Re: PESO - Blustery Day
I like your choice of shooting angle. I have a shot of this lighthouse (Pigeon Point), but taken from a less dramatic angle. The lighting and obvious effects of wind were well caught. That was the heaviest wind storm I've ever experienced in my many winters. We were without power for 36 hours and there are still some who won't have their power back on for another day or so. The cold and inconvenience were awful, but fortunately, the temperatures were in the low 50's during the day and we had a BBQ (with a burner) that didn't run out of propane 'til a couple hours prior to the power being restored.

Re: Question for automobile enthusiasts on the list
He might very well have ended up in Detroit. I'll ask around. Chevrolet produced an engine of this design as well. It was first used in passenger cars in 1958, but may have been used in trucks prior to that. The chamber in block design seems to yield excellent low end and midrange torque, so it's well suited to heavy cars and trucks. However, the high speed operation is not very good, and emissions are extremely high due to cooling of the charge.

Most Detroit engines of that era were the work of a number of engineers. I believe the first version of this engine, in smaller displacement, appeared in the very early fifties in a Lincoln. Paul As far as I can gather, Samuel D Heron was an engineer who worked at the Royal Aircraft Factory during WWI and then moved to the US in the late 1920s to work at Wright's factory. After that, I lose track of him. I thought there was an association with Harry Ricardo but can't find anything. It would be interesting to know where he ended up.

Strange *ist-D flash behavior. A quick question for those still using old equipment.
Quick question for those still using old equipment. I had to shoot an event a week ago and my *ist-D started acting strangely. When I mounted a AF280 flash the camera worked perfectly for the first few shots then seemed to be trying to PTTL with that flash, which of course the flash is not capable of doing. I then swapped the flash to the *ist-Ds where it worked as advertised. I was carrying a light kit so my backup flash was an AF200. Out of necessity I decided to try that on the *ist-D and it worked perfectly. Later on I swapped them and the *ist-D once again misbehaved. Has anyone seen this? If so did the fix involve something other than sending the camera out for repair? I'm currently planning to keep the *ist-D as a backup when I get the K10D, (or K20D depending on which makes the most sense in the next couple of months, funny talking about a camera that hasn't been officially announced yet). The *ist-D is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I expect that I'll get more for the Ds on the used market, and repair of the D might not even be economically feasible, (once the K20d is announced). -- I am personally a member of the Cream of the Illuminati.

Re: PESO (x4): How much faith....
Well I have faith in the weather sealing. The issue to me is that this guy is not dealing with weather, he is just walking out in salt water. Weather sealing is something like rain or wind blowing dust and such. I won't be surprised if he is in the market for a new camera. Just the other day we went to shoot Elephant Seals right after the huge storm in California. We got down to the beach walking with the docent amidst a heavy downpour of rain that eventually turned in to hail. I pulled my K10D and DA* 50-135 out from under the pancho many times to take shots. It definitely got wet, but held up well. I didn't keep it out in the rain the whole time, just during shooting itself, then back under the pancho. I like the footsteps, it just suffers from a very bland sky. The setting sun shot suffers from the same thing. There are days when the weather just doesn't quite give us what we are hoping. -- Bruce Monday, January 7, 2008, 5:27:03 AM, you wrote: DS ...do you have in the K10D's weather sealing? DS Me?

OT: Saturn (was Re: Question for automobile enthusiasts on the list)
The Saturn division originally built very good little cars, a great first cut on subcompacts. GM simply starved them of money until they could be made over in the image of the parent company. Now Saturns are just plastic clad GM extrusions. They build keepers but the fish keeps rotting from the head... My dad got one of the very first Saturn coupes in California, and for the rest of the '90s my little brothers and I were big Saturn fans (we were young and impressionable, what can I say). Every year we went to the San Francisco International Auto Show, and I saw the evolution of the Saturn brand from the beginning. When GM started drawing them in closer, they just went downhill. Quality, looks, everything. The only interesting unique thing Saturn has put out this decade was the 2001 special edition yellow coupe, which I thought was just beautiful, especially with the black yellow leather interior. My mom got one, but with plain black cloth interior (boring). The other product of theirs that I like is the Sky roadster, but it's just another GM clone, like the rest of Saturn's cars now. I was very sad when my dad sold his little red Saturn, but it was getting old and he needed something he could haul gardening supplies with. Now he's driving a Honda CR-V, and I suspect future car purchases that my parents make will be Japanese as well. My parents just don't trust the American car companies anymore. Me, I'd give anything for a new Dodge Challenger. John Celio The Saturn Score: Dad: original '91 SC-1 Coupe, now drives a Honda CR-V Mom: 2001 yellow special edition SC-2 Bro 1: 2000 (?) SL-2 Bro 2: 2004/5 Ion Me: yet to own a Saturn, much less drive one. My family's cars are all manual transmission, which I don't drive well enough to risk ruining a clutch or two. Plus, I'm not a GM fan, and currently loathe my little Chevy.

