Hi Amita, I definitely wouldn't get it repaired, I would cite the fact that is has this problem in any pending sale however I would indicate what Pentax want to charge. I'm sure their quote is over the top. The unit is probably a little corroded but as it still works I would suggest that a clean and contact treatment by someone who knows what they are doing would likely halt further degradation.

Let me repeat that, the people with sense. I'm pretty pleased that Doug has set up the list as he has and yes the demeanor of the list does rely upon self moderation to a degree but it also relies upon tolerance and self control, neither of which necessarily require any party to withdraw from any particular threads or the list or refrain from communicating with any particular lister. The way that each lister manages their interaction with the list and its subscribers is up to them. Markus seemed a little perturbed that he had not received feedback on his photograph but there's no reason to blame that on another thread nor Pauls issue regarding missing personal communications. All sort of people have left the list over the many years I've been here citing all sorts of issues, my favorite parting comments being "if xx doesn't stop yy then I'll unsubscribe". If they like the place they will come back. > I am now feeling tired of it again. I think I will give the list a miss for > few days or week or so. > > A lot has happened while you were gone.

Re: would you get this repair done?
I would not have the repair done.

Re: would you get this repair done?
Well, selling it "as is" you know it will likely fail at some point due to corrosion. So if you're going to sell it, you should disclose its condition, which will hurt the sale price. Completed auctions on *ist D "body only" are running around $250-300 at present.

FS: various Pentax lenses
I am selling the following lenses: A 20/2.8 ??? K 24/2.8 $275 K 35/2.0 ??? A 100/2.8 macro ??? M 120/2.8 $145 DA 16-45 $275 FA 20-35 ??? and Vivitar MC 100/3.5 macro $50 The listed prices are my best guess at value based on what I paid, minimal info from recent eBay and KEH listings, and two glasses of wine. Shipping not included. For the ones marked with ???, I have a general price point in mind but am less confident on the "right" price. Anything not spoken for here in the next few days will go on eBay in a week of so with the above prices as the reserve price. All are in very good condition, the newer ones have the original boxes etc. The Vivitar is one I bought to have an alternative 100mm macro that I could throw in the bag (unlike the PK-A-100/2.8 which I have always treated like a jewel.) Haven't used it that much... Am also considering selling my *ist-D with battery grip. Though I do find it nice to have two camera bodies to use.

I think you have a problem understanding what is legal and illegal. I think it's legal to buy a multi-region DVD player in the USA. I think it's legal for an individual to reprogram a region 1 player to be a multi-region player in the USA.

RE: OT - for those of youwho haveDVD equipthat can playPAL systemDVD's
DUH, I wasnt repeatedly contending it wasnt legal to **buy** a non- region 1 DVD player in the USA, I repeatedly made the contention that its illegal to **sell** them here and also stated repeatedly that's mostly likely why none of the USA major retailers sell them. YOU counter argued that they dont sell them because there isnt demand for them not because it isnt legal to sell them. NOW you are changing your positon to say its not illegal to **buy** them which does not address my repeated contention or your insistance why the major sellers dont sell them. You are trying to argue buying now when we were discussing SELLING them. re : quote by another poster on this, possibly true: "All DVD Players shipped in the USA must be set to Region 1. It is not legal for the manufacturer to provide information or any other means of changing the region code to allow the playback of DVD's from other regions."

"All DVD Players shipped in the USA must be set to Region 1. It is not legal for the manufacturer to provide information or any other means of changing the region code to allow the playback of DVD's from other regions." are you really trying to say that you think the above statement doesnt say or mean that its not legal to ship anything other than region 1 DVD players that are not changeable by the user to the USA? (shipped "in" is vague, it probably means shipped "to") I never said you cant modify a player yourself, I said my continued contention was that I didnt believe that it was legal to **sell** non region 1 DVD players in the USA and thats exactly what the above statement is saying the way it reads. like I said above the reason why circuit city and best buy and the like dont sell these is most likely because the above quote is TRUE (assuming shipped to) and because they dont sell illegally imported items. jco -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom C Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 8:36 PM To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: RE: OT - for those of youwho haveDVD equipthat can playPAL systemDVD's >Excuse me but my repeated contention/belief >on this has been that its not legal to sell region free >or cross regioned DVD players in the USA, >using the fact that you cant get them from >any of the major U.S. retailers and the >simple existance of the regioning system >itself in the first place as logical reasons why.

