PESO -- Take that Bloomberg
The mayor of New York is a notorious nanny, he obviously knows better than anyone how they should run their lives, so he's managed to ram through bans on salt on restaurant tables, fast food and convenience stores selling soft drinks larger than 16 oz, and horror of horrors smoking in public. (Though he might be in favor smoking Marijuana but certainly not fully legalizing it). This young woman obviously doesn't care, and while I don't condone smoking I do condone sticking it in Bloomey's eye. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20takethatbloomberg.html Equipment: Pentax K20D w/smc Pentax FA 20-35mm f4.0.

Annoying glitch
I was trying to process photos from the dance tonight, and the color balance wasn't working the way it was supposed to. All of a sudden I noticed that all of the photos were jpegs. At some point yesterday, my camera got switched from raw, to jpeg. And 2M jpeg at that. I don't know how, or why. I think it was before I had the glitch where I had to pull the battery to get the flash to work again. I'm annoyed, because that is going to make it difficult to handle the awkward lighting from tonight. arrrgh. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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: OT - Shoulder injury update
Thanks, Dave. I have to say that I am really impressed with the care I have received both this time and previous occasions at this hospital (St. Joseph's in Toronto). I can't blame a harried ER doctor for missing a difficult call and I am grateful that they obviously take great care in reviewing and following up on files. I was told by the doctor yesterday morning that it's a break that she's never seen before and a difficult catch for anyone to see in the x-rays. To answer a few earlier posters, there is no physio yet. Keeping it as still as possible is what's needed now. As the bone knits I will be assigned physio to make sure that shoulders don't freeze and some strength is built up. Like the other day, will not clog the list with individual replies but a big thanks to all (whether you replied or not) for thoughts and support. This could have been so much worse. I am grateful I am walking and have an intact cranium and (most important) that my beautiful Marinoni is still with us. ;-) cheers, frank aka the one-armed bandit Ps: Carrying K10D with me at work.

PESO 2012 - Balda photos - GDG
I've been itching to take the old Balda (1955ish Baldix 6x6 folder) for a walk since it arrived, finally had a chance to do so over the weekend. I loaded it with Fuji Acros 100 for testing. I made a loading mistake this first time which cost me one frame out of the twelve. I know what I did wrong so I'll not do that one again. Otherwise, the camera performed very nicely other than for opening it. The lens standard mechanism is sticky and I think there's something bent or slightly out of alignment in it. It opens and snaps into place properly, eventually, but it takes a lot of careful fussing to make that happen. I'll bring it by the camera repair shop and see what Fred can do to massage it. Otherwise, the lens seems good, the shutter seems pretty accurate and the images have that lovely vintage look to them ...

Re: K5 acting up?... plus a PESO
Bruce, I assume that the only thing these units do to a flash is triggering, and nothing else. I.e. any simple flash should work if the trigger voltage is compatible. The webpage lists just a handfull of Pentax flashes there (while adding Other flash models with a trigger voltage of 12V or lower.) Do you know if there is anything in this device that would prevent it from working with any flash with 12V trigger voltage? I expect it should work with Pentax AF-500 FTZ flash. I wonder if it would work with an older generic (non-dedicated, A-mode capable) Vivitar flash that I purchased in 1994 and used with my first SLR, Kiev 19.

Re: A proposed experiment (K-7 vs K-5 with film lens vs digital-optimized lens)
Falk Lumo replied to (some of) my questions, although in a rather incomplete and data-light way: - - - Hi again, you address many interesting questions here. Unfortunately, it isn't my current focus of interest, so I'll confine myself to share some of my understandings and opinions with you. I won't be able to do own research on this. Here we go ... 1. Digitally optimized vs. film lenses I think that distinction is a thing of the past when it comes to dSLRs. Due to the retrofocus design of SLR lenses, the angle of incidence even of outer rays never becomes too large. It used to be an issue but I think the microlens designs solved that. Olympus created telecentric designs and a huge mount for a small sensor for nothing. This is the main reason we got ��T now. 2. Shorter flange distances The NEX-7 fails miserably with wide angle lenses on its shorter flange distance. Ask NEX-7 users. OTOH, the Leica M9 performs rather nicely with wide angle film lenses (M mount). So, a proper microlens design is crucial and I don't buy into this Exmor is thinner speech from Sony. When large angles of incidence become a problem, then larger pixels (read fewer) help more than anything else. This is why the NEX-5 may have a better image qualite than NEX-7. 3. Fringing Wide angle lenses should produce more CA than sensor fringing, maybe with the single exception of the new 24MP Sony APSC sensor. 4. Vignetting But when large angles of incidence become a problem, you should see it first with vignetting becoming extreme. DxO looked at that, the link is here: http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Insights/F-stop-blues You can derive and compare the loss of large incident rays from their data, for various sensors.

