PESOs: Aramoana
Aramoana is a small beach town about 20km north of Dunedin, at the end of a scenic coastal road. The town is infamous for being the location of New Zealand's worst massacre where 13 people were shot dead in November 1990. As such I've always been a bit apprehensive about visiting. The town is part of a popular training route for cyclists so I decided it was time to pay it a visit. I don't carry a proper camera when riding so here are a couple of cellphone snaps. It was hard to imagine such a sleepy community being the scene of such a tragic event. http://www.multi.net.nz/aramoana/ If you want to know more about the town, Wikipedia should do the trick. For the record I had a crazy head wind on the way out. I returned via the hill road from Port Chalmers - it was further than I'd expected to go (about 67km in total) but well worth the effort.

Joseph, Peter and Ecke, Thank you much for your replies. Joseph, you may be right about its usage as a paper weight in the end; it will be a handsome one, though ;) Peter, the flange distance will probably be very short (less than that of most SLRs), I believe.

I guess this is a lens for projection devices and was built in, perhaps, nineteen forties. It does not seem to be coated. No diaphragm is present. Likewise, no focusing ring... It seems to have two elements (or, groups) at each end. Glass seems fine. It is 140mm long and the diameter is about 76 mm. The middle part consists of a 88 mm- long bright (chrome?) metal. I wonder if I can use this as anything other than a USD 20 paper weight. Can I, perhaps, built a camera which exposes a sensitized surface via this lens? Sort of a view camera?

Re: What is this : Kipronar f=13cm
2011/6/6 Bulent Celasun bulent.cela...@gmail.com: It can perhaps be used as a reverse macro lens; who knows? Doubt it. As a projection lens it has a short register distance but probaby is designed to focus at longer distances. I read in an astrophotography forum that they make great oculars when mounted to a Plössler eyepiece (whatever that is). If you invert them, you will probably find that you have to go much too close to make it focus. You are probably better off to try putting it on a long throw bellows or a stack of extension tubes. Either way it will not let you stop down so you will have a pretty thin slice of DOF to deal with. I will let the list know if I can make any progress. Nonetheless I look forward very much to your finding.

Focus!!
I remain frustrated at my inability to get well-focused shots. Saturday I was out exploring neighborhoods around the community in which I work and had my camera along. I came across an adult pickup soccer game on one of the school playing fields. I stopped and sat in the shade with a group guys who were taking a break from the game. Then I went out of the field and shot about a 100 images. I was looking forward to seeing the result. It was sunny mid-morning. The camera's a *ist DS. The lens was an M 135/3.5. ISO was 200. Aperture was mostly around f11. About half the images were shot at 1/250, half at 1/180. I kept focus set at infinity. I thought surely, at that speed, with that focus, at the distance at which I was shooting I'd get a few sharp well-composed images. A handful -- less than five -- are so-so, but not really sharp. The rest are all fuzzy. Why can't I get a sharp image?

Re: Focus!!
I'll second the use of the hyperfocal distance setting with an MF lens. Also up some perfect conditions for yourself, e.g., subject at a known distance, steady the camera, etc, and see how they come out. Try to get a sense of how good focus actually looks int he viewfinder. BTW, just for kicks, be sure the diopter setting is accurate. The preceding has been has been a message from someone who has screwed up all of these.

Re: Focus!!
Eric, When you focus at any particular distance one third of the depth of field (DOF) is between you and the focused distance, the other two thirds is beyond the focused distance. Therefore when you focus at infinity you squander two thirds of your DOF. The lens you used has a DOF scale on it. In theory you can use use the whole DOF and improve your chance of adequate sharpness by setting the furthest mark on the DOF scale that corresponds to your current aperture against the most distant point you want to be sharp, or infinity if you will. In practice its always better to use the marks of the next larger aperture, because Japanese DOF scales tend to be basede on smaller print sizes than, say, European DOF scales. This is called using the hyperfocal distance. Some Pentax manual focus lenses had their f8 engraving plus the two DOF marks for f8 coloured red so that you could quickly set up hyperfocal distance for f8. As they say, f8 and be there. regards, Anthony Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight (Anon) On 6 June 2011 22:40, Eric Weir eew...@bellsouth.net wrote: I remain frustrated at my inability to get well-focused shots.

