Re: Normal Full Frame Zoom
I think that there are a couple of rules that you can follow when discerning Good Zoom Lens designs from the pedestrian (even BEFORE looking at the pictures they produce). 1) In general, shorter focal length spreads will out-perform longer focal length spreads. Longer focal length spreads (extreme example: 28-200mm) may be convenient, since you don't have to change lenses often or carry extra lenses, but they aren't going to outperform the zooms 28-70mm and a 70-210mm (at any focal length) 2) A constant aperture zoom (if available) will generally out-perform a variable focal length zoom of the same focal length range. Example: Pentax-A 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 (variable aperture, filter size 49mm) is considered a decent lens, but the Pentax-A 35-70mm f4 (constant aperture, made for only two years, filter size 58mm) is considered a much better performer. The Pentax-A 35-105mm f3.5 is a bit of a longer focal length lens, but is a constant aperture and it is also highly regarded. (From PF reviews) A35-70mm f3.5-4.5; A35-70mm f4; A35-105mm f3.5 Sharpness: 8.3; 8.7; 9.1 Aberrations: 7.7; 8.8; 8.4 Bokeh: 7.0; 8.5; 8.3 On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 7:39 PM, Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net wrote: Yes - that is what I meant - A 28-135 f4.

For film there was an APS-C standard, and it was rigidly adhered to, if you wanted to sell a camera that used APS film cartridges.

Since your transmitter would have to go in the hot shoe, the old flash and attached radio slave would need to be on some sort of handle attachment like this oldie, but goodie.

Re: Which second party camera system do you like? Mini-survey
Just to go back to EVF's for a moment. I find it interesting that the Pentax X-5 sports Pentax's first EVF in a long while (frankly, I read that somewhere, but don't know WHAT the previous Pentax EVF product even was). The X-5 also sports an articulating LCD screen. If I were prognosticating, I would say that they were trying out some new engineering designs on a budget camera and then planning on incorporating them in more upscale cameras, down the line. It really wouldn't surprise me if there was a K-02 in the works, with both features.

Re: OT: 1958 documentary on Ansel Adams (20 min. video)
I beg to differ.
The AC in the Suburban is much better than the AC in a 46-48 Cadillac. I
was going to say orders of magnitude better, but decided we didn't
need to have that nit-picking argument again.
The major advantage for the Suburban is you can actually find them on
Craigslist. You can also set a $$ limit on your search so you only see
the ones within your price range.
But if your heart is set on a 46-48 Caddy, try Hemmings Motor News:

I once owned a Sigma 400 f4.6 APO Macro. There were several other SIgma 400mm lenses around before that one, but the APO Macro was highly regarded. The others were not held in such high esteem. Sigma used to have a very bad reputation for quality - back in the 90's - but IMO they really turned that around. That is one of the few lenses that I sold that I had wished I held onto. I wound up with a Tokina ATX 400 f5.6 which was regarded as being comparable in quality to the Sigma. In my opinion it is very close in qualty - at f8 - but lags at f5.6. Again - there were other variants of the Tokina lens - the SD for instance - but the ATX was the latest and the most highly regarded. I bought a replacement Tokina for $425 a few years ago. I tested both the Sigma and the Tokina with teleconverters and did not find the results to be satisfactory - they are already pretty slow at f5.6.

OT: The fun never ends - redux
East coast version: I know I've mentioned my on-going struggle with regard to home maintenance - getting my tools repaired so I can get to some long neglected overdue yard work. Anyway, I got the chipper/shredder back last week I've had a couple of chances to use it. It's the least hassle way for me to get rid of all the fallen limbs other yard waste around here. I don't have to cut it to specified length, don't have to bundle it a certain way, don't have to hassle with whether I've got the right kind of special yard waste bags approved by the city of Raleigh. I just chip it, shred it, compost it. Tonight I dragged the chipper/shredder up the hill beside my house to work on some stuff I'd piled up in my driveway. It nearly kicked my ass. I'm getting old. But it's still less work than dragging all the stuff around back because the chips are easier to shovel up from the driveway so I can use a wheelbarrow to move them over to my compost bin. If I do it in the back yard, half of the chips get left in the grass. It started right up and as soon as I engaged the drive lever the belt broke. Shouldn't be that big of a deal, I've got a spare drive belt. I KNOW I have a spare drive belt, because it was in my way I had to move it to get to something else JUST LAST WEEK! This week though ... Too late to go get another one tonight, so I moved the chipper/shredder back down the hill and around back so I could put it in the basement until tomorrow. -- 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: PESO - Big Chile

It appears that chile, chili and chilli are all correct - depending on location.

