Happy Birthdays
Happy Birthday to me!! Happy Birthday also to Shel. Well it's the 24th here anyway. Have a good one, I'm going to try. Gotta be better than trying to mend my broken heart on my birthday last year. Has it been a year already? Could I really be 27 still with the face of a 17-year old? It would seem so. Oh dear, never mind. Happy Pentaxing everyone. Best Wishes, Jody. PS. I'm on no-mail, so if you want to reply, send a copy to me.

Busy, busy
Ok, so now I have confirmation that the no mail option is working and I have done everything correctly. Thanks Bill (Robb). I have effectively been off-list for quite some time now. I miss you guys. Just wanted to catch up and tell you what has been happening in my life. I haven't had any spare time for the list (or photography) for quite a while now. I'm working 55-65 hours a week, including some on-call night work. As well as this, I am studying 3 papers extramurally. I'm learning French language, Spanish language, and European History. History is horrible, but I do it because I have to to get a degree in European languages at the end of it all. My exams are starting next week. Maybe after that I will have spare time. Failing that, I will have several months free from November. I drive home (6½ hrs away, where I grew up) next week for my exams as this is where the university is. I have bought a book on HTML, and hope to write my own website sometime this year. I hope for a place to showcase some of my photographs that I am proud of. I will let you know the address when I get it up and running. I hope you will come and visit. Thats all for now. I've got to try and get some study done today.

Excellent fun to be had by all
Hello everyone, Just thought I would share my plans for next weekend. I am off to do the annual photo rally being run by the local photolab. It starts at 9am on Saturday. We get one topic to start and then 2 per hour with the last one at 1pm (total of 8 topics plus 1 optional topic). We are given one 24+3 exposure Agfa film on which to capture our topics. We must hand our film in to the organisers by 9pm, and return to pick up and display the prints that night. We choose one print for each topic and hand them in. The next day there is a prize-giving, with prizes (camera equipment and film) for each category by camera brand, and age-group. Plus the overall prize of a mystery trip for two. Also spot prizes that you must be there to collect. The first year I entered with my Spotmatic and won a prize. Last year I used my MZ-30 and they said I almost got a prize, but missed out. This year I will use my LX and see how I go. The topics are usually really abstract eg. Shattered, Fragile, Short and Curly which have so many interpretations. One I remember from last year was Rain. Rain was forecast for the day, but it turned out brilliantly sunny, and the organisers were feeling sadistic and decided to keep it in. I am getting really excited about it. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. Jody. http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Greetings - Send your Valentines love online. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

How to make good pictures. Attn. Bill Peifer et al
I found this book going through some books my grandmother had had, and my grandfather was cleaning out. So it's mine now. It is called How to make good pictures - A book for the everyday photographer by Eastman Kodak Company (Rochester NY). 25th edition revised. It is quite interesting, I think it will really help with my BW photography, as there was no colour when it was published. I was wondering if anyone knows the history of this book. There is no publication date. Bill Peifer, maybe you can help, as I think your company has branched off from Eastman Kodak. It even says that you can send them (Eastman Kodak) your negatives and prints for helpful, constructive criticism. Cameras of the time featured are (all Kodak) Bantam Special, Retina I II, Senior, 3A series 2, Jiffy Kodak, the Brownie and the Brownie Special. In the back are formulas for making your own developers, etc. Would be interested in your thoughts, Jody. http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!

The button your asking about is a reset button in case you activate the shutter and your battery fails during the operation. That will lock your mirror in the up position.

I shot Plus X, which I like quite a lot in medium format. I rated it at 100, and will probably soup it in D=76 1:1 later this afternoon.