Ours starts in the pits and goes downhill from there. We have 50 different and feuding people who get final say, then it has to be signed off by someone who hates all of them and all of us. When it's been signed off we circulate it to the different offices round the globe who get to tell us which bits they don't want us to show, so we have to translate their wishes into something that a computer can understand, then get it all signed off again, which means put back the way it was before the overseas offices made their contribution, which was only meant to be a token gesture. After that our principal donor will tell us why it doesn't adhere to their standards since they changed them last without telling us, and if we don't adhere to the standards they'll cut off our funding. So now it has to go through the full internal review process again because it's a major change, and an emergency change at that because go-live was supposed to be in July, but the emergency change board are scattered across 4 continents and 17 time zones and we can't get a quorum.

Re: K5 acting up?... plus a PESO
Igor, yes: the simple trigger/receivers have no proprietary smarts, like P-TTL. It's a simple fire-the-center-pin arrangement. So the upside is you can trigger most any flash, and therefore the cheap and stupid ones are all you need. The downside is your ultra-smart P-TTL flash you paid megabucks for is reduced to the level of the cheap and stupid flash. Meh. It also suggests very strongly to get an incident flash meter to get more accurate setups faster, but you can do without using trial and error. My guess is your 500 would work fine. Quite likely your Vivitar too. Don't sue me though. :-) Can you get more info on that Vivitar? There are some high-voltage flashes out there that blow modern stuff up.

I was able to defeat TWC's voice-response hell system actually talk to a real person, and convinced him it was actually the modem that was at fault. The office where you return/exchange equipment is only about a mile from my house, so once I convinced the guy on the phone it was a bad modem it only took a few minutes to exchange it get back on line. But it got me to thinking I really need a POTS land-line here at the house. Unfortunately ATT still has an absolute monopoly on residential phone service here in Raleigh. I cannot get service from ATT without paying extortion, which I refuse to do. Anyway, I'm back. Y'all probably didn't even know I was gone.

RE: PESO 2012 - Balda photos - GDG
From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi I've been itching to take the old Balda (1955ish Baldix 6x6 folder) for a walk since it arrived, finally had a chance to do so over the weekend. I loaded it with Fuji Acros 100 for testing. I made a loading mistake this first time which cost me one frame out of the twelve. I know what I did wrong so I'll not do that one again. Otherwise, the camera performed very nicely other than for opening it. The lens standard mechanism is sticky and I think there's something bent or slightly out of alignment in it. It opens and snaps into place properly, eventually, but it takes a lot of careful fussing to make that happen. I'll bring it by the camera repair shop and see what Fred can do to massage it. Otherwise, the lens seems good, the shutter seems pretty accurate and the images have that lovely vintage look to them ... I felt good about posting a couple: #2: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/8019828444/lightbox #6: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/8019827304/lightbox It's a lot of fun to let go of all the bits and bytes with a camera like this. And I still love the look of 6x6 photographs. The first one, of the tree, works really well. A great subject for that type of camera, lovely composition, light and processing. I imagine it would make a very sellable 'fine art' (ptui!) print.

Re: PESO - Life's Greatest Pleasures?
Ditto what Peter says. I do like the shot though. Next time you go there, Frank, take a collapsible scrim with you to control the glare and let you raise the exposure so we can see the muffin properly. I'll come with you if you need an assistant. Mmm, chocolate. On a more technical note: don't you find that pairing a muffin with an espresso means that you run out of liquid long before you finish the muffin? It's usually three or four sips or one quick swallow and that espresso is done. I'd rather have a cup of coffee with that chocolate muffin. With an espresso, it should be a biscotti, I think.

