Nice gallery; ity really captures the feeling of the city as I remember it. I especially like the image of part of the fountain at Navonna, and the following image of the Pantheon. What church is that after the Pantheon?

Fun with lenses and a musical digression
Completely off topic: While I was working on this post I ran across this link to a Mongolian rock band, with some interesting cinematography in the video https://www.phantomsway.com/2018/11/17/we-didnt-know-we-needed-mongolian-folk-rock-until-we-heard-it/?fbclid=IwAR2kusOkZjWqnzS8Gwe6FZkreCrTgfdFA9KAn_W0Y1sgYnOIluf1rHHLmIk The good news: In a fit of fiscal irresponsibility I just picked up a used 43mm ltd for $300, I got it today and I can see pretty much no evidence that it's ever been used. It should be fun to play with. I'm not entirely thrilled with the stock shade and lens cap, I'm certain that if I were to use them for any length of time I'd lose the fancy metal lens cap. This probably is going to seriously suck: My 15-30 came back from Precision. On the bright side, it does seem to autofocus now, although it didn't one of the times I tested it. The tag came back Returning unit unrepaired, unit is BER due to liquid damage. There was no charge on the tag. So, it may have shown up, they took it apart, put it back together and it may be working fine, for no charge, which would be awesome if the problem was just a connector that got knocked loose, but if something is fubar inside and will progressively get worse, then this is really going to suck. Precision's customer relations is unnecessarily bad. It would be trivial for them to be able to email the customer when important milestones are reached. I could spend a page and a half on the whole sordid tale, but I'm desperately short on fucks to give. If I do ever change camera brands though, Precision would be a major reason. On facebook, a friend commented that he has the same grief with them and Sony. -- 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? I detest digital photography
I'd like to make a suggestion going forward, though it won't help you recover what has already been lost. I do hope you're able to get your work back. Implement something local like FreeNAS, which uses ZFS and software RAID. You'll need some hardware and a few drives. For example, I have a 1U rack server with 4 1TB drives in it. I have a total of 1.7TB of available storage in that box. So if a drive fails, I can simply remove it and plug in a new one without loss of data. There are turnkey NAS solutions, but FreeNAS is pretty easy to set up, will run on just about any X86-64 box, and their documentation is top notch. Then, buy some off-site storage to mirror your local storage. https://www.rsync.net/pricing.html Those guys also use ZFS, so it should be pretty straightforward to use something like "zfs send" to keep everything in sync.

The two that died in the machine probably have scrambled information in the boot sector, it's really bad luck when that happens, if they respond to the OS at all there are utilities that can analyze the drive and maybe rewrite that sector so the data is accessible, I haven't had much luck with those methods lately. FDISK /MBR worked well back in DOS days, but I haven't tried it with anything after Windoze95 (which was still really a DOS shell). Don't know what the equivalent command would be for Mac or Apple. If the drives are old enough, and they are all the same model with the same firmware, you may be able to take the controller board from one of the drives in your machine, and perform a transplant. Needless to say this will void the hardware warranty. Also it may make things worse, though how that could be I don't know. There are YouTube videos that give detailed instructions on how to do both. I'd give some but as I've said, I haven't had a lot of luck recovering drives lately... For older IDE and SATA drives there are vendors who sell refurbished controller boards. They're not that expensive. Twenty-five to Fifty dollars when I looked into it. In today's world that's chicken feed. The YouTube videos can also give you information about whether your drive's symptoms suggest it would be one where replacing the controller board would work. I wouldn't trust a drive using one of those boards for the long haul, but if I had a dead drive that I needed to recover DATA from I'd give it a try. If it works, your data is worth a lot more than the controller costs and if it fails you're no worse off than you were to begin with. I've been fortunate so far that all the drives I've had fail were duplicated, so none of my critical data was lost. I do need to get busy and find a new OFF-SITE backup scheme.

Oh, bugger! Hope you get it fixed! If it's any consolation, my experience is that when drives becomes unbootable after a power glitch, it's usually because the allocation table or boot sector is corrupted because that's where it was writing something at the time of the glitch.
