Re: PESO: A very ugly fly
Thanks, Some answers: No magic applied here. Flies are best shot in the evening when they cool down. This one was really hibernating for the night. Lens F100/2.8 macro with the AF160FC. This ringflash is superb for macros like this. I've set one side to 100% and the other to 50% which puts some contrast in the subject. The assist light is also very handy for bug hunting at dusk. The real challenge is the background, if the background is too far away everything is pitch black. In this case a yellow flower is the background. Very difficult to focus on the subject and also keep an eye on the moving background. Nice to read you noticed the background!

Re: Another camera problem
So there is a menu item that says the LCD displays the number of shots available in continuous shooting mode when shutter button is half pressed. (Strictly, it swaps between number of shots left on card and number available in continuous) But when I change from RAW 6mp to 1.5mp, jpg one star, the number shown on the half-press remains at three.

I haven't followed this thread, but here's a guess: after you've switched it to 1.5 mp, take a picture and see if the count goes up.

Re: WTB and a macro flash question
Boris, Try finding some device that allows you to align the flash head with the front element of your macro lens, and a sync cable to fit your flash. There are both tailor made solutions like the flash brackets from ReallyRightStuff and DIY projects to a couple of dollars. I bought a hotshoe grip off ebay for a couple of dollars that did the trick after some modification. I've used it with the AF-500FTZ, and the AF-540FGZ. Drop me a (off-) line if you want to know about the mods. Jostein 2009/4/18 Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com: Hi!

Toughts... Pentax and Professional Photography
One of the main problems is I've Pentax. Not kidding. An agency will never talk with someone who has Pentax. The minimum is Full Frame, which Pentax not planning to release. With a Nikon D700 or Canon EOS 5D (MK1) I could start with luck :) Also my equipment really lacks many things to become a professional. All the shots with Dovile was made with the FA 50 f1.4 and I had some bad experience with the focusing speed and accuracy of the K20D. It also made me think about Pentax and Professional Photography. Pentax is the very best amateur level camera and so far I know they always were in the 35mm market. The Pentax K20D is a fantastic camera, but it has some serious downs. The AF is really a pain in the rear sometimes, not to mention the focus feedback with MF lenses. For Nature it's very good since you have time, but for sport and fashion it's kinda weak. I did 'journalist' photographies with a 40 years old Carl Zeiss lens (f4/300) and it was way better than the other guy with a Canon EOS 40D + 70-200 f4 L (said the editor :P), but I often feel the need of something quicker. I did live performance photography yesterday (a dutch band called Kraak Smaak played at Trafalgar Square) and many of my shots seems to be just a little OOF. The main problem is (I believe) that in this 'running' world you need to keep the tempo or you will fail (Minolta is one of the best examples). Also Samsung seem to be getting independent from Pentax as the EVIL system was developed alone and they don't want to share it with Pentax. Without Samsung I wonder how well Pentax will suceed, but I am afraid it might have difficulties. So all in all I wonder what Pentax will do... but they need something BIG :) .t Ps I can't do professional photography work because I lack the two E-factor: Experience and Equipment :D Christine Aguila wrote: Wow!

Re: Toughts... Pentax and Professional Photography
Timber, I am thinking of a number of points here. In no particular order. 1. You're very talented indeed. I couldn't compare with other photographers, notably local ones, but few guys in my local camera club have K10Ds and assortment of lenses, usually Tamron 28-75/2.8 and some more. At least one of them has exactly that and he keeps getting prices, medals and the honors in these international competitions to where he keeps sending his photos. He usually shoots on the streets, meaning that somehow he is fast enough. 2. If you have problems with focusing then I suggest two things: a. Get a Katz Eye screen. It works wonders and it will also allow you to see in real time if your AF is where you want it to be. b. Given your eye sight (mine being very weak) you might want to buy the viewfinder magnifier. I've got one recently and although it does not have revolutionary effect, it is still very nice and it makes my eyes strain less. 3. But of course if you say that these guys up there don't like that you shoot with Pentax, then you might have to at least buy some into another system, whatever it would have to be. 4. I tried few times to do casual shooting on the street with FA 43/1.9 and it seemed snappy enough for my needs. Also I remember that FA 50/1.7 wasn't a slouch either. I don't doubt your shooting technique, but may be some special trial-and-error or self-training sessions may be of help.

William Robb Everyone can have a few lucky shots (as you can see even me! :P) Don't get me wrong, I love Pentax and as every pentaxian I am a latent-Nikon-fan too and the D700 is really really tempting (like the dark side :D) I don't want to change. I am happy with my Pentax K20D and the good old Jupiter-9 f2/85 :) Just it's not a setup that an agency would like to see :) So technology does matters a lot... Also if you want to do product-pictures the 14 megapixel is not enough. For example you make a photo of a product it has to be at least 20 MPix to be good enough for city-advertisements.

