I am leaving Pentax because it limits me...
Before you flame on me, no I am not. I will stay with my loved white Kr, and maybe a K5 update later... But how many times I heard this from friends... countless. Most of the time the reason is: Pentax is not good for studio photography. I was not aware of Benjikan (or Benjamin Kanarek) until recently a friend of mine directed me to his page. (FYI: http://www.benjaminkanarek.com/ ) So I now always ask my friends when they say Pentax is not good enough for studio: You think his photographs are not good enough? You already reached his level and you feel it's not enough for you? Obviously... the answer is no :D But to be honest I had some hesitations sometimes as well... I love Sony's new system, for not having a blacked VF during the photos and most importantly, videos. But is it really that important? Well... no. But which other company offers you the possibility to try the astrophotography for a low price of £200ish? Or has a grip so comfortable that you don't really want to use a battery grip to make the use of the camera comfortable? But on the other end there are limits for sure. Not having most of the 3rd party companies support for P-TTL (YangNuo, Phottix...) is one of the main concerns, but apart from that... I am still in love with Pentax :) So, yes... Sony A55 and Nikon D5100 are really tempting for me giving a bit more options, but I believe my little Pentax Kr is a very good partner for my photography needs. Why did I write this? Well... I just had to tell you this and we read so many rants then why not a praise? :) Regards, .t -- 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.

Lesson learned...
Hi, Recently I've ordered a 55mm reverse adapter which arrived today. I wanted to give it a try so took the Zelektor, put the adapter on it's front and then put it on the Kr... Well... I mean I tried to put it on the Kr but the adapter didn't really want to turn to it's place. So decided to not force it to get in place and tried to take it off. But it got stuck so I had to use a pliers to remove it... After couple seconds and thousands of new gray hairs it got off and luckily the mount had no problems. But the lesson learned: always try the usability of an item (especially if it's a, made in China; b, costs less than a tenner; c, both) on my 2x teleconverter first... .t -- 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: Testing K-r with Infrared.
What kind of modification will you do? Full spectrum or dedicated to IR? And how's the modded K10D serving you? Did you find any difficulties or disadvantages? Internal filters are reducing hotspot if I am correct, but what happens if you have a 1000nm filter on the lens and the 720nm internal filter? Does it still eliminates the hotspot? Sorry for having loads of questions but IR photography is something really interests me :) Unfortunately I only have one K-r and I want to keep the possibility to make normal pictures as well so with that I will go for clear glass filter. But I also have a K10D so that might be a dedicated IR machine as it has no Live View so composition would be only possible with hotshoe mounted Russian Turret Finder for RF cameras :) Cheers, .t On Fri, 2011-05-06 at 23:43 +0300, Krisjanis Linkevics wrote: Anyone tried IR photography with the K-5 / K-7 / K-x?

Testing K-r with Infrared.
Hi, I just made a little test the other day, an unmodified (yet) Pentax K-r and the infrared photography. What I've found is the K-r has very strong IR filter (about 20EV) so both high iso handheld and composing the picture with Live View is impossible. Also using 'False color' IR filters, such as the Hoya R72 is out of question as the amount of visible red light will be too much. So the only option to try IR photography with the K-r was the B+W 093 (830nm) filter, which normally let's only the IR light go trough with a very very small amount of visible red. Well with the K-r that very very small amount becomes quite more so the 093 on the K-r acts as the R72 on a modded camera. I can't wait to get my hands on a 1000nm filter :) Usually with bright sunlight 30 seconds, f4 at ISO 400 did the trick and the worst case scenario is cloudy sky where ISO 1600 is needed. Normally ISO 1600 is not noisy but together with long exposure, the noise (which in case of Pentax it's more like a fine grain) is becoming visible. A few pictures can be found on my flickr stream ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/5693966320/ ) if you want to see the results. Anyone tried IR photography with the K-5 / K-7 / K-x?

GESO: My new toy: Zie Zelektor!
Hi List, Since a while now I had a Tamron Adaptall SP f2.5 24mm (01BB) that I didn't really use. Lately the only thing I did with this lens is freelensing, but after 10-15 freelensing photos my sensor just got too dirty :D So I've decided to modify the lens into a permanent freelensing solution, something like the Lensbaby is. Took the lens and totally shaved off everything from it except what's the base of the lens (literally the metal parts around the glass parts) so I will have a bit more room to play with without any collision. Also took the Tamron Adaptall PK mount and removed all the parts except the mount itself. The two is linked together with some high precision super bending mechanics made out of extra high level special elastic material (*coughs* a piece of a bike inner tube) and voila, here's my own better-than-lensbaby super new lens system: Zie Zelektor 24mm! :) As we had a street party at Tottenham I took the lens for a walk and I just loved playing around with it. Mastering the use of it still needs LOADS of practice but I am already loving the results I've got. So here's the flickr set dedicated my new toy (including a picture of the Zelektor mounted on my Pentax K-r): http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/sets/72157626609950862/with/5670879686/ Comments and critiques are always welcomed!

