Re: Strange ME Super prints

Yes, I think it is possible. The shutter speeds on the ME Super are electronic, but I suppose the mechanical parts could be a bit sticky. Your systematic test is a very good idea. You might also work thru the shutter speeds manually, ie set the dial to M instead of Auto and adjust your speeds via the buttons then match aperture to get the right exposure. And just about any flash should work fine with the ME Super. It has no TTL flash features so any old flash will do. Regards, Bob S. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

The advantage is it's size. Instead of bumbling about with some three legged monster, you are carrying a broomstick with a camera at the top. It lets you move around the room and thru the crowd easily. It also does a fairly nice job of removing camera shake. Hand held, without a monopod, your camera can move in all three directions, up/down, right/left, and forward/back. With the monopod, up/down is fixed and this helps you get sharper pictures at slow shutter speeds. If I'm lucky, the shots at 1/4 sec to 1/2 sec will be acceptably sharp.

Re: OT: seeking advice on shooting a live music show in a bar.
It's not as steady as a tripod but it's steadier than hand-held - you can either just rest the leg on the floor, or you can with the foot on the floor (or anything else for that matter) brace the leg or camera against your body, a wall, or any other object. It's preferable when there will be little floor space such as when you're in a crowd but you need a telephoto because of the distance, and/or when you want to move around a lot and quickly - no set-up time needed.

Re: OT: seeking advice on shooting a live music show in a bar.
Jody, you asked What does it look like? A basic monopod would be like a hiking stick with a 1/4 - 20 threaded bolt embedded in the top, onto which you screw your camera. (I have one of these I constructed 20 years ago, crude but effective.) The next step up would be a a three or four part commercially made adjustable length walking stick with a 1/4 20 tripod threaded bolt on the top (hidden under the cap of course). A purpose built monopod is a bit larger in tube diameter, heavier, more solid. Visualize one leg of a good tripod. At the top end add a padded handgrip and, instead of just a threaded bolt sticking up, a platform with the tripod bolt in the middle. So when you attach your camera it is supported by the platform and held by the bolt (rather than being supported and held by the bolt, as with the walking stick variation). You can attach your camera directly to the top of this monopod, adjust the length so the viewpiece is a comfortable height for your eye and, as others have noted, move much more freely through a crowd (or a brushy forest) than with a tripod. Of course you lose stability compared to a tripod. One additional variation. Instead of attaching camera to monopod, add a head of some sort. I use a Bogen/Manfrotto 3262QR ball head on the top of my monopod. For normal horizontal shots, this is meaningless, but it makes a huge difference if you want to shot vertical format! I can quickly loosen the tension on the ball, flop the camera over to vertical, and retighten. Exactness is not important as final front-to-back and side-to-side leveling is handled by moving the monopod. And be choosing a head with a quick-release rather than a direct connection to the camera, I can both switch among different cameras and/or just more easily move one camera on and off the monopod (on for photos, off for walking down the trail to the next spot . . .)

More PUG comments
Ken Tam's Frame is a very nicely designed image...interesting angles, strong lines, shadows, and contrasts. Evening Stroll by William Johnson catches a gesturing pair who establish the scale for this building. I like the way the light reflections soften the heavy stones. Nice composition. Puye Cliff Dwellings by William Robb captures the way the light paints the side of these walls...such a delicate theme and variation of the concave/convex interplay of surface and color. The panorama format frames these movements perfectly. Window to the Past by Tom Wanneburg...I was drawn to the window because of the reflecting sun, but I think the stone wall and Brick eyebrow above the window really animate this whole image. Nicely done! Geordie Clarke's Silo at Night...I like the perspective, and the contrast which I find both subtle and dramatic in color and subject. I think a wider lens might have made the bottom left a bit less crowded. Mogul Tomb by Carlos Roya...Beautiful transition from the carved window shapes to the reflected shapes in the room. I also like the way you framed the scene beyond the window...nice depth throughout. Windows 1998 by Gianfranco... Nice graphic simplicity with a touch of humor. Perfectly framed. Fisheye Architecture by RK...nice combination of subject and tools. Forbidden Tower by Bill Peifer...Nice light! Durham Cathedral by David Dixon. I like the contrast of the warm light and the expressive Gothic forms. Well, I've surely worn out my welcome at this point, there were so many worthy images this month.

