Yep. A must have. My Portrait lens is the smc Pentax 85/1.8. A nice piece but 
of another age.

Thanks Rick. Good to get outdoors. We’re in lockdown but work has kept me 
locked up in the office for some time anyway. It’s all the same. All okay.

I’m very interested in this.  I’d love to have something longer and faster than

I also have a hunch that it’ll be close in size/weight to my 15-30.

Unfortunately, I don’t see one landing in my camera bag in the near future.



Here's the official announcement:
http://news.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/rim_info2/2020/20200324_028718.html

Size wise, ~95mm x 123.5mm, and probably somewhere in the 1.1-1.2 kg range.

There is going to be a lot of glass in that one.

PESOs Getting Outdoors

Took the afternoon off and visited my friends in the yard. I needed that.

Re: PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...

[Stanley Halpin]

The inevitable has happened - our trip in April-May of this year is officially 
cancelled. I have been spending the morning clearing out a number of auto and 
hotel and other bookings. And soon I will turn to trying to work out something 
for next year.

I was quite saddened each time I clicked the Cancel Reservation button. We had 
put a lot of time and effort into planning this trip and had been greatly 
anticipating it. Even as the reality of the pandemic became more evident each 
passing day over the last month, we were still trying to hold out hope.

Back up your CD-R's and DVD-R's

[Igor PDML-StR]

Hi all!

Reading this prompted me to stick my (not-sneezing-yet) head in here...
https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/16/18678447/9-11-ground-zero-world-trade-center-pictures-recovered

I realized that the time flies so fast, and my earliest digital photos are 
more than 15 years old. Back in November, I went into my digital archives, 
and was able to dig out some photos from 2003. But I know that somewhere in 
the boxes I have DVDs with photo backups from 2003-2007. The same photos 
must be on external HDDs (I hope), some of which I have not turned on for 
ages...



Igor

PS. I've been social distancing from PDML since before the Covid epidemics. 
I hope that helped the curve here... :-)

(Can I claim a partial credit for not spooking away a new list member?)
Y'all, stay healthy and positive!
And, Olga, welcome to the list!

It looks like the tar has been carefully inlaid between the roots. I've 
been farming a couple of times as a result of tripping over roots like 
that on early morning runs in the half dark.

Fascinating!

Great textures and patterns.  At first, I thought it was a b/w image, until
I noticed the speck of green growth.  That really makes it extraordinary.

On the other side of the coin, we are nearly all going to get this at some 
point.  Maybe it's better to get it sooner rather than later for those who are 
likely to suffer excessively.  That, or much, much later.  Our stuff was 
planned long before the present emergency and mostly completed before the 
present regulations were enacted.  

My own view is that we should have had this legislation in place the moment 
China went into lockdown.  People would have then had time to properly apply 
the regulations by the time they needed to be effective.  Our present, 
rearguard, action is going to be totally ineffective.  I haven't seen a single 
government be able to take an off-the-shelf emergency plan and implement it, 
which is part of what I thought we paid them for.
