The little Sirui head that came with my T-025x is actually quite good for its 
price, fine for light to medium weight equipment given the capabilities of the 
tripod. Not for big DSLR and long lenses, however, but I’ve used it with my 
Fuji GS645S Wide 60 and Leica CL using a 75mm M lens with no issues. The Sirui 
is excellent for the Light L16 and iPhone 8 Plus using Moment 18 or 58mm 
lenses. 

An interesting solution to the hex key issue is the Really Right Stuff 
SmartPhone clamp. It has a nice mini hex key of the correct size magnetically 
secured right on it, so I always have one available even if I don’t have my key 
ring. :-)

But I keep a teensy tool roll of a few commonly used tools in my camera bags 
all the time anyway. It’s saved my butt on more occasions than I can remember 
to have a couple of hex keys, a small pliers, a pair of little screwdrivers, 
etc with me...

Re: price vs. Manfrotto.
P.J. has already pointed out that the direct competitor from Manfrotto, - 
BeFree costs $350, and it is currently on sale at B for $220. That's for 
the carbon fiber! The newer model, "BeFree Advanced" is $320 ($270 after 
MIR). And BeFree (both models) also weighs under 3 lbs (2.4-2.5 lbs).

However, it is a bit less compact than PD when folded.
Take a look at this review:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p37OLkOSN70


It looks like that $220 price might be a clearance sale (for that older 
model), as it is out of stock on Manfrotto website, and I just was told

by Manfrotto support that its production ended in 2017.

I am tempted to pull a trigger on that (a great deal, IMHO), but
I am not using tripods that often, and when I do, - I travel by car.
But... maybe if I had such a light one

Re: It looks like we'll have a Peak Designs tripod.

2019-05-23 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
The PD Travel Tripod takes A-S style plates: PD plates are all A-S compatible. 
I mentioned Manfrotto RC2 because that was the example the video review pointed 
to for his complaint about no "auto lock" feature on the clamp. Personally, 
that think that comment is bollocks. NONE of my heads and clamps have an auto 
lock feature, and I've never dropped a camera off a tripod because I hadn't 
secured the clamp. Not once in fifty-plus years… 

I have several plates with D-ring added to the hex key securing solution. The 
D-ring nets nothing, particularly with a heavy camera and lens, because by the 
time I get the plate snug enough to not twist* in use, I need a tool to turn 
the D-ring with anyway … which is usually a hex key that I have on my keyring. 
Never mind that once the plate is snug enough, I can't take it off without 
using that same hex key on my keyring. 

* Best solution to the twisting issue is to get plates that have a ledge or are 
otherwise fitted for particular cameras such that they don't take much force 
and cannot twist no matter what. Most of my plates are like this, but some 
cameras do not lend themselves to this kind of design. But an allen key hanging 
on my key ring eliminates any need to have a D-ring at all (and I've found the 
D-rings break pretty often anyway). 

I have looked at the Manfrotto BeFree and found the Sirui T-025x CF (or its 
descendent) a superior tripod, with a superior ball head and universal plate 
included, for about $200 or so. It's sturdy enough IMO for smartphones and 
light cameras, but not a typical DSLR and/or any lens over about 100mm (FF 
equivalent). It's reasonably stable for ultrawides as long as I don't extend 
the column, and hopless with a Polaroid SX-70. The Manfrotto was worse in these 
respects. 

I don't expect everyone to want or need the $900 A-S Monoball P0 Hybrid that 
I'm in love with, but a good solid ball head with A-S compatible clamp is 
something like the Markins Q3i Traveler or Acratech Ultimate Ball Head for $300 
or so. Add my Manfrotto CF190pro3 legs for another $350 and that's kind of the 
minimum I'd consider for anything longer than a 200mm (eqFF) lens and DSLR 
setup of what's currently available. If the PD Travel Tripod approaches that 
level of sturdiness, with better quality build, it's a bargain. 

I probably use a tripod for 30% or more of my photography. I have four of them 
already (two sets of Manfrotto legs, the Feisol CT3442 Tournament, and the 
Sirui T-025x)d, and three table top tripods (one of which is nearly always in 
my bag…). If I had something as light and compact as this new PD that was also 
sturdy enough for my heavier gear (or ultrawide lenses, which need at least as 
sturdy a tripod as a big heavy telephoto!), I'd use it even more.

Yes, my Kickstarter pledge is already in place. :-)

My Feisol tripods allow the legs to be folded backwards so that the
normally wasted space below the head is filled with the head.
It’s a great feature and takes several inches off the length of the folded
tripod.
The peak design looks cool, and will surely appeal to a number of people,
but for the most part it is a solution to a relatively non existent problem.
Who really needs a high tech tripod to hold their smartphone still?

I have a first generation benro travel flat tripod that I really quite 
like, this is the current product.

http://www.benrousa.com/travel-series/travel-flat.aspx

Since it folds flat, rather than into the cylindrical shape, it is much 
easier to pack in many situations.  It is not an ideal daily use tripod, 
especially with the modular center column, but it is reasonably stable, 
especially with an upgraded ball head, is exceptionally light and 
compact, and wasn't exorbitantly expensive (I bought mine used).


