Re: PUG Deadline Approacheth.....
Hey Bill, Great, I`m glad you got the warmed up!

Re[2]: MZ-SD?!?!
Frantisek, The MZ-S imprints exposure information (meter mode, shutter speed, f-stop, exposure compensation) in between the sprocket holes. If you turn on the date back, it functions like all other date backs - ruining your pictures with a boldly printed date in the frame area.

RE: Rare 35mm lenses (was Re: Melbourne lens shopping + Beethoven's Ninth.)
Wasn't Canon lens a f/0.95 and not f/0.79? I'm pretty sure it was.

IMHO, the limited lenses are restoring their glory. The K series was produced at time that quality meant everything. Then economics and saleability prevailed. As far as I understand, A* lenses have never been victims of economics and saleability. Still, FA* 85/1.4 goes for what (older) A*85/1.4 and (a lot older and slower) K85/1.8 I don't have doubts that they are good. My question is, are they *that* good? There are other lenses from the same time (C N) that go for half the money (I seriously doubt that Cannon L glass is inferior to Pentax A*). Or is it simply the lust factor? -- which would be very understandable (found myself guilty of that on more than one occasion), since these lenses *are* rare, but that has little to do with photography. As for Cannon 50/0.79 -- at least I can understand why it is a collectible, there're not that many other 0.79 lenses around (in fact, I am not aware of any).

Re: Analog TTL flash correction
Avca But the camera will give you the metering including this exp comp factor, Avca right? Avca So, if you want fill flash, you put 1/4x and then add two stop to what the Avca meter tells you is the right exposure in manual mode? Avca Regards´ That's my understanding of it, and also the way I did it with SFXn (BTW, SFXn has DIGITAL flash, not ANALOG). Other question: when I put LX on manual, and flash away on TTL, will I get just a small burst of flash (the minimal one the TTL can handle) because the metering is combined of ambient and flash light, or will I get grossly overexposed frame?

Re: Rare 35mm lenses (was Re: Melbourne lens shopping + Beethoven's Ninth.)
I never could understand why people pay so much for these, except the consumerism and lust factor. I mean, the 1.8/85 is great lens (the very similar or same Zeiss/Zeiss Jena design is great) but a lens designed mainly for wide open performance with use of advanced glass types like the 1.2 or 1.4 85s from Pentax,Canon,Zeiss will surely be better, at least at the wider apertures. Perhaps some people love their Pentax bodies so much that they wouldn't consider getting another body just for another maker's lens. Frantisek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Daniel, bye! Enjoy the free time of being offlist as you will find you have much more time left for actual *photography* ;-)) Should you decide you are feeling you need another dose of the drug, there is a solution for you which I once used with moderate to good success: unsub from the list sub to the pentax-discuss-nomail (this is a list where you can post here, but don't receive any mail). read your and others posts on the web archives. There is one catch - the archives are a free volunteer service, and sometimes they can lag behind the list traffic for several days even more. Sometimes they are pretty fast. If you feel you can't bear the lag, you can of course find and pay for a paid 100% working service ;-) This way, you can keep your daily dose, keep in touch, even post questions and read the answers on the web archive or in your personal mail.

Re: We have the Limited 31 how good was/is the 30?
I don't have Stan's collected comments in front of me, so mine may overlap. I should add that I'm becoming a fan of using in-between focal lengths (like 30 or 31) to replace a pair (28 and 35): From Pentax catalog: The perfect solution for those trying to choose between the 35 and 28mm focal lengths. Light weight and ample lens speed. Tong Xu: I recently conducted resolution tests between the K35/2.0, the A35/2.0, and the K30/2.8. The 30/2.8 is amazing. It outperforms the 35 2.0s at every respect. The K beat the A in center resolution at all f/stops, and tied it for corner resolution. (Results in Paul's file under 35 mm focal length.) Yoshi: Hama's rectangular hood (52mm) is the best hood I have ever seen for K28/3.5, K24/2.8, K28/2, K30/2.8, K35/2, and K35/3.5 in my experience. Yoshihiko Takinami - . . .excellent optically; well corrected aberrations, very few distortion, very high actual/visual resolution, good color rendition. . .Yoshi: I love this lens. :^) I like K30/2.8 better than any 28mm lens Pentax ever made. It's compact in size and very well built. How about optical qualities: resolution, contrast, color, distortion, bokeh, light fall-off, etc.? It has great resolving power visually/actually, excellent contrast and good color rendition. Distortion and light fall-off seem very slight, and its bokeh is really good. I have placed a sample photo taken with this lens at http://www.takinami.com/yoshihiko/photo/gallery01/pf0004.html It was dim, cloudy morning I take that photo.

