Just one other thing occurred to me if you're looking at older lenses for your K-r. Be careful of Ricoh (Rikenon) K mount lenses. Some can get stuck on Pentax bodies. Further info here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=11474423 Cheers Brian

Apologies in advance if I am telling you something you already know . . . There are at least 3 questions you should ask when thinking about a used lens. The first question is the one you are asking here: will this lens work on my camera? And it is a good question! Three are more than a few of us

Or maybe just a nice slideshow if you can get the email of a family contact for the "buddies". Maybe just nice prints for a photo album of your dad's experience for your own family. Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: "Bob Sullivan" To: "PDML" Sent: Monday, April 25, 201

I absolutely LOVE the three dimensionality of the flying seagull shot. Buttery background and total separation of the bird. In sharp focus from wingtip to wingtip is probably the cause. I guess the human eye is at ƒ7.1 under the same circumstances. The rest are good as well, though most are tou

I suspect that that sort of personal history would be quite low on the priority scale for most of the Sendai "officialdom" but a potentially useful anchor for those in the photos. Which is probably what you are thinking as well. The only way I could imagine to make a connection would be via an A

I have quite a few readers in Japan. If you scanned and posted a few I could shoot off some flares and see if any expressions of interest came in. -Tim On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 9:43 PM, Stan Halpin wrote: > I suspect that that sort of personal history would be quite low on the > priority scale

There are still quite a few media representatives over in that area, though I suspect more interest from the documentary crowd. You'll notice few if any news broadcast of late that used new images. But, if you would try to contact CNN, MSNBC, BBC, or the like, they may be able to help you get s