A football pitch is typically 360' by 160' (pinched from wikipedia ;-) I'm assuming you're standing on the closest sideline to the action? So the players are less than 80' away, yet with a 135mm lens @ f/11 focused to infinity nothing's sharp until you get out to 265'! ( http://www.dofmaster.com/doftable.html ) ...and then as Doug says, motion blur. I'd probably try ISO 400 @ 1/400s (to help with motion blur) f/16 and focused closer, say 40' or 50' (both to help with DoF). That gets you everything from 30' to 50' (or 40' to 70') in focus. I'd say that focusing at the hyperfocal distance even at f/16 still doesn't get you close enough. -- Eric -- 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.

Or rather, it just happens to be true for some focus distances, but is not true in general. For example: If you focus at the hyperfocal distance, the DOF in front of the focused distance is finite, and the distance behind is infinite. So 0% (finite/infinite) is in front of the focused distance. At the other extreme, in macro photography, the DOF is split nearly equally front/back. -- 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.

My backup plan for the past few years has been to store all my photos on two external hard drives - No.1 is permanently attached to the computer and No.2 is kept off site (sort of - since I retired, a true off site solution is no longer practical). I back up to No.1 almost daily and to No.2 every couple of weeks. Anyway, drive No.1 has been flaky for a few months now but is still working. I haven't been too concerned because No.2 is up to date and I thought I'd get around to replacing No.1 when it finally carked. Unfortunately, when I connected No.2 last night - nothing. Not even a 'device not recognised message and no disk spinning sounds for the drive case. So there I was with all of my past 6 years of photo files on two drives, one of which could turn up its toes at any minute and another which had suddenly become inaccessible. Fortunately it didn't, so all of my image files are now 'safely' on a new external drive. The only downside is that I've got another few fun filled hours doing the same thing to a second new drive.

Re: Focus!!
You can't just shoot at infinity or any other fixed focus setting and expect to get good results. Subjects that are in the range of DOF will be somewhat sharp, but not critically. You're probably getting some motion blur at that speed as well. For shooting sports, go to a smaller stop, perhaps 5.6, and a higher shutter speed, 1/500th or more, and focus on the target. With the *istDS, you'll probably have to focus manually to nail it. Paul On Jun 6, 2011, at 8:40 AM, Eric Weir wrote: I remain frustrated at my inability to get well-focused shots.

Words cannot describe how exhausted I am now. I'm now at my friends' place in nearby Ashe county having a beer after a sound afternoon nap. I think this was the best, smoothest running GFM ever. It certainly bodes well for the future as founder Don Nelson reduces his involvement with the event and Doug Brewer and I take over more of the management role. (We're already scheming about 2012.) The 10th anniversary of the original PDML meet-up at Grandfather Mountain had a smaller PDML turnout than usual, but fully 50% of the original 6 from ten years ago were present: Myself, Doug Brewer and Bill Owens. I really must apologize to John Sessoms and Ted Beilby for not being able to spend more time with them during the weekend. I always want to take advantage of the rare opportunities to meet with PDML members in person when the opportunity arises but this event is a major time sink. On Saturday I did my annual photography hike, again on the Profile Trail, but this year had only Pentax shooter and occasional PDML lurker John Weber for company. None the less, our trek yielded some good photos for me and a *prize-winner* for John. Not bad, all things considered. John and I also hatched a scheme to take advantage of the unusually clear weather to try to get sunrise photos from the Cragway Trail on Sunday morning. This trail has stunning views but is usually socked-in with fog in the morning (Doug and I tried a pre-dawn photo expedition there a couple of years ago and enjoyed 50-yard visibility during sunrise). We planned a 4:30 AM departure, which seemed reasonable at the time. We soon found an extra 4 people added to the expedition. We were up at 4:15 an on the trail only slightly later than planned (due to the extra difficulty of coordinating the larger group) but made our way to the spot called Top Crag View by 5:50 after an aggressively-paced hike up the trail. Hiking difficult trails by the light of headlamps in pitch darkness is an acquired taste. Despite the unusual lack of fog, sunrise was obscured by a bank of clouds on the eastern horizon, but there were some fairly good photographs to be had and everyone enjoyed the hike. Still, the early start made for a long day... Photo contest judging and awards preparation were completed ahead of schedule(!) and the contest entries were some of the best ever. I think the Doug and Mark Show was one of the best ever, too. It really helps when you're prepared and relaxed. Amazing, huh? But the 4:15 AM start made for a long day and even with an afternoon nap I'm fading now. I've backed up all my SD and CF cards onto the laptop and I'm going to quit work for the day and relax. I still have two presentations to prepare for later in the week but for now I'm just going to chill a bit. I'll have photos and more videos on line soon.

