I would love to hear your impressions. There are a lot of interesting
lenses for the K-1 right now if you are ok with manual focus.

Without a doubt. I always take a look at B and Adorama first. I try
to give Adorama preference but they hit me on shipping more for small
things like ink. I will say that Adorama has helped me so much in the
past and has pulled some serious strings for me. All I did was ask.

Nice Paul.

I get a few at my feeders eating thistle and black oiler sunflower seed.

From: "Paul Stenquist" 

Subject: PESO: Nutty Nuthatch


The snow has melted off my deck, and while I didn’t venture out into the 
yard, I did shoot a bit from the relative comfort of the deck. Employed 
the K-1, the D FA 150-450 and the DA 1.4X converter.


I was surprised to see a Nuthatch at the feeder, since they usually dine 
on insects. Of course, there may be some bugs among the seed’s, but it 
looks like  he has a thistle seed  here.

Re: Leica M lenses on PK mounts? [No.]

2017-01-04 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
It is a testament to the persistent meme of "Leica M lenses are the best in the 
world" that everyone wants to adapt them to whatever camera they're using, 
whether the camera is suitable for them, or they for it, ... or not. Pretty 
amazing stuff. And more than a bit on the silly side. 

A fun test, howsomenever. I suspect the only mating with this adapter that 
would work other than for pretty tight macro work would be the couple of Leica 
M lenses that have an available Visoflex 'short focusing mount', like my Hektor 
135mm f/4.5. (On this and a couple other lenses, the lens head unscrews from 
the focusing mount to allow a short helicoid mount or a short bellows mount to 
be used.) I don't suspect that they would outperform good Pentax lenses, but if 
you had the right lenses it would be a fun setup to work with. 

Leica M lenses do superb things when fitted on Leica M bodies. You have a full 
complement of them, Stan, and should simply buy a Leica M body to use them 
with. Assuming you want to keep them and use them, of course! :-)

Leica M lenses on PK mounts? [No.]

2017-01-04 Thread Stanley Halpin
Recently on the Facebook pentaxian group, there was mention of an adapter for 
using Leica M lenses on K-mount. 
We have all heard that the lens mount to shutter plane distance is just wrong 
and beyond fixing with an adapter. "Infinity focus will not be possible!” 
So I took the challenge. I bought the adapter in question($19.95), noting the 
warning on the listing that infinity focus would not be possible. Yeah, ok, I 
get it. But how about focus at 100 feet? At 10 feet?

I have Leica 28, 35, 50, and 90mm lenses that were my father-in-law’s. The 
adapter is a smooth comfortable fit on my K-1 - no binding, no looseness. In 
turn I mounted each of the 4 lenses, through trial-and-error using LiveView on 
the camera I found the appropriate distance at which I was able to focus on a 
coin on the table.

 Short answer: the physics of optics wins out over naive hope. See here: 
http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p566717840/e80d9dab3 for test shots. 

Check the image Titles for identification of the lens used. And check the 
interspersed shots of the setup which should allow you to approximate the max 
distance you could shoot with focus set at infinity.  (About 4' from focal 
plane in the case of the 28mm.)

All shots at f/16, including one with the PK D FA 100/2.8 Macro, then a series 
of one each shot from the 50, 35, 28, and 90mm lenses in that order.

If anyone is interested in conducting their own test, send me your address and 
$15 and I will have this like-new-in-box adapter on its way to you. It would be 
a trifle more if you would also like to buy the Leitz lenses to use for the 
test.

Happy (still fairly) New Year, and other things

2017-01-04 Thread Igor PDML-StR


Dear PDMLers,

The year is (still) young, so, Happy New Year!
(And it is rather late for "Happy Hanukkah!", and "Merry Christmas!", but 
better later than never.)


Best wishes to all y'all and y'all's y'all! ;-)

The year end was very busy for me, so, I was reading PDML only briefly, on 
the run, without much time to respond. Hey, that spared the list from my 
sarcastic comments. I enjoyed the photos posted to the list. (Rick, - I 
particularly enjoyed the series from San Diego, - the city that I miss.)



The school break ends today; many pokemon have been caught and some 
have been trained, and Pikachu has already lost his (her? its?) red 
holiday hat. (Those who are "in the know" will get the reference.)



I will spare the list from many other details, like that my car repair 
will hopefully be completed tomorrow, after two months of hardball 
negotiations with the insurance company and then the actual repair.
(I was lucky to avoid any injuries (for all participants) in the accident, 
but the car suffered. Let me just say that car drivers in a college town 
in the metropolitan center of rural TX do stupid things on the road.)



Larry, - I share your sentiment about the collective wisdom of PDML, and 
the general kind atmosphere despite all the differences and individual 
pecularities. 
Cheers to that!


Igor

I don't know what it says about me, but I recognise a few of those!

The Dove (Hammersmith) was my favourite drinking spot if I was in that part of 
London.  A nice pint
(or two) on the riverside terrace was a great way to spend a warm summer 
evening.

I also know "The Prospect of Whitby" and "The Grapes" (both in Wapping), and 
"The Lamb and Flag" in
Covent Garden.

For serious beer afficionados I'd include "The Anglesea Arms" (in South
Kensington) for the best pint of draught Old Peculier I've had anywhere south 
of Thirsk, and "The
Hole in the Wall" right by Waterloo station.
