Not likely to work too well with a pol filter :-)

Hey Keith - I did that once and didn't even have a scratch, so it's no big

When I was a kid we used to slap mud on a wound and wrap it with a stinging 
nettle leaf, we were that tough...
Before I forget the originator of this thread - best wishes for a speedy

probably not be a pretty sight for weeks!

I could scan 6x12 in two sections in my film scanner, but 6x17cm is  
theoretically a couple of millimetres too long to fit into the holder  
(power tools aside).  OTOH I do not like the idea of stitching two  
900Mb files.

My Agfa Arcus 1200 would scan them easily - 4 or 5 at once even - but  
it's only 1200ppi and would have to scan through a glass plate as its  
basically a flatbed with a light source in the lid.  Newton rings and  
dust would both be problematic.

I'm quite pleased that my "good" film scanner includes the ability to  
scan the central strip of a 6x9 frame at its full optical resolution,  
so it can handle my hack-job 35mm panoramas at full res in a single  
pass.  I really need to fit my viewfinder mask into the 6x7 and go  
shooting pans again.

Re: Stuck Filter

[Brendan MacRae]

Doug,

I'm kinda suprised by a lot of the advice you been
given so far. The old trick I've used in the past has
always worked: thread a couple more filters onto the
stuck filter and tighten them slightly. Then you've
got better leverage to get the stuck one off and they
usually all come off together.

I would try this first before anything.

Yeah, I had seen that earlier on the list but I'm

However, since the "article" is really just a glorifed

POP Photo has been wrong before (major

Re: OT: XP question - dudes, i got my dell

[P. J. Alling]

The OEM CD used to be the OS from Microsoft, there was very little trial 
software, sometimes things like the original beta version of MS Money.  
The other crap is often bulk filler supplied by the Manufacture, to 
punch up it's supplied software list.  A company I worked for bought all 
it's programming work stations from Gateway, we got two CD's one of 
Micosoft's NT OS and one of the Gateway "enhancements".  The frist thing 
we did when we got them was to take the OEM copy of the OS, (WinNT in 
this case),  Format the Hard drive and install a clean version from the 
included MS installation CD.  Then add drivers for the specific 
additional hardware, network cards, high res video cards etc.   Once 
this was done you had a pretty clean install.  The manufactures don't 
supply those Microsoft OEM CDs anymore.  You didn't want most of the 
crap on the other CD, now you get neither.

Re: A nice K10D feature

Not quite what I was suggesting, I simply often don't need to shoot
three frames when I bracket, 0 and one under or 0 and one over, the
third frame is generally a waste of card space.

Me too. With both transparencies and digital, the exposures I choose 
between are either 0 or slightly underexposed. I've never selected the 
slightly overexposed image, but it's always there anyway.

A precision reloadable 110 cassette would be interesting. Maybe made from
machined brass using the plastic one as a pattern. And a gizmo to punch
perforations at the right spacing along non-perfed film and cut the strips
to length. Supply of backing paper

I have one remaining roll of 110 Verichrome Pan; used to soup this in
Perceptol 1:3, and with care and some spotting it made surprisingly good
8x10 prints. I still have my 30mm Minolta enlarging lens, but I suppose
these days the trick would be to scan it.

Re: Nov. Pop Photo and the K10D

[Jack Davis]

According to the manual, downloaded today, it requires either an
AF-360FGZ or AF-540FGZ (a combination of two of either or one of each)
to effect wireless P-TTL operation. One flash must be attached to the
camera hot shoe. The pop-up flash would not be involved. 
If it turns out that the article is right, I'd be glad.
The Pop Photo article, I gather, has it wrong.

That's cool, but I really wish some manufacturer would have the
courage to offer the option of a two frame bracket too, I'd use that a
lot. IE on the money and X under or X over not both.

See the belt wrench in the image below, that's all I've ever needed to
remove the most stubborn filter. I bought if from Micro-tools some
time ago but I don't know if this particular one is sold any longer,
it has "Newline" on the handle, I've also seen them as sold as jar
openers for arthritis sufferers.