Hi David! Your trip sounds like fun! Let us know when you post a few of your pictures. Just for fun, what made you decide to use a 45mm lens on the 6x7? Jody - Original Message - From: David A. Mann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 11:15 PM Subject: I'm back Hi all, I'm back from my holiday. Spent two days cycling from Hanmer to Blenheim through Molesworth Station (a private unsealed road) which was a real slog. I carried the following kit on the back of the bike: Pentax 67 with 45mm lens Pentax digital spot meter Pentax K2 with 43mm Limited and FA100/2.8 Macro lenses Accessories: hood for 45mm lens, pen, pocket knife, film etc. All stashed into a Lowepro Nova 3 (took a while to figure out how to make it fit). It took me a while to decide between the 43mm and the SMCP35/3.5 but I decided I wanted the extra speed, which ended up coming in handy during the sunset at the campground. I had plenty of photo opportunities but we were pretty pressed for time while cycling so I didn't get much of a chance to take pictures. A roll of 120 and a few frames of 35mm :( It would have been nice to take at least 4 days to do that trip but you're not allowed to camp on the station itself (about the first 60km of a total 180km). Spent the next few days recovering (my first long-distance ride; boy was I sore) then carried the same kit over to Wellington where we spent two nights, and saw the Lord of the Rings movie on new year's day in the Embassy theatre (which is far better than the stupid multiplexes down here). They'd just installed a new screen and the print was top-class (oh, and the movie itself was pretty damn good:).

My time is now my own, when I'm not working, studying, eating, sleeping. Just heard the news about Jeepgirl. Never mind, Tom, consolation is only a plane ticket to New Zealand away ;) Has anyone managed to find out where hubby suddenly appeared from? I loe having a car. Just got my first car in October, after 20-something years of Shanks's pony and Shanks's horse (bike). Just gotta watch that weight creeping on. Had a strange problem with my LX today. Put a new film in, wound it a little, closed the back, suddenly it wouldn't wind on. Tried again a few times. Finally discovered if I took off the lens cap, then waited for a click, I could wind on. About 10 frames in, though, it seemed to fix itself. To quote Steve Irwin Truly extraordinary.

Re: Pentax 6x7II/Digital Back
Hi Bruce, Good to hear from a - neighbor?!! Be happy that your in Sacramento (my wife was born there) right now - last night the temp dropped down to -22 in parts of the valley! As for the new 67II, Pentax fixed a number of design problems (like the shutter release button - weak design) that they had with the older versions. Don't get me wrong I also have 2 of the older body styles but if you were in the market for a 6x7 I would get the new version. If you go to the Pentax web site you will find that until the end of Jan. they are offering a $200.00 discount if you buy a new Pentax 67II with the new TTL Pentaprism. Also, if you check out the www.calumentphoto.com web site I believe they are offering the camera for about $1200. The nice thing about the 6x7 lenses is that which ever version of that particular lens you may want to buy, they will fit both the older and the newer body style. Finally, if you want to get an older style 6x7 for a lot less you can always go to www.ebay.com. Then go to the medium format section and specify your search to Pentax. If you have not visited that site you will be surprised at the amount of 6x7 gear sold on ebay! Oh course, it is a buyer beware market but I have bought a lot of gear that way and have not been burned yet. I should mention that I screen the people very closely that I am considering buying from before making a bid but if you follow ebay buyer recommendations hopefully you will be able to come out ok. - Original Message - From: Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jody L.

Re: Pentax 6x7II/Digital Back
Hi Paul - I was quite interested in your comments about the studios in Detroit. I also shoot large format (4x5) but with the cost of a digital back for my Cambo I would have to take a second mortgage out if you know what I mean! Anyway, being interested in digital I purchased a Nikon 990 to see what it was all about and I am really having a blast with it. Of course my little camera does not compare with medium or large format but it does pretty good. I got rid of my 35mm stuff years ago because I did not like the quality I was getting but like I said this little camera, given its limitations is fun. I think digital will take a good share of the point-and-shoot market in the next 5-10 years. Like you I think the demand for that market will drive the suppliers rather than the high end. Oh well, I think it will be interesting to see how things go for the film camera market. Like how long will Pentax support the 67II? Will they develop a digital back for the camera, will another manufacture make a camera that I can use my 6x7 lenses with, or will I throw it all away because I can not find film or paper to use in my darkroom? - Original Message - From: Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 6:21 PM Subject: Re: Pentax 6x7II/Digital Back I'm not sure the digital SLR is in limbo. I think it's gaining more acceptance with the working pros every day. And the manufacturers will have to meet that demand. There are about a dozen major studios in the Detroit area that shoot large format. These are the really big studios, the ten to fifteen thousand dollar per day guys who shoot the car company print advertising and other commercial jobs. Almost all of them are working exclusively in digital, with the multi CCD backs on the large format cameras. Their clients are loving it for a number of reasons of which time and immediate evaluation are two of the more important ones. These same clients hire a lot of field photographers who shoot mainly MF. I've heard that many of the clients are asking for digital. I won't be shooting digital for a long time to come, perhaps I never will. And I think a lot of other hobbyists and lower tier pros feel the same way. So the market for high end digital won't be gigantic. But it is important, and there's a need that has to be filled. This market can only grow. It won't get smaller.