Re: Pentax-F Macro 35-70mm f/3.5-f/4.5 Zoom Question
Ed Dombek escribió: I've been offered the opportunity to purchase a Pentax-F Macro 35-70 f/3.5-f/4.5 Zoom lens to use with my ZX-5n. Can anyone tell me their experience with it? What features would I lose with a Pentax-F instead of a Pentax-FA lens and my body? You won't lose any features of your ZX-5n. If I purchase it I intend to sell my Pentax-FA 28mm-80mm f/3.5-f/5.6. (I have the Vivitar 19-35mm f/3.5-f/4.5 so I'm not too worried about wide-angle.) I would be doing this to gain Macro capability cheaper than buying the Pentax-FA Macro 50mm f/2.8 or Pentax-FA Macro 100mm f/2.8. I would probably use the savings to buy a Pentax-FA 50mm f/1.4. Does this seem like a good approach? This lens, although it is a better performer than most 35-70 or 35-80, except wide open at the 35 mm. setting, does not have a true macro capability. In the same fashion than many lenses in the late eighties, it has got a Macro mechanism which works at the longest focal length (in its case at 70 mm.). Then the closest focusing distance becomes 0.32 m. instead of the regular minimum focusing distance of 0.45 m. The maximum magnification when using this macro setting is 0.25x I hope this helps. -- Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain -- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: OT: seeking advice on shooting a live music show in a bar.
No, a ball head is not meaningless for horizontal shots. Tilting the monopod about 15-20 degrees and leaning into it holds the camera far steadier than with the monopod vertical. To do that you need some kind of head. --Tom Stan Halpin wrote: One additional variation. Instead of attaching camera to monopod, add a head of some sort. I use a Bogen/Manfrotto 3262QR ball head on the top of my monopod. For normal horizontal shots, this is meaningless, but it makes a huge difference if you want to shot vertical format! I can quickly loosen the tension on the ball, flop the camera over to vertical, and retighten. Exactness is not important as final front-to-back and side-to-side leveling is handled by moving the monopod.

Re: Attention Canadians!
Hi, Michel, The film for both shots was Tri-X. Other than cropping and blowing up, I don't think they did too much to the shot. It was pretty grainy to begin with, probably because the background was so bright, the foreground was most likely underexposed, so the lab compensated when they did the print (please excuse my complete and utter ignorance of the whole developping/printing process - that's what I pay labs for).

Jeff, I believe you advised us that moon rise in SF would be at 104 degrees on a given date. I don't recall the date at the moment, but it has no bearing on my question.

Re: Digital MZ - MR 52 projet still in the air ???
Actually it is a $1000 digital camera, the 22mm x 34mm ccd is what you pay the other six grand for. I have said it here before, and say it again. The only camera on the market in that category right now is the Kodak DCS 460/560. They recently dropped the price to $15,, so how do you feel less than 1/2 that is too expensive? You and I may not be able to afford one, but if someone will be using it to make money it will pay for itself in six months. There are already people using the Canon D-30 to do weddings (I met someone just last Wednesday), but that is not quite up to par, and you have to use an expensive wide angle for a normal. 6mp is going to give a decent 8x10 and the full frame ccd is going to allow use of normal lenses (that is, a $100 28-80 instead of a $1500 17-35. Nikon and Canon are also working on similar cameras. The first to market with one of these full frame six megapixel cameras is going to have a competitive advantage that will last for years. It is just now becoming possible to make that large a chip with decent yields, used to be that you could only get one or two from a wafer. --Tom Todd Stanley wrote: I don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense as I don't think there is a big enough market for a $7,000 K-mount camera to make it worthwhile.

Cameron hood wrote, when describing his, by the way, gorgeous, submission for this month's PUG: Equipment: Pentax PZ-1p: 300mm F4.5 at F32; SMC 'Cloudy' filter; multi-exposure exposure of about 8 - 10 seconds total exposure I wonder what's the benefit of using multiple exposures for an image like his, and, more important, how do you decide when the situation calls for a multiple exposure technique? Can someone that's used to doing this kind of thing, or ,perhaps,s the Author himself, clarify this? Thanks, Eduardo. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: June PUG - Valerio photo
I really like the Valerio photo, but please tell me what this has to do with architecture. What is in the Pentax Users Gallery is at the total discretion of the PUGmeister, Mr. William Robb. In this case, he broke his submission rules, as others have done before him when a member has a baby announcement. Folks, this is supposed to be a cordial group of friends exchanging knowledge and experience with Pentax equipment, photography, and occasionally life in general. You have got to expect and enjoy some off topic remarks or photos from time to time. Regards, Bob S. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: RE:Bad moon rising
Jack, I'm playing with a program called Ephemeris. The azimuth values I've given were based on magnetic north reference. The azimuth for San Francisco on June 5 is 101 degrees. Changing the reading to true north setting I get a reading of 117degrees. Don't blame me if you can't find the moon, I'm not an astronomer.

Well, I think whenever you have a subject which is moving and therefore fills different regions of the frame at different instants of time, you call for multiple exposure. However, in Camron Hood's submission, it is the water which is the only moving subject. This photograph can be created by a long exposure also but the only problem with that is that the dark coloured rocks will appear too bright destroying the contrast in the photograph. I also think that the light was too low while the snap was taken and the cloudy filter added up to the myterious nature of the photograph. I may be wrong but I shall be very happy if somebody tells me the truth. With best regards, Ayash Kanto. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: RE:Bad moon rising
Also, the time and azimuth is different depending upon whether one means geometric moonrise or moonrise as viewed through the refracting atmosphere.
