45 - 125mm zoom question
Hi all, I'm currently trying to sell my K45-125 f4 zoom. One of the questions that cropped up was about a matched close-up lens, that sits in the lens case, presumably like the one that came with the K85-210 f4.5 My answer was that my lens didn't have one and there wasn't anywhere to put it in the case lid, like the 85-210 (I used to own one of those). As the lens came to me boxed, with the lens hood and case strap still in the bags I;m fairly confident that it never had a closeup lens. Anyway, while looking at the accessory sheet that came with an LX I bought last week, I noticed an Attachment Lens for 45-125mm Zoom listed. Looking at the line up of lenses, there is a 45-125mm zoom listed, but as 67mm filter size. Mine is a 58mm filter size, as shown on Boz's K-mount pages, and all the ones I could find for sale (KEH etc) were listed as 58mm, if the filter size was shown. The weird thing is that all the K mount lens catalogs that I have (the little orange K version, the light blue M verson and the black A version) show a much bigger lens, which probably would be about a 67mm size. Even the catalog that came with the lens lists it as 67mm! I thought maybe the 58mm version was the old screw mount one and maybe the 67mm version was a newer version, but from what I can find the screwmount was also 67mm. What's even stranger is that both lenses are listed as f4, so all that extra glass doesn't seem to be doing much. So the question is, does anyone have a 45-125mm zoom with the 67mm filter size? Do you have the closeup lens? Thanks to anyone who can satisfy my not-so-idle curiosity Paul Ewins Melbourne, Asutralia - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Processing OLD film -question
Outrageously old rolls of exposed film pop up in our household occasionally - found in a drawer or at the bottom of a closet. I have two rolls found like this.

Now, this could have been due to exposure errors, but before I develop the next roll (details below), would there be any advantage of pushing or pulling development to compensate for the effects of age on exposed images? The next roll is at least 6 years old The label on the cassette indicates it's a roll of Jessop KB17 36 exp @ 100 ISO and was made in Croatia.

Re[2]: A Book Recommendation
Hi, What would the other two be? Is OBAP one of them? yes it is. I'm not sure about the 3rd though. A few years ago when I started getting back into photography in a big way I found Nevada Weir's Adventure Travel Photography very helpful, although it's not in the same league as OBAP or Kobre. Photojournalist with Mary Ellen Mark and Annie Leibovitz, and the Elliott Erwitt one in the 'Masters of Contemporary Photography' series were very helpful to me back in the late 70s/early 80s. Visual Anthropology by John Malcolm Collier is very good, but probably a bit too anthropological for most photographers. Truth needs no ally by Howard Chapnick, and Witness of our time by Ken Light are also outstanding. Most of these are less technical than Kobre's book, but the essence of them all is that working photographers who do the kind of thing that I aspire to are talking about their methods and techniques, and the problems they encounter in the field. It's probably summed up by Hurn in OBAP who says one of the most important pieces of photographic equipment is a good pair of shoes, an obversation I entirely endorse. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, May 11, 2002, 4:26:52 AM, you wrote: What would the other two be?