Panorama How To (with kittens :D)
Hi List, As some of you asked how to do Panoramas here's my little tutorial to start with: First of all you need: - A tripod with a head that can turn 360 degrees (full circle) around it's Horizontal axis. I don't really recommend the use of ballheads as they tend to move freely in other directions as well... My setup is: Giottos MT 9361 + MH 5001 - A wide angle lens. The KitLens is perfectly fine to start with (kittens are not) but later on you might want to get a Ultra Wide Angle lens, like the Sigma 10-20, Pentax DA 10-17 fisheye or the Samyang 8mm Fisheye. The wider the lens the less picture you need to take - makes life easier. Just an example: @18mm you need 12 pictures in each row (every 30 degrees), at least 3 rows + nadir and zenit. That equals 38 pictures. @8mm Fisheye you only need 1 row of 4 pictures and a Zenit and Nadir. That's 6 pictures. Zenit and Nadir is the all the way down and all the way up pictures. My setup is: Pentax DA L 18-55 kitlens for the Pentax K-r - A panoramic head attachment that allows you to rotate the camera with the rotation's center being exactly at the center of the front lens (called No Parallax Point). There are various options for this, most commonly the Nodal Ninja is used. If you just want to try Panorama photography, if it's your cup of tea or not, then I would advice to make your own version from a couple pounds. It won't be as precise as the Nodal Ninja and you might not be able to do interiors with it easily, but it wouldn't cost you 200+ GBP or $300+ ... I would say for very occasional Panorama works or for the learning process a DIY pano-head will do. I made mine based on Peter Loud's Nodal Samurai ( http://www.peterloud.co.uk/nodalsamurai/nodalsamurai.html ). My setup: DIY Pano-head :) So once you have all the setup together then find a good spot for the picture. To begin with panoramas I'd recommend large, open places first as the less space you have the more obvious the non-precision of the head will be. For example with my head and the kitlens doing interiors requires at least 2 more rows for the perfect results. What you need to create the panorama is enough pictures to have enough overlapping where the stiching software can blend the pictures. The more the overlapping the better the results will be. Sometimes the software does the job fully but sometimes you need to help it with giving control points manually. If you've done enough pictures with loads of overlapping the it won't be a problem. So I say spend a bit more time with the taking the pictures than spending hours to add control points or worst case scenario, abandon your project because the lack of overlaps. Fail to plan and you plan to fail. The software I use is PTGui for Windows. I found a similar program for Ubuntu, called Hugin, but it's just not that good as PTGui. Unfortunately PTGui is not free (unless you do warez... :P), but it has a demo version you can try which adds Watermarks... Using the PTGui is pretty simple. Load the pictures, let the software align them and create the panorama! :D Then when you render your panorama there are various options to make the panorama, the most common is to create a spheric panorama that you can use to create a Quicktime VR-Cube where you can look around, or the one I posted earlier is called Little Planet If you have questions feel free to ask :) but as I am a beginner on this field (made only 4-5 panos so far) I might not be able to go into deep technical details :) Happy Panoraming! :D .timber ps.: oh and the kittens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-adI7I_bYVc -- 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.
PESO: My own little World.
Hi list! Ok... Before I post the link a little intro :D So I wanted to do panoramas (360 ones) but I lack the fisheye lens and the Nodal Ninja to do so. Well for the lens it's not that big deal as the kitlens is almost wide enough :D you just have to make LOADS of pictures and pray for not missing a spot :D But the Nodal Ninja (or any other pano-head) is quite crucial as without that you can't really make 360 panos. As being a DIY guy I knew I can make one and luckily found a very good website on the web for DIY Pano Head, the guy calls it Nodal Samurai (just google it). Inspired by that I've created mine as well and yesterday I made my first test with it. Well... it's not the most precise one, it's not the most good looking one... but it does the job! :D So now next stop is to get a Samyang 8mm fisheye (which I always wanted... and this one seems just a bit better quality than the Peleng and it's still quite cheap). Ok, so long story short. Here's my own little world, made with kitlens and a really cheap solution for panoramic head :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/5650664057/ Comments are welcomed.

