GESO: South Downs Way
Hi all - I've been a bit quiet lately owing to being in the wilds of Hampshire and Sussex. Lots to catch up on by the looks of it. Karin and I walked the South Downs Way, a 100 mile footpath from Winchester to Eastbourne on the South coast. We did it over 10 days with an extra day in Lewes, the county town of East Sussex. Here's a flavour with a picture from each day: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/SouthDownsWay1/PAD/ Cheers, Chris -- 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.

Don't forget Smugmug. About $20/month you're planning planning on setting your own prices. If all you want is a place for them to buy prints and you don't care about purchase information it's only $5/month. The annual rate is discounted but it doesn't sound like you are interested in that. If you do sign up for an annual plan you can use my email address or the address of any of the other Smugmug subscribers here and get a small discount.

Also the problem (in my eyes at least) here is that in terms of pixels there is only so much you can do with them. Few things come to mind - so if you have oh so many pixels you can: * crop them as you see fit and still get a decent picture * print really big enlargements * if you do virtual 3D, your worlds will be more zoomable in, in a manner of speaking That's about it. So the comparison with what Bill Gates said about PC RAM that someone here made looks invalid to me. PC RAM in particular and PC in general can do so much more so that adding RAM enables you to do great many various things. Various being the keyword here. As for pixels I am not so sure. Although I know that you're a car enthusiast, Bob, I still think that cars can be a valid analogy. If you live in NYC or Chicago or Tel Aviv for that matter, do you really absolutely certainly need the likes of modern sports cars? Is acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH in 5 sec going to be a decisive factor for you vs the car that does so in 10 sec. In theory it may serve you well if you need to accelerate to escape a predicament on the road (*). But in the big city such a situation is possibly improbable anyway. The smaller, more frugal or less polluting engine is an entirely different story, and even more so in the big cities... So MP count has to serve a purpose. And although in certain cases it does serve a purpose, it is unlikely to serve such a purpose for everyone uniformly. Hence I believe that there has to be enough pixels for 99% of the people out there, and 24 MP on APS-C sensor is just too many of them, little pesky pixels...

YOu beat me to it George! It's about $150 a year for a full pro account, which, even though I am beyond broke I can manage - worth the investment - I dont sell a lot but I've certainly covered costs. Havent kept up with the fees others are paying - bay photo prints are super. they can order direct from your site and you can set the markups.

Re: Rumor of a new intro Pentax Body
one of my brothers was rather scathing about my Leica because it doesn't have as many megapixels as his phone. A lot of people don't seem to realise that there are megapixels and there are mgeapixels. Mine are all first cold-pressed extra virgin long-staple Egyptian tree-ripened, shade-grown, free-range organic megapixels, whereas he got his from a bloke in Woolwich Market. With newer cameras having so many more megapixels, rendering the older cameras obsolete, at what point do I have to start throwing away the photos I took with a 6MP camera because they are no loner any good? What about 12 or 14MP? You were supposed to start yesterday. Wait! Stop! Don't throw those photos away. Just take a shot of them with the new higher MP camera. Voila. Instant higher resolution.

Re: Today's Peace Rally
Thanks, Ann! No, never got caught up in any violence. All the pictures are from the rally at Petrillo. The wooded area turned into a staging area for marchers, readying themselves to head down to McCormick place, so it was very family orientated prior to the actual march. I was going to march, but in the end decided against it. Even if I had marched, I think I would have been just fine. It was the Black Block protesters (which I labeled Ninja protesters in the gallery) that for the most part antagonized the police, but that was their intent, and if you view the Chicago Tribune gallery, they got what they intended. Darrel went with me, and he would have marched if I wanted to, but in the end I decided to keep us both safe, so we took some pictures, had lunch and a coffee, then headed home on the EL.

Anyone else care to join me in my deja vu? I woud say that, after the 6mpix era, Pentax is using the same sensor in 2-3 bodies: 10 Mpix in K10D, K200D and K-m 12 Mpix in K-x and k-r 14 Mpix in K20D and K-7 16 Mpix in K-5 and K-30 (and k-01 but this is a different category for me). So it should be enough for this sensor... Does anyone else look at the K30 as a potential upgrade from the K7? It looks to me like a less-expensive way to transition up to the better ISO performance of the K5 without quite the financial hit. I wonder what the downside(s) would be.

Re: K20D vs K-5 vs D800: portrait image rez [was: Something to think about.]
Bipin, I don't have any exact side by side comparisons, but if you go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157603434373350/ you can see pictures taken in similar situations with different cameras. In order to fully appreciate them, you'll need to use the fluidr interface for the sets so that you can see the exif data. Up until March 2010 IMGP photos were taken with the K100, after that the K-x. After I got the K-x, to all intents and purposes, I didn't take any low light photos with the K20. Up until then, I'm having a hard time finding photos I took with it clean enough to post on flickr, though there are probably a bunch on facebook, it looks like I mostly just used the K100, or my infra red camera and flash. After March 2011, I started using the K-5 pretty much for everything, except when I need a backup or a second body.

