Re: Well this sux.

[P. J. Alling]

Hell I've got a couple of those, what I want is a working AF200T, it 
fits in my little tiny bag with the M85 f2.0 and A 24 f2.8 and is good 
for a bit of extra illumination in a pinch.


The AF280T is relatively big and bulky, pretends to be a professional 
unit, but never seems to have enough light output when I really need it.


But I'll keep that offer in mind.  You never know.

I was using the AF200T with my digital cameras, and been pretty happy with
the results.  Sure it's not P-TTL, but as far as it goes, having it's own
sensor, the fact that it actually sets the recommended f stop and shutter
speed when the camera is in program mode with an A class  or later lens, was
convenient.

It also worked well with K/M lenses though it obviously loses even the small
amount of automation supported with modern digital interface cameras.

Within it's limited parameters it gave good exposures, is compact, and now
it's broken.  It just stopped firing, either when mounted to the camera or
when the test button is pressed.  Based on that I'm pretty sure that I know
what's wrong, it has a blown secondary capacitor.

It would probably be an easy fix, if I had a schematic, but finding the part
without one wouldn't be cost effective, let alone the effort involved, for a
flash I could probably replace for $10.   Worse it would probably cost more
than that to order the capacitor.

Sometimes I miss Radio Shack.

Re: Well this sux.

[P. J. Alling]

The AFxxxT flashes have a thyristor quench circuit that reads the light 
returned from the subject directly with a sensor built into the flash, 
(i.e. not using the TTL sensor in the camera body), as an option.  There 
may be a model that doesn't have the sensor, or one that doesn't 
actually support TTL.  but in general the AFxxxT flashes support both.


The quench method of automatic flash exposure is pretty old tech.  The 
thyristor only kept the flash from simply dumping the energy stored in 
the main capacitor, conserving it for the next pop.  It was available on 
a large number of intermediate to advanced flashes from the 1970's 
onward and eventually filtered down to some of the lower models as well.


Pentax left the quench method in that series of flashes so that they 
would have a useful automatic mode with cameras like the MX as well as 
using the advanced OTF TTL mode of the LX.  (There were a few other 
manual focus film bodies that used OFT TTL as well I think). I think 
they also support OTF TTL flash in later AF bodies, but I've only owned 
two AF film cameras and almost never used them with flash.


The FTZ series of flashes were designed to use the in body off the film 
plane sensor, found in various the auto focus film bodies, and the 
*ist-D digital, (which because of the difference in reflectivity between 
a digital sensor, and film never worked properly).  They didn't have 
their own sensor and were totally dependent on the body's sensor.  The 
*ist D was the last camera that supported OTF TTL for that reason.  The 
*ist-D was the last camera to fully support both the analog and digital 
communication between the camera and flash as well.


Later digital bodies aren't supposed to support the analog flash control 
interface, but I've found that in P mode every Pentax DSLR I've owned 
will set the shutter speed to 180/sec and the proper f stop for the auto 
range set on the flash and ISO selected by the camera with an A lens.  
In fact it will even select the shutter speed using the reciprocal rule 
with an F or FA lens based on the selected focal length.


Even with the bells and whistles such as reading lens aperture, and 
setting the correct shutter speed and aperture for the selected ISO, the 
flashes using the OTF TTL were still pretty simple, the flash was just 
counting the photons reflected from the film or collected by the flash's 
built in sensor until the calculations showed enough light for a good 
exposure.


I'm pretty sure that the FTZ flash failsafe mode is to simply assume 
that there's an in body sensor, but since that sensor doesn't exist, 
you'll get a full strength pop in OTF TTL mode because the flash isn't 
able to count any photons.


To get useful flash automation you either need to get a much earlier 
flash than your FTZ, that uses a thyristor circuit with it's own sensor. 
or an FGZ that can use the P-TTL protocol.  There are a few third party 
flashes that also support P-TTL, but except for those made by METZ, the 
Yongnuo yn585 I'm not sure which ones are still available.

My AF330FTZ can only be used as a manual flash.

Re: Bicycle sculpture

Thanks!
We might take a look at it if we make it to that part of the town before 
the installation is removed (if it would be, as you mentioned).


