Re: Impressions from K-1

[Igor PDML-StR]

Thank you for your comments, John and Henk!


John:
Every so often I re-evaluate the grip option, and so far I was not 
compelled to use one:
I have had Zx-5n, *ist DS, K-5, K-7, and with all of them, I've valued the 
compact size of the body. Following your thought about the extra battery, 
I've looked again, - but decided to hold off. After all a spare battery 
takes much less space in the bag.


That relates to Henk's suggestion about the bag size.
I have a few bags: a huge one, a messenger bag, and a back-pack that has 
not been used much recently.
The huge one (Tamrac Pro 12) is for when I am going for a photo-shooting 
session or event, and need the convenience of quickly reaching for the 
2nd body, or whatever...
I also use it as the 2nd bag with all the spares when I am on a car trip, 
like the recent one to Yellowstone, etc.
That one couldn't be any bigger, or I'd need a pony to carry it, as my 
wife has been suggesting for years.


For the past 7+ years, my "main" bag  has been Vanguard Up-Rise II 33 
Messenger Bag. (It's traveled to 4 continents.) The very important feature 
of it is that it [almost] fits the size limit for the "personal item" for 
air travel. So, I can not go larger.


Cheers,

Igor

Igor, I think you need a larger camera bag for the K-1.

The position of the live-view button on the right is a more logical 
place, where your thumb is anyway. I'm now searching for this button every 
time I hold my K-5 instead of the K-1.

I like the battery grip for all my Pentax DSLRs. On the K-1 it comes

of times.



Eventually you get used to the different control layout.



On Thu, 20 Aug 2020, Igor PDML-StR wrote:



Hi All!

I just had a big "field" test for the K-1, - on a trip to national parks.
I have been using it for a bit here and there, but this was the first one 
with many photos taken. Most K-1 owners have had it for a while, - so it is 
not new to them, so, my apology for boring you with my rambling. :-)



The first, and the biggest impression (which I already had before), - K-1 
eats battery much faster than K-5 and K-7.

After some 430 photos in one day, the battery was almost empty.
Unless I am mixing it up, I seem to remember shooting some 600-800 shots on 
one battery with either K-7 or K-5.


The second impression is that after a few months of using this camera, I 
still keep pushing by mistake the live-view button on the left side when I 
need the "view photos" button on the left side that used to be there on

the previous models.


One more observation: While putting the camera into my photo bag and taking 
it out, I keep accidentally rotating the little diopter adjustment knob. In 
K-5 and K-7, it was a linear slider, and it was hidden behind the rubber 
shade.


Less often, I also accidentally rotate the "2nd" big knob on top - at the 
most right position. Occasionally, I also rotate (accidentally) the "1st" big 
knob on the right - the one that chooses the parameter being varied by the 
2nd knob.
I don't remember ever having any knobs accidentally rotated on any of my 
previous cameras (7, of which 4 were Pentax).



Otherwise, I greatly enjoy the camera.

I haven't done much of "shooting from the hip" with it yet, - but it seems to 
be aiming right. (I had problems with that with one of the earlier Pentax 
DSLRs.)



Thanks for reading!

Igor

Re: PESO - Morning Glory Pool

[Igor PDML-StR]

I will start with saying that since mid-March, we have been extremely 
cautious in regards to the COVID-19, so your question resonates our 
concerns. (One person in our family is also in a high-risk group.)


Our trip was planned on a relatively short-notice, just about 2 weeks 
prior to the start, - as we wanted to have some vacation before the school 
year starts. We did not want to fly, and we were looking for an 
interesting place(s) with comfortable outdoor temperatures in August.
Badlands national park (in SD) was yet another candidate, but it was too 
hot there. So, we went to Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks.


Because of the timing, we knew yet before going that the parks were rather 
full: it is a peak season, I believe.
Both parks did a reasonable job for the most part, organizing the 
traffic and crowd control: At some popular paths in Yellowstone, they made 
some narrow trails (around geysers) one-way.  They've limited the number 
of people inside the big shops (although they completely failed to 
maintain the distance between the people in the queue outside the store - 
of those waiting to enter the store). At the Old Faithful Geyser, there 
was a big line of people staying too close for the Covid season. We did 
not go there, but found a moment when the line almost disappeared.


And there was human stupidity among some park staff, e.g.
one of the cashiers at that store insisted on touching every item we 
were buying (when we had 3 identical ones), even though he could've 
scanned those from our hands, or scan one 3 times.


Most park visitors were very considerate: wearing masks, keeping a 
distance, patiently waiting for others to take photos from the 
observation points, stepping aside when passing or going in the opposite 
direction on a narrow path, etc.
But we encountered some Covidiots arrogantly ignored everything, even the 
clearly marked one-way trails. Fortunately, there were just a few of them.



There was a situation (at one of the smaller observation points of the 
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone): there was a couple that was taking their 
time taking photos of the waterfall and selfies with it and the canyon in 
the background. We (and another family) were patiently waiting to trade 
places. Then a couple of groups/families came there and stood very closely 
behind. I demonstratively and fairly loudly coughed. Someone from that 
group laughed: they understood me, but did not bother to keep the 
distance. That was the only such an incident that we've experienced over 3 
days at those two parks.


The hotels/motels in that area were very full, so we were glad we had ours 
reserved ahead of time. In the parks, some lodges were closed because of 
the Covid, and many (all?) campgrounds were full. We stayed at a hotel in 
Jackson, - and there they did not do daily service, which was good for us.


We avoided all the restaurants, buying food in supermarkets, and 
making our own sandwiches, etc. in the park. We brought with us all the 
necessary picnic supplies (plates, utensils, etc.).