Re: Super Program buyer
William, I was wrong. I was thinking of my Yashica Electro rangefinders. On the original full-size models (45/1.7 lens), click stops were every 1/3 stop. On the later, slightly smaller GL, this was changed to half-stops. William Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Curious. I have both the older Super Program with the 400..800..1600 ASA/ISO dial and the newer one with the 400...1000.1600 dial. Both have click stops for film in 1/3 stops. There are other subtle differences between them as well. Is there a third version of the Super Program out there?

The 120K is the big brother of the legendary 105/2.8K. Every bit as good, according to those who have owned both. If you're just starting to build a set of primes, the 120 can replace a 100 and 135.

April PUG review from Cotty - better late than never?
Well, it's a Saturday afternoon, I've just vacuumed the house top to bottom, the Mrs. has buggered off to the shops and the lad has a friend to play and they're outside terrorising the neighbours (hilk hilk). Must be time to settle down with a good Brownian Motion producer - say a really nice hot cup of tea - and look at the PUG for April: 'Still Life' As usual, I go through every one using the 'next' button, and those that I stop longer on get some comments. They are ALL good: the standard is always very high and as usual it's a great way of making one feel inadequate ;-) Off we go... Orange Thibault Grouas Thibault's first PUG submission and he's come up trumps. What a smashing abstract, beautifully composed. Very interesting image to look at. Well done! Juicy Harold Rust Works for me! Nice composition and the peel on that orange looks like it would cut through steel. Excellent. Pepper Wendy Beard A joy to look at. What a stunning composition and a terrific image. You say it's a pepper but like an inkblot, I see all sorts of things. Real class shot. Superb. Peachy II Steve Larson I took a minute but decided I like this shot, if only for it reminding me of bottoms (!) and the human form. I also see steep hills and a valley going on forever. Oh yeah, and peaches ;-) Nice one. Captive Cactus Kathy Leickly Another beautiful image from Kath. Lovely composition and colours. Don't be afraid to stop the lens down until it's almost capped up - depth of field at these magnifications are always tricky. I really like this. Lone Crusader Satish Kumar S.K. Always happy to oblige with comments for a novice PUGster, this shot has a nice serene feel to it. The softness of the plant doesn't detract from the overall feeling, and considering the light was going, and you had no tripod, it's a good effort. Well done. Tulip Aconquija Backlit tulips with a dark background and the photographer has produced a fantastic shot. The deep colour and 'focal gradation' make this pic a real stunner. It grew on me the more I looked at it. Brilliant! Summer Blossom Ashley Osborne At only eleven years old, Ashley has grasped the basics of photography and produced a lovely image. Don't be afraid to fill the frame, Ashley. On the other hand, the best piece of advice anyone could ever give you is that if it looks right to you, then it *is* right. That's the only thing that counts - as long as you're happy with it. If you're not, you won't rest until you go back and do it again until you are. Well done. Meter With Maid Paul Stenquist Nice composition, and startling colour. Yep, works for me. Say is that a 67 on your tripod or are you going to the moon? ;-) Resting Engine Parvaiz Interesting image of a motorbike framed by tree and foliage. Works for me! Urban Still Bill Peifer Gritty shop front instils uncertainty. Nice capture, Bill. Stones Alexey Tikhonov Lovely low-key mono of some floor. What a terrific picture. I'm biased because I like low-key images, but wow - what a sense of feeling this conveys. The lovely way the light catches the bricks, the subtle footprints in the dust. I can smell the scene from here. Dark, dank, moody. This month's runner-up for me. Well done Alexey. Kitchen Window, San Antonio Dick Jones Shots of windows, looking out, are always a favourite with me. I've always wanted to put together a collection of pictures like this. Dick's done well here - capturing the feel well. Lighting's always tricky because the intensity from outside is usually going to clash with the ambient in the room, if any, and getting the balance right is not easy. Dick has got it just right and the result speaks for itself. Really pleasing image, thanks. (Aside: a primary school project for me in the early 70s in Cupertino, Ca, was to build Mission Santa Barbara out of sugar cubes! Some things you never forget...) Bonsai and Bulb Matt Bevers Matt's first PUG with his first roll from his first MX. I can see the making of a fine art photographer here. At first I thought the vertical banding above the subjects might be a scanner issue, but I realise that it's part of the background. Don't forget that the finished image is what you will be judged by, Matt. Get it to your satisfaction, then you'll be able to live with it, and yourself. I like this shot. Technically you've chosen a difficult method - lots of backlight means you're always in danger of turning things into silhouettes, which if desired is fine. Try shoving some light onto the scene from the front, not a lot, just enough to put a bit more detail into the tree. In monochrome, an anglepoise lamp works fine. The bulb vase is nice, the twisty shapes inside betraying the organic nature of the subject. A really great first effort, take a bow!

