subject:"FS\: Friday"

So, I gather, Paul, that I stand no chance. For some reason, I thought you
already sold your K-5...

I might as well, buy myself some cheap lens, zoom or prime and make it a
second backup camera, or give it to my daughter, or something.

I see... Well, Ken, K-5 is 3 generations forward from K10D, so I should be
able to get a better price. But it will have to be proven.

Hi Boris,

If you get more than one offer, send the second place buyer to me. I have one 
as well, complete with battery grip an all the other stuff in a box.

Good luck.

Boris, I agree with Peter as to your asking price, at least here in the U S of 
A.

I recently sold to KEH, a pristine K-10 with under 3 K shutter actuations, in 
the original box with all that came in the box and no signs of usage at all - 
they gave me $61 USD ! I had previously advertised it at $125 and got no 
response. I only sold it to them cause I have another backup camera and wanted 
to clear some things out.

I hear you, Peter.

Sad, but you're probably right.

Ok, wise and venerable people of PDML - make me a fair* offer. I don't use
this camera and it would be just sad to see it turn into electronic dust.

If you think you would have use for it - please let me know your offer off

Re: FS Friday

Boris,

I think you want too much for the K-5.  KEH.com has several in Ex or 
better condition selling for less than $290.00 U.S. and they're giving a 
1 year guarantee,  and free shipping, something I wouldn't expect you to 
do.


It's a sad fact that no matter how capable the camera or what condition 
it's in, and how well built it is, in the new digital age, after a very 
few years it's monetary value approaches zero.


In my humble opinion the capabilities of a K-5, is probably more than 
most people really need to make outstanding photographs, and even $300. 
is a steal for those capabilities, but the perception is that time has 
passed it by.


Heck, just yesterday, I received a replacement K-5 II that I bought from 
KEH.com that cost me less than $270 including sales tax, that looks like 
it's brand new, and, if I can believe the file numbers exiftool gives 
me, has slightly less than 2900 shutter actuations.   The 1 year 
guarantee alone is probably worth 25% of the purchase price.


Bottom line I just don't think you're going to be able to get that much 
for yours.  Even with the grip, and the other items. I wish that weren't 
true but that's just the way the world works these days.

fs friday -- Calendars AND books!

2018-11-23 Thread ann sanfedele

some of my regulars have them already -- a couple of frequent buyers 
haven't yet.
This page shows the new calendar (Glimpses of the City)  and 12 other 
previously designed ones.. as well as my littlle puzzle book
and "the first time I saw paris"  .  NOTE BENE - don't buy the little 
puzzle book from the site.. and don't look at the pages if you are
thinking of getting one for yourself... :-)  the soft cover is only $10 
plus $2.00 shipping from me.  I cant stop the site from

showing the hard cover first.

https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/annsanfedelecalendarsandbooks

SIGNS GONE BY  and THE PART OF FORTUNE are available from lulu

https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/annsan

for someone who actually uses a wall calendar and writes in the little boxes, the 11 
x 14 " calendar
is great -- so a nice present for someone of my generation :-)  I definitely 
use mine.

thanks for looking

Semi-FS Friday

2018-11-09 Thread John

I stopped by my local Pentax dealer here in Raleigh on Wednesday. He mentioned 
he'd just taken a set of Pentax kit in trade and asked if I wanted any of it.


I want all of it, but I can't afford to buy any of it right now IYKWIM.

Anyway, I offered to mention what he has to y'all here in case any of you are 
looking for anything. It was all "like new" in the box, with even the little 
bubble-wrap pouches and all the literature intact.


So, without further ado ... here's the list

K1 silver edition w/grip1299.00
15-30  F2.8  949.00
28-105 F3.5-5.6  350.00
70-200 F2.8 1100.00
300F4 ED 699.00
360 FGZ  150.00

That's US dollars & I don't know if he has to charge sales tax for out of state 
purchasers.


If anyone is interested: https://www.southeasterncamera.com/

Actually, the only thing on that list I don't already have is the 28-105.