Re: Focus!!
Hold your pinky finger at arms length. compare it to the scene you want to photograph, that is the smallest detail that will be resolved by your 135mm lens at f11, (I got that by looking at the stopped down diagram of a 135mm from the front by the way, a usefull trick, sometimes). if it's outside of the DOF for the focus point. The DOF for a 135mm lens is pretty limited and focused at infinity the near limit is more than 100 yards away. I'm surprised you got anything that looked to be remotely in focus. Another problem is that on the DS a 135mm lens is ~200mm on 35mm. I know that 1/200 is rule of thumb but really there is going to be some camera movement, unless you're using the best possible hand holding technique and face it in the excitement that's just not going to happen. So here's my advice. The DS has pretty clean output at ISO 800. If you want to rely on DOF, then, under the conditions you described, you can stop down to f22 and set your focus point at 40 feet. The lens opening is about twice the size of a match head, so if your prints are small enough a lot more will appear to be in focus, and everything between 30 and 50 feet away will be sharp. However you'll still have camera movement. You probably want to keep the shutter speeds above 1/400 so I hate to say this but you'll probably have to open up to f11 and actually change focus to follow the action. I know you've complained in the past about having trouble manually focusing, but there's really no way around it.

Therefore when you focus at infinity you squander two thirds of your DOF. That's an often-repeated statement, but it's not true. Or rather, it just happens to be true for some focus distances, but is not true in general. Actually, Matthew, you have it backwards. My statement is true in general but just happens NOT to be true for some focus distances. Lots of formulae get wobbly when they're pushed towards infinity, so I won't apologise for this. When the numbers are single to three or four figures the principle holds up. For example: If you focus at the hyperfocal distance, the DOF in front of the focused distance is finite, and the distance behind is infinite. So 0% (finite/infinite) is in front of the focused distance. While I concede the already mentioned problem of numbers getting rubbery near infinity, dont forget that in practical photographic terms infinity happens very early. Even with the longest lenses in common use we will in practice reach infinity in the four figure range at most, whether metres or feet. That pretty much explodes the concept of infinity as a bottomless pit from a photographic point-of-view. A lens doesn't have to focus all the way to infinity, either. It's enough for it to focus parallel rays from a point, e.g. a star, to a circle no larger than the circle of least confusion at the lens's largest aperture. For a number of reasons a lens doesn't need, could never achieve, and could never use an infinitely small circle of confusion anyway. But, and again in practical terms, by the time those near infinity distances are reached, DOF is generous enough that it doesn't matter. From moderately close-up (less than true macro) to near-infinity (but measureable) distances the one third in front, two thirds behind rule is as correct as you'll get. At the other extreme, in macro photography, the DOF is split nearly equally front/back. Sometimes vagaries enter the calculations because we use thick lenses having two nodal points, sometimes outside the body of the lens itself, whereas simple optical principles assume a thin lens. All lenses behave as thin lenses at longer focused distances, the area of the original discussion. When we get into the realm of larger-than-lifesize macro, in other words exceeding 1:1 reproduction ratios, the rules get turned on their heads. The usual numerical relationships between object, lens and image get upended, the object and the image swap their places in the equations (but don't overthink it, they stay in their same relative positions). That's the reason we turn lenses backwards at larger-than-lifesize macro, to keep all the optical corrections on the correct sides of their equations. 1:1 is the tipping point where the relationship of everything is equal on either side of the lens. To make a long story short, my statement is true in general but just happens NOT to be true for some focus distances. regards, Anthony Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight (Anon) -- 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: June PUG - Submission Deadline Extended
My bad Stan, and all. My eyes deluded me for some reason, locking the date of the 14th into my onboard calendar. Searching for and finding the PF mail I got, I see it reads the 18th. Knowing PF, I'm slightly suspicious that they changed the date after I received their mail. My apologies to any who became over excited about the possibility of yet another photo contest. One of us would have won the 40mm limited for best image, I'm sure.