But, I'm making that goofy only-on-your-drivers-license grin into the lens of the camera, I notice some small words around the lens bezel that read Cosmicar Pentax. Okay, I'm thinking, maybe this won't turn out so bad after all. It did. Maybe I'll submit it for a PUG rogue's gallery! t - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Hi Cotty, Thanks for the kind words, I feel very honored finally making the Cotty list (even if it did take a minute to decide if you liked it ;) )!

RE: Rare 35mm lenses (was Re: Melbourne lens shopping + Beethoven's Ninth.)
Most of Pentax's K Series Lenses are highly sought after because they exude quality and performance. Many people purchase these lenses (e.g., K28/2.0, K30/2.8, K35/2.0, K50/1.2, K85/1.8, K105/2.8, etc...) and will never sell them (I won't sell mine either...); when they occasionally do show up on eBay or stores, they sell at a very high price and very quickly (because of their reputation).

Re: Anybody selling ME Super??
Don't worry, it's absolutely alright to post WTB/FS stuff. We've been sort of trying to encourage FS Fridays, but there's no enforcement. I may have an ME Super that comes in at that price with an A 50mm f2. It came in to our place on Wednesday, and I may have a local buyer, but if that falls through I was planning to offer it to the list. It's in pretty good shape, but there's a fair amount of wear in the black paint around the door. Also have a manual focus Sigma 24-70mm zoom and a set of Kenko tubes with the A-series contacts. I may take the tubes myself. ;) -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: MZ-S Focus Select in use is a moot point.
Actually I would have a very good use for selectable focus points after today. I found myself using only the center sensor on my MZ-3 and PZ-20 then recomposing each shot. Most shots would have had my point of focus using one of the outer sensors or upper center sensor on the MZ-S it would have been nice to compose and select the sensor ( or preselect ). Now that I finally have the right lens arsenal it's time to save and take the MZ-S plunge. __ Find, Connect Date! http://personals.yahoo.ca - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

I just dropped off 4 rolls of fuji 160 NPC and he said he'll reprint as many times as it takes to get it right. He'll also save the channels so for when he runs into more pro film, actually he wants me to bring him more pro film so he can create more channels.

Re: Shooting the Moon
Whoops, That's my fault. Putting words down without thining . . . at any rate, I found out my 4 telescope has an f-stop of f13. This means it's a little less light (1stop) than the moony-11 rule suggests . . . . . . I was thinking though, for proper exposure, weather a full moon or a 1/4 moon, shouldn't the exposure always use the moony-11 rule? I'm supposed to be measuring the reflected light . . . If I compensate for less light of a 1/4 moon, I'll get the dull 3/4 in a good exposure, but the 1/4 that is there will be washed out, right?

