I really liked this lens because it's fast, sharp and has a focal length that fits my needs. Also, it is much easier to carry and hold than my FA* 80-200/2.8 which can provide the same 2.8 aperture at 100 mm. The lens only fell about 1-1/2 feet but fell on asphalt and hit on the corner of the filter ring while mounted on my K-5. The lens is totally jammed. The focus ring won’t turn at all and filter ring is slight bent. My questions are: 1) Where do I send it? Is the Pentax shop in CO my only/best option. 2) What is your experience with getting lens repairs? Can they fix it? Will the cost be worthwhile. I really don’t want to give up this lens but I also doubt I could replace it.

Re: *ist D: Complete step by step conversion to infrared
I did some IR work with the R-72 on an *istD as well. It was a nice combination. Now I have that very expensive filter sitting in a drawer. On Sep 14, 2013, at 9:44 PM, Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net wrote: I really liked the IR images that the *ist-D took. I mostly used an RM-90 filter (since I inherited oen - my father used to use it with Kodak HIE) but I later used an R-72. Very long shutter speeds with the RM90, better with the R-72. I now have an IR converted K-1)D, but I use it much less than I thought I would. The *ist-D was nice iwth the filters, but the workflow was a PITA, swapping on a filter that did not allow you to see your composition before shooting. Mark On 9/14/2013 10:45 AM, Darren Addy wrote: I should add that the *ist D and a filter makes a great infrared camera WITHOUT conversion too, as our own Mark Cassino shows: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/cat49/ The only disadvantage is that you have longer shutter speeds so it normally needs to be tripod mounted. Doing the conversion allow you to handhold most IR exposures and use the camera's metering system.

Auto-identification of objects in your astrophotos
Just thought I would pass this along for any who are doing astrophotography with their O-GPS1. If you would like to have the objects in your image identified you can do this by joining the Astrometry Group on Flickr. Submit your image to that group and it will be analyzed and then a comment will be posted on your photograph like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveh64/8560937726/ (not my image - used for demo purposes). Aside: That is not a bad image, considering it was taken with a 300mm f5.6 lens. (It is a stack of 15 separate shorter exposures). The object NGC 3528 in that image has an apparent magnitude of 14.8. To know that objects THAT FAINT are within reach of such modest equipment is very encouraging.

Re: *ist D: Complete step by step conversion to infrared
I've never seen a dslr torn down to the sensor and pcb board before. quite honestly, an ist conversion doesn't look that hard if you take great pains to put everything back together in the same order. that said, I don't think I will be trying this. I guess the ist didn't have shake reduction, so this kind of conversion is a lot easier.

I mostly used an RM-90 filter (since I inherited oen - my father used to use it with Kodak HIE) but I later used an R-72. Very long shutter speeds with the RM90, better with the R-72. I now have an IR converted K-1)D, but I use it much less than I thought I would. The *ist-D was nice iwth the filters, but the workflow was a PITA, swapping on a filter that did not allow you to see your composition before shooting.

OT: Fixing a failed Hard Drive
Well, I thought I'd post this here in case anyone needs to know one way to fix a dead hard drive. We had a hellacious thunderstorm come through a couple of weeks ago and with it the requisite amount of earth shaking thunder and lightning. I had my Dell desktop PC on at the time and we had a power spike followed by a brief black out. When the power came back on the computer appeared just fine (it is plugged into a surge protector which did not trip). A couple of days later after a few start ups I heard the clicking sound of death from my primary HD. It still managed to boot and the clicking went away so I ran a defrag and disk clean and it appeared that the drive was working perfectly. Two boots later, nothing. Clicking returned and BIOS wouldn't recognize the drive. Since this drive is partly backed up and doesn't contain anything mission critical I decided I would attempt to fix it myself. After searching the net for all kinds of advice (including some really bad ideas about heating and freezing the drive) I opted to swap the PCB board from a like drive and give that a go. $17 drive off eBay arrived and I swapped boards. Clicking stopped, drive spun, but unfortunately it still wasn't recognized in the BIOS. Bummer. I got a low-cost external drive enclosure so that I could more easily test the unit on another Dell laptop. And after many fruitless and frustrating attempts to get the computer to see the hard drive I finally found a site that explained that the 8-pin ROM chip from the failed drive's PCB needs to be swapped to the good donor board on some drives. Ok, this isn't the easiest thing to do correctly by a shade tree mechanic like me, but I gave it a go. You cannot use a soldering iron, you have to heat the chip contacts with a heat gun and remove the chip with tweezers. It's not easy and my first attempt failed to secure the contacts on one side of the chip. Luckily, and miraculously, a second attempt with the heat gun (modified with a snout made from aluminum foil making a narrow tip) secured the contacts when I applied light pressure to the top of the chip. Drive came back to life on next attempt to connect via USB. Proceeded to quickly copy any and all needed files. After all this, the rest of the weekend is pure gravy. note to self: back up ALL of your drives, dummy Figured I'd post this since there are innumerable sites referencing the control board swap but few mention the ROM swap needed for some drives.

