Testing the weather sealing
I got knocked ass over teakettle this afternoon by a wave at Thor's well this afternoon. The good news is that I had the lens cap on the 15-30, my K-1, K-3II and my 28-105 all seem to be unscathed. I also expect my various scrapes and contusions to heal OK. The not so good news is that the 15-30 will no longer autofocus and when I put it on either of two camera bodies they don't read it as an autofocus lens. I don't see any damage to contacts. Any ideas for an easy fix? Or should I just send it in? -- 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:Smartphone Controllable High-Speed Camera Trigger
Not *just* a sarcastic comment ... I thought the device looked interesting, but you need the smartphone app to get full utility out of it. Programming it with the smartphone app appears to be MIOPS primary advantage over other triggering devices. Since I can't install apps on my phone right now, I'm less interested in it than I might be. Maybe later. I've got a Mac User's Group meeting coming up in a couple of weeks and I plan to ask them to help me with my app problem. And maybe by then Jellop will have sorted out the problems that led to mixed reviews. On 10/30/2018 10:46, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Am I missing something?

(I don't mean that it's bad, it's just that you should be in a specific genre to need it.) That's before you enable the control from the smartphone. But as a remote trigger, which would a much more used functionality, - isn't it a bit too expensive? BTW, the subject line is a bit confusing, in the sense that in the smartphone-controlled triggering, there is not much of the "high-speed" functionality involved, is there? I.e. high-speed triggering is "orthogonal" to controlling from a smartphone.

As for Amazon, - it placed a label "Amazon's Choice" for "miops": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143ENSSO/?th=1 Given that it is the only "miops" (which is actually not a category but a brand name). So, Amazon wisely chose the only one product in the "category". :-) As my grandpa used to say: "The first guy in the village that has only one house."
