Early FS Friday. SF-1 and Super Program
Hi Gang. I am having my electrical panel up grade form 60-100 amps all day Friday, so i won't have any internet access all day. Re offering these two cameras below: I have, half heartedly, offered these up in the past and am doing so again. SF-1: KEH has one in bargin condition for $35.00. I think mine is in that range and will sell for this. I have not used it for several years, but it worked fine up until storage. Super Program: KEH has on in Ex condition for$ 98.00 but mine is more in ok condition. Worked fine until storage a few years ago. Did a wedding with it in 2002 and with AF280T worked great. The lock switch does not, and when you press the shutter 1/2 way to activate the meter, you have to find the sweet spot but it does/did work. Other than that its in pretty decent shape. Stored in my Lowpro for about 3 years now. Last used around Oct 2004. Shot a few rolls of slide film. Asking $65.00 for this. Since our dollar is pretty much at par with the US dollar, take your pick.:-) Shipping is extra, and would preferr to deal with North American buyers, but will try and accomadate buyes outside this zone. Its more for th eshipping, its pretty dear, and may not be worth it.

This way people with more than one camera from the same manufacturer wouldn't have problems with the file name collisions. It is that way with the D2H and later Nikon cameras. Not sure about Canon, but probably. I can change the first three leters in the file name to match, some what, my event. This is helpful.

I download files into folders organized by MMDD-event names to prevent name collisions. Another scheme is to use a utility when downloading that renames the files based on some criteria, like perhaps the timestamp of their creation, so that they look like MMDDhhmmss.PEF or something similar.

I have found that I have to bias the AF point to get the focus where I want it on that sort of stuff. I believe the issue is lock time: the time from when the connection at the shutter release completes to the time that the shutter actually moves and the sensor/film get exposed. This time is short, but it's there, and you can see it in where the plane of focus lands in the image. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- 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.

This way people with more than one camera from the same manufacturer wouldn't have problems with the file name collisions. It is that way with the D2H and later Nikon cameras. Not sure about Canon, but probably. I can change the first three leters in the file name to match, some what, my event. This is helpful.

I download files into folders organized by MMDD-event names to prevent name collisions. Another scheme is to use a utility when downloading that renames the files based on some criteria, like perhaps the timestamp of their creation, so that they look like MMDDhhmmss.PEF or something similar.

Re: Designation 645 on Lens EG SMC FA (645) 200 f4
Charles, Pentax makes a variety of film format cameras. The *ist D is a 35mm film format camera, even though no film is involved. It uses Pentax K mount, 35mm format lenses. (think 24mm x 36mm film) In a pinch, with a $10 adapter, the Pentax screwmount 35mm format lenses can be mounted. Pentax also makes a 645 camera and a 67 format camera. (think 120 or 220 film) These are much bigger film cameras with bigger lenses. Exposed film is nominally 6cm x 4.5cm or 6cm x 7 cm. You can buy adaptors for $100-200 (if you can find them) to mount these on K mount cameras. So, such lenses are not an easy fit for a camera like your *ist D. Regards, Bob S.

Re: One shot a week for 6-8 years
Jens, I think that Godfrey's suggestion is the hmmm technologically the most well thought through. Indeed you could make a set of settings of your K10D (or any other digital camera) and have it dedicated for the job. The problem of film is that of white balance during scanning. Boris Jens Bladt wrote: Hello List I may be offered a chance to make one (two, actually) shots every week or so, for a period of perhaps 6-8 years.

We're buildnig a new 40 ha harbour on topof a 4.000.000 ton soil deposit. I'll arrange for two stationary tripods (steel and concrete) to be installed at different places. So the camera position is not really an issue. The result will be a small movie (30 seconds?), showing in seconds how the whole thing was built during a 6-8 year period.

If it dies, can I replace it with a compatible one? Jens, you could buy a set of batteries for each year of your project. You can the store the batteries to be used in a freezer or under controlled conditions. My *istD was quite operational 2 years after I got and we see Tom C's shots made with his *istD which IIRC he was among the early adopters to acquire. The similar questions you ask about digital can be asked about film. What if your film camera stops to operate for some reason without possibility to repair? What if the film you put in storage expires in such a nasty way that it becomes useless... Ideally, if you were to revert to b/w film it would be easier, but I suppose b/w is not an option. You know what. You could actually do both. You could use your favorite 6x6 camera as a main solution and your digital camera as backup. At worst you will end up with two movies. I think it will be still worth it.

Trust me, I'm a lawyer MARK!

Bike looks like shit though. Are you insured? If so your insurance company should be able to get after her. If you're a member of some kind of cycling organisation your membership may include insurance - worth checking. Sorry mate, didn't see you there is no kind of defence, especially if she wasn't paying due care and attention. Anybody driving a car (or bike!) has a responsibility to everyone else and they should pay attention. In fact, saying didn't see you there is an admission that she wasn't paying attention, so there's no point in going to court - she's obviously guilty and you're within your rights to execute her.

PESO: better forsythia
or is it that pesky winter blooming jasmine? I keep thinking forsythia - being sure I saw it as such in the Spring at that location more than once... I'm confused myself as to what the purple-tinted leaves are around it... This is a section of stuff that wasn't planted. As a photo this is much better than my other one - but for trying to figure out what is going on the first one might be better. not sure. anyway -- I've been crazed for about the last week and apologize profusely for not commenting on stuff especially to our new peso poster - will share more and comment more when things settle down a bit here. I like keeping the connection with you guys despite real life interfering.. hehe ok here is da link http://annsan.smugmug.com/gallery/2607384/1/225566458/Original It is more about the other bush than the forsythia If my friend Nora were still among us this would have been solved instantly - it is across the road from what was her home and is now her granddaughters. ann -- 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: more Lightroom 1.3 improvement ...
How much would you be willing to pay to sign up for a one-day session? or a two-day? Godfrey, Over the years I've attended numerous one two day photo seminars. Everything from basic photo instruction, to specialized photoshop instruction. I recall paying as little as $75, years ago, for 2 day sessions from nationally known photogs (Lepp, Shaw, Wolfe,Planck etc). I just received a flyer from John Shaw, announcing a full weekend session (Nature Digital weekend seminar)) for $225 a one day rate of $160. For me @ this point it would have to be a very special session, taught by a nationally know persoanlity for me to spend that amount of money. At a local community college type setting, I probably wouldn't pay more than $60 - 75, depending on the specific subject being taught. I have no interest in Lightroom, so I probably wouldn't attend any session on it unless it was very, very cheap.
