Re: question about zooms and TCs

2018-08-15 Thread J.C. O'Connell
I think the main reason TCs arent recommended with zooms is that if your  
shooting
at the short end of the zoom with the TC attached, you would get better  
results by

removing the TC and shooting at the long end of the zoom by itself.

let me try again :)

while the sigma, one assumes, doesn't convey the multiplied focal length to
the body, the pentax tc does. does that make any difference to the SR?

We had classical northern European cloudy dank weather the first half

Re: Threading?

It's been like that for a long time, really. On and off.
I don't know all the causes, but Joe Tainter's habit of starting new 
threads by replying to existing ones certainly adds to the confusion. :-)


Some mail clients, and some mail servers, seems to break the email 
metadata (message heads) too. Which leads to messages orphaned from the 
rest of the tread.

Re: more PPG woes?

Same here.

Last week, I check the PPG site, and the Upload page was still broken.
When I tried to send them a message through the contact page.  the
"captcha" could not be satisfied, and would not permit the message to be
sent to Ricoh.

Late last night, I tried again, and received a message like the one you
got:  "Your connection is not Private.  Attackers might be trying to steal
your information from pentaxphotogallery.com"

Does anyone have a general email for PentaxRicoh that we can ise to try to
communicate with them?
