Re: Camera purchase advice
Thanks, everyone, for the helpful information and opinions. I passed the on to my friend, and now she thinks I really know something about cameras. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 5:40 PM, Brian Walters apathy...@lyons-ryan.org wrote: Quoting John sesso...@earthlink.net: A friend from one of my local camera clubs recently acquired the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and brought it round to show off at our weekly brunch. I have a lot of trouble focusing using the little TV screen on the back with most point 'n shoots and mirrorless systems, but his Olympus has a very nice EVF that zooms tilts up so you can look down into it if you're shooting macro close to the ground. Reminiscent of the LX sports finder. The little TV screen on the back also tilts is a touch-screen if you prefer to use that. In-body image stabilization. The real downside is I think the body is expensive, $1299 at BH. That's a lot of money for a camera that's going to require me to get all new lenses, although there may be an adapter from Novoflex for Pentax-K, but I had trouble navigating their site, so I didn't even try to find out about older Canon lenses. The E-M1 is the top of the range - there are less-expensive OM-Ds that are just as capable as any enthusiast DSLR. You can get adapters for pretty much any legacy lens and the cheap E-Bay ones work just fine. Not that I'm trying to move anyone away from Pentax but mirrorless is the future (in my opinion only, for what that's worth) and Ricoh needs to get competitive in that market. Cheers Brian If I was starting out NEW with no legacy glass, I'd give the Olympus serious consideration.

I explained pro's and con's of different options, but I recommended something like a micro-4/3. (And he and his daughter were vrey happy.) I don't think a DSLR is warranted at this point unless somebody specifically wants a DSLR (and has some good idea why). (I wouldn't recommend Pentax Q. - That's more of an anthusiast toy, not the main camera.) Alternatively, if interchangeable lenses are not a must, I'd suggest something like Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 with a fast (1.4 or 1.7) lens and plenty of controls. There are similar cameras from 3-4 other makers, including Canon, but I like advanced PS from Panasonic, so, I don't recall other models at the moment. Igor Daniel J.

She would like a comera with interchangeable lenses. She has 2 decent lenses from her FTb, but I don't think they would work on newer digital Canons. Rechargeable batteries are preferable to the ones that use and eat up AAs or similar batteries. Any suggestions I can pass on?

Taken with a Pentax K-3 and Sigma EX 10-20mm f4-5.6 in the back forty on an abandoned farmstead in northwest Kansas. I believe that this paint color in 1959 was called Frost Blue Poly but I like how its hue is repeated in the sky. https://goo.gl/TQ1oU1 Comments and criticism welcome in equal measure. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- 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. -- 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. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: GESO: Pentax Q close-up work.
Nice set that shows the potential of the extension tubes for macro. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

You can set no-script to temporarily allow scripts to run from the top-level domains.

I am not sure if absence of the flash plug-in is also helpful or not. I suspect you have one like that. However, for many sites these days Javascript is needed and cannot be disabled in the main browser.

Re: OT - sham cancer charities
If it is not listed on Charity Navigator, I do not trust the charity. Well, I'm involved with the Fallen and Wounded Soldiers Fund - a Michigan based operation that is totally run by volunteers - there are no salaries paid - ZERO. Last year almost a half a million dollars was given to needy Michigan vets. Around 96% of all monies raised are given to needy vets and their families. The rest is used for promotional services. Its not recognized by the Charity Navigator Website ! Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Daniel J.