A proposed experiment (K-7 vs K-5 with film lens vs digital-optimized lens)
I've sent a follow-up question to Falk Lumo, because it appears that my original point is still valid, even if the Exmor (APS-C) is not backlit or the same as the Exmor-R technology. The deep well is still shallower (and the photo diodes are bigger). Here is my most recent question of him: - - - Thank you for your reply to my question and correcting my misperception/confusion regarding the Exmor (APS-C) vs the Exmor-R sensor. I would like to follow-up my question with some corrected data then. Here is an image from the Sony page for the Exmor (APS-C) ( http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/technology/technology/theme/cmos_01.html ) http://www.antiqueauto.org/assets/ExmorAPS-C.png It appears that my original point is still valid. By shortening the length of the deep well (as well as using physically larger photo diodes) it appears that more off-axis light reaches each pixel than in the previous sensor designs. I have never seen this addressed in experiment or comparison however. The manufacturers are not going to make a big deal about it, because they want you to think that you must have their digitally optimized lenses. But if one of the improvements that come along with the Sony Exmor (APS-C) sensor is better performance with off-axis light, then it means that a user with legacy lenses designed for film will see an improvement in the performance of those lenses simply by putting them on a camera with an Exmor (APS-C) sensor. I believe that this should be seen especially easily when it comes to purple fringing which (as I'm sure you understand much better than I) is a result of light bleeding into neighboring pixels and often worst with fast film lenses. I think it would be interesting to test (for example) two lenses that are as close as possible in specs and have them shoot the same purple fringe inducing scene on BOTH an Exmor sensor and a non-Exmor sensor (say the K-7 vs the K-5). Candidates for comparison might include the Pentax-A 50mm f1.7 vs the DA 50mm f1.8 or the Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 vs the Pentax DA 40mm F2.8mm XS Lens It would be interesting to know maximum off-axis ANGLE of various lenses as well (as measured at the corners of the APS-C sensor). Is there any way to derive that mathematically? Thanks again for any reply you may have time to give. - - - I don't have a K-7 to compare with my K-5 but it seems that if someone had those two camera models and lenses that were close to the same for the comparison of film-era lens vs digitally optimized lens that we could have some side-by-side comparisons. Another comparison could be made between the DFA 100mm f2.8 and the earlier film 100mm f2.8 macro designs. With regard to my question of calculating the off-axis angle of various lenses... It seems that the angles we are talking about could be calculated from knowing the diameter of the rear lens element and the diameter of the image circle that covers the sensor and the distance between that rear element and the sensor. Doesn't digitally-optimized just mean a design that allows the use of the smallest diameter of rear lens element that can still cover that sensor image circle? -- 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.

One of the (few) annoying aspects of the K-5 that I've come across is that if you put it in Green mode (maybe to hand the camera to someone else to take a few shots), not only does it default to JPG, it also defaults to sRGB even if you've programmed the thing to shoot in AdobeRGB. The K200D doesn't behave like that and I can't find any way of changing the behaviour. It stuffs up the file naming system.

Enablement: LR4
Hi all! Finally, after years of using Picasa, IrfanView and a few Photoshop plugins, I finally decided to break down and get some decent image editing software for my new setup. It's definitely going to take a while to get comfortable with it. I've checked out a few of the tutorial videos at the Adobe website, which were reasonably helpful, and wonder if anyone can suggest some others that would be worth taking a look at.

OT: Enablement - the new Monitor
Got an HP S1933 display model at PC Richard for $92 with a 2 year warranty. It is pretty much plug and play but a couple of little annoyances which I'm hoping my friend Ted will help me resolve. for one thing, as I type this, it doesnt goe all the way across the new wide screen. The good news is the aspect ratio is correct - automatically picks up what is right. It destroyed my display color settings... I kinda got them back but not fully . can't figure out how to adjust brightness and contrast with the buttons on the monitor... the menu comes up and says what it is doesnt respond to mouse. Anyone got info about this? As it was a display model I didnt get an isntruction manual - I got the display monitor becaue someone bought the display computer and didnt want the screen. Just lucky that I stopped by to see it - I had gone in to check out one that was on line for $179.. 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: Enablement: LR4
Congratulations. See if you can pick up an inexpensive used copy of Scott Kelby's LR book. His humor gets a little tiresome at times, but it's a good basic primer. People who only work in lightroom like to let its database keep track of everything. I disagree with that approach because sometimes I need to find files from outside of lightroom, and sometimes I want to generate jpegs in a logical tree format. I store files into each directory in the hierarchy: Year month shoot subdirs based on the shoot. When I read the raw files into lightroom I actually load them under the year, and when I'm done processing them, I move the shoot directory inot the month. This way I can easily see which shoots I still need to process photos from. I also actually split the years up into Jan-June and July through August. So, for example, the files I'm uploading right now will go into: /Volumes /activedrive/photo/2012b/120925_felton when I'm done processing them I'll have /Volumes /activedrive/photo/2012b/1209/120925_felton/farmers_market /Volumes /activedrive/photo/2012b/1209/120925_felton/ford_pickup If you bracket shots, it's good to tag them as such, in case you ever go back to HDR process them. I also find that I like to do a multi-pass rating system on my photos. I have on several occasions wished that I'd done a better job of tagging my photos, but I at least try to get a high level tag by subject: musicians, flowers, aikido, landscape etc. So by having a rough idea of date and subject I greatly narrow down my search. Even if I don't have each musician in the band tagged in all of their photos, I can usually find the proper directory within a few minutes. On Sep 25, 2012, at 3:38 PM, Walt wrote: Hi all!

