Re: Pentax and Wally World Team Up.
Most likely a small mirror at 45 deg. The lens is behind the mirror and zooming is invisible inside the camerabody. Minolta was first.

Re: FS Friday: 3 old cameras
Good questions. The dust appears to have been mostly on the outside - I think I got most of it with a swab. The blue area must be a reflection of the flash off the edge of the viewfinder glass - I could see something bluish but there is definitely not a blue spot on the camera.

Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed
I'm too purist and too lazy for that. ;-) I had Cokin filters once and I'm too careless and they scratch too easy. I'm not against using filters. It's just that on dark, overcast days, in the shade of trees, in some place like Mt. Rainier National Park, I rarely had to use anything than a polarizer when shooting Velvia (Jack). With a camera having a minum ISO of 200, I't pretty much a given that filters will be required.

Re: Optio 330 - Is my Optio's sensor toast?
Short answer, Yes. My 330R, which my wife inherited, never showed this problem before it was stolen. I bought a used 330 as a replacement. After a few months it started producing images just like the ones you are showing. I sent it for Pentax repair, it worked for awhile and then started the same thing again. I bought a used 550 from eBay as a replacement; after a few months it started producing images just like the ones you are showing. I sent it for Pentax repair, it worked for awhile and then started the same thing again plus other problems. I suggested a 750 as a replacement since no 330's or 550's were out there, she opted for a Leica DLux-3 instead. Which would be a fine camera if it only had a viewfinder... stan On Aug 23, 2007, at 9:06 AM, Christian wrote: > My Optio 330 has been on permanent loan to my dad for a few years.

Re: Just Bought a KX
I'd agree with those recommendations. I started out with a Spotmatic II, but would have much preferred a Spotmatic F; open-aperture metering is a very nice feature. I never had any of the earlier K mounts; I started with an MX (which I still have). In the intervening years I've owned an ME (too automatic), an ME Super, a Super Program, a PZ-1p and an MZ-S. About the only one of those that I wouldn't recommend for all-around photography is the ME - the rest are all classics in their own way: MXSmall, simple, full manual camera (capable of 5fps with the optional motor drive!) ME Super Last of the cameras that work without batteries Super Program The high point of the manual focus bodies PZ-1p 4.3fps, 1/8000 shutter speed; excellent for flash. Introduced the two-wheel hyper program interface that was also used in the *ist-D and K10D. MZ-S The last, and best, of the MZ bodies.

Re: Some quick monitor info

If I > were to consider an LCD, what important specs should I be looking for? not all LCDs are made equal, even when all of them say "Active matrix TFT". Currently (S-)IPS panels are probably the best for colour corrections/photo editing, followed by PVA and MVA. Most of the common LCDs are made using basic TN technology which is quite inferior to the above mentioned due to significant colour shifts when viewed from an angle among other things (fine for the office stuff though). If tech specs mention viewing angles 178/178, it's most probably PVA/MVA based display, 170/170 is characteristic of IPS. Latest TN panels offer 160/160 but I'd say it's more like 150/130 as the visible difference is considerably higher. Of course there are some other important aspects like quality and uniformity of the backlighting or internal gamma/LUT adjustements capabilities but the quality of the screen is primarily determined by used panel technology.

Re: Just Bought a KX
The Super A is great - definitely my favourite among the MF Pentax, although I've never handled an LX. I don't have any experience with the SP 500 or SP1000 but I wouldn't rule out the Spotmatic F. It was the last of the screw mount series and the most capable in that it offered open aperture metering with Super Multi Coated Takumars and SMC Takumars. With other Takumars and other branded screw mount lenses you get the usual stop down metering.

There's nothing to burn out on the shutter, Amita. You might run the battery dry and then the camera will shut down. The shutter is simply a mechanical device with a couple of springs and magnets. The second curtain stays open as long as its retaining mechanism does not release. Godfrey On Aug 23, 2007, at 12:30 PM, Amita Guha wrote: > Thanks!

Re: Bigma 50-500 vs 100-300 + 1.4x TC
Hello Pentax Please add this feature in the next firmware upgrade: Add a feature to multiply the focal length reported by the lens by a user entered factor e.g 1.4x 2x 1.7x and operate the SR system based on that.. Easy software fix IMHO. That would be nice.

Thanks for the help. :) I recently bought an old Nikon FA just in case I ever get to do star trails again - sounds like film is still the way to go for this sort of thing until I get rich or develop enough patience to do the kind of thing you're talking about. :) Amita On 8/23/07, Tom C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We're talking relatively short exposure times.

Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed
We're talking relatively short exposure times. Frequently and often under 10 minutes. Depending on the subject and the setup, maybe not open for even a minute. The art is such that multiple exposures are digitally stacked and aligned so that luminance builds up, for example, 20 3-minutes exposures = a single 1 hour exposure. The other answer is, apparently not that often... :-) I don't have a dedicated DSLR for astrophotography, but if I do it will be a Canon (if I was buying one today).

Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed
But as I said, I can't get a long enough exposure time to do the job I want with much greater than ISO 3. I don't stack filters, I have a 6 and an 8 stop ND. I fit them when I need them... after focusing and with the camera set up on a tripod. Long as I'm going to that effort for a shot, it isn't that big a deal.

Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed
It's just not *wanting* to use the filters, or use them as little as possible. You start stacking filters and using small apertures and the view through the viewfinder is too dark to use. :-) Tom C. >From: Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List >To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List >Subject: Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed >Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:48:33 -0700 > > >On Aug 23, 2007, at 11:23 AM, Amita Guha wrote: > > > Funny you should mention it, I put my remaining 3 manual Pentaxes up > > on ebay this week.

Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed
The main thing is their extremely low noise characteristics. Noise will build up in any sensor of course, but of all the DSLR's out there, the Digital Rebels and the 5D are recognized as the best. There's also hardware (filter mods) and control software that's been written for them Surpassing them are the dedicated, cooled, CCD cameras specifically designed for astrophotography, that both record the image and send guiding signals to the scope's computer, off of one chip.

Re: OT: DPR Nikon D3, Full-Frame, previewed
What's wrong with that? It's simply making a statement that there's a feature or attribute that may not be to my liking. On the flip-side, there's plenty of things to like. Like I said, I havn't noticed so gigantic a difference in viewfinders that it would sway me one way or another in making a purchase decision. It must be acceptable for most people's use otherwise most people (or a significant portion of the customer base) wouldn't be buying them. I'm sure there's plenty of happy regular Joe's shooting with Digital Rebels. Viewfinder aside, they are a standout in astrophotography circles, with the most bang for the buck of any DSLR. I would prefer a lower native ISO particularly for moving water shots which I like to take, because as you know, it would at times preclude the use of filters other than a polarizer when needed.

Re: Sorry, another Epson 2400 problem
So have you tried going back to your original reference file for the photo, with the embedded profile, and printing from that? The customer file was evidently stripped of any profile information, which means you need to profile it properly and readjust it for printing.. If you are not keeping a reference file for work you sell, well, you ought to be... It's the only way to assure that you can reproduce exactly what you've done before. I keep a reference image file of a grayscale and macbeth color chart handy so I can proof the printer in case there is any question against prior print runs, like when I change ink carts or change monitor/printer configurations.
