RE: SDHC cards

[Markus Maurer]

Hi William
I use a "normal" 4GB SDHC sandisk card with the K10D and it is slower than
the 2GB sandisk ultra but works fine.
Greetings

I am wondering if anyone has used the 4 gb Sandisk ExtremeIII SDHC card in 
their K10 (firmware 1.10)?
If so, what's it like?

Thanks

Re: Yet another observation about SD cards

[Boris Liberman]

Thibouille, I realize that (Roman) numbers II and III are not the only
numbers there are ;-).

Yes, I have read about SD Extreme IV CF cards. We will see what kind
of surprises SD format has up its sleeve.

Re: Raw or Raw+Jpeg? What to do with Jpeg files ?

[Boris Liberman]

Here are my answers, according to my taste.

Since I am rarely asked to make prints straight from the camera and
since I consider the JPG files to be waste of space, I shoot only RAW
(DNG). If necessary, say if asked, I can very quickly produce JPGs in
camera by in-camera RAW processing.

I tend not to store JPGs in the LR library except the following two cases:
1. The large JPG files that were actually prepared for print *and* printed.
2. The small JPG files that were actually prepared for web. These I
use for publishing on the web of course and for creating collections
that I later turn to web galleries.

Hope you're at least partially found now ;-).

Cheers.

Right..  I have been staring at my 2 lenses from the outside (no

Re: PESO: Reflecting...

Fair call.

It was tricky trying to frame & expose so that there wasn't too much
encroaching into the frame & that the people behind the glass weren't
visible.

I need to practice shooting this sort of stuff more often.

Thanks for looking.

Re: Peso: A wee little dog

[Bob Sullivan]

Christian,
As I type this, my son and daughter-in-law's Golden Retreiver is
sitting next to me.  (We're baby sitting the 'grand-dog'.)  It is big
enough to be a pony (weighs 130 pounds), but has a sweet disposition -
loves everybody.  It growled at the racoon on the back deck this
morning - while wagging it's tail.  I'd be surprised if the Ex can
ruin the Golden.

Re: OT: Takumar vs. Powerbook, round one.

[Russell Kerstetter]

from my experience, I would  say to not worry about your HD.  I was
carrying the wife's iBook up stairs when I fell and used the iBook to
break my fall :(.  I  hit so hard that the whole thing bent, the HD
bent as well (shattering the insides) and I even had one IC that
popped apart.  All that to say... laptop HD's are pretty tough...

oh yeah, and good luck, if you alread haven't checked eekbay, you
might, there are lots of people like me that trash a laptop then sell

Buy it in the UK - it will only be a high-end four figure sum.

Re: Outdoor Photographer magazine resorting to dirty tricks

[Nick Wright]

Last year Outdoor Photographer was advertising two free issues with
absolutely no obligation. After you got your two free issues, you
could decide whether you wanted to get a subscription or not.

Well, needless to say that before I even got my first free issue I
started getting letters in the mail demanding payment for my
"subscription." I emailed them and they assured me that I could wait
till after I got my two free issues.

But at some point (before getting the second issue) I started getting
"late notices." At which point I either called or emailed and (not so
politely) told them where they could put their late notices.

So, disappointingly, I think that OP has been about the guerilla
marketing for a bit now.

Not only that; many of these sort of organisations are good at jumping the gun

Thanks Markus. I'm pretty sure the SDHC ExtremeIII runs as fast as the

Right now I am using UltraII cards, which read/write half as fast as 
ExtremeIII cards, and mostly they are fast enough, sometimes not though.

Paul,

I've now read many dozens of replies in this thread, and really, I can
add nothing to this matter other than to send my best wishes to your
grandaughter (for it's her welfare that is everyone's primary
concern), your daughter and you and your family.

One thing I will caution you about is listening to legal advice from
non-lawyers (including this list).  Without comment, I'll say that
I've seen much in the way of inaccuracy and wrong information on this
list, well intentioned though it might be.   You'll be paying plenty
to your lawyer - listen to her.

Best of luck, and I'll be sending good thoughts Grace's way!

Re: Raw or Raw+Jpeg? What to do with Jpeg files ?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I have my K10D set to produce RAW files only. Occasionally, I press  
the RAW button if I know I'm going to need a JPEG immediately (and  
take the time to set up a better white balance, etc). Otherwise, if I  
need one, I process a RAW into a JPEG in-camera.

