PAW PESO - Engine 4712
Was toolin' along in my Rocket 88, when I saw, stopped on the tracks, Engine 4712. The engineer and the brakeman just stopped the train, shut it down, jumped off, and hit a local diner for a cuppa Joe and a sandwich. It sure was strange to see that big engine sittin' there, with no one in the driver's seat http://home.earthlink.net/~digisnaps/4712a.html Shel

Nice shot. You've got what looks like multiple-exposure on one axis that describes the motion of bowing a violin (a start-stop motion) and a standard motion blue on another axis, and you've got points of interest at opposing corners with little between. The dark shirt provides the middle void but is still a complete image. A pleasing unbalanced framing, but the cropping is a bit too uniform. My only other critique would be that the face is blurred but not enough to really imply motion like the rest of the image. Amy

Anyone on the list, or anyone in general? lol... The funny thing is that this is a photography town in a big way. "Idaho Camera" has 5 stores in a town of only 60k people they are full service stores with professional gear. One even carries Hasselblad, Mamiya, and, yes even Pentax mdeium format cameras in stock. The #1 selling camera brand in Boise? Pentax! We may not do much in Boise, but we're doing our best to keep Pentax alive.

Re: When good photographers do bad things
OK, here some comments from the Cave (quite a few, I don't want to have to explain to cavewoman why I keep looking at naked pics instead of eating the turkey). http://www.komkon.org/~wrobb/pages/_IGP5386.html For this to be successful, you need near perfect symmetry, I'd say that you composed/framed quite negligently (yes I know it was digital, it's so easy to press the button without double-checking everything). http://www.komkon.org/~wrobb/pages/_IGP5595.html This would work great with some Cavo-filter, like pencil hatches. Would piss off Cotty to death. But I can definitely see that you're on to something promising ;-) http://www.komkon.org/~wrobb/pages/_igp5402.html Now here you nearly got something interesting with that background. Unfortunately you were too lazy to crouch and took the shots from your full body height (subsequent pics are even worse). http://www.komkon.org/~wrobb/pages/_igp5905.html I like that hat. Maybe used in the previously commented pic ? http://www.komkon.org/~wrobb/pages/_igp5977.html Cave idea for that background: have the lady stand on top on rectangular thing, facing the wall. Frame to have just her legs on the support (50% legs 50% support) and the column at right. Nice play of vertical lines. Or even some wild diagonal. Will be back after the turkey. Cheers !

Happy Thanksgiving, Frank! I thought I'd be spending the day alone, but got a last-minute call to use my van to move an electric organ, and dinner was thrown in.

Then, as I was leaving, there were three deer in the driveway, having their dinner of barley that the host had put out for them. Yeah, we have suburban deer here! Took some more pictures, of course.

the latest ones seem pretty good, better than the Kenko or Tamron ones in Pentax mount anyway. they will work on MF lenses as they support AF by having a passthrough for the drive shaft used by Pentax AF lenses. as pointed out elsewhere, the frontmost element is very far forward and can interfere with some lenses' rear elements. i had the 1.4X and 2X and neither of them would work on my FA* 80-200/2.8.

I have a true story along those lines. A few years ago I was in a shop which purported to sell pre-Columbian pottery and little statuettes from Central America. I was rather interested in buying some, but they seemed unfeasibly cheap. Still, they were clearly labelled as 'pre-Columbian', so I asked the owner about it. "Are you really sure these are pre-Columbian?", I asked. "Oh, certainly", she said. "Perhaps you could explain these markings on the base". I handed her the statuette and showed her the words "Made in Mexico". -- Cheers, Bob

Re: Sigma AF 1.4X worth considering?
It is good as extenders go, but only compatible with a few lenses. If the lens you are thinking of has its rear element right at the back at any point during focusing or zooming, it will clash with the front element of the extender. It is not compatible, for example, with my FA 50 f1.7 or FA 77. Joe
TTL on ZX-50 (MZ-50)
Hi everybody, This is my first e-mail to the list. So I am a Pentax user since my dad, more than 20 years ago, put a SP500 in my hands. I shoot my first roll of B&W in the Zoo of Buenos Aires and that afternoon he taught me how to develop and print my pictures at home. Now, a bit more advanced I come here asking for the following info: I am looking for the technical specs ( an possibly circuit diagram) of the TTL system of the ZX-50 a.k.a. MZ-50. I would like to know the communication signals between the camera and the dedicated strobe (which contact does what, what are the pulses, voltages, etc). I want to modify an underwater strobe to communicate with my ZX-50 and thus have TTL capabilities underwater. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Regards, -- Emiliano M.