I would say that the new peak design tripod, at least in its first 
generation, is squarely in the delta between a clever idea and a good 
idea.  I sincerely hope that it works out well enough for them to 
develop a second generation with the inevitable bugs ironed out.

It's a $350 travel tripod,  $700 if you want carbon fiber. That's more 
than twice as expensive as an equivalent Manfrotto BeFree and the carbon 
fiber BeFree is on sale for $150 less than the Aluminum model.  I never

It looks like we'll have a Peak Designs tripod.

2019-05-21 Thread Eric Weir

I just bought a Mefoto travel tripod similar to this one a couple months ago, 
and I probably wouldn’t be able to afford this one, but it sure is a beauty. 
With two months to go they’re already almost 300 percent to their goal.

Re: So how did I do THIS? Every JPEG looks like different processing...

2015-11-30 Thread P.J. Alling
That's interesting, on the K-5II which is what I have to hand, once the 
Jpeg option is set to cross processing, the camera cannot be set back to 
RAW until Cross-processing is set back to off.  I don't think there's 
anything you did.  I do think the firmware has a glitch that under some 
circumstance that you just happened to find, sets Raw+ to use the first 
selection in Cross-processing.


On 11/23/2015 2:51 PM, Darren Addy wrote:

Looking into this, it appears that I somehow got JPEG set on
Cross-Processing and the first setting option is "RANDOM". How useful
is that? It's like having a whole squadron of Holgas, each with their
own unique light leaks and each loaded with different expired film.

I'm pretty sure the display you see on the back of the camera is
produced from the (low-quality) JPEG included in every image file.

Well I have assumed my RAW files were OK, but I haven't checked yet.
Now I'm wondering. Will have to check when I get home later this

processing like that. I thought a RAW file was a RAW file.

The same thing happened to me this past summer with my K-3, and I shoot 
exclusively RAW, no JPEGs. But every image was coming out in all these 
otherworldly colours...which Aperture automatically fixed so I didn't 
pay much attention. Then I made some astrophotos and noticed that the

I sorted out a similar problem for a friend yesterday - he was complaining that 
his new Canon p had suddenly started doing this random stuff, so I just reset 
it for him. It has a 'Beauty' setting which I think he'd set accidentally. Only 
such a thing could produce such hideous results.

Re: So how did I do THIS? Every JPEG looks like different processing...

2015-11-23 Thread Darren Addy
Looking into this, it appears that I somehow got JPEG set on
Cross-Processing and the first setting option is "RANDOM". How useful
is that? It's like having a whole squadron of Holgas, each with their
own unique light leaks and each loaded with different expired film.

2015-11-23 Thread ann sanfedele

Can't wait for the answer to your puzzle - can we see the wacko jpgs?
(assuming you didn't delete)..  I've messed up color balance accidentally
and lots of other things but nothing like you describe - I'm too low
tech to make an truly educated guess, but is it possible it has 
something to do
with sequences of exposures for HDR stuff?  or just the way the look 
when you

chimp?  a possible malfunction of the display on the camera?

Looks like another Chicago PDML meet-up is on!

2014-10-24 Thread Mark Roberts
So I arrived in Chicago last night. A trouble-free flight and easy
trip in to the hotel. Had a great dinner at a rather posh restaurant
with a bunch of pathologists. Lisa's on a pretty big deal committee
in this organization so they get the good stuff. Some very nice
people, I must admit.

Since the planned PDML meet is for Saturday I wanted to get a good run
in today. Glorious, sunny and warm, it was! I ran on the lake front,
missed my turnaround point because I'm not familiar with Chicago and
ended up running about 15 miles instead of 12. Oh well.

Tomorrow I should be meeting with Christing Aguila and Bob Sulivan.
We'll see what happens.

I did quickly scan through the video, and while I'm not enamored with

I used to bitch and moan about how unreliable the exposure was on the 
Pentax DSLRs, until I realized that every time I had exposure problems, 
I had accidentally whacked the meter into spot.

Hi Marnie,

Thanks, yes those two shots and a few other shots were from a set
captured at Sculptures by the Sea in Sydney, some really interesting
works there.

 But I  really love the wide shot of the rocks, #29. Very peaceful, nicely
 composed,  lovely shot.

Thanks again, that was shot on the shores of Lake Jindabyne in the
Australian Snowy Mountains, a beautiful piece of country with really
limitless photo opportunities.

Hi Team,

Well about 4 months ago I purchased a Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM
lens based on the reports of some PDMLers here. The Pentax offerings
were just way too costly for the specs and didn't offer the speed or
zoom range that I really needed in an Ultra-wide zoom. The Sigma turns
out to be what was suggested, a very well built and capable lens as
have been the other new Sigma zooms that I have recently purchased.

Following is a small sample of images that were shot with this lens
since it was purchased:

 Rob,
 Nice pictures and quite a recommendation, coming from you.
 The last recommendation I remember is the Voightlander 125/2.5, a great lens.

