I believe this was raised here recently. As of today, the only ones autofocus ones available for Pentax are Kenko's 12 and 25 mm. tubes, sold individually.
I read this morning in the May issue of Popular Photography that Kenko is bringing out new sets of tubes--the usual set of three, in 12, 20, and 36 mm. lengths. These will supposedly support Pentax AF.
They will cost--$219 U.S. I don't know if that's MSRP or street price. So far they are not on the THK web site. But watch for this if interested.

No ...
For some reason, everything I have is taken apart by me. It can take one year, it can take much longer (in case of the ist ds I hope it will take very long.) Most of the time because it's broken.
So, I hope it will take a long time before it happends, and at that time Pentax has hopefully released another generation of digital bodies, so the photo's of this one won't be so interesting anymore.

I've found that out about the permanent markers.
The lab I've been using is mail-order, and several rolls go into one bag. Their service has generally been good, and the quality of the processing is excellent. Service has been a bit off lately, I suspect because the volume of E6 processing is dropping.

I'd have thought the solution was simpler than that.
Carry around a small notepad with you, with numbers 1 thru "however many
rolls you're carrying that day" inked in thick black felt pen, and let
the first frame of each roll be shot of it's own sequential roll
number, at minimum focus distance. No need to touch the film leader itself.

Hi!
Well, the poppies are still blooming. Galia so much wanted to have a photo of ladybug (if you see the pic and I am mistaken in English, please correct me)... So I took my tripod, attached a 2x matching converter to my Tamron 90/2.5 SP and headed to the field...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/boris71/8902760/
Also, while on the field, we've been attacked by the rather known flying objects... Though I cannot identify these objects with any degree of certainty...
This time, my Tamron 90/2.5 SP was without the converter...

Alin, Useful and much appreciated information. Thanks! Pos and neg RMS factors relate to two different scales. The actual conversion factor escapes me at the moment. If I should locate it, I'll put up on list. This isn't to say that the total of all other information you furnished isn't exactly right. Just wanted to make the minor point.

Jack,
In absolute terms, the negative emulsions have finer grain than positive. Indeed, Agfa's best negative, Portrait 160 with it's granularity of RMS 3.5 is obviously better than the RMS 10 of their best positive - RSX 50. The difference maintains more or less at all other manufacturers. In real world though, the thicker layers of the positive emulsion accounts for higher densities that translate to finer gradations in all three colour channels. This comes at the expense of the reduced exposure range compared to the negative emulsion, but given a subject whose exposure range is covered by the positive emulsion latitude, the positive delivers a richer image than the negative and the continuity of tones hide its higher granulation giving the overall better appearance. In the digital era, this becomes even more obvious with the post processing level of the scanned image: the lack of tones of the negative emulsion image is immediately apparent as noise, sometimes after as little as level adjustment and curve manipulation to open the shadows. Despite its smaller grain, the noise gives the negative film the contrary appearance. In my limited experience, the only negative film that comes close to various positives (like Provia 100F, CT Precisa 100, RSX 100, etc.) in terms of rich image in tones is the Kodak RG50. Too bad it became "obsolete". [Flame disclaimer: note that I don't discuss other criteria like exposure latitude, colour linearity, etc.; it's not the end of the world if I cannot capture all the subject's details, to me a good picture should also suggest, not just depict).

Hi!
Well, I finally got a digital, though it's a Optio S5i. An *ist D, or its successor, is still in my future, but we're spending a bit of money on racing right now, so camera funds are scarce. :-) In celebration of finally getting a digital of some sort, here's my first PESO.

Hi!
Ten years ago, we had a glorious four-month sabbatical during which my wife and I worked in Oxford and lived ~30km south, in Faringdon. Two years ago we returned for a visit, which included the school my daughter attended while we were there. This was the ever-so-English scene outside the school: uniformed schoolboys playing football on a cool late-spring afternoon.

PZ-1p, FA 24-90, Elite Chrome 100, exposure unrecorded. Slide scanned, and the scan tweaked in PS Elements 2 until it matched the slide (a bit of work, that).
Comments and critiques cordially invited.
Tea anyone?
Thanks for teaching me what is "ever-so-English" :).
I'd go for a cup of strong darjeeling (spelling)...
Pity you couldn't get closer. It almost works for me, but something is still missing. It could be however, that what missing is that I never visited England, except few quick connection waits in Hithrow...

Checked this one in my bird book. I think I have him identified correctly. It's with the *istD at ISO 800, f11 @ 1000, fill from the Sigma 500DG Super flash. I could have gone to ISO 400 on this one, but most bird shots are in open shade, so I usually keep the camera at 800 when walking through the woods. This is about a 2X crop, so you'll see some digital noise. As Herb pointed out earlier today, a 400 is a bit short for shooting shy little birds in the wild. But it's still fun. At the highest interpolation level from the Adobe RAW converter I end up with about a 40meg image after crop. That still makes the minimum resolution for my stock house, but I'd like to do better. Anyway, enough talk. It's here: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3265548&size=lg

An early morning walk is a most wonderful time to take the camera along. The lighting presents very nice possibilities. In this case, hazy backlighting helped to create the effect.

Great photo. Don't crop it, though! Uncropped it has just the right balance of light and dark, of black and blue, of red and blue. Cropping it further would IMNSHO ruin the photom make it just a boring bird illustration. Why are there all the 'croppers on the list eludes me ;-))

I own three transparent Pentax bodies, the SF1, PZ10, and a 110 Pentax. It would be cool if Pentax had made a transparent *ist D- and I could get one.

That's some wirey mess ;-) (seriously - not at all, you should see the old Fujicas...)
That could be an incentive for list members to replace the plastic eyepiece lens with a glass one, just like some did with PZ1p!
Good light! fra