Ann, you should go to www.hp.com, type S1933 in the search box and look for the link that says support and driver package. You can download the Windows drivers with ICC profile.

Hell, no. Ours starts in the pits and goes downhill from there. We have 50 different and feuding people who get final say, then it has to be signed off by someone who hates all of them and all of us. When it's been signed off we circulate it to the different offices round the globe who get to tell us which bits they don't want us to show, so we have to translate their wishes into something that a computer can understand, then get it all signed off again, which means put back the way it was before the overseas offices made their contribution, which was only meant to be a token gesture. After that our principal donor will tell us why it doesn't adhere to their standards since they changed them last without telling us, and if we don't adhere to the standards they'll cut off our funding. So now it has to go through the full internal review process again because it's a major change, and an emergency change at that because go-live was supposed to be in July, but the emergency change board are scattered across 4 continents and 17 time zones and we can't get a quorum. Somebody important says Something must be done, so I make an arbitrary decision to go live, because that's something, therefore it must be done, and throw it over to the support team to sort out at their leisure.

Re: Enablement: LR4
If you are willing to spend a little ($25, I think) I recommend signing up at lynda.com for a month of access to their tutorials. They have a pretty good series of videos, that go over just about everything LR, soup to nuts. You could probably cobble together the same info by surfing adobe and YouTube and googling the rest, but these are pretty comprehensive, and you can follow a curriculum, instead of jumping from one topic to the next. Good luck, you will really enjoy using Lightroom, I think! :) -c On Sep 25, 2012, at 6:38 PM, Walt ldott...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all!

Re: PESO - Life's Greatest Pleasures?
Not going to comment on the scrim. I takes my photos as I find 'em. Collapsible scrims? What's next: velvet backdrops and spray bottles of glycerin? Sheesh! ;-) Okay, on the gustatory issue: Please be aware that those are not my coffee or muffin. They belong to the hands of the lovely young lady at the next table. For me, generally speaking, espresso is a stand-alone beverage. No need for cake, cookies, pastry or sweets. Like you I will have baked goods or pastry with a regular coffee. Not the chocolate chip muffin in the photo, however; it's not vegan. :-) Thanks for the comment and thanks to everyone else who looked and commented. cheers, frank What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com Sent: September 25, 2012 9/25/12 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: PESO - Life's Greatest Pleasures? Ditto what Peter says. I do like the shot though. Next time you go there, Frank, take a collapsible scrim with you to control the glare and let you raise the exposure so we can see the muffin properly. I'll come with you if you need an assistant. Mmm, chocolate. On a more technical note: don't you find that pairing a muffin with an espresso means that you run out of liquid long before you finish the muffin? It's usually three or four sips or one quick swallow and that espresso is done. I'd rather have a cup of coffee with that chocolate muffin. With an espresso, it should be a biscotti, I think.

Re: About those $2000.00 full-frame cameras...
I've got an MX that still works just fine (except the meter is pooched). I've got an SP500 (stripped down budget Spotmatic) that still functions perfectly. Two Spotmatics with sluggish shutters that likely only need a CLA (remember CLAs?). I have a Leica CL that according to the serial number was likely made in 1973 that works like a charm. I have a Yashicamat LM (the meter never worked even when I bought it some twelve years ago). I am pretty certain it was built around 1957, making it only a year younger than me. Works great! Can't imagine any current digital cameras sticking around that long.
