Re: *ist D Response from Pentax USA
Rechargeable NiMh AA's work well, and pretty inexpensive to replace when they wear out. You can also keep a set of lithium AA's in the bag for, just in case.

RE: Quiet list - taking pictures!
I do seem to recall your mentioning that you came from around here. Didn't you live in Ann Arbor or thereabouts?

Am I missing something here or is this list almost dead? Things have been really slow. Is everyone on vacation? Vic

Re: salt spray on camera
Over the weekend I took a ferry ride and got salt spray on my camera, lens, monopod and ballhead. I wiped everything down with a napkin right afterwards, and when I got home about an hour later I went over everything again with a damp paper towel and followed with a dry towel. The lens was covered with a UV filter, which I washed with soap water. So, is my stuff safe from salt corrosion or is there something more I need to do? Thanks, Amita In 1975 i dropped my SP500 in the Pacifac Ocean off the Queen Charlotte Islands in Bc Canada.I wiped it thoroughly for an hour with napkins cloths etc.Then i let it sit in the sun(about 15 min in the QCI's) I still have the camera with only a CLA in 2000 to fix a sticky shutter. Hope that helps Dave

Re: Selling my Pentax MX, ME and lenses ??
Well for automatic fill flash. Set your auto flash for one stop lower ASA than the film in the camera. That's easy enough. The MX and ME Super are prehaps the lowest vibration cameras Pentax ever made. If you are having a problem with yours have the mirror bumper foam replaced, should not cost much. In fact a full foam replacement, and CLA, may be in order if it has not been done in the last 10 years or so. The 28/2.8 has the repatation of being the worst lens Pentax ever made, trade it for a 3.5. There is one thing certain, if those two cameras are in proper working order they will take photos as good as any 35mm camera made. The newer cameras have more features is all, and to many of us that means you have to learn how to probram features as well as learning photography. Twice the work for no extra gain. Of course, if you are not interested in learning photography...

I have decided to sell my Pentax MX, ME super and lenses, 28mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.7, 75-150 f/4 zoom. Unless somebody can convince me it is a mistake. Why am I selling? Quite simply I want several things these cameras can't deliver. I want an automatic fill-flash system, some kind of vibration reduction so I can handhold shots when I travel and can't use a tripod.

It does sound like I can't just copy entire folders, though. sob, sob. :) The Basic process is; open a new project (file new, select type), drop files, subs to be copied, check that the compilation will fit the media and then select the left compilation file display and then open write dialogue (file, write CD), set you actions under the burn tab in the dialogue box then hit the write button on the right. Nero will allow you to drag a directory to the New compilation. Assuming that you have your windows in a vertical format (you can select the view format under Window in the menu) you can drag files or subs from either of the two right hand panes into either of the left hand panes. I'm running 5.5.10.42. It will let you know if the paths are too long or if file names are inappropriate unless you over-ride the checks in the Write CD dialogue window.