Having looked at the details again, though, I see that the next one is on June 18 - so extending the PUG deadline to the 14th, isn't much use.

Therefore when you focus at infinity you squander two thirds of your DOF. That's an often-repeated statement, but it's not true. Or rather, it just happens to be true for some focus distances, but is not true in general. Actually, Matthew, you have it backwards. My statement is true in general but just happens NOT to be true for some focus distances. I am using in general in the mathematical, not colloquial, sense. Your statement is true for one focal distance. It is wrong, by some amount, for all other focal distances. Lots of formulae get wobbly when they're pushed towards infinity, so I won't apologise for this. When the numbers are single to three or four figures the principle holds up. Did you happen to notice that we're talking about a lens set to infinity? It's certainly relevant to this discussion. From moderately close-up (less than true macro) to near-infinity (but measureable) distances the one third in front, two thirds behind rule is as correct as you'll get. O RLY? At 10 feet, for the 135mm lens in question at f/11, the split is 0.48 : 0.52. At 20 feet, the split is 0.46 : 0.54. At 40 feet, the split is 0.43 : 0.57. Those are moderate distances; neither true macro nor infinity. Only at 88 feet is the split 0.33 : 0.67. To make a long story short, my statement is true in general but just happens NOT to be true for some focus distances. No, it's the opposite. It is true at a specific focus distance, namely 1/3 of the hyperfocal distance. It's wrong, to various degrees, at any other focus distance. The near:far ratio varies continuously from 0 to 1 as the focus distance goes from hyperfocal to 1:1 macro. There's no reason to pick out a 1/3 : 2/3 split as a special value to build a rule around; it's just one point in the middle. -- 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: Stupid Google Maps
There are a couple of things going on here. Obe is that Google tries to give you the fastest route between your origin and the destination, so you're likely to end up on interstate highways. If you force the route to go along Skyline drive (by dragging intermediate points), you'll see another one of the contributing factors.

RE: Stupid Google Maps
Google maps allows you to make routes and get driving directions by marking locations for Directions from here and Directions to here. Gives distances and turns, etc. BUT ... If you're trying to find the distance between two points on the Blue Ridge Parkway, fageddaboutit! I'm trying to plot out a fall color trip. I want to drive up to the north entrance to Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive and make my way all the way down to the southern terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway down at Great Smokey Mountains National Park in Cherokee, NC. The most direct route is straight down Skyline Drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, but Google won't have it. Does OK for the trip up to Front Royal, VA and for the trip back home from Cherokee, NC. But it just won't give me a map that goes along the parkways. that looks like a great trip.

Interesting set: Pentax-M 50mm with Olympus IS/L A-Life Size H.Q. Converter
Thought I'd share this with the class. I stumbled across this set (not mine) while researching the (very hard to find) Olympus IS/L A-Life Size H.Q. Converter. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimmy74/sets/72157605593657170/detail/ I was very pleased to actually find one of these 3 element achromats (7.7 diopters) which attach to 49mm filter size. It is on its way to the UPS truck as I type this. I'm interested in trying it on all manner of 49mm filter sized lenses. The extraordinarily shallow depth of field doesn't work in all cases, but when it does it renders nearly abstract works of art (IMHO). Part of this kit also included the very well-regarded .8x and 1.5x Olympus IS/L converters, and another 2.5 diopter Olympus IS/L A-macro, which should also make for some fun testing.