If you have both RAW and JPEG files with matching metadata in the  
same directory, Lightroom will ignore the JPEG files when importing  
and only import the RAW files. If you have the RAW files, there is no  
need for the JPEG renderings.

If you want both in your library, segregate them into separate  
directories and Lightroom will import both.

My expererience: K10D AF and handling with grip

[Thibouille]

This weekend I was at sea with a couple of my wife colleagues (is that
an English word?) and got the possibility to shot family-like shots as
well as a couple birds.

1/ When shooting family-like shots (very unimpressive btw, just for
fun) I was asked to let them see the shots of course and notice that
in this very situation, the shutter trigger from the grip is sometimes
in the way which cancels the reviewing of images. Annoying of course
but nothing really bad.
However, contrary to my D+grip, I never touched the trigger in
shooting situation.
Never had a suspicious low battery alert like with the D (normal, no NIMH here).

2/ When shooting birds with my DA 50-200 (I don't have AF 300mm or
anything like that, unfortunately) I quickly found out that the AF is
way more accurate and faster than with my D. Birds are moving
(really?) but this movement was enough to make the D very confused.
The K10D was perfect in any respect for this little exercise: fast and
precise AF and buffer/writing speed up to the task.


I think I wil be difficult to regret buying the K10D.

Re: Raw or Raw+Jpeg? What to do with Jpeg files ?

[Thibouille]

Mmm the thing about metada there is quite interesting, Godfrey I
definitely need to try that to see if it suits me.

All very interesting. Thank you all.

Re: My expererience: K10D AF and handling with grip

[Thibouille]

I shot in AF-C and continuous drive mode, fairly certain but I will
check for you.

I often use continuous drive mode because often people do move a bit
(like eyes etc) so if I take 3, there's a good probability one of the
three will be OK. But then you have to put quite a bit to trash and it
eats tour memory card.

I'm not good enough to most of the time to have good photos with people.

Re: OT: Wish Me Luck

No real news. The first hearing was just to see if my daughter was  
going to appear and to tell her not to leave the jurisdiction until  
the case is settled. Our lawyer asked for a dismissal, but the judge  
wants to hold the evidentiary hearing before ruling on that. It will  
probably happen in a few weeks.

Was that the first $6,000? I assume not. 
In this situation, having essentially the total legal gauntlet in front
of me certainly would add to my frustration. As the process goes

optimism.

Re: SDHC cards

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Until very recently, Sandisk only offered up to the Ultra II cards  
(66x) in 4Gbyte SDHC compatible format, where the faster Extreme III  
cards max'ed out at 2Gbyte. Now they are offering the Extreme III  
cards in this format. I have not seen any reviews of the Extreme III  
SDHC as yet, but I would expect that they meet the Extreme III  
performance specifications, which rates them at up to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  
Read/Write (133x).

Sounds like you bonked that drive hard. Good, fast 120G laptop drives  
for the PowerBook G4 systems are available for as little as $130 now,  
however, so I'd just replace it after verifying that the enclosure  
and hard drive adapter was in good condition.

(Hmm. I should do an upgrade too. The 80G drive in my PBG4 is nearly  
full... the 120Gs now available are faster too.)

If the scumbag can get legal aid, I don't see why Grace herself is not
entitled to it, being a Scot. It would be nice if there was some
mechanism in the system to accommodate this.

Hi William
It seems that I got influenced somehow by your lovely dog portraits because
2 days ago
I took this scene in the mail rail station of Zurich. But frankly I prefer
dogs in a natural environment...

PESO:botanical garden in Zurich

[Markus Maurer]

 
Hi Pentaxians

The Pentax A24mm works wonderfully on the K10D, it will be one of my most
used lenses.
Gladly the 52mm circular B+W pol filter does not vignette with it and I
fitted a vivtar wide metal 52mm hood with it.
I tested the Pentax M 200mm as well that day and sometimes had to press the
green button twice to not get overexposed photos in M mode,
I will soon show you some photos with these lenses.

One of the photos I took 3 days ago with the K10D and Pentax-F50mm was at
the botanical garden in Zurich:

A first sample with the A24mm in low light on the K10D handheld at F 2.8

Grace won't be the defendant. Presumably her mother will. If she's
still married to the father she may qualify - might be worth exploring
the citizenship question in any case.

