Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
larry why dont you just get a bright neon sock that you can pull over the card door when you take the card out? keep it with your card reader and you're all set. or how about making it a habit to always take one picture right before you leave? 2011/7/9 George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com: Whenever I take one memory card out of the camera I replace it with another card. GS George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net On Sat, Jul 9, 2011 at 11:00 AM, John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com wrote: The door breaking off is not uncommon. It doesn't even have to be because you mishandled the equipment. And since there's a little switch inside that turns the camera off whenever the door is open (or missing), I can see his point. Back when my *ist-D was my only DSLR, I was walking through the woods one day when the door just broke off. The door was not open at the time, it just BROKE OFF! Fortunately, I heard the noise it made when it broke stopped walking, so it only took about a half hour sifting through the layer of dead leaves on the forest floor to find it. I was able to tape it back in place so the camera was usable until the replacement part came from Pentax. I'm still paranoid about how sturdy the doors are, because the cameras won't work without them. So I can understand where Larry's coming from. Do you need to paint the whole inside of the door, or only add something to make it really visible when the door is open just for a reminder? If the latter, you might be able to put a couple of spots of fluorescent fingernail polish on the inside. Or maybe high-light the inside edge. From: Miserere Larry, Some of the problems you get in to.I just don't know, man; they seem to looney to me Sometimes I see you as Wile E. Coyote with a camera. I have NEVER left my SD card door open in the 4 years or so I've owned a DSLR. I can't even imagine how or why that would happen. What do you get up to, man!!?? Why not paint it prison-suit orange? Just use a paint that won't flake off, cos that's the last thing you need, paint flakes going into the card slot.

Re: Ghia or Volkswagen's 'Custom Body'
Yeah, a Corvette V8 and a VW flat 4 pretty much have their fuel consumption and acceleration figures inversed mutually crosswise. 0-100 km/h in a VW is about a Vette's l/100 km and vice versa ]=) But you have to give it to the Vettes that their heaters had more settings than off and too hot. Cheers Ecke 2011/7/3 Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com: Morris, That's pretty much the way I remember it as well. The VW's, whether dressed as a Beetle or Carmen Ghia, were very slow. I drove home from college in one in '65, a thousand miles. Either the gas pedal was floored or you were on the brakes. My son has a '75 Corvette now and even the stock small V8 beats 21 seconds 0-60mph. Regards, Bob S.

It was/is rumored the little chassis housed a power-house of an engine. A Tire-Shredder in acceleration. (PDML 2 July, 4:47 pm. A stock'74 Ghia would do 0-60 faster than a Corvette of the same era.) Sure wasn't that way where I lived in the 1950's, and 60's and '70's. The VW Ghia or Beetle could barely pull it's shadow away from the curb. (O.K. Kerb for some.) The 'VW Werkes' published 21.30 seconds zero to 100 kmp, or 62mph for the Ghia in 74, and top speed of the Ghia, 138 km/h or about 84. Hmm. Compared to the oft cited slow-basic-stock 195 hp 1974 'Vette was around 9 or 10 seconds. With a stock-basic 350 CI engine (Or 5.7 liters.) Most people optioned up to the 250 hp in 1974. My father and I owned Three brand-spanking New Corvettes between 1963 and the early 80's. Granted the U.S.A. began to limit nasty auto emissions around 1968, but the limits affected everybody, even VW and Karmann. Every auto suffered a performance decrease. If someone owned a 7 to 8 second Stock '74 Ghia they need to call the Guinness world record people. At the age of 17, with a Brand New Corvette Sting Ray 1963, I'm here to state with the 4.11 rear end, 11.5 to one compression ratio and advertised 365 hp, All Stock, you could see 146 indicated. And 0-60 in the sixes. And yes, the tires wore out pretty quickly when inflated to 40 psi. And yes, the high school / college girls fell all over you. Ahem. Oh, Red. Convertible. And No. Never got beaten by a Karmann Ghia bodied Volkswagen, stock or otherwise. Remember 'There is no substitute for cubic inches' which may have been first attributed to Big Daddy Don Garlits or maybe Mickey Thompson.

Re: welcome the pentax q
I would guess that since the camera has 25 point AF it will store measured distances for all 25 points to have an idea of what is how far away and then apply some sort of progressive blur based on distance... the next firmware update will offer you a choice between 7, 9 and 18 blade diaphragm bokeh :) 2011/6/23 Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com: Somebody is going to have to explain this Bokeh Control Filter thing to me (how it works).

