Re: KA mount Carl Zeiss Jena lenses

[Derby Chang]

They were made by Sigma. They had an agreement with the East German Carl 
Zeiss in the eighties, and made some lenses for them, 3 or 4 zooms and 
the 24 mm. you mention.
Sigma and MInolta also made some zoom lenses for Leitz, in the R (SLR) 
mount, sold under the Leica name, with Leica prices.

Carlos
Hmm..that's interesting. It _does_ look like a Sigma lens of that 
vintage. Not a great advertisement for Zeiss. But it was my first WA, 
and I've done a few interesting shots with it.

Thanks

My usual practice would be unplug the current card and just install the new 
card w/o
uninstall the current video card software. XP should be able to make the proper
adjustment automatically. When everything works fine, then you can uninstall 
the old
software if required.

They are allowed to shoot a fox and drag it through the countryside to
lay a trail for the pack to follow.

As far as I know, they can also go for a ride in the country with all
their hounds, but if they see a fox the hounds are to respect the law
and exercise restraint.

The law seems to be very badly drafted, and practically
unenforceable. Some hunts have said they will break the law, and are
finding out how far they can go, and what they can get away with.

Re: Rebel XT

[Peter J. Alling]

Large buffer for fast shooting, 8mp to make somewhat larger prints, 
(also allows for more cropping). Small size with a good grip, oh wait 
the *ist-Ds already has that.  The first two items.  On the other hand 
it's not enough better than the *ist-D or Ds to make it worth the hassle 
of changing systems if you already have Pentax lenses. From a new users 
standpoint there's nothing not to like, unless they actually look 
through the viewfinder and compare it to a Ds.

The *istDS manual doesn't seem to say too much about it, but what is the
maximum SD card that the DS supports? Is it FAT16 only? Not really an
issue, 4GB would be plenty for me anyhow.
 

The *ist-D supports FAT32, which is why you can use 4GB cards in it;
the FAT16 limit is 2GB.
Another thing not to like about the canon; the 1.8" rear LCD screen,
with even less pixels than the 300D.

Re: PESO - On a Limb

[Shel Belinkoff]

Hi Bruce 

Well, it's an OK pic, nothing particularly special about it.  For these old
eyes it has a lot of flaws.  While the background is nice and soft, showing
fine bokeh, the background colors seem to "fight" the detail and subtlety
found in the branch.  The brightest parts of the branch, the tips, look
burnt out to me, and the shadows, the underside of the branch, seem too
bright.  I'd like to see this whole print a little darker, maybe brought
down in the editing software or perhaps  with a little less exposure.  If
just the brightest part of the background were brought down, there might be
a strong improvement.

I'm not sure about the crop. On the one hand having the space between the
lowest branch tip and the bottom of the frame works fairly well, I keep
thinking that by cropping the bottom of the frame to just about meet the
branch tip you'd have a stronger graphic.  Take a look at it in a 5x7
format and see what you think.

I don't know a lot about cats and breeding (or humans and breeding,
now that I think about it ), but I once owned a purebred cat:  a
Devon Rex.  Coolest cat I've ever owned.  They have somewhat curly
fur, and since they have almost dander, they're good for those who are
allergic (which my ex is - to EVERYTHING in the world, as it turns
out):

http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/devon.html

More personality in it's tail than most have at all, and ~great~
jumpers.  They look pretty weird, though...

Anyway, enough about cats.  The first pic was indeed a lovely cat portrait.

frank

A rather cool idea.  Sort of a variation of reflections.  You have to
be looking and focusing a bit different to notice them.  This does
look very much like a tree rather than a shadow.  I wish the contrast
wasn't so high to see a bit more detail in the lower part of the

Hey Butch!

And to everyone else who asked - we don't leave for our ride until June.  We
are busily training and fundraising right now.  We just got sponsored for a
$25k website!  Woohoo!!  It should be up in a week or two and then you'll
all be able to give us an online donation! hehe.

Seriously though, it is alot of hard work, organising sponsors and media and
press appearances etc, but I'm getting there!  We will be shooting some
photos of us for our website soon, so I'll have to post some and you can see
us wearing all of our sponsors gear!

Thanks for asking guys, and I'll be sure to keep you posted!

The Sigma 24/2.8 (MF) that I had indeed had very good optics (crispier than the
FA*24/2). I don't remember its wide open performance however.

Tis true, but after ruining all my clothes, my face, and my camera I count 
my self lucky to escape with no more than my shoes soiled.

One lovely evening not too long ago I was wandering around taking photos of 
this and that when I happened upon a pretty little pond out in the middle 
of a field. The reflections were soo nice, the lighting was soo nice, every 
thing was nice...

