Re: AF280T Failure

Close objects are blown at even iso 100 and f8. Bummer. Just as I was about to go out and shoot an event. Joy. I could go with the onboard flash, but I think I will just stay home now. I've really had no luck with flashes lately. Every one I have bought has either blown up or failed in some way a short time later. Its probably time to bite the bullet and send my metz 54 in. At least I can have something reliable again. Oh photoshoots coming up too. So what's the cheapest half decent flash I can buy on the cheap? Old vivitars? A couple of years ago I found myself away from home for a week or two and in need of a flashgun. The local camera shop found an old vivitar manual flash in a backroom somewhere and let me have it for peanuts (groan). It cost practically nothing, has a tilt/swivel head and guide number of about 28. Same kind of dimensions as an af280t, but I can't remember the model number. Definitely a good investment if you can find something like it.

Re: PESO - Michigan Green
That looks very nice. I like the way you've cloned out the nuclear waste recycling factory, the sewage filtration plant and the surgical waste incinerator and replaced them with grass, flowers and trees. To complete the picture you need some happy, attractive children with only one head each running around on the lawn, and the buyers will come flooding in. D'oh! I mentioned the flooding!

Re: ELLIE PANO
Thanks Zos. I only migrated to digital last year. I have an FA 28-80 a 100-300, carry overs from a Z70 which suffered terminal mirror failure (that little plastic gear which splits). Still have a functional ME super. I found a cheap 2nd hand K110D body to go on with (new Pentax stuff costs a fortune in SA), but have a K7 (ex Mark Cassino) on the way. My daughter will bring it in Sept. The 28-80 is a bit soft at bigger apertures but the 100-300 seems very good to me. The zebra shot was taken with the same lens at 160mm. I have several older lenses too but will wait for the K7 to properly evaluate them. I don't really mind MF I find calculating the exposure is a good mental exercise.

Re: PESO (kind of) - Solving a Focus Problem
I don't know that there is a real problem with either the lens or the body. I'll be doing a little more testing when I have some more time but of 3 lenses and 2 bodies, all of the lenses are fine on the first body. 2 of the lenses are fine on the second body. Only the one lens needs a relatively strong correction on the second body. Since the correction is within the range of the customization of the body it's hard to say that anything is really wrong. It sounds like the body may be within it's tolerance range in once direction and the lens is within it's tolerance range in the other direction. I still want to do a little more testing but the photos are coming our fine now, and that is the ultimate test. gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 6:32 PM, Aahz Maruch a...@pobox.com wrote: On Mon, Jul 08, 2013, George Sinos wrote: I was getting soft results with my 24-70mm lens on one body and excellent results on another.

Re: Any new flagship camera rumors?
From: Bill anotherdrunken...@gmail.com On 19/07/2013 2:01 PM, Tom C wrote: I also agree that the legacy lens advantage is pretty much non-existent. It's interesting that you should say that, and kind of ironic in a way. The reason why legacy lenses are not an advantage is because they are less convenient to use (manual focus, green button kludge, etc), and yet people happily go out and buy adapters to put legacy lenses onto their cameras from other brands. Look at the number of adapters you can get to put legacy glass onto 4/3 cameras. I suspect that every brand ever made can now be mounted to a 4/3 camera via an adapter. I bought an adapter to allow mounting K-mount glass onto my Q, and, being the not so bright person that I am, did exactly the same thing when I bought my Fuji. And you know what? It's a pain in the ass. Sure, the thing mounts, and you can take a picture with it if you want to go to the effort, but why bother? I could almost see it if you had a bunch of Canon FD lenses around, as it would be a way to put them to use again, since Canon decided their user base was a liability in the mid 1980s and abandoned them, but really, if you have an ability to mount the lens to a camera that it is compatible with, just mount it to that camera. Putting an A series lens onto my K5 means I lose a bit of functionality, mounting it onto my Fuji or my Q takes me from functionality loss to wanting to slash my wrists to make the misery go away. Even using an older non A series lens on the K5 is easier than on the Fuji or Q. I would say that as long as there is a market for adapters to mix and match brands of lenses onto other makers' cameras, the advantage of legacy lenses exists to a reasonable extent, though it won't be apparent to a new user who just bought his first DSLR and kit lens. bill Irony is one of the few things I'm good at Bill. My statement was made largely from the narrow perspective that Pentax legacy lens support on new Pentax bodies is not an advantage for Pentax in that basically all DSLR mfrs. can justifiably claim the same. I almost never used my MF Pentax lenses on my AF bodies. The same can be true of the Sony NEX-7 (except I use the FA 100/2.8 macro on it occasionally as I don't want to spend the money for a macro lens, and the Sony e-mount offering is ridiculously short... 30mm).. I suppose that's largely because of the convenience of AF, and the other reasons you mention. That said, I bought a Nikon 50mm AIS something or other, that will will work on both the D800E and the NEX-7 via adapter. If one shoots MF, the 'focus feel' of an MF lens is generally better and the aperture ring is nice. I suppose the advantage of using legacy glass is debatable but it's largely a matter of: 1. If you already have the lens 2. If you can acquire a lens far cheaper than otherwise 3. One can mix/match mfrs. As you allude to, the above are advantages only if one feels they don't outweigh the inherent disadvantages or possibly if one largely shoots in manual focus mode.