RE: Who wants to see a clue as to next Pentax DSLRs ?
Those popup flashes are too useful for anybody doing wireless TTL flash (which is a lot of people these days). I do kinda wish they'd replace them with IR transmitters though, the popups aren't all that useful as flashes, just as wireless controllers and AF assists. I think they should replace them with a pop-up whistling canary to make children laugh.

Re: Toughts... Pentax and Professional Photography
At this point it would take something like a job requirement to get me to switch. A few weeks ago I was contemplating full frame. I stopped into our local camera store when they were having a slow afternoon and started pricing what it would cost to switch to a reasonable kit based around the Nikon D700. So, I totaled up a the d700, a couple of sb900 speedlights, a couple of fast zooms with vibration reduction, a few CF cards and some misc. minor supporting pieces. When the total climbed past $12,000 I stopped, took my price list home, and applied a bit of rationalization. I questioned if my equipment had ever stopped me from doing anything. I then asked if it was likely to stop me from doing anything I could think of doing in the next few years. The answer, for me, was no. So, I decided to put this decision off until the day when I could no longer accomplish my goals with the Pentax system, or the company itself went down the drain. If that day comes, I can make a decision based on real requirements, as opposed to my imaginary what if I want to If I was looking at a paying job that required that kind of a cash outlay, the figure would look small. That day comes at different times for different people. I can see that it would be a tough decision for anyone. The next day I went back to the camera store and bought the the pentax 100mm macro lens, saving over $11.000.

Better photo. Camera on far left... http://cid-9c2325683f4c3b9c.skydrive.live.com/... .../IMG|_0153|_ps|_up.jpg Try again: http://cid-9c2325683f4c3b9c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/%E6%91%84%E5%BD%B1%E5%99%A8%E6%9D%90/PENTAX%20Rumors/IMG|_0153|_ps|_up.jpg Interesting. In this photo it looks like there's no visible green button, and there is a pop-up flash (you can see a seam this time). The flash's arms appear to be *much* longer than previous Pentax pop-up flashes, which is probably a good thing as far as red-eye is concerned. Looks like they've made it more like Canon's pop-up flash (can we just shorten that to PUF?) design. Here's an upscaled version of that photo: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/pentax-news-rumors/32877d1240156486-pic-k30d-mystery-pentax-upscaled-567.jpg The lack of a green button suggests to me that it's a mid-range model, perhaps a replacement for the K200. It's approximately closer in size to that model, too.

Playing in the front yard
I finally got my K20 back, but it seems that most of the pictures I took yesterday were with my K100. I kept seeing things in my front yard, and since the macro lens was already on the K100, that's the one I grabbed. I saw some miner's lettuce (unless I misidentified the plant) with the white flower in the sun, and the petals from the camelia tree in the background. The sun had moved by the time I got this shot, but I still like it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3455472530/in/set-72157616945411789/ I also ended up shooting the petals on the ground. I can't choose between this and another one with a different focus point, so flipping a virtual coin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3454658031/sizes/o/in/set-72157616945411789/ Shallow DoF: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3454688271/sizes/o/in/set-72157616945411789/ A bit more: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3454688575/sizes/o/in/set-72157616945411789/ The reason that the macro was on the K100 is that after sorting through a lot of my shots, Zab had told me that she wanted me to take a particular poppy shot.

Re: Toughts... Pentax and Professional Photography
Timbah, I missed your PESO, but I understand you have come up against the same misconceptions as I have met, when trying to join up with online stock agencies. Unfortunately, there are some agencies who categorically dismiss Pentax on some lame excuse. Too much noise is a classic. Just ignore them. On pure mischief you can submit the same pics again and see what happens. I recently read about a Nikon guy who had 43 out of 50 dismissed for the said reason, resumbmitted them and had 30 accepted. :-) Personally, I'd say that anyone who dismiss Pentax on the sole reason that it's Pentax is probably not going to be good agents for your images anyway. OTOH, one investment that's probably very wise is a good noise-reduction thingamabob for your computer and learn how to use it optimally. It'll probably shut up all of them straight. :-) Jostein 2009/4/19 Timbah! tim...@clancode.hu: Yeah, it's possible, but I might need really good connections for that :) But yet...

Re: Another camera problem

It appears that modern technology has finally managed to baffle this witless old fart. Unless someone here knows better. Maybe the limit is how many shots can be buffered in the stage before conversion to JPEG, not how many can be buffered between JPEG conversion and eventual write to the memory card. The K10D shows 24 when set to best-quality JPEGs, but in fact it is capable of shooting JPEGs until the memory card fills up if you have a fast enough card. On that camera, though, the number does change (from 24 to 6) when changing from JPEG to JPEG+RAW(DNG). -- 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.

Flies are best shot in the evening when they cool down. This one was really hibernating for the night. Lens F100/2.8 macro with the AF160FC. This ringflash is superb for macros like this. I've set one side to 100% and the other to 50% which puts some contrast in the subject. The assist light is also very handy for bug hunting at dusk. The real challenge is the background, if the background is too far away everything is pitch black. In this case a yellow flower is the background.