On 15/9/13, Daniel J. Matyola, discombobulated, unleashed: Were these taken with a Palm, or is treo a British variant of trio? Many thanks Dan, and to all who replied. The camera is a Fujifilm X-10. I was shooting jpegs and I have the camera set to either shoot colour or jpegs, switching at will between the two. The moody cloud was very dark and just needed levels tweaking to get the contrast right. The square fence/bush was very dark cloud behind, with sunshine in the foreground on the fence/bush so aside from a tweak of increase of contrast, is as seen. The colour shot had an optimising of contrast and that's it!

Re: OT - Lens Adaptors
Of the Fuji X, the XE-1 seems to be the sweet spot. A couple of folks I talk with bought an X-Pro1, then an XE-1, and then sold the X-Pro1, citing that the EVF was both better and more useful to them than the X-Pro1's EVF, and you can always fit an OVF to the XE-1 if you want an optical finder for some lens. I have little interest in the Fujis for myself, but I know lots of people like them. But it seems to be the season. I got back into Micro-FourThirds with a used E-PL1 a few months back (bought cheap and for fun) because I still had some oddity lenses that only work on mFT: it's amazing how good a camera the little junker is despite its many limitations as the then bottom-of-the-line status. After some consideration, I ordered one of the newly announced Olympus E-M1 bodies yesterday, should be here in October. It's the natural follow-on to my E-1 and E-5 SLRs, but with the short Micro-FourThirds mount register it will let me use all my FT SLR lenses as well as all my Leica M-Bayonet stuff too. So of course, I need lens adapters for my Leica M and R lenses. I ordered a pair of Novoflex adapters ... The Metabones adapter that I acquired for M-mFT is junk, I'm returning it, and the Kipon I got for R-FT SLR is ok but has more play than I like. Typical inexpensive adapter stuff. The Novoflex are the best available, the Voigtländer and Rayqual are right behind them. I found one Novoflex adapter used at a big discount, so the two as a pair cost me about what the Rayqual adapters would. Fun fun fun. I'll be spending the next month reading the E-M1 manual ... this is, like the other Olympus pro cameras, a complex camera with LOTs of customizations and features to work with. Hopefully Lightroom will be enabled for its raw files by the time it arrives, but if not I'll be learning how to get the most out of its JPEG engine for a bit. G Equipment is transitory.

I ran around with the Olympus E-1 fitted with my Leica Summicron-R 50mm f/2 a couple of weekends ago ... it produced beautiful results, quite different from what the (also superb) ZD 50mm f/2 Macro produces. For me, there's a place for all of this stuff. I had one of the Pentax 17/4 lenses a while back, adapting it to the Panasonic G1. The combination produced some very interesting photographs, a couple of which won some exhibition awards. It's not so fish eye on the smaller and more square FourThirds format, though: it will likely be more entertaining on APS-C due to the more oblong format proportion.

Re: OT - PK to Fuji X adaptor?
The 14mm is a super lens. I've managed to purchase it, along with an X-E1 backup / 2nd body, with the money I've got so far from recycling my Pentax lenses. Once I've finished recycling, there should be enough for the 23mm when it becomes available. So I will have managed a system swap at more or less neutral cost (if you ignore the minor point of the cost of the X-Pro 1 which was a special birthday present). There is still a place in my system for Pentax lenses and an adaptor. I'm keeping a few MF ones (along with some film bodies) and will use those for focal length that Fuji lenses don't cover, The 28, 50 and 135mm are particularly useful just now. And how else will I be eligible for a place in the PDML annual?

Re: OT - PK to Fuji X adaptor
While I agree with Bill, that all things equal, it's preferable to have a new first party lens to retain all the benefits of a modern camera body, I don't share his cynical view of lens adapters and use of third party lenses. :) I've PK to e-mount and NikonF to e-mount adapters for the NEX-7 and 5. In fact just within the hour I purchased a Super Takumar 300/4 for use with it and now will need an M42 to e-mount adapter. :))) It'll be very specialized use, always tripod mounted and generally pointing up. I've read there may be a red fringe issue that can be corrected in post, and sample images I've seen are quite good. There's a whole sub-culture of NEX, 4/3, and Fuji users that are producing wonderful images with legacy lenses. Not everyone eschews them. How was your trip to BC, Bill?