Nice shot Paul. The DA 12-24 is one of my favourite lens. It's sharp from corner to corner at f4. This lens always has space in my photo-bag :) This lens is also good for 'portrait' shots even at 12mm (if used correctly). I've posted a portrait of my pentaxian friend earlier (her nickname is SilentOkami :P) and here's an other sample of her shot with DA 12-24 @ 12mm: http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/3015094347/ and one at 24mm: http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/3015927916/ but what I really like about this lens is the spot light rendering on night shots. Here's an example: http://www.pbase.com/timbercode/image/96785385 So if anyone is considering this lens or not... do not hesitate. :) Cheers, .t Here's a shot of a drag car passenger cabin. It's the Dodge Challenger factory SS car that I shot last month. It's at ISO400, f4.5, 1/750th and 12mm. The focus is on the steering wheel. I needed f4.5 to be able to light the black interior with the 540 and lightsphere diffuser. I needed 1/750th to keep the background from burning out. There's some Moire (sp?) patterning on the window net and the seat belt fabric, but I think that's a function of the lighting rather than the lens. This is the full frame. At 100% the seams on the steering wheel wrap are sharp. The lens has returned a lot of good results for me. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8335606size=lg -- 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. -- 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.

Tilt adapter for Pentacon Six lenses... has arrived! :D
Hi list! It's me again with my newest little toy :D a Pentacon Six Tilt-rotator adapter. It was like 120 bucks but I am really happy to have it. I have some PSix lenses (CZJ 50/f4, 80/f2.8, 180/f2.8, 300/f4) and so far I only did a 'field-test' with the 80mm Biometar. Here are some shots made during my first photowalking day with the Tilted Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f2.8 lens on the Pentax K20D. All shots are only resized and framed. No photoshopping on any of the pictures. http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/2953222008/ (here in Hungary the Indian Summer is called Old Ladies' Summer, which is the title :D) http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/2952370619/ This one really has the plotting board feeling. http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/2953219208 I like the DOF on this picture. Only the 2 buildings I wanted are in focus, the rest is OOF. Check the frontal OOF lights having so interesting shape (instead of circle like as the back OOF ones). The Tilt adapter was rotated like 60 degrees CCW. http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/2953218698/ This one was made handheld with shutter speed as low as 1/4. No blur at 80mm. So my big kudos goes to the Pentax Engineer team for this awesome image stabilizing system! More on my flickr photostream :D Comments and critiques are welcome (here or under the flickr page :D) Cheers, .timber (the gadget freak pentaxian :D) Ps.: Since I have macro extension tube for Pentacon Six system the next thing I will try is doing macro with tilt lenses... while in normal photography the tilt system is used to reduce DOF in macro it can be used to increse DOF.

Re: Infrared K20D (anyone)?
Is it possible to use Pentax K20D for IR photography without replacement of the sensor filter glass. Thank you for your info. Possible, with extreme long shutter speeds even at f2.8. It has like -20 EV reduction. And the Live View is useless with IR sensors on. I think if you want to go IR with Pentax you need K200D or modding your camera (which I am planning with K10D) .timber -- 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.

I've seen lots of Nikons and Canon dslrs on eBay that have been modified for just IR only. Rarely see Pentax dslrs. Jim A.

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Why do K200D or K20D need a replacement? What Pentax _may_ need is something lower than K200D or higher than K20D. K200D Minus could be something like the Micro Four Thirds from Olympus. Ergo a K bayonetted, interchangeable compact camera :P Like a Micro K.

Re: Coming camera(s) : for thow who know, would you buy it?
Well the K200D could indeed receive an upgrade for a very good reason: the base camera is damn good (just a K10D with a couple features missing) but the buffer/fps really is a joke, espcieally the ridicullous buffer. Other than that the K200D is a very fine camera. But wouldn't users would be pissed off if half year after they bought a camera there is already a replacement? I am surely would be angry to Pentax if they announce a K20D Super already with 'fixed' flaws of the K20D (for example the crap Live View) .timber -- 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: Rumours, rumours...
Not much after PMA there was a 'rumour' that german Pentax fan forum users met the german Pentax guys to test the K20D and they said there will be two new Pentax cams at Photokina, one with 3 digits and one with 1 digits. So K2D (since K1D existed as a prototype) is very probable and I hope the 3 digit one is the 645D (remember PMA? There was a hint about 645D). I believe the K2D will use the new Full Frame Samsung CMOS and hopefully not targeted to be a competitor to the Pro (Canon EOS 1D MarkIV/Nikon D3) level but the EOS 5D/D700. K1000D low budget cam? I don't really think that would be necessary. The K200D is very well placed in the budget category (it's cheap enough but with only a few compromises need to made). A few bucks cheaper cam would make no sense at all to me (like Canon EOS 1000D...) since so far Pentax seemed to me to target quality over marketing features. An entry-level MF camera would be a big hit and nowadays the technology is ready for a cheaper production. If Pentax could manage to sell it around a bit higher than the EOS 1Ds MarkIV (approx 10K$) then it could easily take place next to the Pro Level DSLRs of Canon and Nikon. Lens are already available for the 645 system... So let's hope :D Also at http://www.pentaximaging.com/purchase/find_a_store you can still see the product category: digital medium format. Cheers, .t Please don't tell me you don't care, subject is clear so if you don't want to know or discuss anything, don't read ! * BEGIN RUMOUR NEWS * In the current state of things (if that can be said for rumours), Pentax is beleived to introduce at least one new camera around Photokina, possibly two. There're a no details about this/these camera(s) but it should be fairly easy to speculate if anyone wants to. * if one camera - budget camera (e.g. K1000D) or high end (K1D/K5D)... * if two camera, seems clear it would be those two except if Pentax feels they need to upgrade K200D or K20D but it seems doubtful to me. * END RUMOUR NEWS * One usualy good source has confirmed that at least one camera was coming, without giving any detail (NDA as usual). At least two Pentax distributors have indeed confirmed to a couple users that the 60-250 wouldn't be there before Photokina :( :( That's it (much isn't it?) you can get back to your usual stuff. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

