Re: PESO: Wall of Weed
G'day Dave I looked at this first on my uncalibrated Linux partition and thought much the same as Jack (that the image was too dark in the shadows of the weed piles). On my sort-of-calibrated Windows partition there's more detail but I think a bit of selective curves or levels adjustment on the darker areas would improve the image greatly, while retaining that wonderful sky. The intersection of the weed pile with the horizon is a bit unfortunate, however.

Re: Quick Self-Introduction and First PESO - Jackson
Welcome to the list. Good looking boy! Not bad photographically for an early effort. But it's oversaturated and perhaps slightly soft. The softness could either be caused by it being slightly out of focus or by motion blur that might occur if you used too slow a shutter speed. The saturation can be dialed down in photoshop. It might also be a wee bit too blue. Pics shot in shade usually need a bit of white balance correction toward the warm side. I might also have framed this as a vertical, but that's largely a matter of taste.

PESO: Wall of Weed (v1.1)
Thanks to everyone who took the time to have a look comment on my original Wall of Weed PESO . Seems I was a bit hasty in my PP posting of that photo (I need to get back into the habit of waiting a few days before doing any work on recent shots). Anywho, I agree that the position of the weed so close to the horizon is unfortunate. I couldn't get any higher, or lower, in that location so there isn't much I can do about that.

Think about this, if you drop a hammer on your foot what does it do, beside hurt. It falls down. I suggest that the needle of a compass, and the electromagnetic field if follows, is not pointing/flowing north, (or up, as the NH'ers would like everyone to believe). But it is in actuality pointing/flowing down. So down under is actually up over. The only reason that north is considered up is because they (the devious NH'ers) were the ones to be the first to name the hemispheres Earth's magnetic field. Knowing that that we're at the arse end of the planet, and refusing to concede the point. They just plain ignored the facts, and fooled the world into thinking that north was up. Unfortunately, the NH conspiracy has become so ingrained in the human psyche that the truth will never be accepted.

Re: Flat Bed Scanners
Yes for negs, not so much for prints. But unless you are doing MF or LF stuff, investing in a dedicated 35mm scanner is a better choice for neg/slide scanning. The Minolta Scan Dual's are available cheaply used, and Nikon's Coolscan V costs around the same as a high-end flatbed (like the Epson V700) and will produce notably better output from slides or negs (And will also be less hassle, flatbed neg holders are mostly annoying). I'm currently doing all my scanning with an Epson 4490, which is an excellent flatbed option, especially once you add a set of betterscanning.com ANR inserts (hold film strips flat without adding newton rings) and a betterscanning.com MF holder (the Epson one sucks). I'd go with a V500 for 35mm/MF today, or the V700 for LF scanning. -Adam On 12/13/07, Walter Hamler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I currently have a Canon Canoscan that I have had in service through 3 different computers and three different OS.

K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
I'm pretty happy with the configurability of the K10D via Custom Function, especially in the AE modes. But I do have a few suggestions for Pentax which would improve this even more. Here they are: Add custom functions to allow assignment of control dials in M, B(ulb) and X-Sync modes. For M(anual) mode, this needs two options, standard and reversed controls. For B mode, it needs standard and reversed controls, and standard and reversed controls with ISO on the second dial (Currently all you have is Aperture on the rear dial in Bulb mode). X(-sync) mode should be the same as Bulb. Reverseable dials and the option of having ISO on the second dial. The Custom Function 'Green Button in TAv and M' should be split into two functions. One for TAv with the current options, another for M with the current options and a Sv Line as well (set ISO). Currently you can choose Program Line(Green Button sets Aperture and Shutter based on the program line), Tv Line (Green button sets Shutter based on selected Aperture) and Av Line (Green Button sets aperture based on shutter). The Custom Function 'AF Button Function' needs some more options. What it needs are: Disengage/Engage AF when held - AF button disengages the AF drive when held while the camera's AF mode selector is in an AF selection, when the AF Mode Selector is in MF holding the AF button engages the AF system in AF-S mode and activates it. Disengage/Engage AF When Pressed - AF Button overrides the AF Mode selector position, toggling the AF system's engagement when pressed. As the K10D indicates MF in the viewfinder, this would allow quick switching between AF and MF with all AF lenses, even the older FA lenses without Quick-Shift Focus. It would engage AF-S mode if the AF Mode Selector is set to MF or AF-S, and AF-C if the AF Mode Selector is set to AF-C. Two more AF custom functions are also needed. The first is 'AF-C Priority', with two options: Release Priority' (Default) and 'Focus Priority' The second is 'AF-S Priority', with the same two options, but 'Focus Priority' as the default. Also there needs to be a Custom Function 'Display ISO in Viewfinder' which would have 'Disable' as default (showing Frames Remaining) and 'Enable' as an option, displaying ISO instead of frames remaining in the viewfinder.

