at all. But, I'd prefer to pay a little money for the ability to drop by at odd hours unannounced, so long as I don't disturb his work or sleep. I don't want to turn it into a strictly-business relationship; I'd much rather have a friend. But, at the same time, I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of a friend, or taking him for granted by just popping in whenever the notion strikes and leaving nothing but a Thanks! as I walk out the door. Just about anyone would get sick and tired of that after a while. Any thoughts (and not just Bruce, but anyone else who wants to chime in). If you were in Canada I'd say pay him with beer and toques. How about a semi-formal contra arrangement? Try to assign a value to your handyman work and track the hours you put in. *And* bring beer. Specifically to Bruce: I gather the flat black side would be used for a backdrop? You _could_, but the usual purpose is to exclude/absorb light. If you are doing a low-key shot, eg a formal portrait or figure study, you want to carefully control light onto your subject. Placing two black surfaces to either side will avoid unwanted side light. Two 4x8's taped together along their long edge is known as a V-flat (it's self-standing too). Usually white/black but silver/black is more efficient for lower power light sources. If you point the open end of a V-flat (silver side in) at a subject and aim your flash into it, it becomes an enormous umbrella capable of lighting a group. -- -bmw -- 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.

Always loved that image. Had night idea the drawing was based on a photo.

I prefer buying through *local* stores because it takes care of the sales tax at the time of purchase so I don't have to screw with the internet sales tax when I pay my taxes next year. It may not make a lot of sense to some, but that internet sales tax just pisses me off, and any time I can avoid it by buying local, I will. I don't need the built in amplifier because I want to drive the speaker with an old blackface Fender Bassman head. I phoned back to the salesman asked if he could get his manager to contact the manager at the Florida branch make sure the right one is being shipped to me. As it turns out, the Florida store currently has both G27 G37 in stock at the same price now I'm not sure which one is headed my way?