Let me help you parse these two simple sentences John. Sentence 1: "All DVD Players shipped in the USA must be set to Region 1". Set to Region 1. It doesn't say you can't change it from region 1. So guess what? When I bought my multi-region DVD player it was set to Region 1. HAHAHAHA! Sentence 2: "It is not legal for the manufacturer to provide information or any other means of changing the region code to allow the playback of DVD's from other regions" Manufacturer to provide. If someone besides the manufacturer provides it, it's not illegal. HAHAHAHA! Your reasoning that it's illegal because Circuit City and Best Buy doesn't sell them is foolish, foolish, foolish. They also don't sell multi-color flashing LED underwear, but it doesn't mean it's illegal to sell or buy them.

re: V700 film holder height adjustment (was: Re: speaking of enablement..)
Hallo Paul, Well, I've tried all possible combinations now. Far as I can see, there is a marginal gain in sharpness going from + to 0 setting, and no further improvement happens by removing the feet. Probably unit-to- unit variations account for this. Godfrey On Apr 19, 2007, at 12:45 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > That's something I hadn't thought of, thank you.

Re: Size Sells?
Thanks, Marnie. It was cold and (obviously)windy to boot. Early January. The thing I remember about that shot was a kid - maybe 11 or 12 years old - who came up to me and asked for money. He was wearing only a windbreaker and was shivering violently. I gave him $10 and he ran off. FWIW - the shot was taken with a tripod mounted A* 400 f2.8 and Pz-1p camera on Kodak E100S slide film. The roll of film got splashed with bleach in the lab so there is a burn in the sky right of the lighthouse that I had to touch up with Photoshop. One thing I like about digital - no lab horror stories! - MCC [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 4/19/2007 11:23:43 P.M.

Re: Worst Bokeh ever in a non-mirror Pentax Lens?
The A* 400 f2.8 can produce some horrendous bokeh too. Near out of focus elements can look really bad. I tested it by focusing in on an isolated subject - like a single grass stalk - and the slowly de-focusing by moving the focal point closer. The image would initially split into two softer versions of itself which would then ultimately blur out into a pleasing bokeh. But if you got a bunch of stuff in that "split in two" range the bokeh would look like a mess. A couple of examples of bad bokeh - http://www.markcassino.com/galleries/birds/b0009.htm http://www.markcassino.com/galleries/birds/0204b59.htm One the flip side - it can produce a nice bokeh and sometimes a distinctive one in some lighting situations. Nice: http://www.markcassino.com/galleries/birds/0308b18.htm http://www.markcassino.com/galleries/new/lis082.htm Distinctive: http://www.markcassino.com/galleries/birds/0204b49.htm Your sample is a pretty high contrast harsh light situation - perhaps the bokeh would look better in more moderate light, different distance for the out of focus background etc. - MCC J.

It is not legal for the manufacturer to provide information or any other means of changing the region code to allow the playback of DVD's from other regions. Let me help you parse these two simple sentences John. Sentence 1: "All DVD Players shipped in the USA must be set to Region 1". Set to Region 1. It doesn't say you can't change it from region 1. So guess what? When I bought my multi-region DVD player it was set to Region 1. HAHAHAHA! Sentence 2: "It is not legal for the manufacturer to provide information or any other means of changing the region code to allow the playback of DVD's from other regions" Manufacturer to provide. If someone besides the manufacturer provides it, it's not illegal. HAHAHAHA! Your reasoning that it's illegal because Circuit City and Best Buy doesn't sell them is foolish, foolish, foolish. They also don't sell multi-color flashing LED underwear, but it doesn't mean it's illegal to sell or buy them.

Yup, when you are using a SAT receiver your DVR recordings can still go on during short power dropouts with a UPS if the dish electronics still have power.

Greetings to all the PDML members - I'm off list tomorrow Sunday Markus == Well, I'll miss you Markus. But I can certainly understand why you'd like more moderation. At the best of times, this list isn't very moderate. :-) OTOH, most people have spam filters which can be set as people filters too. Bear that in mind. Many on list have found it a good way to do some home brewed moderation.

Re: Epson V700 resolution tests - 645 film
Well, it's been done to death, I know. The web will, also, give one about all they can stand. The reason it's been done and is being done is because of irrepressible curiosity about camera and process comparisons. I don't think I need to explain "what I'm trying to see" and I accept that your tests were for something altogether different.