Re: Flat Bed Scanners
I still use my several-years-old Epson 2450 for print work. If you can capture 16bit color or grayscale data from 5x7 to 8x10 sized prints at 600 ppi, that's more than enough to do anything. After much testing, I am happy that it seems to max out at a realistic 1600 ppi actual resolution (nominally it makes 2400 ppi optical). I have an Epson V700 also, for scanning medium format and odd sized larger film. It does virtually the same job on prints as the 2450, hard to tell the difference. Its max is about 2600 ppi (optical supposed to be 4800), a healthy improvement on the 2450 for negatives but inconsequential when it comes to print scanning. (Both the old Minolta Scan Dual II and the Nikon Coolscan IV ED return much better resolution for 35mm and smaller film formats: both achieve their rated 2820 and 2900 ppi scan resolution accurately.)

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
Again... List of capabilities I want in my current K10D or next hand held image computer, all of which could be made available from camera firmware and/or Remote Assistant software: 1.Ability to turn off the viewfinder display. It's not only useless for astrophotography, it greatly interferes with night vision and focusing on stars, or even dark street scenes. 2.Ability to adjust focus manually from the remote assistant, i.e. adjust the little screw drive as desired in manual mode from the remote assistant. 3.Continuous digital preview selection (mirror locked up, screen video) from the remote assistant (for remote focus). 4.Zoom of the digital preview selection from the remote assistant (for remote focus). 5.Continuous (one frame per half second) transfer to to the remote assistant of the zoomed of the digital preview (for remote focus and for monitoring - great for elusive wildlife). 7.Actual mirror lock (with AC adaptor for selenoid power if it's necessary) to support the above and to allow capture at the desired instant as it is seen. and via additional device: 8.Wireless (peferably via ad hoc 802.11n) transfer of all data and protocalls available from the camera's USB port. Gawd! The things I could do with these capabilities! Regards, Bob... - I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them long winter evenings. -- Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) - Original Message - From: Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 8:56 AM Subject: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax I'm pretty happy with the configurability of the K10D via Custom Function, especially in the AE modes. But I do have a few suggestions for Pentax which would improve this even more. Here they are: Add custom functions to allow assignment of control dials in M, B(ulb) and X-Sync modes. For M(anual) mode, this needs two options, standard and reversed controls. For B mode, it needs standard and reversed controls, and standard and reversed controls with ISO on the second dial (Currently all you have is Aperture on the rear dial in Bulb mode). X(-sync) mode should be the same as Bulb. Reverseable dials and the option of having ISO on the second dial. The Custom Function 'Green Button in TAv and M' should be split into two functions. One for TAv with the current options, another for M with the current options and a Sv Line as well (set ISO). Currently you can choose Program Line(Green Button sets Aperture and Shutter based on the program line), Tv Line (Green button sets Shutter based on selected Aperture) and Av Line (Green Button sets aperture based on shutter). The Custom Function 'AF Button Function' needs some more options. What it needs are: Disengage/Engage AF when held - AF button disengages the AF drive when held while the camera's AF mode selector is in an AF selection, when the AF Mode Selector is in MF holding the AF button engages the AF system in AF-S mode and activates it. Disengage/Engage AF When Pressed - AF Button overrides the AF Mode selector position, toggling the AF system's engagement when pressed. As the K10D indicates MF in the viewfinder, this would allow quick switching between AF and MF with all AF lenses, even the older FA lenses without Quick-Shift Focus. It would engage AF-S mode if the AF Mode Selector is set to MF or AF-S, and AF-C if the AF Mode Selector is set to AF-C. Two more AF custom functions are also needed. The first is 'AF-C Priority', with two options: Release Priority' (Default) and 'Focus Priority' The second is 'AF-S Priority', with the same two options, but 'Focus Priority' as the default. Also there needs to be a Custom Function 'Display ISO in Viewfinder' which would have 'Disable' as default (showing Frames Remaining) and 'Enable' as an option, displaying ISO instead of frames remaining in the viewfinder. As to the in-camera post-processing, it needs a little tweaking. First of all, the RAW Development needs a second save option. The current one needs to become 'Save as JPEG', and a 'Apply to RAW' options is also needed, that applies the selected settings to the RAW metadata and regenerates the embedded preview (I want this so I can fix WB after the fact in-camera).

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
I don't know whether this could be considered as a custom function, but, I would like provision for adding a teleconverter to the SR. Preferably one where you could multiply the known focal length of any lens, including a zoom lens, by a factor of 1.4x, 1.5x, 1.7x and 2x so that the cameras SR adjusts for the addition of a TC automatically.