HI Bob,

Thanks, I certainly don't mind recommending something that I find
useful and this lens was definitely something that has returned to me
scope that has been missing from my kit since the APS DSLRs came
along. I sold my old A15/3.5 years ago as it was pretty useless on the
DSLRs, I still have my A16/2.8 and will keep it in the remote hope of
a K mount FF DSLR but I do miss what those two lenses could do on a
film body. So now I'm half way there.

WRT the Voightlander that lens is one of the reasons that I will
consider Nikon as I bought one in Nikon mount some years ago in
anticipation, glad too as they are now $3500 used.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks, I'm impressed, I've been out a few times where it's been my
primary lens for the day, I forgot how much I missed having an
ultra-wide in my arsenal. The focus seems OK but I haven't been too
critical as the DOF is so deep at normal shooting distances, I will
eventually get a bit more critical with it and I'll report any
anomalies. Thankfully it's not like my Sigma 14/2.8 which can't focus
when the aperture is set above f5 ;(

Hi Don,

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think that any were cropped in that
set. I generally don't crop, all the images in that set were all
produced from in camera jpgs and came straight out of Picasa with at
most some contrast correction. Most of my images are shot vertical
these days, it would generally average out to about 5 verticals to one
horizontal shot independent of lens I expect.

I can guess without even looking what's at that link: It's a hacked
PHP page that redirects to the spammer's real web site, which is a
Romanian-hosted prescription drug sales operation calling itself
Canadian Pharmacy or some such.

The spammer hacks someone else's email so they can't easily be tracked
or blocked and hacks someone else's web site so the email is unlikely
to be filtered on the basis of the URL. And Romanian hosts don't give
a shit that they're hosting spammers making illegal prescription drug
sales.

How close did I come?

According to the Google diagnostics it redirects to a .ms domain, which

Well, at least the bodies with Standard lenses for MSRP.

I'm not going to say anything bad or good about it since I haven't

I was actually going to send if off to Eric Hendrickson

I've had dealings with him in the recent past, gives estimates and was 
able to bring my A*24mm f2.8, which I dropped, back from the seeming 
dead.  He also fixed the focus problem I had with the A*300mm f4.0.  He 
give estimates and his prices are very reasonable.  However he doesn't 
have a large supply of spares, if he can't repair the 43mm because it 
needs parts, it's off to Pentax. who also give you an estimate, I 
haven't used them in years though, I was soured on them when they 
wouldn't repair my MX under warranty, which just shows you how long I'll 
carry a grudge, I'll only send Pentax gear that I cannot get repaired 
anywhere else.

And when you say send to Pentax, you now mean send to CRIS. I
believe you can get an estimate online; at least you can for camera
issues. Their prices seem to be flat rate, which means you'll get a
good price for a big problem, but a bad price for a little problem.

Best of luck, P.J.; I feel for ya.

It looks like Sigma announced some interesting looking lenses

2010-02-22 Thread Larry Colen
I was poking around in the silly hope that the various colors of K-x  
announced for Europe would be coming to the states.  As most people  
expected, there weren't really any announcements from Pentax, though  
Sigma seems to have announced some lenses that could be rather  
interesting if they have good image quality for the cost. Fast glass  
is always appealing to me.


My 20/1.8 is back from Sigma and the nasty bumpiness in the focus may  
be gone. Time will tell, and I've been happy with the optics on it.


85/1.4  http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022015sigma85mm.asp

I've been surprised at how often the 2/3 stop of 1.4 over 1.8 comes in  
handy.  The little bit of extra reach and especially speed of this  
over my 77/1.8 could be handy. I'm sure the optics would be better  
than the Korean 85/1.4. Though I love my 77/1.8 so much that it's hard  
to imagine my using anything else in it's range when I didn't  
absolutely need the little extra bit of speed.


70-200/2.8  http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022016sigma70mm200mm.asp

I doubt it would be nearly as nice as the Pentax 80-200/2.8, but it'd  
probably be a lot more affordable.


17-50 / 2.8 http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022014sigma17mm50mm.asp

Same as above but with the 16-50.

Re: It looks like Sigma announced some interesting looking lenses

2010-02-22 Thread Miserere
Larry,

I also have the 77 Ltd, but sometimes I just need that extra 2/3 stop
(for example when shooting live music). I'm waiting to see what the
price on this Sigma 85mm is going to be, but I suspect it won't be
cheap. This from DPR talking to Sigma Chief Operating Officer, Kazuto
Yamaki, at the PMA 2010:

FLD elements are also used in the [Sigma] 85mm F1.4, which has been
attracting a lot of attention at the show. 'It's similar in concept to
the 50mm F1.4 - it's bigger, heavier and more expensive than OEM
lenses but achieves higher performance,' says Yamaki.

'We've made this for professional and advance amateur photographers,'
he explained: 'we've tried to achieve better performance [than the OEM
equivalents], particularly when using fully open apertures on the
latest DSLRs.'


So, on the one hand I'm expecting a very good lens, on the other hand
I'm expecting to have my kidney to send over to BH. We'll see...
