That means that it is at least f/4.  I have several lenses that don’t bother 
with wide open DoF because you can’t make lines thin enough beyond what they 
show.

Yup, several generations of transferring it to different places which each

If they are fully buying into the Limited cult, it will be an oddball 
number, 3.7 or something like that. Given that it is a 21mm, it's very 
possible they will get it closer to f2.8.
Remember, the Limited lenses aren't about speed, they are about being 
little jewelry lenses with "special" optical properties.
The D FA* lenses are the ones that are all about big apertures and who 
cares about the size.

Re: PESO 2020 - 108-113 - GDG

I like the tire pump one.

I was wondering if the last was going to be a self portrait.

A simple

would have sufficed :0) but I got good VFM as always.

I’ve been using a Specialized Air Tool Road for about a million years. Perfect 
for touring* and commuting when I have a saddlebag to put it in. But a bit too 
big if I’m going out for a 2-3 hour ride without a saddlebag, just carrying 
essentials. I don’t much like fixing it to the frame with a fandangle like the 
one in your picture, but I do sometimes. I have some co2 cartridges in case of 
emergency, but prefer not to use single-use stuff like that if I can avoid it.

*it could replace the wooden dowel in a Carradice bag, and indeed I carry it 
strapped to the dowel with toast wraps [1] when I’m touring.

[1] this is what the Saturday staff in a bike shop thought I was asking for 
once when I was looking for some toe straps. So that’s what they are to me now.

Re: PESO 2020 - 108-113 - GDG

2020-05-15 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi

Hi Bob,

The tire pump in this photo is the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV model, rated for 
up to 90psi required output:
https://ride.lezyne.com/collections/hand-pumps-high-volume-trail/products/1-mp-mfdr-v204hv

It's a very high quality pump, handles both Schrader and Presta tire valves, 
and is light/small enough to carry on the bicycle all the time either on its 
supplied frame mounting bracket or in a frame-mounted pump bag (it just fits 
into the B-RAD pump bag). It's about 30cm long and 6.5cm across its widest 
part. I tested its efficacy by deflating my front tire completely and filling 
it up … took me about five minutes to achieve 26psi on a 16x4.00 tire. It's 
nice to have this one on the bicycle for my usual riding because it is light, 
easy to carry, and I can not only inflate my own tires if the need arises, but 
I can be of help to other cyclists with mountain/gravel/road/electric-assist 
bikes that don't require ultra high tire pressure.

A better pump for my bike's tires, however, is the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive XL 
model: 
https://ride.lezyne.com/collections/hand-pumps-high-volume-trail/products/1-mp-mfdr-xl-v104

You can see from the website photo that this one's pumping cylinder is about 
20% larger than the HV model. It is rated for up to 35psi required output. 
Doing the same test with this pump, I was able to achieve 26psi in less than 
three minutes with much less effort. The XL pump is about 1.5cm longer and 
about 2cm larger at its widest, weighs a bit more, and is best carried in a 
backpack or bicycle pannier rather than in a frame bag. Due to the much lower 
pressure output spec, it's best for fat bikes and other tires with lower 
pressure requirements.

Both pumps are typical Lezyne quality: beautiful machining work, completely 
rebuildable with easy parts availability, light, and easy to use. The fitting 
chuck is a particularly clever design and makes these pumps very easy to use.

Probably more info than you wanted to know, eh? :)

As it's billed as an APS-C flagship I'd guesss the sensor size is known.
Improved AF is definitely a plus.  As I'm still currently using a K5 it
would definitely have a better sensor than what I have.

Dedicated battery grip isn't really surprising; It's rare for the same
battery grip to be used on two significantly different camera models.

Re: OT: The Joy of Spring

My home state of New Jersey has the highest per capita infection and death
rate of any place.  That is mostly a product of our proximity to New York
and our busy airports, but it is still a heavy burden.
