Re: PESO - Which Way?

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Years ago, I was driving through   VT and stopped for gas and liquid
refreshment before crossing the Connecticut into NH.  The stop was a.t an
internet, and the road had changed since my last trip there.  A sign on the
road off to the right said "Hanover," and did a sign on the road straight
ahead. Since the intersection had changed since my last trip, I asked the
store owner if it made any difference which road I took.  "Not to me it
don't," came the reply.

Here's the thing about travels.. while I have been to 49 states and all

are Mexico
(deducing that wading across the Rio Grande in a remote area of Big

Re: sensor cleaning question

[Rick Womer]

I have a blower bulb, which works well for most things.

Not long after I got my istD, some grunge appeared that couldn’t be blown off. 
I ordered a packet of lollipops. I wasn’t favorably impressed.

So I ordered some Sensor Swabs from B, which came with a small vial of 
cleaning fluid (one puts a drop of the fluid on the swab, not directly on the 
sensor). They worked very well. I still have one swab left from that original 
package of five, and a few drops of the fluid.

Looking at B, they now come in a wide variety of sizes and types. Things keep 
getting more complicated in life.

Cheers,

Rick

Hmm.  I'm pretty sure I've been to more than that.  Let's see:

Acadia, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, King's Canyon, 
Sequoia, Yosemite, Zion.
(It certainly helps living in California; all but one of those we've 
visited by driving
from home since we moved here 25 years ago.  Acadia we visited when 
we lived back east,

and took our local Girl Scout troop camping in Acadia one year).

I've been to Yosemite more than once.  Larry and I took a quick trip 
out there when I had
just purchased my K5.  One of these years I'll get out there during 
the spring snowmelt.


My bucket list includes Joshua Tree and the parks in Oregon and 
Washington (state).
I suppose I should visit my closest one, too - Pinnacles - it's 
visible from around here.

I've never actually cleaned the sensor on my cameras. If it needs cleaning I'll 
hand it off to the guy who's at Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend.


Or take it back to the local Pentax dealer and have them do it.

Re: sensor cleaning question

[Henk Terhell]

Thanks Larry. Yes, the lollipop (I didn't know this knickname).
There are a spot of about 3 mm and a lot of small specks on the sensor.
I got an airbulb but that won't help.

Do you mean the lollipop?


Does anybody use this for K-1 which has no low-pass filter, or is that of no 
concern in sensor cleaning?

I have used it on various occasions.


In the past I used to go to the shop to have my sensor cleaned. However, the 
Pentax kit looks rather easy and safe to use.

I mostly use a cheap airbulb, but sometimes there’s something it won’t work on.

Hmm.  I'm pretty sure I've been to more than that.  Let's see:

Acadia, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, King's Canyon, Sequoia, 
Yosemite, Zion.

My "bucket list" includes all of them, but I don't expect I'll actually get a 
full bucket.

Re: Amazon Photo

[Toine]

I'm ashamed to tell you I have optical fiber with at least 500Mb/s up and
down, 3 ms latency, no data cap, HD TV channels and a phone line for 50
euro's/month.
Sorry...

Not to mention astonishingly quaint.  I really can't remember the last time I 
saw an ISP plan (excluding phone ones) that included a data cap but it was 
definitely well into the last century.
