I was pretty impressed at some of the options available now for tailgate cooking, etc. But eventually I gave in to temptation and purchased a Charbroil Bandera (on the link below, it's the second item on the page. Ignore the price; I paid around one third the price they show, and all the other comparative pricings I've seen suggest that nobody in their right mind would pay those kind of prices) http://www.americasbestbbq.com/category.cfm?Category=246CFID=661996CFTOKEN=75535041 That definitely doesn't fit in the back seat of the Mustang (the larger option: the other car is a new style Mini Cooper). I had to borrow a neighbour's pickup truck to get it home. It's a little large to take camping, but I'd be tempted; after one weekend smoking brisket pork shoulder, and last weekend grilling steaks over a hickory wood fire, my only question is why it took me so long to give up the gas grill. So now with the new smoker, and a new double oven (which only cost slightly more than my *ist-D did, bought when it was first released) installed as part of our ongoing kitchen makeover, we're set up nicely. Now if only we had anything left to spend on food ...
Re: KR Lens Stuck on IST-D
Hi tom, on 02 Jun 04 you wrote in pentax.list: Where exactly is the pin? AFAIK this pin stucks into the AF-cluth of the camera. I know of a case, where the *istD owner managed to remove a stuck Ricoh lens himself. So it should be possible - but be carefull! Don't try to cut the pin as metal filing might get into the camera and cause even worse problems. Cheers, Heiko
Re: SV: PAW: Street Portraiture
Hi Jens, nice portrait! At first glance the background seemed too simple for me, but it contrastes nicely with her eyes. Although for my taste the blurring is too much, you have captured her expression very nicely. One point, though - I do like more portraits with some background which complements the picture more than just the blue wall (although, as I said, it makes her blue eyes really stand out. You didn't photoshop them did you g). OTOH, there are no distracting forms, the portrait is nicely composed of only several smooth planes. Frantisek

PAW - Historic Picture (at least for me)
After almost 15 years of marriage I've finally taken a picture of my wife that she actually likes! http://www.radix.net/~drzz/paw/karen1.html It's probably not my favorite, but who am I to argue? Besides, I have great new argument: See it took a camera that cost more than $1200 to capture all the nuances of your beauty. If I had some better lenses, then I could really do you justice. All the experts on the PDML agree that the most flattering protrait lens ever is the SMCP-A* 300mm f/2.8. Can I have one please, please?

Re: Pro uses pop-up flash!
I do not use it much, but time to time, it comes handy. I didn't like
the slow recycle time, though. One does have to watch for it. But I do
carry a flash even with the Leica (a small Vivitar). In fact, I think
the best flash for Leica is the AF160, the one which is not square
shaped but sort of pear-shaped. It's really small and fits Leica
nicely ('cause these rangefinders are awkward to use with some flashes
because of their shutter speed dial positioned very near the hotshoe).

PAW - Caged worker
My last PAW: http://fotof.wz.cz/paw Hi, I finally managed to put my malformed (and recently almost exploded) computer into something slightly more akin to order. As I am lagging behind in work and PAWs, and not yet having restored most of the disks, I submit just an old picture with minimal editing, although my SCSI (not yet attached) drive is full of new photographs I think are good :) At least I submitted the photos to a client just before I had the computer crash. In the more or less historic center of Prague, heavy underground collector building is underway. The state's biggest building company is in fact just a lobbyist and subcontracts all the work to smaller companies and groups of season workers, coming from surrounding, mostly eastern states. They work very hard, but nor the state neither the companies or mafia do care much for them. I do not know if this one is one of them. My biggest fault with this photo is the lack of background. It is only a street photograph. I didn't speak with the man, I just hurried by and saw a good picture (at least I like it g) opportunity. Having only smiled to him, I had to continue on my way. Please criticize freely :) BTW, the photo is a heavy crop. I didn't think the large area around would work well with a small picture size for the web. I may later post the whole version. Perhaps the crop is too heavy - I was just doing editing with IrfanView, the only program I have left at the moment. Which is nice but not for exact work. BTW again, after I get things in order, I will submit another version of my last one - News by the wall. I am curious if that second frame I shot will be liked or not. Good light, Frantisek Vlcek

The FAJ had no problems with vignetting that I could see. There was maybe 1/4 of the image overlap. It was all handheld. If the folks on the list have never looked at or used Panavue ImageAssembler, ($64 from www.panavue.com) let me tell you it's the absolute bomb. I tried lining up the 4 shots using Photomerge in Photoshop CS. It was a joke. I plugged them into Panavue, set my flags to the same points in each photo, and voila, what you see is what you get. Panavue seems to look closely at each photo and warp them just so, to produce one hell of a nice panorama. The original is about 8000 x 2000 pixels. I have printed it at 12 x 47 and I'm gonna have to redo it. I somehow got the color balance all wrong and it just looks green. Ah the joys of print color matching.

Film will become a much more expensive proposition barring BW. With that in mind, what is your purpose in selling?