Re: Stuck Filter

[Bob Sullivan]

With heating/cooling, I would think you want to warm the lens bezel
and cool the filter ring.  Bezel gets bigger, filter ring shrinks...
worked on those old metal drinking glasses we had as kids.

Stuck Filter

[Joseph Tainter]

I can't offer advice beyond what you've gotten. I'll just add that for 
some reason the combination of my DA 14 and B&W polarizer tend to bind. 
I now carry a filter remover, and try to remember not to tighten the 
filter in. Bit of a nuisance.

The B&W's are brass and aren't supposed to do this. I don't have the 
problem with any other lens/filter combination.

RE: Stuck Filter

[Don Sanderson]

Hi Doug, anything you use to grip it will bend the ring a bit
out of round, jamming it in place.
Try laying it face down on a thin piece of rubber. Gently hold
the piece that isn't supposed to turn and twist.
I just lay stubborn ones face down on the palm of my hand and turn,
almost always works.

Good Luck

alternating with touching part of the ring with an ice cube and keep

At US$ 2000 I might be able to find a way to afford it.  At US$ 2800 it
ain't gonna happen unless someone starts paying me to shoot.  Maybe if

RE: OT: XP question - dudes, i got my dell

[Lou Billing]

I found this little script on the Dell forums:

http://www.yorkspace.com/pc-de-crapifier

Written specifically to remove Dell bloatware, but works on any brand
computer with any of the listed programs pre-installed. I ran it on mine and
it worked as advertised.

Stuck Filter

[Doug Franklin]

Hi guys,

Well, I'm in quite a quandry now.  I've got a polarizing filter stuck on
the front of one of my lenses, as I discovered the other day.  Trying to
remove it by hand was a complete non-starter for me and several other
people who tried.  When I got home, I tried a strap wrench, and that
"worked".  That is, it was able to get enough grip on the filter to try
to turn it.  The reason for the quotation marks is that the filter
didn't let go, something threaded underneath the focus ring started
unscrewing!  So I'm thinking I've got two choices at this point, (1) I
could try to figure out how to break the glass out of the filter so I
can deform the rings enough to pull them out without damaging the
threads on the lens, and maybe still have to (2) send it to the repair
center.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
DougF (KG4LMZ)

Reloadable 110 Cartridges

[John Celio]

Has anyone ever heard of reloadable 110 film cartridges?  I'm having trouble 
disassembling my one regular 110 cartridge, and would gladly pay extra for 
something that's made to be reloadable.  Now that I've got all this free 
time on my hands, I want to spend at least some of it playing with the 
camera gear I've collected and not used over the years.

Re: What's an LX worth?

[J and K Messervy]

I've started my auction at AUD375.  The camera's only flaw is the glass in 
the viewfinder eyepiece is loose.  It doesn't affect the operation in any 
way, so I've not bothered fixing it.

I haven't had the body serviced but there is not sign of sticky mirror and 
the 6 or so rolls I've put through it have been great.  It is genuinely in 
excellent condition and working perfectly.

There is a blurb inside about the wireless function of

Alan,

I was wondering about your film, what are the expiration dates?

Are you willing to sell the b&w separately?

If we could get the price down, I might be interested in it all.

RE: What's an LX worth?

[Don Sanderson]

See??
This is why people should _use_ a lens, look at the results, and then decide
whether _they_ like it or not.
All reputation aside, I like the Tak Bayonet 135/2.5 very much for tight
portraits.
The wide open 'softness' is perfect for this.
I definitely won't let it get the sun in its eye though, it flares, a _lot_.
That's when the SMCP 135/2.5 gets the job. ;-)

Don (Who also thinks the Takumar-F 70-210 is pretty darn nice.)

FS: Several Pentax items

[Jaume Lahuerta]

Almost Friday in Spain so, here we go.

I have several equipment that I never use lately, so I
am thinking on selling it if I have reasonable offers.
I would like to offer it first here since this has
been my primary source of equipment for years.

If someone is interested in any of them, please write
me offlist and we can talk about it. I'll give you
more details and, of couse, I'll send you recent
pictures (I still haven't made them actually...).