I plunked my self down on (what I thought was) the grass, plunked my camera 
down on the grass, and smeared my face on the ground trying to look through 
the viewfinder.
There was about three second before it hit, but when it did the smell was 
like a salvo from an above-average battery of forty-two pounders.

I ran, but it made chase. As soon as I settled down (thinking that I had 
escaped) and put eye to viewfinder I was once more assaulted by that 
characteristic stench. This time instead of fleeing I looked around hoping 
to engage my opponent and be rid of it, and "what to my wondering eye 
should appear" but excreta of Branta Canadensis smeared lavishly over my 
arms, legs, torso, nose, right ear AND all over my beautiful new K 200mm 
f2.5. I spent the rest of the day trying to rid myself of it.

I am still vehemently opposed to shooting them (or anything else) and would 
happily donate a black eye to any one who did such a thing.

Re: Rebel XT

It's small, it's light, it's cheap;  It's technically very capable
(8MP, 3fps, 14(JPEG)-shot buffer, RAW+JPEG, optional grip). I'd
need to get one in my hands to see how it feels, and to see if the
control layout works for me (I prefer the D to the simplified DS,
so I suspect I'd like the extra dedicated buttons on the 350/XT).

It's the 800-lb gorilla in the corner, when it comes to DSLR sales.
It's taken away much of the clear superiority of the *ist-DS, which
is going to make it harder for Pentax to gain any market share.

As Michael complained that it got tedious having to click
through the steps for each individual image, I suspect he
already knows how to do that.

What he wants is a way to do it, in bulk, without all the
clicks.  It's not possible to change those fields for a
group of images at once (by multi-selecting before left-

Coming from you Bob, that is a real compliment - thank you very much.

I have friends who hunt, and I live in the country so (for example) my
neighbour across the lane has been a real country bumpkin all his life
(he is a retired pest controller). He has taught me a lot that I didn't
know about the country -  including exactly what goes on WRT animals and
hunting. I can see both sides of the coin, but I am also an omnivore and
(for example) I enjoy (say) boning a rabbit for the hot pot, or gutting a
fish for dinner. As I understand it, if fox numbers are not controlled,
they will proliferate and sheep farmers will act accordingly. They will
not be so kind as to ensure a quick death - anyone who has seen animal
traps will know how it goes. It is not pleasant. Nor is poison. However,
this will happen. I know a sheep farmer in the village and he is already
wondering if and when he needs to take action before next winter.

I see no easy solution, but often the status quo, providing it has worked
effectively, is often the best way to go. My problem with any kind of
hunting is - where does one draw the line? Is fishing next?

Note to PDML - Please - these are rhetorical questions and do not need
answering - my last intention is for animosity here - as I say, I merely
took some pics that I thought might be of interest generally. I am
neither pro hunting, nor anti. Being in the media, I have encountered
(sometimes very) outspoken views from both sides, and I really do
sympathise with both sides. At the end of the day, as human masters of
this planet, we must all try and co-exist peacefully, otherwise it all
turns into a right jolly cock-up

You know you're toast when every time you stop at a camera shop
you quickly paw through every used Pentax lens they have to find
that hidden gem, that rough diamond which is perfect optically,
rare and cheap. Sigh.

Anyway, while there I spied the Pentax MZ-S on the shelf and
asked to see it. Now why did I never notice this camera when I
was still shooting film? What a beauty! Nicely balanced,
wonderful feel, etc etc. It must have come out right when I was
moving to all-digital cameras, truly poor timing.

No, I am not buying one. But they still have that Pentax-A 24mm
f/2.8 with the perfect glass on the shelf... ;-)

That's the basic generic "brown tabby" - the default shape and
colouring for cats before breeders start selecting variations.

Many of the wild breeds (Norwegian Forest Cat, Scottish Wildcat)
look just like that (though it's a bad idea to try to stroke them)

Timur is a wonderful example of how the tabby stripes can break up
into spots; I've got one of those in my current batch of fosters.
We call her the Ocelittle (she's too small to be an Ocelot).

The *ist-D supports FAT32, which is why you can use 4GB cards in it;
the FAT16 limit is 2GB.

CF more common in DSLRs than SD is.

Subject: Was KA mount Carl Zeiss Jena lenses, now Leica lenses from Japan


I have a Leica-R zoom made by Sigma, and a fisheye by Sigma.  I don't know 
of any Leica reflex lenses manufactured by Cosina.

Sigma and MInolta also made some
zoom lenses for Leitz, in the R (SLR) mount, sold under the Leica
name, with Leica prices.

I believe they also made the 24mm for Leitz (later incarnation), I'm
surprised at the comment on the Carl Zeiss lens performance, the Sigma 
was
generally regarded as very good, even scored 4 at photodo, which is
remarkable for a 24mm w/a.

A view to a Croatian coastline from the village of Tucepi. I spent a
wonderful week there last year (mostly biking and shooting).