The Don's Photo show
Just got home from the Don's Photo show here in town. Nice little show. Representatives from Kodak, Nikon, Fuji, Canon, Leica and Pentax, among others. Didn't stop at the Canon booth. I grabbed an F100 off the Nikon table to show someone what a cow it was beside and MZ-S (much to the chagrin of the Nikon rep). Had a nice chat with the new Pentax rep. Sold a couple of girls on the Pentax brand. They were very impressed when I picked up a 20mm f/4 AF lens (NICE) and popped it onto my LX and took a picture. Apparently, you can't do that with other brands that have gone from manual focus to automatic focus. Finally got to handle the 67II. Nice rig!! They had the 50-100mm zoom on it. Quite a large rig, but well balanced. I had no issues with it. The controls were well placed and intuitive. He had the hot shoe handle on it, so it was really well balanced. They did a nice job on this camera. They also had a 645N with a few lenses. I can see what the excitement is about with this camera. It has a really nice feel to it, and works very smoothly. AF on a medium format camera is a bit weird, but certainly a nice touch. He had the 45mm and 300mm lenses for it, as well as a short zoom. I was quite impressed with the light weight of it. A great alternative to 35mm, if you want a larger negative, without a lot more camera. I spent a bit of time with the MZ-S. I am still impressed with the build. The thing exudes quality through it's pores. He also had an MZ-6 on the table, but I didn't pick it up. It looks pretty much like the rest of the MZ line. I heard the guy going over the feature list, and it sounds like a pretty impressive camera. I also saw what might well be my first digital camera. The Lisle Kelco guy had a (soon to be released) Leica Digilux I digital camera. It is a bit big, has a Leitz 2x zoom lens (I think it was 22mm to 44mm), a nice big and sharp view screen, with a flip up shade, reminiscent of a TLR shade. It also has full manual control for exposure and focus, which I liked, as well as the usual automated exposure controls. There is also a hot shoe on top, so the thing isn't tied to the built in flash.

Bob, whilst everything else is sensible, this is possibly not prudent from the retailer's pov. Especially as it's a foreign transaction. 7day shop take advantage of the fact that single packages valued at GBP18 or less coming into UK from outside EEC trade zone attract no import duty or VAT. Thus your order for 20 odd rolls of film may well turn up in 5 or 6 packets. Bizarre, but true.

The Lisle Kelco guy had a (soon to be released) Leica Digilux I digital camera. It is a bit big, has a Leitz 2x zoom lens (I think it was 22mm to 44mm), a nice big and sharp view screen, with a flip up shade, reminiscent of a TLR shade. It also has full manual control for exposure and focus, which I liked, as well as the usual automated exposure controls. There is also a hot shoe on top, so the thing isn't tied to the built in flash. The camera is 4MP, and will have a street price of ~CAN$1400.00 I have some questions about the Leica digital, for someone who's actually seen it -- you, for instance. How does it do manual focus, and is there a distance scale on the lens? No distance scale on the lens. The focus ring is on the lens, but I think it drives a motor in the lens. There is no focus indication in the finder, but there is on the screen. Focus confirmation is based on the center of the screen, but I think manual focus could be done adequately on the view screen. It seemed better than the Canon and Nikon digitals that I have seen. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: The Don's Photo show
- Original Message - From: Paul Jones Subject: Re: The Don's Photo show I've played with it, It does manual focus by making a beep noise when the shot is in focus. It was based on getting the centre of the viewfinder in focus. If it has a real manual focus through the viewfinder then i'd buy one. Its the exact same camera as the panasonic Lumix and the panasonic is cheaper. Right about the manual focus. It shows up on the view screen as well, which seemed better than the other screens I have seen on digicams.

RE: MZ-S Focus Select in use is a moot point.
I find the 6 point autofocus on the MZ-S annoying at times... but very useful at others. I sometimes like carrying my camera over my shoulder and just let the camera autofocus and shoot, so I can get some candid street shots... Granted they always don't come out perfect or the camera decides to focus on something irrelevant... but considering the number of shots I've tried with having the camera slung over my shoulder and me not looking through the viewfinder... the MZ-S has fared well. That's one thing I couldn't do with my PZ-1p with it's one focus point. Check out this picture... I shot it without even looking through the viewfinder... I sorta like it. But hey, that's my opinion... http://home.attbi.com/~gbovino/pics/street-riders.JPG Gabe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pat White Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 2:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MZ-S Focus Select in use is a moot point. Actually, I find focus point selection to be very useful when shooting portraits. I select the second point from the right, which lines up nicely with the subject's eye, rather than having auto focus point selection locking on the nearest spot in the frame, often the elbow. This makes your shooting a one-step process (frame and shoot), rather than two-step (lock focus, re-frame and shoot). Also, it's easy to forget to lock focus in a busy session, so one more chance for error is eliminated at the start. For more general shooting, I just leave the selector on auto.

RE: MZS-D?!?!
Wrong, I'm afraid, Peter: the date/time imprint is in the lower right fifth of the frame,as is common with most systems. The exposure information is imprinted above the frame area, between the sprocket holes. For that reason, I have swicthed the date/time imprinting off, and occasionally use it on the fi5rst frame of a film only, just for record-keeping purposes.
