Re: Free DXO Filmpack 3 Essential Edition
But Dave, they don't have to _fully_ check the email syntax, which I admit is enormously complex. If the email you provide doesn't work, the non-arrival of the your activation key is all the checking that's needed. They are trying to be helpful to you by stopping you from accidentally entering an obviously incorrect address. And yes, they need to fully vet the input at the server side but there it's for security, eg to protect themselves from injection attacks, not invalid email addresses.

On 19/9/13, Larry Colen, discombobulated, unleashed: Considering your prediliction to change systems, it seems to me that you should be the one called glasshopper. Changing systems? My first camera was a Practika. (LTL) My second camera was a Fujica. (ST605n) My third, fourth, fifth and sixth cameras were Pentax. (MX, MX, ME-Super, LX) My 7th camera was a Leica (CL). My 8th and 9th cameras were Canon (D60 and D1mII) My 10th camera was an Epson (R-D1) My 11th and 12th cameras are Fuji. (X-10, X-E1) I've bought and sold more glass than Coca-Cola (but not as much as Bill Robb. Nobody could have...) I've always changed systems! I go where the equipment goes that does what I want. Pentax was (and still is) a big part of the equipment that does that job, possibly for sentimental reasons, but yes it does.

Re: A*85/1.4 on my X-E1!
On 19/9/13, Mark C, discombobulated, unleashed: That looks pretty cool - and you keep full auto-modes? AV / TV/ TAV ? Cool... It's really interesting to use. The camera has a range of shutter speeds and 'A'. When the camera is set to manual focus, the ISO set to 'Auto' and the top shutter dial set to 'A', the camera adjusts shutter speed depending on aperture set on the lens. The auto-ISO seems top operate within a reasonable tolerance and gives optimum ISO for the lighting. It works. Or set the shutter speed and view the match-needle in the EVF to adjust aperture for correct exposure. The amazing thing is that the EVF stays at constant high brightness no matter what aperture is set - it is compensating for the low light levels passing through to the sensor (at low aperture settings like say f22) yet still gives correct exposure at shutter press. How is it doing that!! In a dark room at low iris, the noise in the EVF kicks in as it struggles to maintain a dectn image to compose and focus with, but in a dark room (single lit bulb on ceiling) with f/22 I'm amazed i can see anything at all thru the EVF... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Production --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- 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: You didn't hear it from me...
The 645 is a special case because it is a completely different lens line. That camera body is worth buying JUST for the 25mm f4 (if one has the means to do so). If I were filthy rich I would have a 645D and THAT lens alone. There have been rumblings of Canon going into the Medium Format camera (and lens) business, which would be rather surprising if it were a losing proposition. As far as I know, there IS NO existing base of Canon 645 lens owners out there to draw body sales from (such as Pentax enjoys). I expect a refresh of the 645D body, at some point in the not too distant future. On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 12:10 PM, P.J.

Best for what? The two zooms I regularly use are my 18-250 and my 16-50. If I need versatility with decent quality, it is very difficult to beat the 18-250. It's not the sharpest or fastest zoom, but it's sharp and fast enough for most things, and when you need it, the range is very handy. My 16-50 is weather sealed, reasonably fast, and pretty sharp.

K-30 vs K-50 vs....?
Hello Larry, I went from the K20D to a K-5 when the price hit absolute rock bottom. And I must say that the K-5 was a pretty big jump in improvement and has done my photography a lot of good. I do wish a tilt and flip LCD was added as well as Focus Peaking. And here is a big news for us in Bangalore and India. Ricoh (Pentax and Ricoh cameras) made an entry into India by holding their Premier in Bangalore at the 5-star Hotel ITC Gardenia on Sep 13, 2013 - see link to photo attached: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0jqbdzzzglcbcc4/9ujGlb-_hx The country Manager Mr. Bishwarup Mallick is on the right. The prices appear to be higher than the US, aided by the USD shooting up to INR 66 from 55 in just 5-months. Currently I buy all my gear / lenses in the US / Canada. All I want now is a good 1.4x + 1.7x TC for use with both screw drive SDM lenses from Ricoh-Pentax. Regards. Bipin. -- 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: Poll: What is the best, iyo, modern Pentax-brand zoom
I'm not sure that I should answer this, as I don't own a modern, i.e. a Pentax zoom that's actually being manufactured now. Nor do I own any Pentax Digital zooms, but for what it is you cannot beat the FA 20-35mm f4.0. Sharp, decent quality build, even though it's mostly plastic, it has a limitied zoom range, (ultra wide to wide on 35mm format, wide to normal on APS-C digital). Very few imaging defects. It's just a great little lens that even if I owned a more versicle zoom say the 16-50 f2.0 or 17-70 f4.0, one of which is on my short list, just not sure which, would still find it's way into my medium bag, maybe even into my small bag.

Re: You didn't hear it from me...
You may not have seen my comment in another thread, but I noted that the first credible sounding rumor was posted on the dpreview Pentax SLR forum, allegedly coming from the Philippines factory. The word was APS-C, 20MP, and dual card slots. To be announced in October. If it is 20MP, I wonder if they went with Sony or Samsung sensor. Neither one seems to outperform the K-5/II/IIs sensor in dynamic range (but you do get more megapixels). I don't know if Pentax just NEEDS to go in incremental upgrades to give them more room, but I would really be expecting it to be 24MP and the same sensor used in the NEX7. Regardless, I'll be sitting pat with the K-5II for a long while, I think.

Re: You didn't hear it from me...
You'll get little argument from me, I happen to think that 16mp is all you really need to make decent 13x19 prints with some pixels left over for moderate cropping, and serious overkill for the uses most people put their cameras too in the modern era. The only reasons I expected 24mp in an APS-C body was, yes the marketing race in megapixels, and being able to share most of the hardware between a 24mp APS-C and 24mp FF camera. Pentax, (well now Ricoh, though it does seem strange to type that), and I'm sure other manufactures, do that a-lot and it makes perfect sense from a manufacturing and development standpoint.

I'll stick to full-frame for those kind of pixel counts (in fact, I'd have preferred if they'd kept it at 16 MP, though I understand the marketing reasons why they didn't). If the dual card slots are SD and CF I might even be interested in this camera (if all this is really true) but I expect they'll be two SD slots. Face it. We're all interested in it. It will come out with some interesting new features, but sensor performance will not be much improved over the K-5. There will be wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth. 1) It isn't full frame. Pentax is doomed. 2) The sensor performance isn't significantly improved, so it's not that much better than any other APS body, and several FF cameras out score it on DxO. Pentax is doomed. 3) The new features it has are not the ones I want. Pentax is doomed. 4) Some small, but significant number of people will buy cameras that have a manufacturing defect that is rare enough that it wasn't detected in the prototypes. Many other people will imagine that their camera has this defect. Pentax is doomed. 5) Meanwhile, several people on the list will buy it, and while it won't be perfect, they will decide that it is a significant improvement in usability over the K-5. They will be able to get a small, but significant number of shots that they otherwise would have missed with the K-5 family.

Better af, possibly tethering, possibly faster flash sync speed, possibly dual slots. All pretty obvious, except perhaps the dual slots. Tethering is a massive issue for me, and they wouldn't confirm that for me, but did allude to it. And now I've already said way too much and could get into big trouble, so going back into hiding again. X I wouldn't worry. Nothing new here.
