Almost perfect symmetry Godfrey. That last line on the RH side bothers

Re: K-3 review as seen through the eyes of the PF

[Boris Liberman]

On 11/12/2013 5:50 PM, Darren Addy wrote:

I have to say, that is a pretty comprehensive review.

As I expected the K-3 falls just a bit short in the dynamic range
department (over the K-5/ii/iis) but its advantages in other areas
would probably still make it a slam dunk upgrade overall for most. It
seems that in the AF department, owners of the K-5ii/iis will not
notice a big difference in the AF performance, and K-5iis owners
already have the AA-free option (though not the switchable option of
the K-3).


Thanks for mentioning this, Darren. This pretty much sums up my 
impressions this far.



In short, I would say that if you have anything prior to a K-5 the
upgrade to a K-3 will be amazing.


Upgrade from K-7 to K-5 was pretty amazing, I'm telling you. So if one 
goes from K-7 to K-3, the update will be at least amazinger :-).



If you have a K-5, you have a very good camera that you could be happy
with for many years, but an upgrade to a K-3 would be significant (in
everything except dynamic range).


Not trying to sound pessimistic or anything, but DR is the most 
important aspect to me. So I get to keep my K-5 for now.



If you have a K-5ii, you already have most of the AF improvements seen
in the K-3 but not its other features (PRIME III-related throughput,
FPS, HDR, switchable AA, dual slots and, of course, 24MP).
If you have a K-5ii, the same things as the K-5ii apply with the
possible exception of the AA-related stuff.


None of the above hold any interest to me personally, though of course 
they are significant technological improvements, which indeed prove that 
K-3 is head and shoulders above any other Pentax camera as far as 
technology goes.



In any event, Pentax has apparently achieved their objectives in
significantly moving the top end of the APS-C cameras, surpassing not
only themselves but also the field (if only temporarily). The fact
that Canikon CANNOT duplicate the switchable AA filter since they
don't use internal SR means that is many ways this is a lead that
Pentax could hold for a good while. If Pentax has improved the AF
system to the point that IT is no longer a compromise, then I really
think that they have shored up the only real vulnerability that they
have historically had.


It still needs to be proven that switchable AA filter is useful. I mean 
- I expect that 99.9% of the photographers using the camera will have AA 
simply off in 99.9% cases of actually taking the shot. I do agree that 
Pentax is now as good or better than competition in the same 
price/feature-set category. Therefore, it would seem to me, the ball is 
now totally in the court of marketing department at Ricoh. Engineers did 
their job brilliantly, now it is time to capitalize (pun intended) on 
that brilliance.

Re: I'm over my hang-up on manual focus

[Boris Liberman]

Eric, all photos seem to be focused properly in line with my experience 
with K-5.


I've seen a few where it would seem that the focus was way behind the 
real subject of the photograph, although under the light and aperture 
you used, the DOF kind of saved the day. It would be my consistent 
experience with K-5 (K-7 before it, K10D before K-7 and *istD before all 
of them :-) ), that camera would tend to cease every opportunity to 
focus on a contrasty object behind the one what I was trying to get in 
focus should the contrasty object fall within the boundary of the active 
focus point.


In principle, having well shimmed Katz Eye or Canon ee-S focusing 
screen, such a mistake could be seen at shoot time and circumstances 
permitting, corrected, but I kind of gave up on this. I mean - I don't 
like the notion of having serious eye-ache in the evening after the day 
of shooting similar to yours. Thus I try to take several shots of each 
motif and don't come expecting that it will always focus where I want it 
to.

Took my K-5 with my new [used] DA 50-200/4-5.6 ED WR lens to the

getting manual focus down before thinking about autofocus. The
results were mixed because autofocus is auto only so far. There are
still things to be learned, technique to be develop. E.g., I can see
that in some of the images the subject is not sharp while the
background is. I will be learning about where the camera focuses and
paying more attention to what I have it focus on.

The light was perfect. I was able to shoot at 400 and didn’t have any
noise to correct for. Most of my processing was cropping to put the
subject more clearly in the frame.

This is the gallery I put up for the team I’ve been following.
Nothing great and some not very good, but a great improvement for me
with this subject matter. Comments more than welcome.

That's lovely.  I was in a lake on Saturday but it wasn't that pretty.  Just 
out of curiosity do you know the water temperature of that lake?