Why Hanimex is now identical to Pentax.
Another email that got lost when the gremlins unsubscribed me, was about my new (old) lens. I went to one of the two local camera shops looking for lenses. I know that the other does wonderful processing, but has no second-hand gear. Well, turned out this one had no second-hand gear either, but the guy suggested Cash Converters (Criminal Central). I was rather dubious as I had been to CC in other towns, and nothing remotely Pentax. But I thought it couldn't hurt to try. So I went there and asked the sales assistant if there were any Pentax lenses in the cabinet, they had them positioned in such a way that it was impossible to tell. So she started pulling all these lenses out of the cabinet. Here, this one's Pentax, she said. OK, since when does Hanimex=Pentax? The thread wasn't even the right diameter. After pulling out a few more which she insisted were Pentax, but surprisingly weren't, I was astonished to discover that the next few she handed me were actually Pentaxes. There were three of them, all M lenses, M55:f2 or f4 I think, M50:f4 and the one I finally chose M50:f1.7. It is in pretty darn good condition too, complete with Zenith Tempest 1A skylight. It cost me NZ$69 (~US$50). I am quite happy with it. I keep nostalgically fantasising about the M50:f1.4 on my Spotmatic, but then again, how much difference really between f1.4 and f1.7? I love these M lenses though. They just seem to have that nice feel to them, lovely to hold, lovely to focus. Jody.

Re: MZ5n versus LX
and used LX. The price is roughly equal, Im able to live without AF (but sometimes is useful) and durability of LX is fine for my occassional trekking. But buying a LX - isnt it step back? No, definitely not. I consider the LX a step forward from my MZ-30. I love everything about it. But if you're the type of person who likes auto-everything, it's not really the camera for you. It really depends what you want. The MZ-30 was far too automated for me, but that is just my opinion. Heaps of people like a camera that is fully automated. I, on the other hand, like to know that I created a beautiful photo because of the settings I chose. With my LX, I can. But you are probably getting a very biased view from this list. LX'es are extremely popular here. Hey, you are talking to someone who was converted solely by this list, having never heard of the LX before. Now I own one, and am absolutely thrilled by it.

Help!! I can't work my LX.
I am a little ashamed to admit, the subject line is true. I plugged my M100 f4 macro onto the front. I also tried my FA35-80 f4-f5.6. Then I put some film in. When I try on manual, the shutter won't release at all, at various shutter speeds, although it goes down halfway and a red light comes on in the viewfinder by the LTB symbol, although once I briefly got a yellow light before it went to LTB. When I set it to automatic, no matter how much light or what aperture, the shutter (or mirror) stays open (or up) for at least a few seconds. I don't know how long it would stay if I left it alone, probably forever. I left it for about ½hr once and it still didn't shut (before I put film in). But as soon as I turn the shutter-speed off automatic, it clicks shut. What is happening? I was sure the M-lens at least would be compatible. Battery perhaps? Please help. I have a BW photography night-course starting in a few weeks and I don't really want to insult the art by using my MZ-30, although will if I have to. I still haven't taken one decent photo with it.

A friend told me of a friend of hers who worked in Tower 1 - the usual calls were made to find out if anyone had heard from him - he was found after a few hours and was safe - he had never gone to work on Tuesday as he had been fired the previous Friday! Sounds like a woman I read about in the papers who was fired from her job on Monday. She worked on floor 105 of the South Tower. And another was 1hr late to work, she got there about 9. Lucky people.

Re: Let's pray
Thanks Aaron. Those are my sentiments exactly. The only two people I have met from the Middle East (from Iran and Iraq respectively) were very pleasant, decent human beings.