Re: OT - Lens Adaptors
Interesting reading Godfrey, many thanks. Of the Fuji X, the XE-1 seems to be the sweet spot. A couple of folks I talk with bought an X-Pro1, then an XE-1, and then sold the X-Pro1, citing that the EVF was both better and more useful to them than the X- Pro1's EVF, and you can always fit an OVF to the XE-1 if you want an optical finder for some lens. I have little interest in the Fujis for myself, but I know lots of people like them. But it seems to be the season. I got back into Micro-FourThirds with a used E-PL1 a few months back (bought cheap and for fun) because I still had some oddity lenses that only work on mFT: it's amazing how good a camera the little junker is despite its many limitations as the then bottom-of-the-line status. After some consideration, I ordered one of the newly announced Olympus E-M1 bodies yesterday, should be here in October. It's the natural follow-on to my E-1 and E-5 SLRs, but with the short Micro-FourThirds mount register it will let me use all my FT SLR lenses as well as all my Leica M-Bayonet stuff too. So of course, I need lens adapters for my Leica M and R lenses. I ordered a pair of Novoflex adapters ... The Metabones adapter that I acquired for M-mFT is junk, I'm returning it, and the Kipon I got for R- FT SLR is ok but has more play than I like. Typical inexpensive adapter stuff. The Novoflex are the best available, the Voigtländer and Rayqual are right behind them. I found one Novoflex adapter used at a big discount, so the two as a pair cost me about what the Rayqual adapters would. Fun fun fun. I'll be spending the next month reading the E-M1 manual ... this is, like the other Olympus pro cameras, a complex camera with LOTs of customizations and features to work with. Hopefully Lightroom will be enabled for its raw files by the time it arrives, but if not I'll be learning how to get the most out of its JPEG engine for a bit. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Production --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- 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: GESO Artisans of the Metropolis
Thank you, Chris. Yeah, high ISO on the K20D is like bumble bees flying: if you don't know it supposedly can't be done, you just go ahead and do it.

RE: Fixing a failed Hard Drive
I had a similar experience after a short circuit on the power lead to a card-reader in one PC, which caused a power drop on all the devices in the office! From then on, that computer would not recognise the hard drive at all, after both hard and soft boots. In the end, I used an external drive enclosure (Digitec XC4690) which can mount both SATA and IDE drives to a USB port, and lo and behold, it sprang to life again. Since then, on a couple of occasions that PC has been powered down and I had to resort to the same process, but oddly enough a warm boot does not need me to do so. I suspect a poor contact after reading Brendan's excellent report. John Coyle Brisbane, Australia -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Brendan MacRae Sent: Monday, 16 September 2013 1:02 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: OT: Fixing a failed Hard Drive Well, I thought I'd post this here in case anyone needs to know one way to fix a dead hard drive. We had a hellacious thunderstorm come through a couple of weeks ago and with it the requisite amount of earth shaking thunder and lightning. I had my Dell desktop PC on at the time and we had a power spike followed by a brief black out. When the power came back on the computer appeared just fine (it is plugged into a surge protector which did not trip). A couple of days later after a few start ups I heard the clicking sound of death from my primary HD. It still managed to boot and the clicking went away so I ran a defrag and disk clean and it appeared that the drive was working perfectly. Two boots later, nothing. Clicking returned and BIOS wouldn't recognize the drive. Since this drive is partly backed up and doesn't contain anything mission critical I decided I would attempt to fix it myself. After searching the net for all kinds of advice (including some really bad ideas about heating and freezing the drive) I opted to swap the PCB board from a like drive and give that a go. $17 drive off eBay arrived and I swapped boards. Clicking stopped, drive spun, but unfortunately it still wasn't recognized in the BIOS. Bummer. I got a low-cost external drive enclosure so that I could more easily test the unit on another Dell laptop. And after many fruitless and frustrating attempts to get the computer to see the hard drive I finally found a site that explained that the 8-pin ROM chip from the failed drive's PCB needs to be swapped to the good donor board on some drives. Ok, this isn't the easiest thing to do correctly by a shade tree mechanic like me, but I gave it a go. You cannot use a soldering iron, you have to heat the chip contacts with a heat gun and remove the chip with tweezers. It's not easy and my first attempt failed to secure the contacts on one side of the chip. Luckily, and miraculously, a second attempt with the heat gun (modified with a snout made from aluminum foil making a narrow tip) secured the contacts when I applied light pressure to the top of the chip. Drive came back to life on next attempt to connect via USB. Proceeded to quickly copy any and all needed files. After all this, the rest of the weekend is pure gravy. note to self: back up ALL of your drives, dummy Figured I'd post this since there are innumerable sites referencing the control board swap but few mention the ROM swap needed for some drives. For reference this is an 3.5 IDE 160GB WD Caviar from about 2006. -Brendan -- Photography's greatest handicap is the ease with which the medium as such can be learned.

OT: speaking of computer tales of woe...
So I blew a piece of my savings and bought a nice new computer: an iMac 3.2gz/8gb/1tb/27. It arrived on Thursday, and I spent much of that day and Friday setting up and configuring. By Friday night I had it pretty much the way I wanted it, so I shut it down. I then decided to move it slightly closer to me on my desk. I leaned forward and pulled it towards me…whereupon I learned that the 27 iMac is rather top-heavy. It toppled over and hit me on the top of the head. There was a noise as the glass front over the display cracked and split…and I got a bunch of glass shards embedded in my head. After cleaning my bloody head up, I tried to start the computer…and it booted just fine. Everything works, including the display, though the glass over it is full of cracks. Had it less than two days... I am taking it in to the local Apple service dealer on Monday or Tuesday for repairs. Geez.