FS Friday FA50/1.4

2018-08-09 Thread Bill


Ok, it's a little early, but I am assured that it is Friday somewhere.
Anyway, I am hoping to sell my FA50/1.4 It's in very good condition, the 
glass is clear, with no scratches, and everything works as it should. 
There are some fine scratches on the body, but nothing that is causing 
any performance issues.


It's on sale in Canada at The Camera Store in Calgary for 329.00, which 
is 70 bucks off their regular price. Consequently, I am asking a mere 
Can$175.00 for this lens. For American buyers, that is about USD$135.00.


I am the original owner of the lens, though it spent some time in Israel 
with Boris Liberman. I bought it back from him when he sold off his 
Pentax gear back in 2016.

Pictures:

Thanks for looking, but thanks more for buying..

I have it listed auction style starting at $9.99

NOT on ebay are two Pentax oldies my film Kx and a K-1000 which is not

Re: FS Friday: Minolta film scanner

2018-01-23 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi

This depends on the specific scanner and model. VueScan provides a list of all 
the scanners supported and what the requirements of use for each one is. MOST 
scanners … regardless of hardware interface … use drivers embedded and supplied 
by VueScan that are loaded at run time by the app. 

Here's the entry for the Minolta Scan Dual IV:

I put such a card in my old (really old) Windows PC.  Worked really well.  I 
tried Vuescan on my Mac but just couldn't get the colour rendering right.  I 
like the old Minolta software anyway.

Re: FS Friday: Minolta film scanner

2018-01-20 Thread P. J. Alling

If I remember correctly, with a USB scanner Viewscan required that you 
have a working USB driver for the scanner.  That's usually why the 
"native" scanning software fails.


The driver model was changed by Microsoft several times from Win2000, to 
WinXP and Vista and support for the old model was completely dropped 
with the release of Windows 8.  Sometimes you can get older drivers to 
work with Windows 7, in compatibility mode, though that's not guaranteed 
as those compatibility modes are sometimes not all that compatible.

IIRC Minolta got out of the scanner business before Apple went to Intel.

As it's USB you should be able to use it with an old OS in a virtual machine on 
modern hardware.  My experience with USB devices on Virtualbox is that it was a 
bit fiddly to set up but it worked very well.

Your other choices are Vuescan, or an old machine (PPC Mac or Windows).  I had 
to keep old hardware as my scanner is Firewire.

Also, for Mac users, you can still get Firewire connectivity (using Thunderbold 
ports)
either as a seperate conversion cable or with Firewire ports on external 
displays
that include a Thunderbolt hub.

I plan to use my Nikon 8000-ED using such a display, with Vuescan ...

There's also the option of SilverFast for software, though I don't
recommend it. The quality is excellent (my old Kodak RFS3600 scanner
came with SilverFast) but it's pricier than VueScan and - get this -
each version of SilverFast works with only one scanner: If/when you
get a new scanner you have to purchase the software again! No thanks,
SilverFast.

To use a FireWire scanner on my up-to-date computer hardware I just
bought an IEE1394 card and plugged it in. Good to go!

I have a couple of calendars of the larger size from my 
createphotocalendars page if anyone is interested in getting them 
directly from me.. proof copies...
They do a fine printing job -- these are 11 x 14 and normally sell for 
$23.  On has a slight flaw (call it uncorrected proof)
that mainly has to to with the tiny captions (will elaborate if you 
care)  ... the photos look good..

It is the UP the ALCAN calendar originally published a couple of years ago..

The other is THE BUS STOPS HERE , also 11 x 14   it is in perfect shape...

If you would like either of these , you can have'em for $15 each plus 
shipping ..

email me off list.

The preview procedure on the site has been improved , btw...
Here is the link to the store  - where there are now 2 books and 10 
calendars.


https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/annsanfedelecalendarsandbooks.

Naturally, it's fine to buy any of these from the store.. :-)
Some of them are still in the cafepress marketplace too.. - they are 
phasing out wall calendars but
selling them while the stock holds out and I've had serveral sales there 
in the last few days..

If you want to play with it, I'll send it
to you for the price of shipping.. I got it at the Salvation Army within 
the last year for $1.99 because I couldnt resist.

It weighs a bit over 2 lbs.

