That's a very, very old loose leaf binder from way back when I worked for a 
dealer that carried Pentax equipment. The spine says "Pentax Power" and the 
cover has "Pentax Dealer Catalog" printed on it. The original contents are long 
long gone; I repurposed it some time in the middle-1980s .. it's been holding a 
bunch of pages of negs and slides from around 1984 or so. 

None of them are Pentax captures; the very first Pentax camera I owned and used 
was the Pentax *ist DS in 2004.

Re: What happened to instagram?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I don't recall the previous conversation, sorry. 

When I want to upload something from my desktop system (Mac mini) to Instagram, 
I output a square or 4:3 format landscape JPEG for that purpose and shunt it to 
my iPhone via AirDrop. Then I open the Instagram app and add all the image 
files I want to upload as a batch. 

It's quick and easier than dealing with the IG stuff on the desktop for me. :)

Those are the original wheels and heavily used tires from my Specialized Fatboy 
Comp Carbon. They're my spare wheels at present, and will be fitted to the 
other new Salsa Beargrease custom build bicycle that I have sitting next to 
them in its box. This bike will be built up for carrying when I go traveling 
again: I've had it and all its parts since March, but since it's more compact 
and easier to store disassembled as parts than as a fully built bicycle, I've 
not bothered to assemble it yet. (The wheels are ok and usable, but the rear 
hub is only mediocre quality. I suspect I'll build another set of the beautiful 
carbon wheels with Onyxx Racing hubs that I have on my daily ride before I 
actually take the bike anywhere.)

Re: What happened to instagram?

Instagram is centered around using your phone, so if you want to post 
pics to it, getting the pics to your phone is your best bet.


I sync selected photos from my desktop to my phone with Lightroom, add 
to my phone photo folder, and there they are.

Re: What happened to instagram?

I don’t think it was ever meant for serious photographers, but most of the 
worlds best photographers seem to use it. Not all of them are serious though. 
I’m looking at you, Elliott Erwitt. :0)

I don’t have a PC at the moment, maybe never again, so I can’t test what you’re 
asking for. I use just my iPhone and my iPad. I might dig out my Linux laptop 
sometime in the next year or two, but not right now.

Yes, that one needs cropping. The intention was a very blurry
background. The 55-300 is a gem, it's not rendering the creamy bokeh
of a prime. It's light as a feather and very small so you can't have
it all...

Re: Pentax Mirrorless

[Mark C]

I converted my K01 to infrared and use it quite a bit. I use an 
inexpensive XIT LCD Loup as a finder - makes the camera rather 
cumbersome but works well. K01 image quality is very close to the K5, 
which is to say excellent. But the ergonomics are not good. It's still a 
useful camera and when I bought it, it was quite a bargain.

Pentax did venture into the mirrorless realm with the K-01, 
essentially a k-mount mirrorless K5 - much bigger than a 4/3. Brian 
Walters feels it was a missed opportunity since, without an EVF, it 
had to be used in Live View. He found that one of those clip-on turret 
viewfinders didn't really solve the problem. I looked for a S/H K-01 
body in SA a couple of years ago but found they were asking more than 
a K5!
