Re: Question about laptop and screen calibration
Jostein, I've never heard about that type of configuration, but in my experience of talking with the X-Rite support, - they are clueless about how their packages are sold. (I was trying to figure out the difference between two different UPC numbers reported by different authorized resellers. Only after I bought one, I found out that their units are boxed in two boxes, and the inner and the outer ones have different UPCs. They had no clue.) Now, I don't know the answer to you question, but if it doesn't work, and you want to experiment you might want to try the 3rd-party free software that is likely to support your hardware. Argyll CMS http://www.argyllcms.com and a frontend for it DisplayCal. I learned about it in December from Zos: http://pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/2014-December/389791.html In the same thread Ralf mentioned using Colormunki with BasicColor.

Thanks for commenting Malcolm. As for the D H Day Barns, They both were shot with on a tripod @ 400 ISO, the color image was shot @1/50 sec f/11, while the B+W image was taken @1/25 sec f/16.

Re: OT: Question about laptop and screen calibration
Jostein, in 2009 or so Lenovo had a ThinkPad with a Huey Pro sensor built into the palm rest, and it ran Huey Pro software. It got good reviews. I wonder if Huey Pro software would run with the W540 too. The earlier model was reviewed here: http://www.robgalbraith.com/multi_page2b0b.html?cid=7-9320-9 Contact me off list about the Huey Pro software if you're interested.

Re: An artists rendition of what a finished FF Pentax may look like.
Most every thing that's been mentioned so far (other than Lady Chatterly) was required reading sometime during my high school years, although Shirley Jackson's short story The Lottery was about as close to science fiction as we got. OTOH, the school library had a fairly complete collection of Heinlein's books including Stranger in a Strange Land and Asimov's then Foundation TRILOGY. A few years ago I ran across an omnibus volume of The Hitchhiker's Guide ... replaced a bunch of badly worn paperbacks.

Re: Curious about price differential on 50-135/2.8
Darren, Yes, I thought of the issues with the SDM. As for the previous lower prices, - I do not think that's really a factor here. If it were a single case, I would understand, but it is really the market price. The market adjusts to the prices going up. The prices being this low consistently, - means that there are plenty of offerings (and those are at this low price). Since this is not a kit lens (and more over, it's a great lens; in my opinion, it is the best of the DA* zooms that I've tried), I am not understanding why. Igor Darren Addy Sun, 15 Feb 2015 22:22:57 -0800 wrote: There is one for $625 on Denver's Craigslist right now, which would be tempting if I hadn't just blown a lot of moola on silver Limiteds. People tend to sell for less than whatever they bought it for, which may be quite disconnected from the current new prices. With any SDM lens, I would be suspicious of AF motor problems unless I had the opportunity to try it out in person.

Re: PESO - Coyote Beautiful
A coyote caught in a jaw trap will sometimes chew it's own leg off to escape. The least offensive explanation I can think of is a person drinks so much during a night on the town and wakes up the next morning next to someone so repellent that he/she would rather gnaw an arm off rather than wake the other person. The animal itself is, as you say, often beautiful, and the image is well captured.

Re: PESO - Coyote Beautiful
Around here many have lost their fear of humans because imbeciles are feeding them.

OK, so he wasn't staking me per se, he was stalking the pup, (who probably thought it was just another dog, the pup wanted to meet and greet, the Coyote wanted to eat), I was much too big to attack, so everything ended well for all concerned.

Re: PESO - Coyote Beautiful
You don't often see them in daylight, usually dawn or dusk. When my current dog was just a pup, I was stalked by a young inexperienced Coyote. If he'd known his business I would never have known he was there, as it was both the dog and I were well aware of his location the entire time. OK, so he wasn't staking me per se, he was stalking the pup, (who probably thought it was just another dog, the pup wanted to meet and greet, the Coyote wanted to eat), I was much too big to attack, so everything ended well for all concerned. That is a lovely action shot. On 2/16/2015 5:03 PM, Knarf wrote: I have no idea where the term Coyote Ugly came from because these are beautiful animals! First time I've ever seen one up close.