Re: Rumor of a new intro Pentax Body
My view is not that a higher MP image makes an image better. It's that it has the potential to make it more versatile, and possibly better based on the end use of the image. My thoughts exactly, although for most amateur photogs, with a printed image being the ultimate use of all those pixels and with 13 X 19 printers the most reasonably priced large print makers, 16 to 24 MP is probably a reasonable limit - I know it is for me although I've made very good images that I've sold as prints, which were taken by the ist* D. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Tom C caka...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Rumor of a new intro Pentax Body My son is starting his photographic career with a 4MP camera. I'm sorry folks, it's nothing to do with MP, it's all to do with attitude and results. Cheers, Cotty I beg to differ with you in some respects. I'm probably parsing words and what was unstated. :) I agree that attitude and results trump all. I've captured great images with a Fuji plastic-lens disposable and a .3MP Sony Mavica on floppy disk. My own personal motto is 'Composition trumps all'. A technically perfectly exposed and rendered image is still distateful if the composition does not inspire the viewer with some degree of excitement or astethic appreciation (at least as far as my preferred genres go). If the image doesn't start with a vision of what one is hoping to achieve, it's unlikely it will match the photographer's aspirations. So I agree with that sentiment, that MP is not the most important consideration. However, I'm sure you wouldn't argue that, with rare exception, professionals in the field strive for the best image, and and usually with the best possible tools at their disposal. My images captured on a disposable camera, or on a 'lower' resolution sensor only go so far. I can tell you I wish my 6MP *ist D images had been taken with a 14MP K20D or K7, or higher. It often depends on what the end use of the image is and the media on which it's displayed, n'est pas? Web, small print, vs, portrait, vs., wall hanging. Taking that into consideration, generally, the higher MP the better. That's why larger film sizes were generally considered better than smaller formats. Practicality, price, ease of shooting, transportation, etc., tended to make 35mm the 'every man's' compromise. Still, many aspired to move to a larger format. Unfortunately for me, that happened within months of the first Pentax DSLR. My view is not that a higher MP image makes an image better. It's that it has the potential to make it more versatile, and possibly better based on the end use of the image. Tom C.

Why? - They get to reuse the 16MP Sony sensor which they've squeezed great IQ out of for the K-5. It might also be a cheaper sensor now because it's old technology. - An entry-level body for $700-800 is a good price given the current climate. - Weather Sealing!

What I don't know is how many K30's they'll sell at $800 if the K-5 is $999, so they either raise the price of the K-5 back up to $1,200 again or lover the K30 price to $700.

Besides a nice dent in the top of his Pentax 6x7 prism (otherwise none the worse for wear) the Sigma 10-20mm was the only casualty of the accident. Fortunately, being cautious by nature, he *had* purchased the damage waiver. -- 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: Minimum Kit?
If this is a bucket list quest and virtually the entire point is that is to be a photographic journey, then I certainly wouldn't skimp on the lenses I'm taking. Instead I would be tempted to take very few clothes and make my first stop a thrift shop when I hit my destination where I would purchase clothes for the stay. Next stop a laundromat. Finally, I'd donate them back to the thrift store before I hit the airport for the return trip and wear the clothes on my back. -- 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: New Pentax DA 50mm f/1.8
On 21 May 2012 11:15, Matthew Hunt m...@pobox.com wrote: Whatever. Pentax, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony (at least) have all described their products as interchangeable lens cameras. Wikipedia says ILC may refer to: Interchangeable Lens Camera, a class of camera that comprise Single-lens reflex camera, Digital single-lens reflex camera, Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera and some Rangefinder camera. If you want to conclude, from your own certainty in what the abbreviation *should* stand for, that the new lens won't work on DSLRs, be my guest, but that seems like a hell of a leap. Matthew, I didn't conclude anything, I simply pondered when I wrote so I wonder if this means it won't work on their DSLR's... Please find an instance where Pentax has referred to any of its DSLRs as ILCs. DPReview uses ILC to refer to mirrorless cameras that have interchangeable lenses (with maybe the exception of Leicas): http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Guides/lens_buying_guide_01.htm Scroll down to Lens Mounts. Popular Photography does the same; for example: http://www.popphoto.com/gear/2011/08/new-gear-sony-nex-7-stuffs-dslr-guts-interchangeable-lens-compact-body Wikipedia says: The Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) is a popular class of digital system cameras. Unlike a compact digital camera, a MILC is equipped with an interchangeable lens mount and unlike a digital single-lens reflex camera, a MILC does not have a mirror-based optical viewfinder. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrorless_interchangeable-lens_camera) So although the C might stand for something different, ILC still refers to a mirrorless camera (at least that's what most people understand). Interestingly, AcronymGeek says ILC stands for Interchangeable Lens Compact.: http://www.acronymgeek.com/ILC/Interchangeable_Lens_Compact From all this I would say that it's not just me who thinks that ILC is a compact camera, and that DSLRs are not ILCs; so Matthew, given the above, does it not seem reasonable to think that this lens might NOT work on Pentax DSLRs? So now, instead of attacking the man, can we address the issue of what type of camera this new lens will work on?

You're arguing against yourself here. If ILCs are always mirrorless, there wouldn't be a need for the term mirrorless ILC. Pentax is, AFAIK, the only manufacturer with lenses that are interchangeable between DSLRs and mirrorless bodies. So saying that none of the other ILC systems include DSLRs doesn't prove much. Interestingly, AcronymGeek says ILC stands for Interchangeable Lens Compact.: I didn't dispute that some people use ILC to mean Interchangeable Lens Compact. I was arguing against your claim that it doesn't mean Interchangeable Lens Camera. Abbreviations can have multiple meanings when used by different parties. You said Pentax was wrong to use it to mean Interchangeable Lens Camera. I disagree, and found Interchangeable Lens Camera to be widely used by a variety of manufacturers. So now, instead of attacking the man, can we address the issue of what type of camera this new lens will work on? Sure. Exactly what it says in the press release: PENTAX RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION today announces the introduction of its new smc PENTAX-DA 50mm f/1.8 medium-telephoto autofocus lens, which is designed exclusively for use with the company’s K-mount interchangeable-lens digital cameras. Pentax DSLRs are K-mount interchangeable-lens digital cameras. So is the K-01. -- 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.