Sadly the hand-out must have been lost in our travels. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ Quoting Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org: I agree with Rick's first statement. While my first instinct was similar to the rest that Rick wrote, Merriam-Webster and OED think differently: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chilli M-W recognizes chile and chilli as variaants of chili. OED, which has a tendency to be somewhat biased towards British usage, (or at least show both), has the main article that is for chilli | chilly ... which they define as The dried pod of species of Capsicum or Red Pepper, esp. C. Annuum gastigiatum and frutescens. Then, in compounds they have different variants in different phrases: chili pepper n, (a) = PEPPER TREE ;.. and then ... (b) erron. = CHILLI n. Also: chilli con carne n. (also chile con carne, chili con carne) (orig. U.S.) chilli sauce n. (usu. chili sauce) (chiefly U.S.) chilli-vinegar And some draft additions for the latest versions of the dictionary (1993-2007): chiles rellenos n. [Mexican Spanish: relleno = filled, stuffed] orig. U.S. (pl.) chilli powder n. (usu. chili powder) chilli dog n. N. Amer. a hot dog topped with a serving of chilli con carne. Overall, chile/chille - seems to be the original word, as it came from Spanish (to which it came from Central American Indian language in the 16th century.) Other variants are results of adaptation into English and its dialects. OED shows the centuries when various forms appeared: 16 chille, 16-18 chile, 17 chilly, 18 chili, 16 chilli. Brian, I hope this linguistic excursion answers a part of your question. Ann has already written that these peppers were stored that way (dried), and until being eaten would serve as a decoration.

Re: Incentive to get busy learning how to use my O-GPS1
Yes, I've read about the battery issue. It sounds like it draws battery even when it is off. I've got rechargable AAAs, so I will just plan on starting with a full charge any time I plan on using it. I haven't heard anybody say that they run out before a night's session. I have a theory that the precise calibration can be pretty important and I have a plan to make mine VERY precise. It involves turning a bowling ball into a large ballhead for the precise calibration process. I plan on experimenting with the amount of time to move in each axis (you have up to 20 seconds for each of the three axis). I have the feeling that a lot of people do it too fast or inaccurately. I've also heard that people got better results when they upgraded to the latest camera firmware. My hero with the O-GPS1 (and a K-5, now K-5 iis) is a frenchman, Stéphane Poirier. His stuff is amazing. http://poirierstephane.free.fr/photos/index.php?/category/132 They are made from a stack of shorter exposures. He uses the DA* 200mm f2.8 and says that the O-GPS1 will give you 30 sec to 1 minute exposure times with that focal length (depending upon the declination of the object).

Re: Incentive to get busy learning how to use my O-GPS1
There is an official Pentax video on the cal procedure somewhere, I will try to find the link. My advice would be to do the cal then the fine cal for the astro function on site and make sure that you are well away from the car or other magnetic objects as they will affect the accuracy of the compass. I started out feeding it with Lithium batteries but have since moved on toe AAA Eneloop cells, they do discharge when the unit is off but I've never checked parasitic drain current or taken detailed notes on battery life, I just fit a new battery when the warning indicator shows. On 13 September 2013 12:55, Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, I've read about the battery issue. It sounds like it draws battery even when it is off. I've got rechargable AAAs, so I will just plan on starting with a full charge any time I plan on using it. I haven't heard anybody say that they run out before a night's session. I have a theory that the precise calibration can be pretty important and I have a plan to make mine VERY precise. It involves turning a bowling ball into a large ballhead for the precise calibration process. I plan on experimenting with the amount of time to move in each axis (you have up to 20 seconds for each of the three axis). I have the feeling that a lot of people do it too fast or inaccurately. I've also heard that people got better results when they upgraded to the latest camera firmware. My hero with the O-GPS1 (and a K-5, now K-5 iis) is a frenchman, Stéphane Poirier. His stuff is amazing. http://poirierstephane.free.fr/photos/index.php?/category/132 They are made from a stack of shorter exposures. He uses the DA* 200mm f2.8 and says that the O-GPS1 will give you 30 sec to 1 minute exposure times with that focal length (depending upon the declination of the object).

Although I still carry it in my kit, I rarely use it these days. The one time I tried the AstroTracer feature, the results were pretty bad. Overall I'm not super impressed with it.

K-5IIs First Impressions
First new Pentax I've had since the K-20D arrived yesterday. Here are the the things I liked immediately: - Locking Mode Dial - ISO/compensation buttons and location - LCD -100% Finder - Overall build quality - low-light focusing is a big improvement - price from Adorama was 995 with a $100 gift card (card was put toward battery grip) Things I didn't like: - not sure if I want the fn button back or not - a movie button would be nice but having it on the mode dial is fine - the SD card door on the K-20 feels more solid than on the K-5IIs - focus point select and four-way get in each others way I probably say this about every Pentax and I know it cuts across the grain as far as their design principle goes but it's too small for me. I bought the battery grip like I did with the K-10/20 so there's more to hold and makes it bit heavier which I like in a camera. I shot some video today and was really pleased at the results. I will put it up on the HD monitor tomorrow and see what it looks like there. Overall, I'm not disappointed. The slow low-light focusing of the K-20D was a big issue for me, the new focusing system is much improved. The new LCD is very sharp and I like the layout of the menus - easy to navigate as always (I recently had the misfortune of trying to navigate the menu on a ND7100 - and no joke, it was a nightmare). I'll really try to give it a workout over the weekend and maybe even post a picture or two. -Brendan -- Photography's greatest handicap is the ease with which the medium as such can be learned.
