Would Ricoh's Image Sync app be of any help to you?  Looks like it links 
with the built in Wi-Fi on the K-1.

be using Lightroom, so any related pointers would be appreciated.

RE: A good experience with Adobe

2020-02-28 Thread jcoyle
Good to hear you got sorted by Adobe - I've always been satisfied with their 
service.
I've tried to use Lightroom a couple of times, just can't get on with it, so 
I've always come back to PS - I'm also using the subscription model, which I do 
think is economical in the long run.

Subject: A good experience with Adobe

Believe it or not, I had a very good experience with Adobe. I had been running 
PS6 and an old version of Bridge under High Sierra OS on my Mac. I knew I 
couldn’t go beyond High Sierra and continue to use the old PhotoShop. But 
Intuit said that beginning next year, Turbo Tax would no longer run on High 
Sierra or older OS, so I figured now is a good time to move on. I installed the 
Catalina OS, purchased Adobe’s cloud-based photography package for $9.95 a 
month and tried to install Creative Cloud. Couldn’t do it. The install always 
stopped about a third of the way through. I looked for help on the web and 
couldn’t find much, so I called Adobe Tech. They put me on the callback list. 
About twenty minute later a tech in India called me. I let him take control of 
my computer, and he worked on it for about half an hour, throwing away old 
Adobe files and installing the new software. He was a really nice guy, and I 
got his name and employment verification. While  he worked we talked about 
photography and writing (he asked what I did for a living). It was a very 
pleasant experience, and I now have the latest version of Photoshop and Bridge 
working very well. Will try Lightroom again one of these days, but I suspect 
I’ll stick with what I know.

Re: PESO x2: Monarch

2020-02-28 Thread David Mann
I just looked it up, our ones are indeed the same ones from the American 
continent.

I've always found that macro lens to be very versatile.  It's always quite easy 
to find a few interesting things to photograph in the garden.  The only 
downside is that you may find yourself in a few contorted positions in the 
process.  I was using a watering can as a makeshift tripod for those ones.

Cheers,
Dave

Almost current, and a question

Hi, troops.

So I ordered a K-1 to allow my rapidly aging and shamefully abused K-3 a 
peaceful transition to back-up status. This, I believe, will bring me to 
a place on the almost current list, or as close as I've been since the 
K-7 came out. Huzzah and all that.


Along with the move into nearly contemporary, I have had disturbing 
thoughts of a tethering nature, for shame, in order to streamline my

Thus my question: Have any of you lot ever tried to tether with a K-1? I
