New[ish] K-3 has arrived.

I just picked up my new to me K-3, and I'm, well not miffed exactly, I did order the Bargain copy.  It all works but isn't as pretty as the K-5II I got from KEH about a year and a half ago. It would be called brassed if the body shell were made out of brass. Functionally it's fine though, and

Re: Lockdown life

Everyone seems to forget the initial intent of these measures. It was to slow the spread of the virus so as to not overwhelm the medical infrastructure.  Well weather it was the lock down or simply the fact that the US isn't as densely populated as many other advanced nations, or the fact that

Enablement, (does anyone else miss these threads...)

So I've finally pulled the trigger on a K-3.  KEH had one in bargain, (or as anyone else would say Ex+, and I say this on having bought a "bargain" K-5II from them, which not only still had the new camera smell, but had less than 3000 shutter actuations),  condition.  Plus now I'll no longer

PESO -- Ancient.

I didn't contribute to the PUG this month because, I posted almost all of my best ruins as PESOs at one time or another, but I did want to give something, so here is a shot from the past.  I've re-titled it to fit the current PUG.

I keep thinking of upgrading my flash capabilities, especially as my older flashes keep dying... While doing my research I a flash that's flown completely under my radar. The Godox TT 350p, also sold by Adorama under the Flashpoint brand. It looks really good for the money, for about half of

Re: Back up your CD-R's and DVD-R's

Dave, you might want to try a paid program called IsoBuster. I used to have a license for it many years ago, and it was astounding the files it would recover from badly damaged media. I haven't used it in a while but compared to all the other recovery programs I've tried, you might as well