I'll be happy to part with one of my 30 or so cushions though, so you'll at least have some creature comforts out there, and Ash has some lovely potted plants that you can sing to as you go to sleep... ;-P S'alright, I'm hoping to make friends with the apartment office lady... Packed all my bags tonight. This is ridiculous. I have the Lowepro stealth backpack with cameras, mac, lenses, wires, God-only-knows-what aboard as carry-on, along with 5 bottles of Wychwood's finest and a tin of RAF 75th anniversary ale (for Bill) which is incidentally ten years out of date but should bring back all sorts of memories for the old scallywag. That beer is in a marmot bumbag, or fanny pack as the yanks say. Fanny pack. Fanny pack. Fanny pack, ahh that sounds good. International email lists! Anyway, that's the carry on. The checked bagged is a roller-tote thing in black that looks like every other roller tote thing in black ever made so i've been customising it with white gaffer tape and a 357 hemi that'll suck the butt right outa the cat. Should look cute down the baggage claim, roaring its way towards me. Come to papa ...and an Eagle Creek large duffle which will easily enclose a Vulcan bomber including ground crew. I'm not kidding, this thing is big. Shows up on radar. I think even Tom will find lifting it with his manly biceps a considerable challenge. Still, it's under the maximum 32kg weight (individual item) so bollocks. In it goes. I found about 2 dozen recent copies of Amateur Photog knocking about so I'll leave em on Bill's tailgate so just pick em up and take one. Up and at em tomorrow morning, on the Heathrow bus at 10am ish, airborne about 3pm I believe. I must be one of the last to leave on this pilgrimage. It would be REALLY nice if I could have a shower after the flight as I don't thing they would take kindly to having to evacuate the Marrakesh restaurant due to obnoxious odours intervening and upsetting folk. No worries, the flight will be on time, I'll just go and have a word with the skipper and tell him to get a bloody move on mate and bollocks to all that headwind baloney. Like Leslie Nielson popping into the cockpit in 'Airplane' ( I'd just like to say good luck ). Actually the last flight I had, the pilot came on the PA and said we'd be ten minutes late arriving as we'd just lost an engine. An hour later he was on again saying we'd lost another engine and now we'd be 30 minutes late. Later still he was on again about how he was really sorry but number three had gone and now we were going to be two and a half hours late. 'Stone the crows, I said, if another bleeding engine goes we'll be up here all day... Boom boom. Gianfranco, i don't know if you can tell but I opened that bottle of red you gave me in London, boy that's nice wine.

Re: Pentax plans to focus on digital
After giving some thought, I don't see the point to dump my Pentax gears just because they won't make film SLRs anymore (and I won't buy them anyway). I'll be perfectly happy if my F/FA lenses keep mounting on any future DSLRs with AF/AE. :-) Regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan Pentax being the first to spell out reality, I would think that the others are right behind.

There was a link to an article posted to the list last week some time where I believe this photographer encouraged a naive journalist to suggest that he and his custom camera had addressed unexplored photographic territory. Since the focus seems to be the camera not the art I find this very strange as there have been many such cameras (and larger) built over many years and obviously many photos too. In early 2001 I read a web page which outlined an amazing 20x24 inch mobile production camera in which all trim could be executed remotely as the movements had precision stepper motors attached. I still have a set of pics but unfortunately I can't find a current page or the references to the original information.

How awful for you guys. Me? I been there and came home again, I have to work at my volunteer job in the morning. Bill has PDML Central set up waiting for the rush. The Pentax Rep has toys for everyone to play with. The program will be excellent. The weather is georgeous. It looks like this will be a wonderful place to be this weekend. Folks will start arriving tomorrow though the program does not actually start until Friday evening.

Much the same way all their manual focus cameras and lenses became so much scrap metal and plastic when the A series was discontinued in favour of the F series. Take heart though, Pentax is no a trend setter in this regard. The other major makers have already indicated they will be getting out of film SLR's very soon as well. William Robb

Re: Pentax plans to focus on digital
Hi Bruce I have thought of getting out of Pentax anyway for many reasons (lack of AF teleconverters, etc.) anyway, but this may be the straw that breaks the mule's back. No doubt I will be adding or switching to digital in the future, but Pentax is always slow to the market. Their current digital line-up (SLR based) is composed of an *istD and a single lone DA lens (with a 14mm to come out soon). Anyway, with Canon or Nikon, there are plenty of EOS 1n's, 3's, 1V's, F5's, F100's kicking around (used new), and Canon just released an Elan 7n/ne. So if my MZ-S broke, can I buy another one? They are very scarce on the used market. Moreoever, Canon/Nikon have a good solid DSLR system (keep in mind system) on the market, so to me this is a no brainer. Anyway, Pentax may release a more high-end DSLR and new lenses soon, but I'm not going to hang my hat on it right now. We'll have to see. I still love using film for many reasons. Though my website is not up yet, I will be selling wildlife/nature/landscape art cards, posters and prints ( sizes bigger than 16x20; yes 35mm can still hold at this magnification), and I love the look of film for this application. I also get all my work scanned on a production drum scanner (not a Flextight, but a Heidelberg, oil all. National Geographic hasn't switched over to digital yet, though some features have been done (e.g. Jim Brandenberg's article; I didn't like the look of it even though be used a D100 there we some complain letters too regarding the image quality not being up to par). Anyway, just my point of view. For others this may not be a big deal.

Re: Pentax plans to focus on digital
All Pentax lenses from the introduction of the K-mount work quite well on the *ist D. So in fact, you have a broader choice of glass than you have with any digital camera -- at a much lower price. You will stop loving film once yøu start shooting digital. Trust me. It happens.

Re: Pentax plans to focus on digital
it takes longer for some people to realize that. FWIW, i haven't found any formal announcement from Pentax supporting the article quoted in DPreview though. OTOH, it's pretty obvious that it has to happen sooner rather than later for the mass market camera manufacturers. cachet collectors brands might be able to continue to sell enough film cameras, but even there, they are going to have to struggle. looking over Leica's financials, it's not pretty.