We've been to that part of the city quite a few times since last summer,
but I didn't know about it.

As far as I can tell, it started last summer, even though these people
are bad at specifying the year:

Re: Bicycle sculpture

[ann sanfedele]

I can see that (um, so to speak) .. But I prefer it to the other despite 
the op art eye pain  but in the second the
background isn't split between the building and the sky...  If you could 
place yourself in a position where behind

the work it was dark throughout that might be the best yet.

Re: Mystery focusing screen

[Eric Weir]

Thanks, Peter—and John, too. I don’t think it’s the original. I had the Katzeye 
installed in a wonderful used camera shop here. If they gave me back the 
original I doubt they would have sealed the sleeve. And this one has brackets. 
Would the original have had brackets? Eric

Re: OT: WARNING Beware Firefox 58.0.1

[Igor PDML-StR]

Never start any update on a new Moon. It's a dark time, and the digital 
ghosts affect your software installation.


Cheers! ;-)

Re: K1-II spec leaked, seems like minor improvements only

[Ken Waller]

Even though there's no stretch of the imagination that would let me say I 
NEED one, I wish I could find an FA 600/4 that I could *AFFORD*.


...along with the necessary tripod, tripod head, lens case/carrier and 
sherpa to lug it about.

What range do you need to cover?

My 300/2.8 works well with the K-1.

Even though there's no stretch of the imagination that would let me say I 
NEED one, I wish I could find an FA 600/4 that I could *AFFORD*.


The limited 77/1.8 and the A 100/2.8 Macro do pretty good for portraiture.

The K1 to me is an ideal portrait/landscape camera, not so great for
events, the fact that they managed to deliver the trio of pro-spec
zooms at launch was admirable but they seem a miss match for the body.

A couple of high quality portable primes (the 15-30 is a great lens, I
have the Tamron version but it's huge and weighty) to satisfy
traditional landscape and portrait shooters should have at least
closely followed the launch of the three f2.8 zoom lenses IMO.

I needed a new solution to cover my events shooting with better speed
and low light performance (was previously using K3/K3/K5iis
combination) but I knew that the K1 buffer would limit its usefulness
to me so I finally jumped ship. I would have stuck around for another
5 plus years on top of my 30 or so if they had produced a K3/ii
replacement in a timely fashion.

Compare to the GFX. In 2017 Fuji released 6 lenses for the system. And
that's not even counting all the other lenses they have released in
the past year from X mount to cinema lenses. Pentax designed 2 whole
lenses for the K-1. The 100-450 and 70-200. And it took them over 2
years just to come up with a 50mm? huh? Yeah, not really feeling all
that optimistic about their future right now..

P J,  Please elaborate on this.  Off list if you prefer.

"I was using the AF200T with my digital cameras, and been pretty happy 
with the results.  Sure it's not P-TTL, but as far as it goes, having 
it's own sensor, the fact that it actually sets the recommended f stop 
and shutter speed when the camera is in program mode with an A class  or 
later lens, was convenient."


My AF330FTZ can only be used as a manual flash.

AAAAAARGHHH!

[Rick Womer]

Last evening we had my daughter (and chief photo critic) over for
supper, and post repast we repaired to my photo computer to finalize
my choices for The Book.

We chose three, and decided to touch up the first one a bit in LR.
Hmmm... nothing is happening.

Quit LR and re-launched. It showed the grid view but wouldn't open a
photo full-size.

Shut down the computer (a Mac Mini) and re-started it. There are two
external drives, one with my photos on it and another with a Time
Machine backup of the photo drive. The photo drive icon appeared, and
then a message that it needed repair.

Launched Disk Tools; it labored for about 5 minutes before deciding it
couldn't repair the drive. Tried a couple more times; checked all the
connections... no go.

It was late, so I turned everything off and went to bed.

Turned everything on this morning, and the photo drive still won't
open (though its icon is on the desktop), and the Time Machine drive
isn't even appearing.

Hence the AARGHHH.

At least I know the computer's User Stress Detector is working properly.

When I get home from work, I'll try connecting the drives to this here MBP.

Rick