So there I was, shopping cart loaded with a 645N and a couple of primes, credit 
card number keyed in, taking one more glance at everything just to make sure it 
was right.  All I had to do to take my first small step into Bill Robb's big 
world of enablement suckiness was to click the link that said "yer sleeping on

Then it happened.  My moment of clarity was rudely dismembered by a streak of

Re: SDHC cards

[Peter Fairweather]

This whole SDHC issue confuses me. At the moment I use a Transcend 2Gb
150x card on my DS. Although the camera doesn't use all the speed, the
card reader does when downloading. I am now thinking of moving to SDHC
and 4gb for when I get the K10d or start shooting more RAW. This is
the choice in the UK from a reputable dealer

Transcend Secure Digital/SD Card
4GB Card (150x)

Up to 13.4MB/sec. write rate.
 Up to 18.7MB/sec. read rate.

OR

Transcend High Capacity Secure Digital/SD Card (SDHC)
4GB Card (Class 6)

 Speed class 6 (>= 6MB/sec writing),

They are about the same price but the SDHC one appears to be a lot slower.

Is SDHC an engineering breakthrough or a marketing breakthrough
whereby slower cards with much higher profit margins can be sold to
the gullible punter?

One presumes they have a mailing address for her.
I once got a loan that was WAY bigger than I was entitled to given my income 
because the credit bureau confused me with a William Robb who was an upper

like this to see if your name pops up in a credit check.

You're right. The action is against my daughter. She is still   
married to the Scot, although my daughter's lawyer is filing for  
divorce as well as defending the custody action. I'll tell my

Re: Outdoor Photographer magazine resorting to dirty tricks

I give variations on my name when I subscribe to magazines, and I ask
them to not sell my name to mailing lists.  This does two things, it
lets me know if they are ignoring my request for privacy, and it gives
me peace of mind when I run into nasty ones like Outdoor Photographer.

Re: SDHC cards

[Thibouille]

Peter, class 6 means 6MB/s minimum.
There's no class faster than class6. An hypthetical card at 80MB/s
would still be labeled class6, as for current specifications.

It's a great action shot and I'm thinking you could probably have left 
more of the frame, it seems a bit tight.  It is soft overall and any 
sharpening is going to cause bad noise in the background.  Are you hand 
holding these shots?

You seem to be able to get close to these birds (and they are very 
pretty and photogenic) I'd suggest using a tripod to get better sharpness.

Thanks Bruce.

I have a Manfrotto 393 bracket on order (the poor mans wimberley :-)

Will try again later this week using that, and the A* 300mm f/2.8 + 1.7x 
converter.
Sofar that combo has deliverd some truly sharp images for me ...

Dad, Mom and three kids :-)

At one point I  heard loud splashing and dad showed up with this:

http://www.dfsee.com/gallery/index.php?id=213

It was fed to the hungriest  of the three kids, 
that had quite a problem dealing with it :-)

May  post some more of that series later ...

I think it lacks a bit of  sharpness myself, this is a 50% crop
shot with the FA 400mm. Maybe I need to  use the A* 300
for this stuff, it seems sharper ...

Comments  welcome!

Yes, it has some noise,  but it's still a cool shot. Good timing to grab it 
when it is grabbing a  fish.

Good idea. I'll keep that in mind.

Battery life on K10D

[Bruce Dayton]

Saturday I did some little league shooting and thought I would report
my findings.  I shot 1304 shots on one battery - all AF-C and very
little chimping.  The battery is a Lenmar 1500mah and the camera meter
still says full - don't know how used it is, but did just fine for
this shoot.  Never even got to my other two Pentax batteries.

Just FYI...

I meant to send it to you after you left it, I can't believe you travelled 
that far to recover it.

Re: About to buy a 645N.........

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Hey, are you trying to grab my shopping cart?  ;-)

Seriously ... I love working with the 645 but I still toss and turn  
over whether to actually buy one. I've hardly looked at it in months.  
The K10D, on the other hand, is happily collecting 300-400 photos per  
week for me.

Good luck with it. And enjoy the couch. ;-)

Nice catch, both you & the Grebe!

Me too. Also appears oversharpened to me.