An almost full 100 sheet box of Red River double sided  60 lb Polar 
matte C2s, 8.5 x 11    $5.00 plus shipping
(I had gotten that for printing calendars  last year and I really don't 
like matte paper much.)


Vintage Kodak Kodamatic #2 with case.. for a collector -- don't know how 
well it works, bellows looks like
it is ok  - If someone is seriously interested in this I'll do photos - 
I'm selling it for someone who Id have to share

50-50.  Write off list about this..

Book and calendar info:
Cafe Press tells me that they will print wall calendars until the stock 
runs out...meawhile, I'm migrating

them over to my C P C site slowly...

Added another calendar that cafepress had phased out to my page "Ann 
Sanfedele Calendars and Books"


https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/annsanfedelecalendarsandbooks

(The book and the calendar come in two sizes but you don't see that 
until you click on one of the thumbnails on the landing page )

FS Friday -- My Paris book, of course!

2017-10-13 Thread ann sanfedele

Naturally, I hope there are more of you planning on getting it than 
those that have already.. a few more October sales

and I'll get royalties in November...

this is where you get the book,  or any of the 4 calendars that I moved 
over to this site from cafepress.
Sadly (or not) the people who bought it so far have books with 4 typos 
in captions... the most grievous of which was I typed PARILS instead of 
PARIS in a couple of places, but the cursive is so fancy most will not 
notice .. just so ya know if you are anal about such things.


here is the link :
https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/annsanfedelecalendarsandbooks

Of course I would love everyone to have a copy of the book but I make 
just as much in royalties if you

bought a calendar as the book -- I tried to keep the mark-ups low.

Annoyingly, the site insists on my making a logo... I plan on changing 
it and making it smaller.  If you loved it, though, you might enjoy the 
poster I took it from, which is a rather tough geography puzzle, and is 
here:


http://www.cafepress.com/annsanstuff/9422283

thanks for looking, at least, if not buying...

The trouble with the preview of the book is that it doesn't show facing 
pages  -  You can see all the photos
in the book here on my smugmug page... the "evian" photo stands 
alone,after that the "thumbnails" in the collage

format  can be read as facing pages ..

here is that link:

FS Friday - MY book, of course! :-)

2017-09-29 Thread ann sanfedele

have another look even if you aren't buying the book... there are three 
calendars too and I don't make anymore money

from the books than the calendars.
IF you have already decided to buy but just ahvent done it yet I'd be 
most grateful if you can do it today or tomorrow.. so it will come to me 
in my royalty check of  October 1.


 The "store" for the Book and 4 calendars is here:
https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/annsanfedelecalendarsandbooks

There are still calendars of mine on cafepress, but they are phasing 
them out so I started moving them over
to the other site.. and I like it - although I'm not leaving cafe press 
- there are designs and calendars of mine
all over the cafepress market place.. wish that translated in to the big 
bucks! LOL

I don't know Nikon that well, but looking on KEH ...

the chrome body looks like maybe a Nikon FM - $99 to $150
Nikon N90 - $50 if he's lucky
Nikon Nikkor 80-200mm F/2.8 D - $668.00 (Bgn) to $822.00 (Ex)
Nikkor 50mm F/1.4 Non AI Manual Focus Lens - $60 to $80
Can't tell what the flash is - could be $25 to $250 depending on the model.

Cool! Those cameras have interchangeable sensors.

:-)

It doesn't show the model number of the manual focus camera, or what the 
prime is. I'm assuming 50mm but value would depend on whether it's 1.8 
or 1.4.


I've got a drawer full of Nikon film gear I need to convert into what 
little bit of cash I can.

I was thinking you'd do a quick price search and then have a good handle 
on making a private sale.  The lens sells used at KEH for $600 to $700 
in VG to EX maybe $550 in Bargain condition.  I don't expect a retailer 
to buy it for that much but $100 is a low ball offer.Like I said, 
put it on ebay.  It's not as convenient as it used to be but that's 
where you'll get the best price.

I just did a quick eBay search and the cheapest da* 16-50 on offer was
$450 US. The rest averaged around $600 and many were much higher than
that.

