They stopped making new ones though. They brought over the 18-35 but not the 50-100. So as they slowly phase out lenses they will eventually make no pentax lenses at all. I like the bigma at least. On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 4:16 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: > Sigma does make

The CD is going to be slower than any drive you connect it to. Don't worry about rpms. Most externals are 5400 anyways. You'll spend a premium to get a 7200rpm drive that is external and it won't really gain you much in transfer speed though your random seek times will improve. Something that

Re: Tonight I got a little Messier

Most lenses go beyond infinity for two reasons: they focus shift and need the extra room to reach infinity or they are designed to deal with temperature fluctuations. A cold lens shrinks. On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 4:50 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > > Igor PDML-StR wrote: >> >> >>

Re: K-1 quirks

I checked on the K-5 IIs I have here and AF-C works with the AF IR beam on the flash and the flash fires. I would imagine the K-3 is the same because I usually leave it in AF-C. Mine is at a friend's house right now though so I cannot check. Have you tried a pentax flash with it? It might be that

Re: K-1 quirks

If you have the rear screen turned off on the K-3 it doesn't flash the mode as well. Best I can say is to memorize the number of clicks to your next preferred mode. You can usually tell what mode it is in by what settings are changeable in the viewfinder too. Like on the K-5 IIs AV and M are only

They are west coast but, North Coast Photo Services (NCPS). The same place Ken Rockwell recommends. Their work is professional and top notch. Their pricing is fairly reasonable too. On Mon, Nov 28, 2016 at 6:30 PM, Collin Brendemuehl wrote: >>Let me know if you find one.

Re: digitizing 8mm film with K1?

$2 a minute seems pretty reasonable really. I love the 8mm to 5d capture idea though. That makes me want to go make one and offer capture services myself lol. On Sun, Nov 27, 2016 at 9:15 AM, Jos de Fotograaf wrote: > Thanks Steve, that are some very interesting links,

Re: Scene Analyze mode

It is an improved green mode. Green mode only supports jpeg last I checked. The deep learning is just marketing. They used some deep learning to come up with some better guesses on what settings to use. Big whoop. I would say you are far better off without this. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Re: K-1 and Photoshop CS6

I would think Oracle has an installer for Java for MacOS. If Apple bundles Java then it is probably their own flavor. Personally I would rather use official java. Microsoft used to have its own java stack and it was terrible. On Wed, Nov 23, 2016 at 4:20 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi

Re: K-1 buffer question answered, maybe

Even with a fast card its buffer is pretty limited. Its about as deep as the buffer on the k-7, so like 13 raws or so. The K-3 has something like a 28 shot buffer in comparison. Its pretty likely they used the same amount of memory in both cameras. On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 11:19 PM, Stanley Halpin

Yes you can just convert pef to dng with the dng converter. Or you can shoot DNG and just open the raw. Do note that the K-1 has a bunch of advanced features that the older camera raw does not support like multiple area white balance. In the latest lightroom, it works with the K-3 or at least it