Re: Geso A gallery from the plow demo
That was actually a mid 20th century development, Kerosine was used as a lamp oil, for heating, and cooking, so it was available, and it's price didn't include a road tax in addition to being less expensive to produce. I believe the tractor had a dual fuel system, it was started using gasoline, then once it had warmed up sufficiently to keep the kerosine warm in a preheating chamber so that it could be ignited by a spark plug the fuel was switched. Economically it's the equvelent of running a Diesel engine on home heating oil, except the system is actually designed for it, and it's probably legal.

Re: Geso A gallery from the plow demo
So after I posted this, I got to thinking, the tractor in question looked a lot earlier than mid 20th century. In fact more like from the teens or twenties. There were a lot of web sites that postulated that it and it's type were prediesel designs but both diesel and gasoline tractors had been around since at least the late 1890's. I'm not sure if that particular tractor used the dual system, if it didn't it must have been a bear to start. On 7/21/2013 12:44 PM, P.J.

Ok, why does it do that?
Now that I've got the list coming in directly to Thunderbird (via Yahoo), I've made a filter that puts all PDML into a PDML folder. Seems to be working great. In the PDML folder, I tried sorting by subject. Works ok, but ... It doesn't quite group all the same subject together in one place? Case in point - I see two replies to Larry's post Re: PESO Down by the seashore. Then I work my way down through several more groups of subjects replies and lo behold, there's Larry's original post PESO Down by the seashore and then several more replies.

Re: OT it's getting rumbly again
Heard about it on NPR news (Sunday noon EDT) was going to post a query whether y'all were doing alright. Good to hear you're hanging in there. Hope it will go away again without too much heartbreak. NPR said it was swarm - this was either the 5th earthquake in a week with greater than magnitude 4.0 or that there have been 5 greater than 4.0 before this one. The story said it had broken water mains/sewers other minor damage, but no reported casualties. Oh, and the scientists don't know why you're getting a swarm now, which I took to mean they don't know whether this is a precursor of something to come or more aftereffects from the last one. Anyway, it's good to hear that you're safe for now. Stay that way. On 7/21/2013 1:40 AM, David Mann wrote: During the past few days there has been a spate of earthquakes just southwest of our capital city, Wellington. They've been fairly small, up to mid-5 in magnitude, but they had a 6.5 earlier this afternoon which might just about be big enough to make the news. It's been reported in our local news site as a 6.8 but GNS have since revised it to 6.5. I haven't heard any reports of damage or casualties but I don't anticipate much. I actually felt it here but it was very subtle. It took about 2 minutes to get here :) I'm hoping they don't get anything much bigger than that but if our country falls off the face of the earth soon you'll know why. There's a long history of seismicity in that area with major ones in 1848, 1855, and a couple in 1942.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
Be careful not to spoil the light-tightness of the end caps you're good to go. I've got several reusable cartridges that turned out to be old commercial cartridges with a plastic label applied to hide the original artwork. Actually, when I was running the mini-lab I kept several Chinese commercial C-41 cartridges that had plastic labels over the original Fuji film artwork (not just re-badged Fuji film because the underlying cartridges were originally Fujichrome E-6). So they can not only be reused for hand reloading, they were sometimes reused for commercial reloading. Also, the way we processed film at the mini-lab left a VERY short leader sticking out of the cartridge. If you're careful *NOT* to rewind that leader into the cartridge, you don't need to pop the ends off the cartridge. Just tape the end of your bulk film to the leader use it to pull the film into the cartridge. Once you've got a couple of turns on friction will help to keep it from slipping off if the tape doesn't hold. But, if you rewind it lose that leader inside the cartridge, it's not long enough to retrieve with a leader extractor. When I ran the mini-lab we had a big box to throw the old cartridges into. When it filled up it got taped up shipped back to Kodak for recycling. I bet, if you can still find a mini-lab where you are, you could ask and they'd let you take something like a gallon zip lock bag full of used cartridges away with you. Might even let you pick through the box to find the ones the stub leader hasn't been retracted yet. Probably won't even have to ask Pretty Please! One thing about mini-labs. You can take the occasional E-6 in and have it cross processed without hurting their chemistry and you get some really different negatives. But, NEVER, EVER take traditional BW films to a mini-lab. The average mini-lab operator drone won't know what it is they won't know any better than to send it through the C-41 processor. It can mess up their chemistry a little bit (they'll get over it if they even notice), and it will definitely EFF UP your film.

