Re: Equipment Changes
So far I'm finding the IBIS to work at least as well - perhaps better than Pentax. Or at least because it is always liveview you can see it in action. I find that to be very helpful when focusing one of the longer Pentax lenses - press the shutter halfway down and the lens stabilizes while trying to focus - makes it much easier. -- Bruce On June 19, 2015 1:02:33 PM PDT, Charles Robinson charl...@visi.com wrote: To that end, I have done the following: My daughter has been given my fairly new K-5iis and DA* 16-50 and DA* 50-135 I have purchased an Olympus OM-D E-M10 with small kit lens and small telezoom.

Re: Question for 645 owners: what tripod system do you use?
RRS ballhead, the 55mm version. Mine has been around to both Antarctica and Svalbard, and to the deserts of Nevada and Jordan. Durable and stable. For tripod legs, I currently use an Induro carbon fibre thingy. Nice and stable, but the tightening mechanism is a bit fiddly. OTOH, it remains stable and tight over a large range of temperatures.

Ok, forget that last post.

FS Friday: AF-540 FGZ flash - price reduced
Re-listing this here... perhaps I was asking for too much the first time around. It's about 8 years old, I think? It's the original model, not the II. I realized recently that I almost never shoot with flash, since getting the K5. And when I *do* use flash, it's a party camera which the K5 with AF540 definitely is NOT. I've never had any issues with it beyond design limitations. It comes with a soft case and that little round base you'd use if you were standing this up as a slave somewhere. $150 + shipping - or, heck, what is it worth to you? Paypal accepted, but I'm open to other methods of payment from fellow Pentaxians here on the list. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- 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: ACR 9.1
I'm writing this on my work computer, a late-2008 MBP. Two weeks ago I replaced the hard disk with an SSD, and did a clean install of Yosemite. (Actually, clean install is misleading with the hospital's crap-encrusted version of Yosemite; rather like a clean install of a muck-covered pig into your living room). In any case, there haven't been any disasters yet, only inconveniences that are gradually sorting out. The speed gain from the SSD makes any performance loss from Yosemite trivial.

I just visited the Ricoh-Imaging web site, and it appears that they've hired the same people who designed the current Vivitar website to revamp their's.

Re: Perhaps the reports of the K-50's demise are premature.
Actually I was wrong, they're just being big teases, while you can specify custom colors you can't actually order them. So the website is just not up to date, even though it's had a design refresh. So what it means is that Ricoh has been taking lessons from the US government on web site development. On 6/19/2015 1:56 PM, P.J.

Re: Perhaps the reports of the K-50's demise are premature.
They are probably clearing old stock still. Just a guess. On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 1:56 PM, P.J.

Re: Equipment Changes
I have an Olympus E-PL5 as my little camera, and if you're looking to expand your lens selection, I can recommend the little Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. I love the 40mm-equivalent field of view (reminds me of my Canonet rangefinder), and I find the lens to be very sharp and to draw beautifully, with smooth transition between sharp focus and blurred background. It might be my favorite lens that I own. (The one caveat is that in very low light/high ISO situations, some electronic interference causes banding noise when this lens is used with Olympus 16MP sensor cameras. I've seen it now and then, but on the whole I still love the lens.)

Re: Equipment Changes
My little camera is an iPhone 6. Pretty damn good with 29 mm fob and f2 ap.

Sounds likes plan! If I ever quit shooting cars and birds, I might do the same.
