Alling wrote: and wonder of wonders it's got some interesting information for free. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/techniques/pentax_645z_astrophotography.shtml Excellent link, though I'm afraid that if I were to spend $10K on a 645Z, I wouldn't have any money left over for the $500 astro mount. I was surprised to find that there don't seem any lenses faster than f/2.8 available for the 645. Doing some quick web search, there don't even seem to be any manual focus lenses faster than f/2.8 available. There are adapters that support the use of Hassleblad etc. on the 645. Maybe you can find the faster glass you need by going that route? I always assumed that there isn't faster glass because there doesn't need to be. The DoF on medium format is already razor thin compared to 35mm and APS-C and perhaps a 1.4 on a 645z would create a serious focusing problem? Or ridiculously OOF portraits? In other words, we have what's practical to sell, as with other formats. Or am I way off base? Not just DOF, but an f2.0 135mm would be quite large and heavy if built to cover the 645 format, yet it would be the equivalent of a Portrait lens say 85mm on 35mm, (75mm actually). Fast glass makes in any focal length on 645 need a tripod, whereas Pentax build a system to be equally good as a hand held field camera, as well as at home on a tripod in a studio. Traditionally medium format lenses have been fairly slow. There are exceptions, but they are exceptions. Bruce, not to disagree with your point at all, but FYI a 645 135mm lens on the 645z would have an effective field of view equivalent to a 110mm lens on a 35mm film camera. The “crop factor” is 0.8. So taking (many of) the actual lenses available, the 645z has: X 645 lens = equivalent to Ymm focal length on 35mm 25 = 20mm 35 = 28mm 45 = 35mm 55 = 44mm 75 = 60mm 90 = 72mm 120 = 96mm 150 = 120mm 200 = 160mm I think you were basing your comparison on actual 6x4.5 film vs. 35mm film. One other point about lens speed: the importance of wide apertures has seriously diminished (except for very specialized niche applications that call for shallow DOF) - the ability to shoot clean shots at ISO6400 or 12800 really makes “fast” lenses a relic of the good old days when we had a choice of either Kodachrome as God intended it to be at ISO 25 or of that new Kodachrome 64 that was a serious compromise in quality. Though I must admit that I prefer a fast lens to a slower one for the simple reason that I have a brighter image to focus and compose. Stan Well yes I am, basing it on film vs film. From the past the future is determined. Most lens design in the past was based on existing lenses being modified from other formats. Just for example why was 135mm the most popular long lens for 35mm film for such a long time? It's a funny focal length. Doesn't match any particular rule that I ever heard. Well it was the normal focal length for larger a film format. There were lots of good 135mm designs to base the new Long Lens design on. So it became a defacto standard. Faster short telephotos were designed, but the 135mm focal length was now engrained in the photographers mindset, so they were designed in 135mm. n So really why aren't there fast lenses for medium format? Well in addition to DOF, there's size, cost, for lack of a better word, (not that there isn't a better word, but I can't think of one). tradition. -- I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. -- Woody Allen -- 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: OT Purple fringing explanation
P.J. Are you are on the fringe and turning purple? Then it's the right cure! ;-) Now, seriously: I didn't have a chance to listen to the video Rob posted (I am at a conference all day today). I think the explanation that you referenced/mentioned in the other message makes sense. Your situation with multi-pixel fringing is indeed puzzling. I wonder if it is somehow related to how the optics coating is done. Here is my guess based on the knowledge of physics of optics. And, sorry, it is still somewhat vague, as I don't have a complete scenario. Typically, the antireflection (AR) coating is tuned to a particular wavelength, or a set of those, not the entire spectrum. AFAIK, it is the centered in the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is where the majority of the daylight is. (That's the reason why you see purple reflection when your look at the lense.) Now, that can change the balance between the amount of light that comes through that lense in the yellow-green part of the spectrum relative to that in red and blue parts of the spectrum. This would in turn contribute to the disbalance due to what you described about the compensation/balance between the green and red-blue pixels. This may explain why certain lenses are more prone to this effect than others, - due to the difference in the AR coating. Now, why can it be several pixels wide? I am guessing that in some cases, the edge of the image feature is more than one (more exactly four in the Bayer pattern) pixel wide. And if the contrast is high, it means that there is a high light intensity gradient that happens over several pixels. (You don't need to have highlights blown out, just a disbalance.) Hence, the multi-pixel purple fringing. If my guess is right, how this effect shows should depend on the object boundaries (broad or narrow, relative to the magnification [read: pixel size]) and the lighting condition (light contrast). I am looking forward to listening tonight to the video's explanation. Igor Mon Oct 6 23:01:28 EDT 2014 P.J. Alling wrote: It's nothing that a couple of aspirin and a shot of whiskey won't cure...

Dear Pentax (Ricoh): This may seem like a small thing...
.. but may I suggest you are missing an obvious advertising opportunity when you only stitch Pentax into the camera neck straps to be seen from the left and right, but not the middle (back of the neck). I noticed this when a photographer taking train photos in my home town turned away from me as I was wondering what brand of camera he was using and I could clearly read Canon on the back of his neck. The only adjustment that this would require is that one would have to take care when attaching the strap to the camera so that the neck Pentax was not upside down. Currently (at least with the one that came with my K-3) they are stitched so that there IS NO upside down way to put the strap on. While I have your attention Pentax (Ricoh) **don't I wish** why in the world do you not produce official Pentax branded stuff like we used to be able to get under Hoya. Caps, T-Shirts, etc. It is really silly not to produce these things when the cost the company NOTHING (Pentaxians would gladly purchase them) and then turn around and be mobile billboards for your company/cameras. It is just inexplicable to me how this side of Pentax marketing has all but gone away.

sick transit DA18-55
I dropped it on the concrete when I was switching it off with the f2.8 manual lens. The leaves of the diaphram are now frozen in about f22 position... I think more is wrong as well but I haven't faced fiddling I'm guessing buying a used one or refurbished will be less expensive than getting it fixed. So Now I have a manual 50 mm macro, a manual 28mm and the 55-300 zoom that makes the camera too heavy for me to carry much.