This is with the DA* 300/4.0, ISO400.  Conditions not quite ideal,
patchy clouds and mist, but this was at a relatively clear point.

I tried some other shots with the 60-250/4.0 but was never able to
achieve a good focus. I had a turkey perched, roosting in a tree with
the moon over its shoulder,  but had no decent shots. Next time I'll
start with that before my hands get too cold.

Re: PESO - Columbus Circle

[Paul Stenquist]

Nice pic. Good to see. I once worked around the corner at Hearst, 224 w 57th. I 
often parked in the long gone NY coliseum at Columbus circle. Pulled apart the 
engine of my 70 Pontiac in the coliseum garage when the timing chain broke. A 
20 hour day. Ruined my clothes but fixed my car.

PESO: K-3 moon shot for Larry

[Stan Halpin]

I think it was Larry who suggested a shot of the moon with a reasonably good 
lens . . .

This is with the DA* 300/4.0, ISO400.  Conditions not quite ideal, patchy 
clouds and mist, but this was at a relatively clear point.

I tried some other shots with the 60-250/4.0 but was never able to achieve a 
good focus. I had a turkey perched, roosting in a tree with the moon over its 
shoulder,  but had no decent shots. Next time I'll start with that before my 
hands get too cold.

Probably mobo sushi Wednesday

[Larry Colen]

So far, John is the only one who has replied about dinner.

I think that Plan A will be Mobo Sushi in Santa Cruz:
http://mobosushirestaurant.com/

Zab can have her corrupter roll (unagi, garlic, basil and macadamia), 
the rest of us can split another corrupter, and have some of the other 
yummy selections.  

After dinner, if people want we can do some night urban photography
on the Pacific Ave. Mall, and maybe hit one or both of the boutique 
ice creameries:
http://www.missionhillcreamery.com/
http://thepennyicecreamery.com/

It's also very close to the Santa Cruz Wharf and other fun places
to play with cameras at night.

Blurbing again

G'day all

It's taken the best part of 5 months but I've finally finished the  
Blurb book of my trip around the western USA.  It's based on the  
travel blog I maintained during the trip.


I haven't received the printed copies yet - hopefully they'll be OK.   
It's pretty much a personal record of the trip, and not intended to be  
anything else, but if anyone would like a peek at the previews, they  
are here:


http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/html/roadtripUSA.html

I had to do it in two volumes because I wanted premium paper and there  
were too many pages for that option as a single book.

The picture was right but the title of the email becomes wrong after one week.

Re: Old Tamron Lens Questions

[Darren Addy]

John,
Taking a guess here, it sounds like you may have a Tamron Adaptall
lens with the m42 adaptall mount attached. (You could get a KM
adaptall mount to replace the m42 adaptall mount and save yourself the
need of an m42 to K adapter.

If it is an Adaptall lens, it is probably either a 22A or a 40A (model
number). Since you mention that it is macro at the LONG end, I'm
guessing it is the 22A:
http://www.adaptall-2.org/lenses/22A.html

If that is the lens, here are a couple of threads with sample images:
http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=39934&view=previous
http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=41767&view=previous

Otherwise the 40A page is here: http://www.adaptall-2.org/lenses/40A.html
That page says that it has the macro focus on the short end (35mm)

Those indicators tell you the maximum magnification.

A lot of macro zooms have you move the zoom to one end or the other of
the zoom range, then do something to the lens, twist it or something,
and then the zoom slider changes the focus rather than the focal length.


> 
> Is this a good learning tool or do I have an additional paper weight

It is possibly a good tool for learning how to use google and see
if there is any documentation on the lens.  Or any posts on the net
by someone else who has one, that you can ask.

> to add to the collection?  Can this lens be used on  the K-series

Yes.

It should be at least as sharp as it was on filem. 
You'll just notice the lack of sharpness more.

Re: Old Tamron Lens Questions

[Zos Xavius]

Maybe the difference between 1:7 and 1:4 is not that much? It should
probably give you the closest focus at the wide end in macro mode if
it allows that. Some lenses will only lock into macro at a particular
focal length.

Old Tamron Lens Questions

[John]

I have been considering the purchase of a 25-35mm to something lens. In 
the decision process I went into my drawer of previous lenses too 
precious to sell. (translation: Once in the drawer, they get lost in the 
memory )  Out came a Tamron screw mount short (35-135 f 3.5) Macro Zoom.


