New model coming out, or maybe just a winter sales generation strategy?

The K1III is expected to be announced later this year.

Dave,
Lovely picture and nice that you can do that.
US parent can get pretty paranoid.
Try taking pictures with a big camera in a MickeyD's playland.

Great shot.

Though after having seen a number of pictures from K20D I tend to think 
that ISO 100 is a thing of a past. Only older cameras and their 
respective users would take a shot at such low ISO ;-).

No offense, no pun, just a mild irony.

Re: PESO: Peekaboo, I See You

[Adam Maas]

One of the oddities of my D300 is that I shoot much more at low ISO's
than I ever did with my older bodies. I suspect some of this has to do
with the really nifty Auto ISO on the Nikon (You set max ISO and the
minimum shutter speed you want it do maintain, set the camera to the
minimum ISO you want and let it do the thinking, works VERY well,
better than the K10D's already good Auto ISO).

I've probably taken more ISO 200 shots on the D300 than I did on my
K10D & *istDS combined.

I do need to try out ISO 100 on it though.

When I'm waiting for the tube I'm always very aware of who is around and
behind me. It doesn't have to be deliberate - on a crowded platform it could
happen accidentally.

I saw on TV recently a shot of a subway station somewhere where they had fully 
enclosed the platform with doors that match up with where the train stops 
(imagine like a horizontal elevator).  May have been the series about great 
cities hosted by Gryff Rhys Jones.  Something tells me it was Tokyo but I'm not 
sure.

It made me wonder why other cities haven't done this.

the Moscow underground is like that. In London the Jubilee Line from
Waterloo to Stratford (including my station at North Greenwich) is like that
too, but it's the most recent addition to the network.

The subways in Hong Kong and Beijing both had those kind of barriers. I 
can't remember if Nanjing had them or not, but I think they did.


It would probably be *very* expensive to retro-fit them to existing 
systems. You not only have to install the door mechanism, but find some 
way to make the trains stop in exactly the right spot every time so they 
line up with the doors.

I don't think it would be particularly difficult. The trains have to stop in
more or less the same place anyway, and regulars get to know where the doors
are. 

When they built the Jubilee Line extension here a few years ago they put
platform doors on at the new stations, but the old stations still don't have
them, so there is a mixture on the one line. For a few weeks after the new
ones opened there was the occasional delay while they lined the trains up,
but that was just teething trouble, presumably until they got the tolerances
right and all the drivers fully trained. 

It's far more convenient than having unpredictable delays and line closures
because some selfish sod has thrown themself in front of a train.

Not to difficult if all the cars run on the line, old and new, have
the same length and
doors in the same place on the car.  It's a matter of physical dimensions
on the capital equipment you already own.

IMHO having computer controlled car sets would make this easy to implement.

Unfortunately, at least here in Seattle, I don't believe unionized drivers 
would give up the controls, knowing management would want to pay them less for 
working in a less dangerous environment.

So goes the world.

Re: PESO - I See The Train A'Coming

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

Montreal has had computerized subway operation since before 1976 (it was in 
place by the 76 Olympics).

No train operators' jobs were lost. They still sit at their post with a big red 
mushroom button ready to be pushed in case an emergency stop is required. Along 
with one other train operator (who sits in the driver's compartment of the last 
car) he also operates the passenger doors.

I am sure that if Seattle or any other city implemented automatic operation of 
their subways operators would still be required as a "set of eyes" for 
emergencies, even if some sort of hazard sensing system were installed.

A few have mentioned how close to the platform edge some in this photo are. 
Some of Toronto's older stations have very narrow platforms. I guess they 
didn't have the foresight in the early fifties to see today's crowds. Even so, 
with one person standing against the wall there is barely room for a person to 
pass by without being on the yellow warning strip. I know I feel uncomfortable. 
When a train comes into this station and others with narrow platforms I prefer 
to stand with my back flat against the wall; not that I'm afraid of a "pusher" 
as much as an inadvertent bump by a passerby.

Very poor design no matter when they were made...