Are you sure of that? Doesn't it just split the frame down the middle into a left and right image? Does the format size or the field of view make any difference? Yes, it makes a difference, but not one impossible to overcome. The adapter is designed to produce left and right images covering the same field of view on one frame of film. Just using that on a smaller sensor will lose the left third of the field of view from one half, and the right third of the field of view from the other. This means the only part of the field of view in both parts is the central third. The way to compensate for that is simple; use a lens which covers the same field of view on the smaller sensor as the lens for which the adapter was designed when it is used on a full-frame sensor. I believe the adapter was designed for use with a 50mm or 55mm lens. That means you should use something like a 35mm lens on APS-C, I'd expect anything in the 31mm - 40mm range would work just fine. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Sorry I haven't been around to participate. Ever since I got home from my visit to California with Larry and John, my mother's health has taken a turn for the worse. She's currently in hospice care, and it's fallen to me to look after her. She's in fairly grave condition - to the point where she's taking morphine in both pill and liquid form, and I have to stay on top of that. And, as if that weren't enough, my father has suddenly taken ill with heart problems -- both of them spent about ten days in the hospital at the same time recently. So, essentially, my photography is limited to what I can find in my yard. A couple of weeks ago, I order a reversing ring and have been tinkering around with my K 50/1.4. So far, this is the best shot I've managed to get with it. Basically, it's shot with my K-x using the pop-up flash and a Fuji film canister with some wax paper lining the inside as a diffuser, at 400 ISO for 1/180 of second. (It's a grasshopper-like insect, in case anyone is squeamish about those). http://www.flickr.com/photos/walt_gilbert/5832616817/ (Lighbox) http://is.gd/Q6u4ys I haven't done a great deal of editing to it -- bumped up the highlights using curves in The GIMP and resized to make a faster upload. I just wanted to show it off because I was really happy with the way it turned out. I wish I could participate in the forum, or even seriously pursue photography at all right now, but it's just tough to get serious with it in my current situation. With any luck, though, hospice will help to get my mother a little more stabilized and I'll be able to get out and trudge around with the camera a bit more. Anyway -- that's the news from Kentucky. I write and take photos when I can, and figured I ought to at least touch base with everyone to let you all know I'm still alive and check in on the list from time to time, whenever the opportunity presents itself. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm, anyone?
Tempted. But now that I have the FA 28-105/3.2-4.5 I'll rather shop for a zoom that goes wider than my DA*16-50 so I won't be able to report. Sorry Ecke 2011/6/11 Christine Nielsen ch...@inielsen.net: Hello all, Curious if anyone has tried or been tempted by this one? I'll be traveling to Barcelona in a couple of weeks, and am experiencing a pre-trip enablement crisis of sorts. Last summer, I packed light for our summer vacation, with only one 17-70 lens, and I kind of regretted it. So, this summer, my original plan was to bring along my k-7, the sigma 17-70 lens, the pentax 50-135, and 50/1.4. But, I wonder how much patience I'll have for lens-swapping lens-schlepping on the family vaca, and maybe the 18-135 (for day), plus the 50/1.4 (evening wear) is a better solution. Then again, why own the lovely 50-135, and not bring it? OTOH, I bet the 18-135 is a fine substitute for the sigma, though not as fast by a stop. My dilemma gets down to the question of the travel lens... assuming you are not on photo safari, does it make sense to have a super-zoom for travel, and leave the super-nice lens at home? Security, packing light, ease of use all factor in... but, also image quality... what say you? I am also experiencing a pre-trip wardrobe crisis, but I think I'll have to seek help on another list for that one. :) Thanks, -c -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: 18/06 - World Pentax Day
2011/6/10 Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net: Facebook does push the envelope. The facial recognition thing is meant to make it easy to tag photos. It's not a plot to spy on members. But it's tweaked some the wrong way. Fortunately, one can easily opt out of it. No big deal for those who don't suffer from paranoia. Not a matter of paranoia, Paul. Just a matter of who respects what. Facebook make their money profiling people and selling this information to marketers and using it to better target ads. The tags allow them to learn more about people. They can be useful, there is no doubt about that. However, I also consider them a violation of my privacy. I don't have beef with facebook - if people want to use it, fine. I gave it a second chance myself. BUT- if I have no control over whether or not facebook maintain in their database an image tag with my name and for my face, then I have a problem with that. If they were to offer a privacy setting that said identify my face and name and suppress use of it by others I would consider that a great move and it would bring facebook a little farther up on my scale where right now it resides below both the decent and the yes I would pay for that threshold.

Re: 18/06 - World Pentax Day
2011/6/10 Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net: Once you're logged in, the system already knows who you are. Agreed. But do take a look at what facebook says to advertise their data mapping and mining abilities to online marketers. They infer all sorts of information about you just from who your friends are and from the batch import of your various mail address books and your communication habits etc. etc. and we may well agree that there is no harm done as long as all it means is that you get adverts for stuff they think you may want. However, once that data reaches a critical mass, others may become interested in it - NB I am not saying THEM or the Bilderbergers or the SYSTEM. Just anyone really. I just don't want my data in the wrong hands. Any black hat will do just fine. I don't think you can call that paranoia.

Re: What is this : Kipronar f=13cm
2011/6/6 Bulent Celasun bulent.cela...@gmail.com: It can perhaps be used as a reverse macro lens; who knows? Doubt it. As a projection lens it has a short register distance but probaby is designed to focus at longer distances. I read in an astrophotography forum that they make great oculars when mounted to a Plössler eyepiece (whatever that is). If you invert them, you will probably find that you have to go much too close to make it focus. You are probably better off to try putting it on a long throw bellows or a stack of extension tubes. Either way it will not let you stop down so you will have a pretty thin slice of DOF to deal with. I will let the list know if I can make any progress. Nonetheless I look forward very much to your finding.

Re: PESO The T.
Totally agree with part 1 but just too damn insensitive to relate to part 2 =) SCNR... 2011/5/31 Daniel J.

Re: Dubrovnik
I like 574 and 599 very much. Both very strong images. Keeper grade. 526 on the other hand IMO suffers unnecessarily from too much sepia.

Re: PESO: The Old Veteran
Thank you Dan. War will remain a mystery for me to my dying day but I hold those in high regard who act loyally and honorably in their given situation. Ecke 2011/5/31 Daniel J.

You look at some of these old Veterans weighed down by the years, and you can't help but think of their young comrads in arms. They paid with their lives and missed all the joys of living.