Re: smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 last shots with K100D Super
What surprises me is the line: price of the lense (most expensive standard prime in its class, besides Zeiss of course) Are we talking about the Pentax SMC FA 50mm f1.4? That's the cheapest in it's class (Nikon's being close). FYI the prices (in GBP... source: Ebay.co.uk): Canon 50mm f1.4 - ~165 pounds Nikon 50mm f1.4 - ~135 pounds Pentax 50mm f1.4 - ~130 pounds Canon 50mm f1.8 - ~60 pounds Nikon 50mm f1.8 - ~50 pounds The only thing Pentax is 'missing' is an 50mm f1.8 lens... but the price of the f1.4/50mm is fairly low IMHO. And I had the Canon f1.8 50mm in my hands... cheap and plastic. I really disliked that lens. A friend of mine sold his because it was extremely soft at f1.8, yet I heard no real complains about the FA f1.4/50mm. The two reason I am not considering to buy this lens is: my Porst 55mm/f1.2 MF lens and my dream to get my hands on an FA 77mm f1.8 :D The FA77's Bokeh... is a dreeeaaam :D .t http://roman.blakout.net/?blog=20080516134346 ^^^ I'd lusted after this lense for over a year but something else always came in. Now, knowing K20D CMOS sensor reads diagonal light of FA lenses I'd decided to buy this 1.4 fast prime and here goes few samples, probably just emphasizing on its beautiful bokeh. FA 50mm is kinda soft full open, with few pixel wide soft cast but it's gone by f/2.0 and lense is sharpest at f/5.6 - 8.0. Light is very well controlled and level of aberrations is insignificant. Now I found my new favorite lense. Shame it took ages to finally find it. Perhaps expectancy of FF pentax body in December 2008 / January 2009 had contributed a bit to my decision to purchase full frame lense here. Your comments are welcome, as always.

Re: CanOFF EOS 450D Iso Test

Weather Sealing (was Re: Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24)

Line up was: 5 Canon EOS 350D/400D, 1 Nikon D50, 1 Pentax K10D. 2 of the 5 Canons ended up 'acting strangely', 2 guys had a home made camera-umbrella for their Canons which was mounting in the flash shoe :D, the Nikon guy prefered to keep his cam in bag, I was shooting with old manual lenses on... and no problems at all :D I really love Pentax' weather sealing. Even with lens from 70's it keeps my camera safe in almost all kind of weather.

Re: Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24

Use russian lenses :D I keep my K20D with Helios M44-6 off from rain for only one reason: the My little pony sticker on the K20D could get too wet and might get off the cam (again)! :P But other than that... the K20D+Old MF lenses survived heavy raining many times.

Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24
Hi list! I am planning to buy a WIDE angle lens. I am hesitating between the Sigma 10-20 and the Pentax 12-24 (maybe Pentax 10-17 Fisheye) As the price the Pentax 12-24 is almost 2 times as the Sigma 10-20 but as I read the reviews both are good lens. Actually I am wondering if the Pentax one worths it's price compared to the Sigma one or should I go for the Sigma? Is there any noticeable IQ or CA advantage to the Pentax? Some says the Sigma becomes best if stopped down... but I would like to have a lens which is good at wide open too. So any advice? Is the Pentax that much better than the Sigma as the price shows or not? :D Thanks, .t -- 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: Info about Katz Eye Focusing Screens
The metering and AF would never be affected by focusing screens, since it's done 'behind the mirror'. Cheers, Timber It seems, putting a DS/Katzeye scrren in a K10D (and K20D I suppose, I do not expect any change there) would cure (at least up to a certain point) the metering problems with K/M lenses and provide a situation comparable to D/DS etc bodies. It also provides microprism if so you chose but it might as well degrade the metering performance with A/F/FA/DA lenses.