I'm in both camps: I'm excited about the upcoming full-frame camera but also very much entertained by the fuss on DPReview and PentaxForums. A lot of the speculation and measurbating (minute analysis of the photos of the mock-up) is unintentionally hysterically funny. I'm with Mark on that, particularly since I don't assume that the mock up will have any serious connection to the final form of the real camera. I think that it could be fun to buy vintage glass, but there aren't really too many old school lenses that I really *need*, in that they wouldn't really provide any functionality that I don't already have access to. What I'd really like are some copies of lenses that I already have, but with weather sealing, quick shift focus and modern coatings. It turns out that the two lenses that would do the most for me functionally are both Sigma, the 18-35/1.8 and their 35/1.4. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) -- 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. -- 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.

OT: Question about laptop and screen calibration
Does anyone in here have a laptop with integrated colour calibration tool? I got myself a refurbished Lenovo W540 last summer, with a built-in sensor from Pantone/X-Rite, and the calibration software that goes with it. Works quite nicely for the built-in screen. When I connect external screens, the software eagerly suggest I calibrate them too. I do have a ColorMunki, so I contacted X-Rite to ask if I could use the Munki with the Pantone software that comes with the Lenovo. The European Support-guy insisted that he knew nothing about the Lenova software, which is kinda surprising since it is made by X-Rite. But anyway... If anyone has experience from a similar situation, I'd be very grateful for any info on how well/bad things work together.

Re: PESO: Queen Adelaide Restaurant
Quoting David Mann dmann...@gmail.com: I should have taken photos of the brunch and dinner menus but I think my wife may have done so. I recommend the peach parfait! I found the kangaroo a little tough (always have to try the native fauna at least once). I got the impression that it's not an easy meat to cook. If I could get some here I'd try it in the slow cooker. I remember it being sold here for a short while about 20 or more years ago... One of the odd challenges I used to set myself while travelling was to eat the Australian coat of arms. I managed it eventually in outback South Australia about 15 years ago. Kangaroo pie for lunch and emu steak for dinner. The pie was first class; the emu less so... Kangaroo is a lot easier to get here these days - even supermarkets stock it. It's long been considered to be a healthy choice for meat eaters, being low in fat, but some recent research has suggested there may be other adverse health issues. -- 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.

RE: OT Digital Dark Age and Digital Vellum
John wrote: The best time to do that is BEFORE they become dead media. There's usually a period when use of the new media formats overlaps with the old media formats. Before my last computer that supported 5.25 floppies died, I copied the important DATA to 3.5 floppies. Those, in turn, were copied to CD- ROM before my last computer with a 3.5 drive was replaced (although I have since then come into possession of an older computer that has a functional 3.5 drive). Meanwhile, the DATA is stored on multiple CD- ROMs and multiple external HardDisk drives. The other side of the coin though is that much of that old DATA is no longer important enough to deserve preservation. I transferred all my 5.25 floppy discs to 3.5 floppy discs. The last computer I had still had a 3.5 disc drive built in, a special request of the build, although by that stage I'd moved all that information to hard drives. I no longer have anything other than a CD/DVD drive now built in, although I think there is an external ZIP drive *somewhere*, as I may have some information on a few of those discs which escaped assimilation. I really don't look at much of the information that I've moved to different formats over the years, but it has been very useful on several occasions. The only problem I've had from time to time is opening an old type of file, but I've always found a solution on the net. The bottom line, as with many things in life, is you don't miss it until its gone. So I'm prepared to keep storing things, although I do a clean out from time to time of stuff which I have no use for.

This one isn't too bad :-) My daughter was given an evil looking doll my in-laws picked up in Europe somewhere when she was about 4. She refused to have it in her bedroom. It ended up quickly in the shed. Some years later, when we were having some work done, I came across it and gave it to her. She took one look at it, and went to the front of the house and slung it in with the building waste!

RE: OT Digital Dark Age and Digital Vellum
John wrote: I don't think that is unique to the digital era in photography. I've seen instances where family didn't appreciate old photos and trashed negatives prints that were probably priceless. I've seen it in my own family where my father gave away most of my grandmother's photography after she died. Certainly that happens. I think with the images/family history on old media getting thrown out, that family may not know what they've done. With photographs etc, it's a choice.