BTW, before traveling, double check the state regulations on the 
quarantine, etc. Many (most?) western states do not have quarantine 
rules for the people coming from other states. But some (e.g. New Mexico, 
which we just drove through, - touching a small corner of it) have them.

Here is the page that might be helpful:
https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/healthdirectories/healthdepartments.html


Also, keep in mind that some park facilities (lodges, campsites), remain 
closed for this season. So, check that ahead of time.


Also, specifically for Yellowstone: one of the roads there is closed due 
to construction: Tower Roosevelt to Canyon Village. (It cost us extra 2+ 
hours for the trip to Lamar Valley and back.)



HTH,

Igor

PS. My apology for the delayed response, - I've been writing it over 
several days - with interruptions: our school year has started last week.

Yellowstone was on my itinerary for this year, but I have several factors

That appears to be a universal problem. Well, something must be causing
all those rising numbers.

In front of the café and restaurant across our little square before my
window, they are greeting each other with hugs and kisses and their idea
of social distancing looks more like sitting in each others' laps. If
they're wearing masks, they have them under their chins.

The last few weekends here have been exceptionally warm and our police
had their hands full closing down pubs where noone gave a damn about
protection rules and disbanding illegal raves in warehouses and parks.

A few weeks ago, I've read an article somewhere describing the typical
superspreader as: young, loud, and doesn't have symptoms yet. Check!

all these days.. except for stuff I want to sell on ebay, but I
happened to look out my office window
last Sunday in the afternoon because I heard a commontion around the
corner on 1st ave.  That turned out to be a cyclist protest ride that
I wasn't quick enough ti get my
camera off the tripod and get some shots having gotten to see only
the last of the crowd going by.. then I looked across the street and
found this.

As my downstairs neighbor put it "prancing and posing" with no
pretense of social distacing.  The students are out and about in the
neighborhood already mostlymaskless .. not really quarantining themselves.   We 
( folks in the
'hood) are guessing  it won't be too long before NYU will have to
shut down the in person classes.

Re: OT What's the L-mount?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Leica AG invented the L-mount. It first debuted on the Leica T (APS-C format) 
in 2014, and was subsequently used on the Leica SL, SL2, TL, TL2, and CL 
bodies. Along the way, the L-Mount Consortium comprised of Leica working with 
Panasonic and Sigma was created and now all three manufacturers are producing 
bodies and lenses utilizing this lens mount flange and control protocol. 

Leica produces lens mount adapters for M-mount, R-mount, and S-mount that allow 
use of all the major families of Leica lenses on L-mount bodies, and Leica 
bodies used with the Leica adapters include lens profiles designed to permit 
very high high quality use of all Leica lenses on Leica bodies. Third party 
manufacturers like Novoflex, Fotodiox, and Rayqual, amongst others, supply 
additional mount adapters for many other lens mounts to L-mount bodies. 

L-mount bodies from Panasonic and Sigma include the Sigma fp and the Panasonic 
Lumix S1. All of the Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma bodies designed for this lens 
mount are "mirrorless" designs: It's what the L mount flange and mounting 
protocol were designed for. It's an excellent lens mount and some exceptional 
bodies and lenses have been created for it. 

I've been using Leica L-mount bodies since 2015, starting with the SL body 
released in November of that year and mounting on them my M-mount and R-mount 
lenses. When I had the SL body, I also had the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm 
f/2.8-4 ASPH and Leica APO VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 90–280 f/2.8–4 ASPH lenses (native 
mount Leica full frame compatible lens). I switched to the Leica CL in 2018, 
selling the SL body and native lenses in the process. My current Leica CL is 
just about the best performing APS-C camera I've owned, and the SL was 
similarly the best performing FF camera I've owned. Both have worked 
extraordinarily well with all my Leica lenses, and with any other Nikon, Sigma, 
Pentax, and Voigtländer lenses I fit to them.

PESO x2: Magnolia

[David Mann]

Our magnolia tree is blooming but due to it being shaded by other trees it grew 
vertically and most of the flowers are too high to photograph.

I managed to snap a few photos of this one starting to open.  It's one of the 
lower flowers but I needed to shoot with a long lens at a shallow angle to get 
a decent background.

http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1079/#peso

I moved slightly for this one so it doesn't have the green blob.
http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1080/#peso

The little black spot is a small insect.

Pentax K10D with FA*400mm F/5.6, handheld (with a few quiet expletives directed 
at the AF)

Dave

Re: PESO - from my dirty office window last Sunday..

[Pete McIntosh]

New York University has been gobbling up our neighborhood.. and some of the 
apartments inthe older buildings on our street have become student housing.
The students have returned from across the country two weeks early to 
quarantine themselves before classes start if they have come from states with a 
dangerously high
Covid infection rate.   I haven't been looking for things to photo at all these 
days.. except for stuff I want to sell on ebay, but I happened to look out my 
office window
last Sunday in the afternoon because I heard a commontion around the corner on 
1st ave.  That turned out to be a cyclist protest ride that I wasn't quick 
enough ti get my
camera off the tripod and get some shots having gotten to see only the last of 
the crowd going by.. then I looked across the street and found this.

As my downstairs neighbor put it "prancing and posing" with no pretense of 
social distacing.  The students are out and about in the neighborhood already mostly
maskless .. not really quarantining themselves.   We ( folks in the 'hood) are 
guessing  it won't be too long before NYU will have to shut down the in person 
classes.

Universities in Melbourne have gone to 100% online learning. All campuses are 
shut.

Ciao,
