If you need an explanation, watch the movie “the President’s Analyst”. OK, they said “phone company” but many ISPs are basically run by the descendants of phone companies. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com -- 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: Amazon Photo
I've discovered that some 9 years ago, when we first subscribed to Prime. I've even tried to upload some of the images. Then I've realized that it would take forever to upload them all. (I don't remember what was our uplink bandwidth at that point, - for sure no more than 5 Mbps, possibly just 1 or 2.) Even with our current 10 Mbps upstream speed (on 100/10 plan), it would take over 7 hours to backup a full 32 GB card. So, it is not completely unreasonable as a secondary backup. But a bigger problem is the data cap. With our ISP, unless you go for the 400/40 Mbps or 1GB/50 Mbps plans, you have a monthly cap (250 GB in our case). However, with the current work- and study- from home, we are barely fitting into the monthly allowance. So, we might bite the bullet and upgrade to the 400/40 plan, in which case, this might become an option to [re-]consider. While I have never looked carefully at the prices in different countries in Europe, it seems to me that the US internet is overpriced, maybe even grossly overpriced. Unfortunately, we often have a monopoly on the real broadband service in most areas (In many cases, DSL doesn't offer anything suitable).

Re: OT What's the L-mount?
Follow-on to the notion of a Pentax L-mount camera, Panasonic's latest model has been announced and is featured for pre-order at B Photo: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1581612-REG/panasonic_lumix_dc_s5_mirrorless_digital.html ~$2000 for the body only, ~$2300 for body with 20-60mm lens, in other words priced similar to the Pentax K-1 model FF DSLR camera (~$1800 body only, ~$2200 with 28-120mm lens). L-mount lenses from Panasonic, Sigma, Leica and others presently compatible … https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?pn=2=Panasonic%20lenses=fct_lens-mount_3442%3Aleica-l-mount …plus others usable via lens mount adapters. That gives you a notion of what Ricoh-Pentax would have in the field as coopetition.

PESO: Going To The Moon
A phone pic of my daughter enjoying a swing today. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1088/#peso There was a fire engine coming along the street and I was wanting to get it in the photo (which I did on the next shot).