2017-01-08 Thread John Francis


I'm not so sure.

The 16-50 was the first lens that was plagued by the SDM problem,
and so there are an awful lot of posts that complain about it.

I'd think twice about buying another SDM lens from that generation
even though so far (touch wood) my three have shown no problems.

I agree about profit and overhead but still think $100 for the 16-50 was
off by a couple hundred...

Ebay can be your friend.  That's what they'll do and get quite the nice 
profit with those offers.

Not surprising. Your expectation is based on what you paid for it new.

They're thinking about how much they can sell it for, and they're not
going to offer more than half that (or less), because they have to cover
their overhead and still make a profit.

K5 with a kit lens *might* bring in $450 on eBay ... if you have the
original box & all the goodies.

Don't feel badly. I decided to sell my Fuji kit. Now that I have the

The X-Pro1, X-T1, 14mm, 23mm, 35mm, 56mm and 60mm sat for a month, and
all I got was insultingly low ball offers, so I had them box the stuff
up and I brought it home. I'd rather have it sit on the shelf unused.


Maybe you should trade your old fuji kit for his old pentax kit.

Wow, that’s a great kit you describe below.  Yes, even the video markets it as 
a great street camera—much less intimidating—or maybe just more discreet—than 
the all black DSLR.

Sure wish I had some extra money, but can’t afford to buy right now, got to 
save—the bloody Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

Oh yes - I love that I can connect up my iPad Mini (which comes with me
in the bag) on wifi and transfer images for assessment/dicking about
with on location / hotel / cafe etc.

Hi Christine,

Yes had a play around one day and some of the filters (software filters
that is) are a bit garish - great fun when drinking wine at a party ;-)

But TBH they are not my cuppa tea.

I only shoot jpegs, so the camera suits my style completely (although it
is very competent in raw). With a turn of the knob on the front I can go
from shooting mono to colour in an instant. I like that because when I
shoot in B and W I like to think in B and W! I hate shooting everything
in colour and then deciding later if it works in mono instead/as well.

Accordingly, there are 4 'custom set' settings on the main dial on the
top plate. I keep these as ISO settings exclusively, so I know that C1
is ISO 200, C2 is ISO 400, C3 is ISO 800 and C4 is ISO 3200 (don't
forget, I'm shooting with manual focus, manual aperture lenses all the time).

There are several more little dials and buttons that I have nothing
assigned to. I like it simple and sweet, concentrate on the pics!

I'd love to get some more Voigtlander lenses but my god they are pricey.

The 10.5mm f/0.95 looks amazing:



but for now I stick with:

Samyang 12/2
Voigtlander 15/4.5
Pentax 24/2.8
Pentax 50/1.4
Tokina 90/2.5 macro

For one cam/lens combo out walking I take either the 12/2 or the 15/4.5
depending on lighting conditions. On a bright day the 15mm is lovely to
use and so small - very lightweight. The Samyang is quite big, but my
God, talk about 'f/8 and be there' - set a decent ISO, zone focus, click
on f/8 and it's a great streetgrabber. Forces you to get in amongst the
action, which I love. I have zooming legs ;-)

If I take it all out in the bag, it all fits in a Paul Marius 'Le Petit
Reporter' along with my Fujifilm X20 which is great to use (despite
having ugh has a zoom!) with a couple of spare batteries each as well.
Also a beautiful little flash unit that comes with the Oly - operates of
the camera battery and rotates and swivels for bounce flash as well.
Hardly ever use it though.

Features I love - pull out and swivel/rotate rear LCD that can be close
facing inwards, so no chimping! Beautiful ergonomics even in my big
hands. Does good HD video (I use it professionally for steadicam-type
shots on a 3-axis gimbal device). And looks to die for. If Leica made a
camera this small with these features, I would probably have one.

Cheers XX

Whenever you see something labelled 'creative' or 'pro', you can be sure it 
isn't.

That Pen-F is a beautiful camera!  Cotty, just out of interest, have you used 
any of the Creative Features explained in the videos at the bottom of this 
page?  I believe it’s the last video.

I share your pain.

The magnifying option on the electronic viewfinder comes in handy.
