Re: Eclipse photography

[John]

Mine is a Sigma 300mm F2.8 EX APO in Pentax KAF mount. It's the last of
their film lenses in that focal length, before they reformulated for
digital. It has a detachable lens hood that reverses when it's in its
case. Measuring across the outside of the lens hood it's 129mm.

The Astrozap 124mm-130mm fits snugly over the end of the lens hood. I
barely need to tighten the three thumb screws to keep it in place.

Measuring outside to outside of the front element is 115 mm, so it looks
like the hood adds 14 mm. I was able to buy from a local camera dealer
& actually verify it fit when I purchased it.

The Pentax Forums specs for the SMC Pentax-FA* 300mm F2.8 ED[IF] says it
can take 112mm screw on filters on the front and gives a Diam x Length =
123 x 247 mm. So, I'm thinking the outside of the lens hood is 123mm.

The AZ-1514 I bought might fit loosely or you might need to go with the
next size smaller - AZ-1513 117mm-124mm (4-5/8 to 4-7/8) diameter to get
a snug fit.

The page I linked before has the full line of Astrozap filters.

Thats what I'm going to use and haven't had a chance to measure the

Anyone have any experience or other recommendations?



I've talked to several people who photographed previous eclipses and was
told not to use the internal filters because the lens will concentrate
enough light to melt them & besides messing up the filter it can damage
the lens & the sensor. One of my sources stated he had found out the
hard way.

I got an Astrozap AZ-1514 Full Aperture Glass Solar filter that fits
over the lens hood on my 300/2.8 - "Full Aperture Glass Solar Filter
124mm-130mm (4-7/8 to 5-1/8) diameter."

https://www.astrozap.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=36

I tried it out at GFM. It worked just fine, but I'm still learning how
to aim the camera. I should measure the lens hood diameter on my
80-200/2.8 Tokina ATX-Pro and order a filter for it.

Re: Peso-Nicholaus Mill

[ann sanfedele]

I like that a lot - the structure and light -- though I tend to prefer 
colder tones in BW... not sure if darl blue of the page is making it 
look more
olivy in tone  --   I'm guessing you shot with a yellow or orange 
filter, yes?


It reminds me of an early 20th century painter whose name I can't drag 
out of my brain except his first name starts with a C  .. maybe a 
Charles someone.

This was more difficult to stack and needed more touching up due to the much

Re: PESO: Oxford Gargoyle

I like the pano better. The other is too cropped for me. OR I might crop 
the pano again, but leave more of the background in. If possible. The 
sense of height makes a big difference.

That still didn't quite work for me so I cropped it to the vertical
version and voila! And thanks to the K-1's resolution, the resulting
cropped version is still over 32 megapixels.

No, but the Gargoyle used to enforce the comma's use, until it, (the 
gargoyle), retired.  Unfortunately for the comma, the gargoyle's 
position was eliminated leaving the comma on it's own.
