RE: New High End DSLR Speculation
It is perhaps true, that more wxposure reduces the noice - I never thought of that - didn't know. Speaking of which, makes mem remamber, that I made a flash shot last week - by mistake at 3200 ASA - I had forgotten to reset the ISO. I was actually surpprised, that the noise wasn't all that bad. Take a look - these are heavyly croped -the biggest is about 50% of the frame. I have added a little blur, in order to be kind to the subject ;-) I's difficult to actially see this is ISO 3200, right: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/99338192/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/99338273/in/photostream/ Overexposing in order to reduce noise, will still require even longer speeds, thus more ISO! I will try to do this next time I need a lot of speed. Thanks for the advice. But I frequently have to use Neat Image to try to restore photographs made at ISO 3200. I would like not to have to. I still want lower noice from the next generation of Petntax DSLR's - which was what we were originally discussing. I use film too - most often for 6x6 shots, but never faster tnan ISO 400. I did som comcert shots somtime ago. Using Fuji Superia 1600 ASA film - brilliant film - but still a little noicy, but in fact less noisy than the PRO Fuji 800: http://gallery68719.fotopic.net/p4796505.html Shot with MZ-S or Super A using Fuji Superia 1600 ASA.

RE: New High End DSLR Speculation
Yeah, I agree, Godfrey. You are right about the exposure too. I just checked the EXIF. They are not spot on. Some are over exposed +0.70, compensating for the backlit scenery. That's OK. But others are under exposed by -0.3 (the ones with two kids). This is obvioulsy a mistake - I probably have attemptet to set it back in neutral, but I over did it :-(. Since they ar e all shot with an M lens (4/75-150mm), metering is not too accurate - since i must press the green button every now and then. So, I am looking foreward to recieving my A 3.5/35-105mm wich would have been much better for shots like these. BTW: I have shot RAW exclusivly, for the last year or so.

Jay, from the posted image your combo sure looks like it's capable. The image itself suffers from several issues - You cut off the birds legs, foreground clutter being distracted in Seattle. Kenneth Waller - Original Message - From: Jay Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Intro to Wildlife Shooting Having a recent interest in wildlife subjects, I decided to pick up a telephoto lens for my DSLR. I found a pretty nice copy of the discontinued Tokina AT-X 400mm F5.6 on eBay. The lens is surprisingly lightweight and is pretty easily handheld for the most part. This image is one of the first ones taken with it and is my first shot of the Great Blue Heron. Feedback appreciated. Thanks for looking.

scratches on lenses
Every so often I see a claim in a lens description: These scratches don't affect the quality of your photo. What does one think when writing this type of statement? That you don't see the scratch on the photos? Even if a half of the lens area is covered by scratches you might not see the scratches on the photo.. Well, this is a somewhat rhetorical question: How do you know that the scratches don't affect the quality of your photo?! Personally, I would say that all scratches that are within the entire beam diameter used in imaging DO affect the quality of photos. So, the meaningful interpretation of the original statement would be: I didn't have the way of knowing any better image quality. Would you agree? Igor
Re: Toronto sunset
Cropping on the right would definitely help this image. I would crop out the space immediately to the right of the benches. The lines (of the horizon, shore line benches tree tops) converging on the boat are the strongest aspect of this image. I would also crop out the topmost part of the sky just above the treetops.

I then went and removed the pole and sign just to see how difficult it would be. The pole and the sign are quite noticeable to me. If you'd like a copy of what I did so you can see for yourself, just say the word. The removal technique was quite simple, mostly using the clone stamp, although with a few extra fillips to make the removal more precise as I can be rather clumsy sometimes if I'm not careful. Why didn't you want to remove it completely? Shel I can't see the pole at all in the second shot looking at it on the web. ... but I like the red sign, the red in the stop sign, the restaurant sign, the guy's pants, etc... so the top of the sign I wouldn't want removed. There is a little pattern of color there of red's and yellows I like. I tried to make it just look like there was snow clinging to the pole. I would never completely remove something that was actually there all the time.. on principle. For me, I was just using the shot to say Hey guys, look at all that snow in my 'hood! - and look at that jerk riding a bicycle in it. I saw the guy on the bike just a couple of secs before I snapped... the woman wasn't part of the plan - but when I saw it I liked the relationship of forms. although I did hold the camera up to my face, I couldnt see what I was doing through the view finder and I had an armful of groceries... Anyway, Where is Doug :) Haven't had a chance to review anything else I took, really - I have one I took from my window but I'm not pleased with it. But the point is, if it is a street shot, I'm not going to mess with it in that fashion in photoshop - I don't care if you want to show us or me what you did to get rid of the pole totally - but I didn't _not_ do it because I didn't know how. ann [Original Message] From: Ann Sanfedele [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Date: 2/13/2006 12:49:38 PM Subject: Re: PESO: around the corner (revised for doug:) ) Shel Belinkoff wrote: Not really ...

Re: Pentax Has Finally Admitted...
It's one of my favorite features of the Canon EOS lenses with USM mount ... they call it full time manual focus. No need to click the AF/MF switch in one shot AF mode at all. It is by far and away the feature I missed the most when I contemplate my switch from Canon to Pentax. I'll embrace it when I finally take the plunge, sounds like a really useful feature.

OT projector lens questions
Hi, Folks, I'm doing some research on projector brightness. Not slide projectors, rather projectors for vitual reality applications, but the questions I have are relevant to both types. They probably sound pretty basic but anyway please bear with me: 1. Does a projector lens with longer focal length give a larger image or smaller, if the projector to screen distance remains the same and assume both are able to focus on the screen at that distance? My guess is wide angle lens gives a larger image since a wide angle lens on a camera has a wider angle of view. But I've learned not to use deduction too liberally:-) 2. If two lenses of different focus length have the same working aperture, do the images they generate have the same brightness on an identical screen at the same distance? If so, then the lens that generates the larger image passes more light since brightness is amount of light on unit area, right? Now this gets me confused assuming my guess to the first question is correct, as for example, a 20mm/2 lens has a theoretical aperture size of 10mm, and a 40mm/2 lens has a theoretical aperture size of 20mm, and the 20mm lens actually passes more light??? 3. What I really should ask is that, there is a projector with a lens that's f=20.0mm/2.0 to 40.0mm/2.8, and I'd like to know, does the image brightness stay the same when I change the focal length from 20mm to 40mm and keep the screen at the same place? Obviously the image size will change so light spreads out more in one case but does the different aperture cancel that out? Thanks in advance! Yefei