Re: Quasi OT: An incredible experience plus photography
Hi Joe, Bee swarms are pretty neat, eh? Same thing happened here a couple of months ago right in the middle of the street. I was scared at first approaching them with my 200mm, but I was able to get within four feet of them (close focus). My pics turned out great as the bees are close to 18% gray I guess. Never got stung, as Chris says, they got other things on their minds. Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California - Original Message - From: Joseph Tainter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 4:00 PM Subject: Quasi OT: An incredible experience plus photography When I got home from work yesterday my wife showed me that we had a bee swarm on a tree in our yard. She thought they were looking to establish a new colony somewhere. It was amazing - about a cubic foot of bees. The PZ-1p was loaded with Supra 400, so I slipped on the Sigma 70-300 APO, ran it out to 300 mm. and switched it to macro mode (goes to 1:2). Then I proceeded to shoot from several feet away. It was already too dark for ISO 400, though, so off I ran to the nearest store (Walgreen's) and picked up some Superia 800. Back to shoot, but even still too dim for f5.6 (@ 300 mm.). After a few tripod shots, I got bold. Off came the Sigma and on went the FA 100 mm. f2.8 macro. We crept closer and closer and the bees never bothered either of us. They were completely absorbed in whatever they were doing. Shot a roll with the macro lens (1/125 @ f4) and called it a day. This morning they were still there. As soon as the light got pretty good, another roll went through the 1p with the FA 100 going through its paces. Then off to leave off the film, and to work. Returning home this afternoon the bees are gone. What a privilege to have seen this phenomenon of nature. The mass of bees was constantly in motion. As I moved in with the macro, I could see that groups of them would form for a few seconds, and rub their antennae together (exchanging nectar or information, I don't know). Then the mass would swarm over them and the scene would be gone. But all the time new scenes were forming. I'll be biting my nails until I know that the negatives came out okay. If so, there'll certainly be at least one image posted to some future PUG. Maybe this is more common in other parts. But I live in New Mexico where even lizards struggle to survive.

Re: Medium Format - I can see clearly now...
I'm not sure if Ektachrome 64 is still available. But you're right: it had a distinctive blue cast. Ektachrome 100S is totally different. And if you want a slight warm cast, Ektachrome 100WS provides a bit of that. It makes it look like everything was shot an hour before sunset, which can be good if everything isn't being shot an hour before sunset:-). But I like all of the new Ektachrome 100 variants. The 100VS provides high saturation, but not as pronounced (dare I say garish) as Velvia. Like Velvia, it's more difficult to scan than the 100S.

Re: Quasi OT: An incredible experience plus photography
About 8 years ago, back when I worked in an office, a swarm of wasps decided to make a hive right on my office window (on the outside, that is). I could see right inside the hive! It was quite amazing. When I first noticed it, it was about the size of a walnut, and it eventually grew to about 15 inches across over the period of several weeks or a month. I thought it odd that the wasps didn't seem to mind that I peered in on a regular basis - I guess they knew that I couldn't harm them throught the glass or something. I watched the little pupae (is that the word?) squirming around, being attended to by some wasps, watched other wasps build the nest around the edges; it was so cool! I'd bring my kids into the office, so they could look too, figuring it was educational and all. Since my office was right next to a school yard, I suppose the school board was worried about the kids, and it was eventually removed, which I was quite sad about. Worse of all, that was in my dormant years, photographically speaking, and didn't have a camera!

RE: Pentax SF10
Ola, Oscar. Que tal? I used to own a Pentax SF10, my first Pentax AF camera. At the time, I was intrigued by the two-segment metering and PROCES metering (a fancy marketing term for automatic exposure compensation ;-). I didn't like the SF1/SF1n center-weighted *only* metering. I thought the AF was good, the built-in RTF was good. Shutter speed below 1/15 goes blinking orange, but that's fine. Lack of depth-of-field preview didn't bother me as much as I had thought. The PROCES metering can be fooled if the subject isn't in the center, but the memory lock comes in handy for this. Using memory lock or in metered manual, only the central area which is larger than the spot meter area of the PZ-1 is used which I thought was nice (sort of a poorman spot-center weighted metering ;-). I got many, many good well-exposed pictures from the SF10. But the straw that broke the SF10 back for me ;-) was the lack of exposure compensation. Thus, when using flash (RTF or TTL external), it was totally out of control when I need to be in control! It was the reason I finally sold it and use my MF bodies (MX and SuperProgram) for a while. Later got the PZ-1.