Re: Question for automobile enthusiasts on the list
Right you are...Dynaflow was a Buick transmission. My '48 Roadmaster used it. TurboGlide and PowerGlide were, I think, '50's Chevrolet designations, but you could feel their shift points. -p [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You're wrong only in the name. It was called Dynaflow, and it was a continuously variable automatic. If memory serves me, it utilized torque converter multiplication to alter ratios. I think they had a lot of service problems with it. I suspect the converter action generated a lot of heat. But it was around for quite a few years until they adapted the corporate transmissions THM400 and THM350. Speaking of transmissions, the THM400 was licensed to Jaguar, and they continued to use it for quite a few years after GM had abandoned it. It was only a three-speed, but it was bullet proof behind anything less than 500 horsepower or so.

Re: A couple more bicycle photos -peso
Well, this is definitely unseasonable weather, everyone is talking about it. Just playing around with the blog, it is harder for me to figure out how they implemented stuff than it would be to write the code from scratch. I am back to the standard interface as it takes larger photos without distorting or hiding them than the others I have tried so far. That is just a subdivision street, the only difference is that up here the scenery is a bit prettier. The road to town is a nightmare, two narrow lanes, no shoulders, a bank on one side, and a drop on the other, not to mention the 1/4 mile 200 foot climb from the apartment and the dumb helmet law in town.

Re: Those looking for a new K100D/K10D should move (very) quickly
Thibouille, Do you see this as a bad thing? It smells like money to me! Suppose you were SONY going to introduce a new computer or INTEL a new chip in early 2008. Suppose you sold out of the old computer or chip at the end of the Holidays. Wow, no old inventory to get rid of at discount pricing...smells like money to me! Furthermore, the note mentioned Ritz Camera as a big retailer taking bodies out of the market. Ritz/Wolf Camera stores are a terrible big chain. I would guess they are 1,000-2,000 stores in the USA. They are terrible because they killed/acquired every local camera store in every town in the USA. And they replaced them with a print machine and uninformed clerks. One Ma Pa camera store survives in my area and HELIX, a 15 store regional chain catering to pros. So what happens if the buyer for 1,000 Ritz/Wolf stores says Hey those Pentax cameras are good and cheap. We need to put at least 1 in every store in the chain for Christmas. You want to turn that order away? This is not far from the truth. I never go to this chain but was in 3 of the stores over the Holidays. In my area, HELIX stopped carrying Pentax SLR's and digital SLR's shortly after the *ist D. Ritz/Wolf Camera didn't stock them either. But now each of the 3 stores had Pentax right up there on the shelf with Nikon and Canon! This is a good thing. Let us stop whining about it! Regards, Bob S.

Re: OT: Saturn (was Re: Question for automobile enthusiasts on the list)
Opel has been a GM mark since 1931, apart from brief government control during the Nazi era. GM initially invested in Opel in 1929, buying 80%, and bought the rest in 1931. Several Opel designs have made it over here under different names, starting with the Cadillac Catera/Saturn L100. The Sky Red Line is identical to the Opel GT(Argh, forgot the Speedster's the earlier model, with the mid engine not the current model) . The only differences are the badges, Opel doesn't sell the base model. Daewoo also sells this car as the G2X. The Solstice is based on the same platform (the Kappa) but with completely different sheetmetal and different suspension and options (The Solstice is actually the faster vehicle due to better suspension tuning). -Adam On 1/7/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Sky's interesting, as it's a straight rebadge of the Opel Speedster (Same styling and drivetrain) unlike the fairly extensively modified Solstice (which is based on the Speedster, but not identical).

Re: OT: Saturn (was Re: Question for automobile enthusiasts on the list)
Also, Saturn seems to be essentially the US branding for Opel as of this year, much as Vauxhall is in the UK and some low-end Holdens are in Australia. All of the current Saturn line are similar or identical to Opels but manufacture is shared. THe Astra and Sky/GT are identical, while the Aura and Vue are similar to their Opel brethren (Vectra and Antara).

Re: Strange *ist-D flash behavior. A quick question for those still using old equipment.
Hi Peter, P. J. Alling wrote: When I mounted a AF280 flash the camera worked perfectly for the first few shots then seemed to be trying to PTTL with that flash, which of course the flash is not capable of doing. I then swapped the flash to the *ist-Ds where it worked as advertised. I was carrying a light kit so my backup flash was an AF200. Out of necessity I decided to try that on the *ist-D and it worked perfectly. Later on I swapped them and the *ist-D once again misbehaved. Has anyone seen this? If so did the fix involve something other than sending the camera out for repair? I've never seen behavior like that using my AF-280T on my *ist D. I'm guessing you've already tried cleaning the contacts on both the flash and the camera's hot shoe? Have you tried using it with the off camera adapters and cable? It sounds to me like there's an intermittent problem in one of the wires on the flash's foot or the camera's shoe.

So I'm planning to use a hand-held GPS system to have breadcrumbs to find my way back to the hotel or train station, or to find inaccessible places I've found on Google Maps and places like that. So should I go ahead and get one here in the US or should I get one over there? Any particular ones to look for or avoid? Oh, and are ushankas common in that area? I love them, but mine is old and a bit too small and I'd like to replace it with a good one made with real leather and fur. And, no, not the sable ones like in the book and movie Gorky Park. :-) Oh, one more ... what are good local color things to bring back as gifts?