Re: Silent Lenses
What's with this obsession with digital? I showed my flatmate my new LX. He said I shouldn't have wasted my money. He said I already have a camera (my MZ-30), and I should have got a digital so that I can manipulate the images on my computer. I don't want digital. I bought an LX because that was what I wanted. My MZ-30 is so automated. I think I will use it for snapshots only. If I had wanted a PS digital, I would have got a PS digital. I don't want to manipulate anything on my computer.

On a completely different tack - My first LX.
This seems to be off-topic at the moment. I am not trying to be insensitive, but I had to share. I waited a whole 13 hours. I got my very first LX today. It is so wonderfully gorgeous. I fall more in love with it every moment (I really need to get out more, don't I). It is lovely to hold, and wind on. The shutter makes a glorious clunk. It reminds me of my beloved Spottie, only better. Now I have one or two (maybe more) questions. 1. I remember some talk about the tri-function lever on the front. MLU which I managed, and what else? I seem to remember something about a self-timer, but can't seem to work it. 2. The dial on top has me really perplexed. It goes from ¼x to 4x. What is it? 3. Doesn't it work with FA lens on shutter-priority? I thought I had wrecked it, because the mirror got locked up when I pressed the shutter. However, after a while I thought of turning S/S dial off auto, and it came down. 4. Serial number 527. How old? 5. Can you get the lugs and grip off? How? How strong are the lugs? Thanks for your help. I am doing a BW photography course at the local Polytech starting 23rd October evenings for eight weeks. I think there is a field-trip too on a weekend. That should be fun to use a darkroom again. Jody. __ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

OT, but all else seems trivial.
To all US members, Please know that I am thinking of you during this tragedy. I could not bring myself to watch too much of the news tonight or today. It was far too distressing, and I don't even have family in the US. It must be so much harder for you. The worst bit was when they were talking to a prominent guy in politics. He had had two calls from his wife who was on one of the planes, and then I guess he never heard from her again. She wasn't even supposed to be on the plane, but stayed an extra day with him in Washington for his birthday. It must be so hard for him. Please try and talk Dubya out of war. I don't think it solves things. I know you are all angry but no need to sink to their level. War would be even more of a terrible tragedy. Stay strong but don't be afraid to cry. I am almost crying myself, and I am normally such a hard woman. With love and best wishes, Jody. Get email alerts NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

Re: Terrorist attacked against the U.S.
I waltz through security and customs. I guess because I look so sweet and innocent. Perhaps the terrorists also looked sweet and innocent. I think I would have no problems getting weapons through. So far I have smuggled an icecream container from the plane from Australia, in the midst of footmouth and BSE. They didn't even xray my bag. But what the heck. The icecream was made in my FM and BSE-free country (which I am not mentioning due to paranoia), and I wasn't going near any farms. Also some sea-shells and some type of nut from Noumea. It is not too hard. Glad to hear of your escape, Paul. Jody. --- PAUL STENQUIST [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Airport security is a joke. I have frequently boarded flights with my large, lead-lined film bag in my briefcase -- unchecked. Sometimes they look at it. Frequently they open my bag but don't bother to look inside the lead-lined bag. Airport security is an entry level job: little pay. little education. That, of course, will change now. At least for the time being. By the way, I was on the runway at Detroit Metro when the attack began. My flight was headed for Mexico City, and had just started to move down the runway when the pilot suddenly eased off the throttle, stopped the plane, and headed back to the gate.

RE: The WTC constructions
Who designed the Pentagon anyway and when? I wonder why they didn't just paint a large target on the top. I mean, it is kind of out there in the open a bit, and so large and close to the sea. I don't think I would have chosen to work there. Although I am saying this in hindsight, and I feel terrible for all the people who did choose to work there, and their families. I can't even imagine losing one of my colleagues, but to lose so many at once. I can't help thinking of a very popular computer game at the moment, Command Conquer. In one of the missions, you play the Russians, and your job is to completely destroy the Pentagon. I didn't think for a second that someone might actually put that into practise. I can't remember what the other missions are. Don't know if the WTC was one. I wonder if anyone else has thought of this game. Tragic, tragic day. It is ½ past midnight and I can't sleep. Jody.