 I don't remember this lens and do not understand how to use it. Having 
an available adapter, it is now sitting on my istDS.  I have no 
questions on the zoom settings but don't understand the macro 
settings.   There are additional settings that change the focus slightly 
by changing some focus point at the mount and  allow the lens to be 
focused  closer to the subject at the long zoom end. There are 
indicators on the bottom of the barrel of the lens and these range from 
1:4 to 1:7.  What are these indicators on the macro side trying to tell 
me?  It appears that there is not a great change in focus distance and 
picture size as I move the lens setting from 1:4 to 1:7 and the image 
does not seem to change radically as I move the zoom in and out although 
the focus distance does decrease.


Is this a good learning tool or do I have an additional paper weight to 
add to the collection?  Can this lens be used on  the K-series and what 
is the impact on a full frame camera if one appeared?  I would guess 
that the coverage would be fine as it was designed for a film camera?


Thanks for reading this.

John from Mass.

Re: Boris PESO #52 - Etude

Boris, it looks like this image could have benefited from the use of a split

Wow, those are beautiful! Impressive detail and sharpness. 

I love the little birdies (mostly what we get around here, other than 
waterfowl) but I don't think I've been able to do that well.

Lovely light, too.

Most impressive...

Re: Nother K-3 review

[CollinB]

He's not a fan of the AF, which makes sense.
He also minimized the anti-aliasing option which is a useful feature in
environments outside his scope of experience.
Yet he was impressed with (1) layout and ergonomics, and (2) how much you
get for your money.
That clip of water pouring over it should be used in ads everywhere.

Re: Dual card slots on K-3

[Stan Halpin]

Actually Igor, I was half expecting to get a "No Card" warning. All of the 
instructions are very specific as to slot #1 or #2. JPEGs aways go on #2 under 
RAW+. Card utilization is always #1 and then #2. 

On the other hand, it makes sense that the logic is: a) try to write to card 
#1; b) if card #1is full or otherwise unavailable, write to card #2.

Anyway, as I said, a minor detail. I'll leave it to someone else to explore the 
deeper philosophical question of what happens if you try to shoot RAW+ when #2 
is the only slot containing a card.

No. When I pointed out on another forum that Nikon was just a 
Mitsubishi brand name, I was given a really long lecture about 
Mitsubishi's "Keiretsu", and how Nikon isn't "owned" by anyone other 
than Nikon. I suspect it was a Nikon fan boy, or it may have just been 
a pompous piece of shit. They are hard to tell one from the other.
The link that Darren gave was interesting up to the point where the 
guy crossed out Pentax and Hoya and at that point I wrote him off as 
another sniveling internet fuckhead with the brains of a small 
rutabaga. Pity, he may have had something smart to say and spoiled it 
by coming across like a retarded root vegetable.

Well, I can see where he's coming from. Like everyone else, my 
creativity is fueled by the intimate knowledge of corporate structures.

Sounds like I get to stick with my current game plan: Wait for whatever

Hopefully I can stick to that plan.

Subject: Dual card slots on K-3

Minor detail: what happens if you only have one card in the K-3, and use slot 
#2 rather than #1?

On the way out to dinner last night I grabbed the K-3, neglected to get the 
card from the reader where I had been downloading some afternoon playing-around 
shots. But I did have a card in the #2 card slot. When I remembered that #1 was 
empty, I chose to leave #1 empty. No hiccup, no issue whatsoever. 

Most of the time most people will probably use the camera as intended: with a 
card in both slots, #2 used either for a wireless card, for the jpg destination 
when shooting RAW+ , as a redundant backup when shooting RAW, or as a second 
card to write to when #1 fills up. But shooting with only one card is allowed, 
and the one card can be in either slot without any additional setup.

Re: K-3 review as seen through the eyes of the PF

[Bruce]

It is posts like this that push me towards a K3 when I keep trying to tell 
myself that I can be happy with my aging K5 (64,000 shutter actuation's).  
Well,  Christmas is coming,  so I'm thinking I will have to ask the EPO 
(Entertainment Prevention Officer) for a sweet new K3 to put under the tree. 

Thanks for the insights,  Bill.

I really wish I could join you guys, but a drive down that far on a
weeknight just won't work for me. :(

I hope you all have a nice evening regardless. Take lots of pictures!