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
Yes, that was the intent. I'd like it to work in all AE modes: reset camera to 0EV compensation and whatever the default operation for the mode is. In program, that means return to program line ... just one special case of the action. (A thought would have it be configurable to reset to my standard Auto ISO constrained to 100-400 settings as well, but that might prove to be going a little too far for a one-button reset. I usually don't set higher than 400 unless I need it, and usually want the ISO setting to persevere through mode switches and situation changes. I have the ISO warning flagged for anything over 400 and that is usually enough to remind me to re-set when needed.) Godfrey On Dec 13, 2007, at 9:32 AM, Adam Maas wrote: Yeah, that is a good one.

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
just some minor things I have been wondering about. I'll just mention them; I'm not sure they are important/general enough for a real feature request list. I have been wondering whether it would be useful to have an easier way to switch between opticalviewfinder-preview and electronic on-display preview - right now this is done using a custom function. hmmm... I guess the answer is to set it to optical, and shoot+chimp when electronic preview is needed. has the additional advantage that if the electronic preview would have been your best shot you don't have to worry on how to save the preview - you already have the shot. It might be useful to be able to assign other functions to the RAW button - I typically shoot RAW+ and thus the button gets no use. It might be nice to have a different way to switch on light for lcd display on-top-of-body. I liked the way it worked on Z1 (press both +- and a button next to is simultaneously). In this case that might be +- and AF. on the other hand, in the dark it is probably fine that pressing +- immediately lights the lcd without need for more fumbling. This thread has been instructive to me, when Godfrey wrote: I have the ISO warning flagged for anything over 400 and that is usually enough to remind me to re-set when needed.) thanks for this reminder. I had set the camera up as you describe when I got the camera, and then forgot about the warning feature. last week I have been noticing the ISO indication on the display without remembering that it was there because I asked for it - and thus I only checked settings and reduced ISO setting after several unintended-high-iso shots.

Re: Metz 58AF-1 P
One day after Sint Nikolaas, several before Christmas, some one brought a package containing the above flash unit. It looks very well build like I am used from Metz, and the first results with my K10D look very good. I have some manual reading to do, and some playing around. Nice in this dark time of the year. same here, today. agree about the need to read. this is my first remote-controlled flash that I can actually control remotely which seems fun - dunno how much I'll actually use the feature. (for the 40mz2 I never had a remote-enabled counterpart) first shots look ok. on a fisheye shot with a person's face nearby the face got slightly more light than intended, i.e. the red overexposure bits are blinking on a cheek - but that may very well have to do with the fish-eye features. I mean: I have noticed before that auto-exposure with fisheye may need some attention and occasional correction.

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
Maybe an option to seriously dim the viewfinder display at night. It interferes with night photography in general. Bob Blakely wrote: Again... List of capabilities I want in my current K10D or next hand held image computer, all of which could be made available from camera firmware and/or Remote Assistant software: 1.Ability to turn off the viewfinder display.

But I do have a few suggestions for Pentax which would improve this even more. Here they are: Add custom functions to allow assignment of control dials in M, B(ulb) and X-Sync modes. For M(anual) mode, this needs two options, standard and reversed controls. For B mode, it needs standard and reversed controls, and standard and reversed controls with ISO on the second dial (Currently all you have is Aperture on the rear dial in Bulb mode). X(-sync) mode should be the same as Bulb. Reverseable dials and the option of having ISO on the second dial. The Custom Function 'Green Button in TAv and M' should be split into two functions. One for TAv with the current options, another for M with the current options and a Sv Line as well (set ISO). Currently you can choose Program Line(Green Button sets Aperture and Shutter based on the program line), Tv Line (Green button sets Shutter based on selected Aperture) and Av Line (Green Button sets aperture based on shutter). The Custom Function 'AF Button Function' needs some more options. What it needs are: Disengage/Engage AF when held - AF button disengages the AF drive when held while the camera's AF mode selector is in an AF selection, when the AF Mode Selector is in MF holding the AF button engages the AF system in AF-S mode and activates it. Disengage/Engage AF When Pressed - AF Button overrides the AF Mode selector position, toggling the AF system's engagement when pressed. As the K10D indicates MF in the viewfinder, this would allow quick switching between AF and MF with all AF lenses, even the older FA lenses without Quick-Shift Focus. It would engage AF-S mode if the AF Mode Selector is set to MF or AF-S, and AF-C if the AF Mode Selector is set to AF-C. Two more AF custom functions are also needed. The first is 'AF-C Priority', with two options: Release Priority' (Default) and 'Focus Priority' The second is 'AF-S Priority', with the same two options, but 'Focus Priority' as the default. Also there needs to be a Custom Function 'Display ISO in Viewfinder' which would have 'Disable' as default (showing Frames Remaining) and 'Enable' as an option, displaying ISO instead of frames remaining in the viewfinder. As to the in-camera post-processing, it needs a little tweaking. First of all, the RAW Development needs a second save option. The current one needs to become 'Save as JPEG', and a 'Apply to RAW' options is also needed, that applies the selected settings to the RAW metadata and regenerates the embedded preview (I want this so I can fix WB after the fact in-camera). Also it would be nice if I could select one of the digital filters as a default for JPEGs (IE, I want to be able to select the BW options so I can shoot in BW mode rather than having to do conversions afterwards). -- So I'm going to send this to Pentax as a suggestion, anyone have any comments first? -- M. Adam Maas http://www.mawz.ca
Re: DS problems
Well hell, if I sent it in for repair it was going to cost at least $200. Might as well try the simple fix first. At worst I'd have to wait a couple of weeks to find out it was unrepairable than look into used Ds/Ds2, (at maybe a cost of $300 if was lucky), or saving my pennies for a K10D while I used my *ist D, (and maybe used up some of that BW 35mm film I've got in an LX)..

