RE: Really OT:Ireland
Glad to hear you'll be seeing Ireland, it really is beautiful. To give you an idea of the distances, if you drive quickly, you can get from Downpatrick in the northeast to Limerick in the southwest in seven or eight hours, but you'll be pretty tired. Belfast is only about two hours north of Dublin, and the Coast Road from Belfast to the Giant's Causeway is really worth seeing. While you're near the Causeway, you could pass by the village of Bushmill's and visit the world's oldest distillery, and sample some Bushmill's where it's actually made. Crossing into the North is like driving from one state to another in the US, there aren't any Customs posts (at least there were none when I was there in October 2000). The roads are many parts of Ireland are narrow, so don't be surprised when you wander onto the grass occasionally. You'll find that Irish drivers are pretty daring, but also friendly and courteous. If you like shooting landscapes, you'll love the lighting. Since the weather changes so quickly, those beautiful moments when the sun breaks through the clouds happen frequently, but bring more fast film than you would normally carry, since you may run into a few dull days. Incidentally, if anyone recommends a pub as having "great crack", don't run away. It's the Irish word "craic", pronounced "crack", and means "good fun and conversation". Rooms may be chilly in November, so warm PJs might be a good idea. Hope you have a great trip! Pat White
Re: Professional Gear
Using the term pro quickly gets things into a muddle, because of its many connotations. Keep the concept "industrial strength/high performance" in your mind when thinking about camera equipment. Generally, (I said generally) prime lenses and f2.8 constant aperture zoom lenses are ruggedly built and have high performance are considered "pro". Your homework assignment is to find out how many current production lenses Pentax has that meets these criteria.

Re: OT: Tokina 24mm 2.8?
This is hardly off topic... Just between the two of us, because I have one that I'm thinking of selling, the lens kind of sucks. It just isn't particularly sharp across the whole aperture range. When I found out that I liked a 24mm I got a Pentax A series one: great lens. Still have it along with about a half dozen other Pentax primes.

Re: Re[2]: UK trip in October, maybe
Saturday sounds good to me. I've been walking around muttering to myself: 35mm or 645? Or both? One body? Two bodies? One each? Two each? What lens kit? I did a quick inventory this afternoon and found that I have a much larger stock of 120 and 220 film than of 135. So I am seriously considering a simple kit of one 645 body plus only 3 lenses: 45m, 75mm, and 150mm. The 35mm and the 120mm are crying out to me that they want to go along also, but I think I will resist. Though I may swap out the 45mm for the 35mm . . . One extension tube for "macro" work. Maybe even leave the tripod behind.

Hi Steve, Six days isn't that long in Ireland so don't try to squash too much in. Shannon Airport is almost in the centre of Ireland so affords a pretty easy drive to either the West Coast (Galway) or the East Coast (Dublin). You may have to prepare the car rental crowd if you wish to rent a vehicle with automatic transmission as the cars are very predominantly manual in Ireland. The drivers are courteous but a little maniac (very high road toll per capita) also of course it's all right hand drive there. Some of the roads along the peninsulas down south gets pretty tight so don't go for a huge car either. Doing a loop from Galway to Dublin via the south coast would be a very scenic trip but a bit rushed for six days, accommodation won't be a problem but do get yourself a road atlas since only the fairly limited express ways are well sign posted. I expect that you'll have a great time, let me know if you have any questions but remember that there are plenty of great web sites brimming with information.

Re: Really OT: Ireland
Don't miss the Cliff of Moher and the Dingle Peninsula. I thought that
the highly-touted Ring of Kerry was a disappointment, but it should be
better in Nov, when it won't be very crowded.
We especially enjoyed, Newgrange, and hour north of Dublin, which is a
passage tomb probably older than Stonehenge. Trinity College and
Killmainam Gaol are very interesting in Dublin. Two cities that are very
under-rated are Cobh ("Cove"), near Cork, with a beautiful harbor area
and the emmigration museum, and Tralee, which has the national folk dance
center and good traditional pubs. I found the pubs in Dublin to be
mostly smoky rock bars.
Try to stay in small B&Bs, especially in the country. The folks who run
these places are usually great.

Re: 67 Questions
I like all of the films that I've used in 35mm. However, since grain isn't a problem, I use a lot more Portra 400 VC in the 6x7. I also use a lot of Delta 3200. Again, grain is not a huge concern. Other favorites include Plux-X, T-Max 400, and Ektachrome 100 -- in both VS and S stocks. I never project 6x7 transparencies. I generally scan them and make prints.

Re: M 100/4 macro performance
Hi Jonathon, The 100 f/4 is optimised for macro work. However, the A 100 and F 100 macros are faster and perform better for landscape work. If macro performance is not required, any of the 100/105s will do. If, and I say IF you can find a 105 f2.5 K, get it! It is one of the finest. An option would be the screw mount 105 SMCT or Super Takumar. It is the same lens in a screw mount. With a K/m42 adaptor and stop down metering, it will deliver the same performance.

Re: M 100/4 macro performance
>I would like to know if others with this lens have had similar results. I actually have the K 100/4 macro (same optics though), and can second your comments at the subjective level. Landscapes shot with this lens don't seem to have the razor sharpness, contrast and brilliance that I get with my K 24/2.8, K 35/3.5, A 50/1.4 or A* 200/4 ED macro. I am currently seeking a better short telephoto lens for that reason. Macro performance is fair enough, but I find I don't use it much for that either since I bought the A* 200 macro. __ Do you Yahoo!? New DSL Internet Access from SBC & Yahoo! http://sbc.yahoo.com
