Under $500. Excellent. Just what we need :-/ You may not need it, but Pentax sure does. As I said in my other post, a lens like this is an instant hit with entry-level photographers, soccer moms, and average consumers. I hope to someday see this lens bundled with a K100D or K110D, because then more of the previously mentioned people will consider buying a Pentax. Essentially, it's a good marketing move on Pentax's part. Plus, don't forget that this lens, even though it's built by Tamron, will still have Pentax's SMC coatings. There are other Pentax-rebranded lenses that have been better than the original model (Tamron, Tokina, etc) because of this.

RE: High Tide
We had an unusually high tide on the Thames today. I took some photos with my mobile phone: http://www.web-options.com/Tide/ Was it not high enough to justify raising the barrier? - Dave I guess not. I don't know what their criteria are for raising it for real, rather than just a test. This tide was high, but not dangerously so. The pictures were taken in the 10-15 minutes around the high tide, according to the tide tables, so it wasn't going to get any higher. I have often seen it washing over the riverside path - that's not particularly unusual, and at its deepest it will lap around your ankles.

Re: Camera Leather
Hmm, it has been a while since I have visited the site. I have put much on hold while being up north. I probably should fill in him... Once I put the cobra on an LX I found that I enjoyed the 'feel' of the camera much more. Especially as I would step in and out of air conditioned places. It never felt that the LX would slip from my hand. I must comment that I have had all sorts of comments about the cobra LX. I found that females really like the look. Of course some squirmed once they found out the source but even they came around. I recall Eleanor (former PDMLer) at our San Antonio PDML get-together finally warming to the camera and actually sitting close to it :-) As to before ordering the cobra skin, I would think it is the exotic nature of it. The 'patina' that happens with the skin gives the camera character. I would send a link to a picture of the current state of my LXen, but they are currently up north while I sit here in the south.

Re: Fuji or Kodak?
Yes, Fuji is very good, particularly in dim lighting (this was my experience with the 800 speed variety). Wow, you shoot down to 1/4 with the 400 speed...no blur? I loaded a roll of the 400 in my camera today. I just took a picture of my one year-old getting a bath, and I I thought I was pushing it ay 1/45... Sure, sometimes I get blur, but usually I get pretty sharp pictures even when I'm taking slow pictures, as long as the subject isn't moving ;) and if I do get it a bit blurry most of the time it's in a picture where I don't mind. My camera only takes pictures down to 1s, but I usually don't go that slow. Here's a picture taken at ½s that isn't too bad. http://picasaweb.google.com/rg2pdml/PESO/photo?authkey=W1C-i05p28o#5116002907034854178 For me, it's hard not to shift my hands when I press the shutter button. It probably goes back to that you should use a tripod argument. I used to use 800 speed kodak exclusively but I guess I was never quite satisfied with the sharpness so I ended up trying to take my pictures slower. I haven't tried 800 Fuji of any type, but your approval of it makes me curious. Do you have a steady hand? Or do you have a fast lens? I hope your bath picture comes out well :) rg2 On 9/29/07, Glen Tortorella [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, Fuji is very good, particularly in dim lighting (this was my experience with the 800 speed variety).

RE: High Tide
There have been much higher tides. One of the sea walls near my house records several floods in the last century which would have been up to my shoulders. This all used to be marshland. I looked up the sea-level changes in a book that was to hand - Out of Eden, by Stephen Oppenheimer. I quote measurements made on the Greenland ice cap show that the second coldest time of the last 100,000 years was between 60,000 and 80,000 years ago. At its coldest, 70,000 years ago, this glaciation took the world's sea levels 80 metres (260 feet) below today's levels. During that time Europe has been joined to and separated from Britain several times by the rising and falling waters of the North Sea. It is their present misfortune to live in an interglacial. -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of graywolf Sent: 30 September 2007 17:36 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: High Tide Must be global warming.

Re: Fuji or Kodak?
Thank you for your kind words. I hope the picture of my little red head is satisfactory. She gave a nice little smile. I tend to have a fairly steady hand. When I shoot, I try to concentrate on cradling the body properly and exhaling when I release the shutter. Also, I think my hand is a bit steadier with the Nikon N80, as it is a much heavier, studier body than the ZX-M. It has a noticeably lower center of gravity, and a better grip, too--I feel like some sort of pseudo-pro now :-) I am not one who thinks photography is all in the lens. Certainly the lens is crucial, but so is the body. You ask: Do you have a fast lens?...my Pentax A is a 50/2 and my Nikon is an F 50/1.8 D...pretty fast... Yes, the Fuji 800 is nice. I have the 400 in my camera right now. I will pass along some comments one I have a roll or two developed. Glen On Sep 30, 2007, at 10:36 AM, Rebekah wrote: Yes, Fuji is very good, particularly in dim lighting (this was my experience with the 800 speed variety). Wow, you shoot down to 1/4 with the 400 speed...no blur? I loaded a roll of the 400 in my camera today. I just took a picture of my one year-old getting a bath, and I I thought I was pushing it ay 1/45... Sure, sometimes I get blur, but usually I get pretty sharp pictures even when I'm taking slow pictures, as long as the subject isn't moving ;) and if I do get it a bit blurry most of the time it's in a picture where I don't mind. My camera only takes pictures down to 1s, but I usually don't go that slow. Here's a picture taken at ½s that isn't too bad. http://picasaweb.google.com/rg2pdml/PESO/photo?authkey=W1C- i05p28o#5116002907034854178 For me, it's hard not to shift my hands when I press the shutter button. It probably goes back to that you should use a tripod argument. I used to use 800 speed kodak exclusively but I guess I was never quite satisfied with the sharpness so I ended up trying to take my pictures slower. I haven't tried 800 Fuji of any type, but your approval of it makes me curious. Do you have a steady hand? Or do you have a fast lens? I hope your bath picture comes out well :) rg2 On 9/29/07, Glen Tortorella [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, Fuji is very good, particularly in dim lighting (this was my experience with the 800 speed variety).

Propaganda remember literally means truth. Propaganda literally means things to propagate. Truth is neither here nor there. In fact, used for ideas it is a metaphor, rather similar to the way broadcast is a metaphor when applied to radio and TV transmission. Propago, -are, -avi, -atum, verb transitive, to propagate, to extend, to prolong. Propaganda is the gerundive - a 'verbal adjective', passive. It is formed by adding -nd to the root, and adding the appropriate gender ending -us, -s, -um. It carries with it a sense of duty, or necessaity. Cato famously used a gerundive in all of his speeches, which he ended with the phrase Carthago delenda est - Carthage must be destroyed. Thus propag- -anda: things to be propagated, extended or prolonged. It is the same (Latin) grammatical form as agenda, which literally means things to be done. -- Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The idea that kings should lead from the front really lost favor after the fall of Napoleon the III, he was one of the last emperors who insisted on leading his troops from near the front. The problem was that while he was a Napoleon he wasn't the Napoleon. graywolf wrote: A long long time ago in a land far far away the king was expected to be out in front of the pawns leading them.