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
As long as we're on a K10D wishlist thread I'll add my two cents. The thing that bugs me most is something they did *right* on the ist-D and messed up on the K10D: Mirror pre-fire.

How to deodorize old Pentax?
Hi there! I have a Pentax S1A that I want to get overhauled and working again. Here's the thing though, I am trying to deodorize it first. The camera has spent the last 30+ years inside it's case and the back of the camera (curiously not the front) seems to have this strong sweetish aroma coming from the black textured area that makes me dizzy. I have let it sit in the open air for the last 2 months and nothing changed. I have tried dish soap, potassium hand soap, castile hand soap. No luck. I've tried leaving it in a casserole container with baking soda for several days, no luck either. I still have on my list to try: vinegar in a bowl in the container overnight, paste of hydrogen perioxide mixed w/ sodium bicarbonate in order to generate massive oxygen and scrub at it, zeolite overnight, newspapers overnight, charcoal overnight, spray it with febreze (cyclodextrins). I suppose a last resort would be to strip the grip material off and replace it, but I'd like to avoid doing that because it's in perfect condition. Advice appreciated.

On 13/12/07, Peter, discombobulated, unleashed: the back of the camera (curiously not the front) seems to have this strong sweetish aroma coming from the black textured area that makes me dizzy.

Re: K10D Custom Function Suggestions for Pentax
Me either, Mark. Further, I only use mirror pre-lock on a static subject. If I'm waiting for the breeze to lay down or working with a live subject, shutter timing is more important. There are times when I too would like a true mirror lock-up. I miss the LX at these times.

Re: How to deodorize old Pentax?
Peter, I bought a pristine black MX (for $20! You may hate me if you wish.) from somebody on Craig's List a couple years ago. It was in a never-ready case and the previous owner was obviously a smoker. I'm not. The thing REEKED of stale yucky smoke. I left it out on my counter, bedside table, dresser, in the car, In the camper (PDML West), in my camera bag, and even at my in-law's place once. Using it and leaving it out in fresh air made it not smell anymore. Now it's closed-up in a bookcase with some old books. I fear it'll smell again soon if I don't show it some love.

I have a Pentax S1A that I want to get overhauled and working again. Here's the thing though, I am trying to deodorize it first. The camera has spent the last 30+ years inside it's case and the back of the camera (curiously not the front) seems to have this strong sweetish aroma coming from the black textured area that makes me dizzy. I have let it sit in the open air for the last 2 months and nothing changed. I have tried dish soap, potassium hand soap, castile hand soap. No luck. I've tried leaving it in a casserole container with baking soda for several days, no luck either. I still have on my list to try: vinegar in a bowl in the container overnight, paste of hydrogen perioxide mixed w/ sodium bicarbonate in order to generate massive oxygen and scrub at it, zeolite overnight, newspapers overnight, charcoal overnight, spray it with febreze (cyclodextrins). I suppose a last resort would be to strip the grip material off and replace it, but I'd like to avoid doing that because it's in perfect condition. Advice appreciated.

I suspect that either the leather covering is rotting from the back side out, or the cement itself is biodegrading. Either way, the best way to deal with it is to stip the covering off and replace it after thoroughly cleaning the outside of the body.

I have it set up for 3 second pre-fire and I use it when shooting landscapes/seascapes. But sometimes a person/car/boat moves into frame that I want to catch so I need to time a shot more accurately. When that occurs I switch to the on camera shutter release. This is an example of the above mentioned situation: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1378/1380962563_71870d3ac9_o.jpg I had been shooting the sunset the big ship using the remote when the smaller boat came powering in. Given the speed it was travelling, I only had time for 1 shot.