Thanks to all who commented and looked!

cheers,
frank

The whole of the Docklands Light Railway here operates without drivers, and 
there really ought to be a word in the language for the feeling of 
disappointment you get when you think you're going to get to sit right at the 
front but just at the last moment some kids turn up and you really can't just 
shove them out of the way and take the seat yourself.

Anyway, the trains still have a 'train captain' whose job it is to, er, stand 
there doing not much since there's an automatic announcer, the doors unlock 
automatically when the train stops, there's no big red button (otherwise a 
passenger would sit on it). I think their main function is to make sure you 
don't take a bike on unless it is fully folded (and they won't accept that a 
non-folding bike is of necessity fully folded at all times). Ocassionally they 
wave a sensor in your general direction to make sure your electronic ticket is 
up-to-date.

Anyway again, since their job is far less skilled than a driver's job, they 
cost far less to hire and train, and the network is more or less immune from 
strikes because the 'train captains' can be sacked very cheaply.

A few years ago Seattle built and implemented a "Light Rail" system at great 
expense. Decades ago they built a tunnel through downtown with 5 or 6 stops, 
but the money for rail traffic never materialized. It therefore became the "Bus 
Tunnel" with ventilation inadequate for the fumes from the diesel buses. So 
they bought a fleet of "hybrid" buses that could power through the tunnel on 
electric power, but not enough of them. They then upgraded the ventilation 
within the tunnel to cope with the many diesel buses still needed for the rider 
traffic. All this time they were using "Electric Buses" called "Trolleys" above 
on the regular streets.

Then they closed the tunnel for two years to tear out the original tracks for 
light rail and regrade them because they were the wrong gauge, and the wrong 
height from the cars to the platforms.

Finally finished the light rail system downtown several years ago with design 
promises to reach out to the suburbs north, south, and east of Seattle. That 
has been set aside as too expensive at this time.

Developers were willing to spend big bucks to buy the land the city had been 
using to house and maintain an antique rail trolley running from the historic 
Pioneer Square district over to and down the waterfront and back for tourists 
so they could see all the cool places they could spend money. Without the barn, 
there was no place to maintain the old trolleys, so they modified several old 
buses to 'look like' they were trolleys to handle the load of tourists, 
especially since they now were docking dozens of cruise ships a season with 
millions to spend.

Next they built a short line light rail from downtown to South Lake Union, 
promising developers foot traffic if they would invest in replacing much of the 
old commercial area with new shiny apartments and shops. There went our Pro 
camera shop and custom processing labs.

For decades the downtown businesses had been taxed as a subsidy to provide free 
bus fare in the core downtown area to encourage shoppers to park elsewhere, 
preventing overcrowding. When that only partially worked, giving the homeless a 
place to sleep and allowing them to travel all over the area for free, they 
last year did away with the service, charging everyone everywhere. Without the 
incentive to shop downtown with free mobility, business dropped off some. Then 
they tried to kill it altogether by placing new digital parking meters 
throughout downtown, raising the parking rates to cover the costs. These meters 
also notified the meter maids and men when a meter expired, so the chances of a 
big old fine rose considerably.

Then came the 2008 financial crisis.

And I moved well outside of the city to the rural setting I now enjoy. 

I have seen Seattle several times in the past 5 years as I drove past it. For 
$12.00 I can avoid that by taking the ferry to my sister's instead of driving 
the long way around.

The promise to link the light rail up to the northern areas of Puget Sound is 
pretty much dead, though maps can still be found. Doesn't look like Seattle and 
Tacoma will be linked at the airport as planned, though Seattle's portion of 
that system now reaches the airport.

And, all the operators of all the systems are still 100% union.

Re: now I see. (was LX is BACK...)

I don't know anything about different materials having been used. I have
four pristine LX's and one that is "highly brassed" There are a few very
light scratches on it, but every corner and edge has the finish completely
and smoothly worn off almost to the point one might think it was constructed
that way. I obtained the camera without a finder, so the finder is new. The
worn places are the color of brass, the color of the brass door knobs in my
house. I assumed all LX's looked this way with the finish worn off. The main
body and frame (underneath the leatherette) is a gray metal color. This is
my telescope camera and has no strap or grip.