Re: Pinhole Question
A normal SLR's TTL metering won't be any good for pinhole photography sincethere's no aperture size feedback to the camera's exposure circuit. A normal lens' aperture ring operates the camera's diaphragm resistor to tell the meter what aperture you've selected. With pinhole photography, there will be no such connection. Metering will be via hand held meter or Sunny 16 (Moony 11) and aperture will be calculated. Scott Nelson wrote: Actually not true. On M and K series lenses, the lens tells the body how many stops down from wide open the aperture is set using the mechanical aperture coupler. These lenses do not communicate the absolute aperture. If there is not such coupler on the lens, the body just reads it as wide open (which is the correct exposure, because there is no auto aperture on a pinhole). After all, most Pentax bodies still work with screwmount lenses (no aperture info) and mirror lenses (also no aperture info, because it is fixed). The more important issue is whether the TTL meter is sensitive enough to give an accurate exposure with so little light. Try this: Take a Pentax K body set on auto exposure, and a lens set at full aperture. Slowly twist the lens off the camera while looking through the viewfinder. You should find that although the image brightness stays the same, the calculated exposure will increase as you twist. In other words, without a lens or other object to turn the aperture coupling lever fully clockwise, the camera will calculate the exposure assuming the lens will stop down when the shutter is pressed, when for a pinhole, etc. this won't be the case. Therefore (if not using an LX), for getting correctly exposed photos for pinholes, microscopes, etc., you need to make sure the aperture lever is locked at maximum - a T2 mount or M42-to-PK mount both move the aperture coupler and ensure this is the case.

Re: Medium Format - I can see clearly now...
Hi Cotty, It was a 6x7 with the 105/2.4 lens. Just a quicky. I couldn't park there for very long, so I took a meter reading down the block with an incident meter. Parked the car, hopped out, and shot. The yellow curbs are reflecting in the grille. I don't like that. I'm going to go back and do it again when the theater marquis lights are on at twilight. I'll bring a monopod and an assistant with a white reflector. I'll have him lay the reflector over the foreground yellow curb. I can always take it out in PhotoShop. Paul Cotty wrote: I'm not sure if Ektachrome 64 is still available. But you're right: it had a distinctive blue cast. Ektachrome 100S is totally different.

It makes it look like everything was shot an hour before sunset, which can be good if everything isn't being shot an hour before sunset:-). But I like all of the new Ektachrome 100 variants. The 100VS provides high saturation, but not as pronounced (dare I say garish) as Velvia. Like Velvia, it's more difficult to scan than the 100S.

Re: Medium Format - I can see clearly now...
Thanks Shel, I picked up a roll of EPP. I'll give it a try. In my former life back in the late seventies, when I was shooting a lot of transparency film in my Mamiya TLR, I used EPS, which was an ISO 200 film. I was quite fond of that. I suspect EPP is a similar formulation. The woman in the store seemed to think it was more contrasty than Ektachrome 100, and slightly less saturated with more pronounced grain. That might be a nice combination for a lot of the things I shoot. BTW, I bought that Chevy in LA and brought it back here to Motor City where it belongs :-). We do the Woodward Dream Cruise every August. (I wear my Elvis wig and gold sunglasses.) I had a 55 two door post car in the sixties and spent years looking for another 55.

Advice Needed For Student
Fellow PDMLers: My wife's god-daughter is going to have her sweet sixteen birthday in a couple of weeks. She seems to have discovered herself behind a camera at school. She is doing all the usual things: taking pictures for the yearbook, school newspaper, etc. Now that the school year is going to end; her mom, my wife and her grandmom don't want her to lose interest when she has to turn in the school's camera. For her birthday the ladies purchased a ZX-M, the AA battery pack and a smaller Tamrac bag. I'm contributing a SMC-A 50mm/f2 and a SMC-A 28mm/f2.8. I'm going to give her a lens pen, too. My question is this: Should I add another lens? If so, what? I'm thinking a 85-100mm but can't seem to find one at a reasonable price? Suggestions? Anyone looking to sell one? Price is the major factor here. I appreciate any and all responses. Your input will - as always - be greatly valued.