Good to hear you're hanging in there. Hope it will go away again without too much heartbreak. We'll wait and see I suppose. A lot of frayed nerves up there by the sound of it. I certainly wouldn't be sleeping! NPR said it was swarm - this was either the 5th earthquake in a week with greater than magnitude 4.0 or that there have been 5 greater than 4.0 before this one. The story said it had broken water mains/sewers other minor damage, but no reported casualties. That's a pretty good summary. They've shut down the rail network to check it and have closed a couple of streets due to minor building damage (broken glass etc). I think it'll be mostly back to normal tomorrow after everything's been checked out. Oh, and the scientists don't know why you're getting a swarm now, which I took to mean they don't know whether this is a precursor of something to come or more aftereffects from the last one. They tend to be careful in what they say but yes they can never really make predictions on any individual event. One thing they mentioned is that there are a lot of active faults in that area so it's possible that this could trigger another one of those. The latest is that they've given a 10% chance of another 6+ in the next 24 hours.

It's been a long time coming and, realistically, it's unlikely I'll get back again. But, you never know. We passed through Taos on the way to Taos Pueblo.

RE: Bulk Film Loading
Film canister technology seemed to change at some time: when I first started using bulk film (about 1971) even Kodak cartridges could be easily split apart and re-used. Then some time later, it became impossible to get the end off without damaging it, so I kept using some rather battered looking older canisters - just found I still have one, FP4, loaded with blank processed film to test or demonstrate film loading in a camera! My technique in those days was to use a knife blade to pop the end off, seemed to be less damaging than pliers or grips.

Then you are probably the right person to ask this question - can you re-use commercial film canisters? I am somewhat embarrassed to admit this in a public forum but I just developed 2 rolls of Pro-Max 100. Just for the fun of it I tried popping the end of each canister off with just my fingers, no can opener. They came off easily and after the film was spooled I put the canister, center spool and ends back together. Both of them look perfectly serviceable. Did you ever try re-using the actual canister? I don't think this would work with Kodak or Fuji canisters - the end caps on those seem to be held on tight and a can opener is needed to get them off - but who knows about other brands, like UltraFine and Adox etc... If I can reuse the canisters, which normally sell for about $1 each, then the $1.75 per roll I paid for the Pro Max was not a terribly bad deal.

Look at the full-size version of the panorama. If the EXIF data can be believed, the exposure was made at 1/3200, so there shouldn't be any real problems with camera shake. I think you can begin to see the limitations of the lens there. But it will cost you a fair chunk of change to get anything much sharper. I eventually succumbed, and managed to get myself a good used copy of the FA* 80-200/f2.8 (which is a whole lot heavier to carry around all day). But until then I managed to get some pretty good shots with the 100-300, especially if I didn't push it all the way to 300mm. Of course, if you can get hold of either the DA* 50-135 or DA* 60-250 they'll out-perform the 100-300 at 113mm, too.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
Hi Mark, Been doing that a lot lately too; I have something like 10 canisters only so I don't load everything up and the rest sits inside the loader on my bookshelf. I have an extra 100' in the freezer though. Fuji just gave a press release that Neopan 400 is being phased out, but here is a not so well known alternative film: http://www.adorama.com/KE400100.html Its brought to you by the same guys who gave us Ilford. How why its cheaper is beyond me, but its quality almost the same as Ilford HP5+ (a bit grainier; I have yet to compare the Kentmere 100 with FP4). It takes longer to process it with the same chemistry; so far we have tried it with Ilford's ID-11 and homebrewed (pa)Rodinal.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
I think Plus X was discontinued some time ago - I got a few rolls o 120 and 10 pack of 24 exposure 35mm when it was disconitnued, which I still have. Istumbled into a pro pack of 120 on ebay at a good price recently. I really liked that film. These days I am using Arista Edu 100. I bought some Pro Max which I believe is rebranded Lucky 100 - OK but not so great. Want to give Kentmere 100 a try.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
Yeah - I'm enjoying Kentmere 400 a lot. I need to try the ISO 100 product. I never cared much for HP 5 or FP 4 - they were technically fine but I just never got excited about them. I like the Kentmere 400 because it is more grainy and has more character. I actually ordered a 100' roll of the Kentmere 400 with the bulk loader.