My other cameras have a washer of very thin leather under the strap
attachments (left side - all save the brassed one have "Grip B") to help
them remain pristine. My first LX (purchased used) came this way and I
thought it a good idea.

RE: now I see. (was LX is BACK...)

[Matamoros, Cesar A.]

I just pulled out my original LX (any excuse to handle it is a good
one) and under the black is the born-grey plating/primer (??)  and this sits
atop the shiny metal - that shows through in quite a few places.  This
camera shows good scars from when I got it back in February 1985.

Just my little input,

Re: Vs: now I see. (was LX is BACK...)

[Todd Stanley]

I believe it's aluminium.  Aluminium oxidizes fairly quickly, so it will
soon turn from shiny silver to dull gray when exposed to air.  I would
guess that by the strap lug it's constantly rubbing up against the metal
and scraping off the oxidized aluminium.

I'll echo that!  My beater LX is in such scruffy condition already that
I'm not at all worried about extra dings or scratches...it's very
freeing.  When my 67 was new I felt like it was a baby that I was afraid
to handle too roughly, and the day I put the first scratch on it I felt
like a grade-A moron...but now I'm not so worried about it, and I'm far
more inclined to take it out with me.

Hey, it's almost my 67's third birthday!  You're all invited out to
Oakville for the party.  ;)

Check your browser or firewall settings for 'blocking ad-windows' or
something similar. I had this problem with Agnitum Outpost, unchecked
the 100X100 image format blocking and so on..., OK after that.

Hi Bob
Make sure you have the latest flash player installed or get it at
http://www.adobe.com/de/downloads/.
Delete your temporary internet files --> extras --> internet options in
IE6/7 or delete the cache in Netscape/Firefox.
Disable any popup/ad blockers for that Gallery site like Norton Internet
Security, IE7 or other content filters/firewalls.

maybe that helps?

Is Bob referring to the Pentax Photo Gallery (on the Pentax USA site) or PDML's 
Pentax User Gallery?

If it's the Pentax Photo Gallery at:
http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/index-flash.jsp?

then I think  it's necessary to have the Flash Plug-in installed for whatever 
web browser is being used.

If its the PUG at:
http://www.pug.komkon.org/

then I don't know as that's a fairly standard HTML page.

Bob, the only reason I can think of is that for some reason you are being 
blocked at the server level by some sort of permissions protocol.
There hasn't been any major changes in the PUG coding for several years, 
it's pretty plain jane HTML.
Try forcing a deep link to see if you can get the images unlinked from the

LX: now I see. (was LX is BACK.. woohoo -slurp-)

[Clive Williams]

I handled an LX for the first time this morning and I'm beginning to
understand why people here like them so much.  It seemed old and was
well-worn (yellowed Pentax lettering on the prism and a lot of brass
showing round the self-timer lever) but it just felt so _nice_!  I
didn't check to see what finder it had, but I was amazed by the clarity
of the view.  They want about GBP200 (USD 290ish) for it.  I'm tempted,
but wary of its age and possible history. Any thoughts?

When the black wears off, what's underneath is brass colored. I suspect
plating to more readily accept a more permanent black coat.

The top of the mutli-function lever button is fabricated from brass and wears 
to reveal brass (the paint has a habit of peeling from these), the top panels 
are fabricated from aluminium and wear to reveal silver coloured aluminium.

Re: I See The Train Acommin Down The Track thanks

[Don Guthrie]

Thanks Ann. I'd guess the trains in your area are passenger carriers 
whereas ours are all freight. Forty years ago the Chicago Northwestern 
ran passenger trains on these same tracks. You could go from Sioux City 
Iowa to Chicago for $30.00.


RE: the buildings. I started a series on old bars. They are disappearing 
faster than old barns.

I'm a great fan of trains -- so I like it fine :-)

Also like the buildings on St Pats day.