I'm with Annsan. I thought it was a bit sad too, that he (I forget who) has to improve the view of the world through his photos. There is so much beauty in the world anyway, and the thought that maybe he hasn't seen as much of it as other people is a bit sad. Although it sounds a nice idea. I just wish I could create a more perfect life through photography. Finally, of course people should be able to critique another's sentence. It doesn't necessarily mean we disagree. I don't think Annsan did disagree, just that she has probably seen less hardship than him.

RE: picking black and white print film
Or you could always just enlarge them on a blank wall using a slide projector. Does anyone do slideshows anymore? I remember as a child sitting with my family watching the slides that my parents took of their honeymoon and other holidays. It was really neat to do, and it helped us feel close as a family. Mind you, that was in the good old days, before my parents decided to go their separate ways. Someday when I am home, I will have to see if I can dig out those slides and have a look. Slides are so cool. I think my dad must have taken them with his Spotmatic too - see I am on topic. My mother has/(used to have) a box Brownie too, which would be cool to see, now that I have discovered photography. I wonder if she still has it. I must ask. Can you still get film for them?

Black and white photography sans Darkroom.
Ah, I wondered about that. There is no chance of me getting a darkroom at this point. I don't have my own house. But having the (albeit chromogenic) prints now would be good. And then, at some stage, I would like a darkroom in my own house (along with white picket fence rose garden). So I would like to be able to dig my negatives out and play with them at a later date. On a slightly different tangent. I have all these BW negatives from school photography. There just wasn't enough hours in the school year to get them all printed. I went into a lab a few years back, and they said to print them from negatives, I would have to pay about NZ$1 per print just to get normal size prints. This seems quite a lot, and would end up costing more I think than DP. So then I was wondering about scanning negatives into my computer. I have HP Scanjet 3300C. Any point in trying to use this, or will I just ruin my negs and my scanner? I don't think my scanner gets hot through normal use. Or would it maybe be better to get a copy centre to scan them onto CD for me? Is this likely to be cheaper than prints from negative? And is it safe for my negatives? Also, how good are prints made onto photo-quality paper using an inkjet printer and HP photo cartridges? I imagine not as good as ones you print yourself in the darkroom, but am I likely to be disappointed? I have not shelled out megabucks for the paper and cartridge yet. Thanks in advance, Jody. --- tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It sounds to me as if she's saying she just wants to play around with b+w to see if she likes it. Chromogenics are perfect for that.

Re: Photographing Sequined Pumps
I have to ask? How is it that Chris and Doug know so much about photographing Size 10 sparkly pumps? Most women wouldn't even be seen dead in them. I don't even own a pair of high heels. I prefer Reeboks or my Doc Marten's shoes anyday. I don't even know if I will wear them at my wedding, which is a long way off, I haven't even found the groom. Also I am somewhat concerned with possible compatibility problems with Husband V1.1. Boyfriend V2.2 decided not so long ago to make me Single Woman V2.1. I think he had software conflicts with ever in his lifetime becoming Fiancé V1.1. Not that there was any pressure until he at least became Boyfriend V1.4. Oh well, Life's a Bitch and then you die. Jody. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chris Brogden suggested: Light different parts of the shoe differently, so that some parts sparkle and others show detail? That thought struck me after I sent that message -- dunno why it never came to me earlier. Doug Franklin suggested: Maybe surround them with five or more light sources or reflectors, then take the shot through a polarizing filter turned to polarize as much as it can? I'm going to try both of y'all's suggestions. Thanks. I'll let you know how it comes out. Unfortunately the shoes are no longer wearable (just plain wore those suckers out, but it did take me a few years), but I held on to them just in case I had any good ideas (or got any good suggestions) for photographing them.

Re: Week 4 Picture of the Week
The sunlight falling on the haze towards the horizon really adds something. That would be the dusty WA earth I suppose. I was watching it slowly loading and thinking just another boring silhouette, but as soon as that horizon appeared, I decided I really liked it. My silhouettes just seem to look uninteresting when I have tried, a bit like the top two centimetres of yours. But having said that, the bottom 28 or so centimetres just make the picture work.