Pentax A 24 f2.8: very good condition. Some say that
it is even better than the FA for digital. The A
setting allows for full exposure modes on DSLRs.

Pentax FA 28-105 3.2-4.5 AL: the perfect travel lens,
at leas for 35mm. Lightweight and good performer. This
unit is in very good condition. Always wearing a
filter.

Original Pentax LX ever-ready case. Not long ago
someone here was selling a similar unit on ebay.
Externally with almost any mark, internally, the
unavoidable marks of having been used.

Pentax MZ-5n + FA 28-70 f4 AL: te lens is in bargain
condition, although works fine, so maybe it is a
better idea to sell it as a kit. The body is in very
goos condition. I also have the battery pack Fg and
cable switch F to include in the pack.

Thanks,
Jaume

Re: Need some help with lens reasembly...

[Bob Sullivan]

Matt,

See this diagram that I have crudely drawn.

http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/LensRepair/photo#4982517534313021458

It concerns some of the small parts you highlighted in your 2nd picture.

The little curved cap is an electrical contact for the "A" setting on the lens.
When "A" is set, this little cap sticks up out of the small hole in
your mounting flange.  You can see it at about 8:30 on the silver
flange in your picture.

To drive the little cap up, it is spring loaded.  To keep it from
flying out, it is caged by the L-bracket in my diagram.  The groves in
the cap go into the slot in the L-bracket.  The whole thing rests in a
spot on the lens body (8:30 again?)

The button at the bottom of the L-bracket rides in a broad grove on
the inside of the aperture selection ring.  Most of the time you have
selected f4 thru f22 and the button holds the bracket, which holds the
spring loaded cap down and away from electrical contact with the
camera body.

When you select "A", the aperture selection ring moves over just a bit
further to where the grove is wider and the cap is allowed to pop up.
To get over to the "A" selection, you've got to press in the "A"
button and twist the ring.  The "A" mechanism is locked IN or locked
OUT by two leaf springs which prevent you from accidentially twisting
into "A" when you wanted f22.

You seem to have a good handle on the little ball bearing and spring
which you haven't shown.  They go in a radial hole in the lens body
under the aperture selection ring and make a click as you twist the
ring.

The last tiny bit you have there is unknown to me,  I suspect it is
something to make electrical contact within the lens - from the cap or
L-bracket to elsewhere.

Getting the spring loaded ball bearing, L-bracket with spring loaded
cap, and the other bil all aligned and working under the aperture
selection ring is a challenge.

Regards,  Bob S.

Re: Rechargeable Bats for the istDS

[Brian Dunn]

We've tried some NiMH with the DS, but found that they can cause sporatic 
momentary hesitation under heavy use such as full speed continuous shooting 
with autofocus engaged on a big lens.  They recover almost immediately 
though, and are also used in our flash units, changed out several times 
during a wedding.

We are currently using some rechargable CRV3 batteries, recently discontinued 
from the "radio place" national retailer.  2 in 10 were dead right out of the 
packaging, but the other 8 are doing a great job as main and backup sets of 
batteries for two DS units.  Some of these were purchased at the "70% off" 
prices at a place which was being shut down, and others at a discontinuation 
discount price.  We do not use the on-camera flash, which supposedly might be 
damaged by the higher voltages in the R-CRV3 batteries.  One set per camera 
lasts a full gig of 800 photos each, with another set plus some regular AA 
lithiums plus the original CR-V3s which came with the cameras as backups.

If we did not use the cameras so heavily then we would just use AA lithiums.  
The rechargables have paid for themselves, though, at the rate we use them.

Re: Pentax D FA* 400/4 ED IF

[Adam Maas]

It's pretty simple, the only difference would be in the mount, as the 
optical design is driven by the max aperture and required resolution. 
And since the mount is essentially the same, why not make it full-frame? 
There's a number of cases where such long lens designs were used for 
both MF and 35mm bodies with only a mount change.

Because it doesn't make much sense to make long telephoto lenses with

exactly equally large front element in both D FA* form and in DA* form.

Could you explain further?  I was wondering why the long lenses were D-FA
