Re: Sometimes Time doesn't fly
After touting the virtues of the modern Sigma lens my work horse Sigma 17-50/2.8 started playing up last night during a fairly important shoot. The zoom ring now sticks periodically at a point which makes it difficult to use in the flurry of a stage event :( I bought a 17-70/2.8-4 to tide me over whilst the other is being repaired as Pentax and Sigma lenses are handled by the same distributor here and they are not know for their rush to repair gear.

Re: Sometimes Time doesn't fly
It varies.With the long lenses, I start by setting it for the mid range, then check to see how accurate it is at the focal length I use most. With a wide to mid range, it’s easiest to see differences in focus at the long end, so I set it there, then check for the mid range. The DA* 16-50 needed a plus 4 adjustment. That would be enough to make it seem soft without correction, and backfocus isn’t always easy to recognize in daily use. Most of my lenses required no adjustment with the K3, so I’m going to recheck the DA* 16-50 after using it for a while, but I think I nailed it at plus 4. Each generation of Pentax cameras has seemed better than the previous in regard to not requiring a lot of adjustment.

Faintly? Does it have the vapors? On 3/7/2014 4:43 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: I bumped my DA* 60-250 when I took a spill last August. It was in a soft lens case and there was no apparent damage, but the next time I used it the images were soft in places. Did a brick wall test and discovered that the focus field was no longer flat. Evidently, the elements had been knocked out of alignment. Sent it to CRIS. They told me it would have to go to Japan since they didn’t have the right tools to work on that lens. They said it would take about eight weeks. I told them that worked for me since I could get by without it until the auto show in January, at which point I would like to have it. It came back to me in December. I repeated the brick wall test, and while it was better, it was still a bit soft on the left side of the frame. Sent my test pics to CRIS. They said sent the lens back to us. I did; they tested as well and agreed with my finding. They then contacted Japan. Japan said it was within spec. I disagreed vehemently. With some help from Ricoh marketing, and pushing from CRIS, Japan agreed to replace the lens. And Ricoh marketing loaned by a 17-70 and 16-45 to tide me over. It took another eight weeks for Pentax to send the replacement. Today, it faintly arrived, almost exactly six months from the day I first sent the old lens in for repair. But I’m very appreciative of the help from Ricoh and CRIS, and I can’t really fault Pentax. They replaced a lens that had been damaged with a new one. Although I would think they should have been able to repair the old one satisfactorily. Seems the 16-50 is not only hard to assemble at the factory, it’s tough to repair as well. Tested the new one and set the fine focus adjustment. I'm now good to go. So I shot a clock.

GESO: more from Israel
The last couple of days Meg and I have been on our own. We left Boris to get on with his own life, and we headed north. Yesterday we spent around the northern portion of the Sea of Galilee and on up into the Golan Heights. Some great bird viewing in the late afternoon at the Hula Valley Nature Preserve, temporary residence for thousands upon thousands of migrating birds. Cranes currently seem to be in the majority, but some nice ducks as well. I didn't have my birding kit with me but have a few marginally acceptable captures. Today was mostly travel as we headed south along the Jordan River and the Dead Sea to Ein Gede Kibbutz where we'll stay for a couple of night. A very rewarding stop at Qumran along the way.

With a wide to mid range, it’s easiest to see differences in focus at the long end, so I set it there, then check for the mid range. The DA* 16-50 needed a plus 4 adjustment. That would be enough to make it seem soft without correction, and backfocus isn’t always easy to recognize in daily use. Most of my lenses required no adjustment with the K3, so I’m going to recheck the DA* 16-50 after using it for a while, but I think I nailed it at plus 4.

It's amazing how quickly the face of the Thames is changing. Someone will be making a fortune. I didn't realise Blackheath actually extended all the way to the Thames. You'd think the part by the river would have a different name. A lot of the buildings being demolished are not that old judging by the concrete. What will they do with all that rubble?

OT: Suggestions for Anti-virus software?
I mentioned here before that I have acquired a Mac Mini that's supposed to be a little home recording studio. I'm getting ready to un-box it and set it up, and I already know I'm going to have to connect it to the internet for software authentication. (I've been reading the manual ... gives a whole new meaning to fine print.) Anyway, I know Macs aren't supposed to get viruses, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. So, before I take the plunge plug it in, I'd like suggestions for anti-virus software for the Mac. Also, do Macs have a hosts file?
