I wish you had of told me that a few years ago. I was under this more is better spell for some time, and bought over 16K of DSLR's between 2001 and 2011. These are now worth a combined $1800.00.:-) (and thats all i can do is just smile about it.) Dave So, if it's not the camera, now that K-3 prices have dropped a bit, why do I want a K-3 so badly? It's not like I'll get any better photos. Seriously though, I really am planning on waiting to see what the next thing they have in store is before committing. On the subject of spending money on gear, I ended up returning my 13 macbook pro. It turns out that the screen was just too small for comfortably editing photos. It turns out that there are three versions of the 15 available (at least refurbbed). 1) The retina screen is the only one available at stores. You lose a firewire port, but gain a second thunderbolt port. You lose the optical drive and get an HDMI port. The big drawback, other than cost, is that the memory is soldered in, so you pay the apple tax on RAM, since you can't upgrade on your own. 2) Low res 1440x900 pixels 3) High res 1680x1050, this seems to be the one to get, but the inexpensive ones seem to be gone from the apple store as of today, all of the ones left charge the apple tax on memory and drive. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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. -- Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ York Region, Ontario, Canada -- 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.

It turns out that there are three versions of the 15 available (at least refurbbed). 1) The retina screen is the only one available at stores. You lose a firewire port, but gain a second thunderbolt port. You lose the optical drive and get an HDMI port. The big drawback, other than cost, is that the memory is soldered in, so you pay the apple tax on RAM, since you can't upgrade on your own. 2) Low res 1440x900 pixels 3) High res 1680x1050, this seems to be the one to get, but the inexpensive ones seem to be gone from the apple store as of today, all of the ones left charge the apple tax on memory and drive. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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. -- A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant, and the crazy, crazier. - H.L.Mencken -- 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.

Rotary type - they make a loudish humming noise interspersed with clonking sounds when small stones are struck - quite enough to wake you up.

Re: January PUG is up - it's cold outside....
Brian, once againg thanks for your time and efforts with the PUG. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Brian Walters apathy...@lyons-ryan.org Subject: January PUG is up - it's cold outside G'day all A great gallery to kick off 2014. As usual it's hard to pick favourites but maybe Thrainn's 'Horses in Winter' and Jan's 'Too Cold for Comfort'. Interesting that Ann and Phillip both submitted shots taken on film and both used the KX. As usual, you'll find the gallery here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous Gallery there). Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the gallery, let me know. + For February we have 'Feathered Friends' - so all you ornithologists and fan-dancing aficionados should have no problems... Submit here: http://pug.komkon.org/submit/ Submission Guidelines here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html The main requirements are: * Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels * Max file size: 300k * Third party equipment is acceptable provided either the camera body or lens used is Pentax. * If you embed a colour space in the image, it should be sRGB to ensure that the image is displayed correctly on line. * Nominal closing date: 30 September. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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.

After seeing them, gotta agree with you. I mean about 'with the guitar'. It's a lovely shot Frank. Same here. I would've said the same thing earlier, but I figured my predisposition toward guitars might have colored my opinion. -- 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.
Re: PESO - Mt St Michel landward view
A fantastic view, Rick.

The difference between high and low tide can exceed 40 ft/12m, and the gradual slope makes the incoming tide impossible to outrun. On the horizon is the sort of torrential rainstorm that bedeviled us all day. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17641594size=lg or http://gallery.photo.net/photo/17641594-lg.jpg Comments?

The spirit of De la Rey? Brandishing a firearm in public can easily lead to being arrested. Pulling off a shot - attempted murder.
