Re: a new camera ...

2018-10-23 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Thanks for your wonderfully upbeat response. =8^/

Epson R-D1 cameras were a bit early on the curve, and Epson decided not to put 
any more development in when Cosina was in the process of closing down the body 
production it was based on. It was the only other digital rangefinder camera 
ever made, and is still sought after by some enthusiasts despite being 12 years 
out of date with respect to sensor technology.

The Ricoh GXR with M-mount camera unit was the only other non-Leica camera made 
specifically with a sensor tailored for M-mount lenses .. you didn't adapt 
Leica lenses to it, that's what it was made for, in contrast to all the other 
EVF cameras on the market with the exception of Leica's own. The issue with it 
was that Ricoh made it and its system too complex, making it difficult to 
market, sell (due to the price), and maintain development for. It did a superb 
job with a very large range of M-mount lenses, certainly more than any of the 
other third party M-mount adaptations. Many Leica enthusiasts still have and 
use the GXR, and wish Ricoh would have developed a better EVF and higher 
resolution sensor for it. But it remains an EVF camera, and many still want an 
optical rangefinder. 

I figure if the PIXII makes it to production, whether APS-C or FF, it has a 
good shot at a reasonable niche audience if it performs well and is reliable. I 
doubt it's going to take the world by storm and become a new standard that 
everyone aspires to. But I see no reason not to be optimistic that it gets into 
production and satisfies a community of enthusiast users. 

Note that I won't be one of them. I have my CL and M-D Leicas already and don't 
need another M-mount camera. :-)

That Pentax-L 43mm Limited remains interesting to me, yes, for both my M-D and 
CL bodies. It's just a bit hard to come by and a touch pricey but I might go 
for one, eventually.

There's really only so much you can do with code, before you're no 
longer recording a scene, and are actually generating it, which is art 
not photography.  Personally I prefer my art to be produced by humans 
not by machines mainly because machine art is kinda dull.

One of these with a Pentax-L 43mm f/1.9 Limited would be pretty darn neat. :-)


So is a Leica pretty much any of them, or even a Epson RD1.

I have a prediction, it doesn't have the name Leica on it, and it 
doesn't have a red dot, based on that I predict this camera will tank in 
the market, because it will require a Leica sized price and really no 
one really likes a range finder, (well I like rangefinders, but only in 
comparison to cameras that have scale focusing), if they have another 
choice, unless it has the name Leica on it, and there are lots of 
rangefinder like cameras with EVFs to choose from these days.


I also predict this for the new Zenit M, because, the Zenit was an 
inexpensive camera that actually cost more to make than it sold for, 
because the Soviet Union really needed Hard western currency.  At 
$5000-$7000 it just isn't worth that much for a Russian branded 
novelty.  If it costs like a Leica, you might as well buy a Leica.

Could be a pretty neat camera if it pans out and gets produced. Kind of an

i didn't crop the top right hand corner because, like you said, it

If it were mine I'd crop it in a portrait mode excluding all
outside the ULH and LRH portion of the branch, those portions
excluded don't add anything to the image.

OT: Observations about Software and art of visual communication

2018-10-23 Thread Igor PDML-StR




In many OSes with graphical interfaces/environment/launchers (Windows, 
Android, MacOS, X11 in Unix and Unix-like systems), 
the icons for the program often contain the first letter from the program 
title.

E.g.:
S for Skype
Ps for Photoshop
Lr for Lightroom
W for Word
P for Powerpoint (as well as Publisher by MS)
O - for Opera
...

And then, the programs/apps are alphabetically ordered in Android 
and Windows-10 launchers ("Start" button).


Last week, I spent some amount of time looking under "X" for Microsoft 
Excel.



Cheers,

Igor

Yes, Ann. That fairly bright vertical
branch on the right needs at least 
partially removed on the right side
and the balance shaded a bit.
