RE: PESO: Two re-posts
They did get through. I'm surprised you didn't get any comments. The shot of the tower doesn't do much for me, but I like the shot from the tower - very atmospheric. I don't remember seeing the shot of the couple kissing. It's a nice holiday shot. But what interests me is the riverside. I've never been on the Rhine, as far as I remember, but I like the way it's so open for access, and how nice the old architecture etc. looks. This interests me because I live so close to the Thames, and the area closest to my house is a building site at the moment while they redevelop everything and 'improve' the riverside walk. I don't think it'll be as nice as the one in your picture though.

Please don't tell me you don't care, subject is clear so if you don't want to know or discuss anything, don't read ! * BEGIN RUMOUR NEWS * In the current state of things (if that can be said for rumours), Pentax is beleived to introduce at least one new camera around Photokina, possibly two. There're a no details about this/these camera(s) but it should be fairly easy to speculate if anyone wants to. * if one camera - budget camera (e.g. K1000D) or high end (K1D/K5D)... * if two camera, seems clear it would be those two except if Pentax feels they need to upgrade K200D or K20D but it seems doubtful to me. * END RUMOUR NEWS * One usualy good source has confirmed that at least one camera was coming, without giving any detail (NDA as usual). At least two Pentax distributors have indeed confirmed to a couple users that the 60-250 wouldn't be there before Photokina :( :( That's it (much isn't it?) you can get back to your usual stuff. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

RE: PESO: Watching
It does one good to see traditional BW every now and again, to give some benchmark tonalities against which to compare our digital efforts. How was the image digitized? Is this a scan from the film, or from a print? If a print, was it conventional enlargement or Frontier (or similar) printing? IMO the picture is too elongated, which kills its compositional dynamics. I realize it's an uncropped frame, with all the altruistic baggage that attaches, but to my eye the space from a little way below the intersection of the awning with the left border is superfluous. Crop it there, and a tiny bit at the top to compensate, and the composition will jump right off the screen. Nevertheless, I love it.

For that reason, I stick to PEF format, reasonably compact, fully specified (including all the exif data as they are written by the camera, not transcoded by out-of-control software which could lead to unwelcome suprise) and fully supported by Adobe. On a side note: I've noticed that when converting RAW to JPG with ACR on a dedicated PC (either single conversion or batch), the time of shooting is retained and it's shown by Windows Explorer set on Details mode, while if I do batch conversion in background while working on other software, all converted images look like shot at 00.00 time.

I'm willing to donate part of my stuff which isn't used for reasons easy to understand (old/not much interesting) and which would probably not generate any revenu on Ebay anyway. I suppose some beginners to photography might find that interesting, at least for a start. Stuff offered for free: - Ricoh KR10X (or XR10 I think it is the same camera) - non-SMC ! , Pentax-A 28-80 f/3.5-4.5 (one rubber is nicked, otherwise it is good state). - Tamron 28/2.5 with hood but without Adaptall2 adapter. - Tamron 135/2.8 (early adaptall1 but works with adaptall 2) - Tamon adaptall Pentax K adapter (without the stops reminder for in-viewfinder reading) - Tamron 85-210/4.5 macro 1:3 (early adaptall1 but works with adaptall 2) - Chinon 28/2.8 (bad shape but usable) - Chinon 50/1.4 (bad shape but usable) Stuff I wanna get rid of. Make me an offer, as I said I don't expect much million dollars (hehe) for those but just wouldn't let them go for nothing : - Chinon 300/5.6 - Pentax P30t - Pentax Z1 - AF240FT - SMC Pentax-M 50/1.4 (I have another already) - SMC Pentax FA 100/3.5 macro (1:2) - Tamron Adaptal2 SP 70-210/3.5-4 macro (1:2) which I would bundle with a rare adaptal2 P-KA adapter (providing same compatibility as a A-type Pentax lens).

Re: Rumours, rumours...
Not much after PMA there was a 'rumour' that german Pentax fan forum users met the german Pentax guys to test the K20D and they said there will be two new Pentax cams at Photokina, one with 3 digits and one with 1 digits. So K2D (since K1D existed as a prototype) is very probable and I hope the 3 digit one is the 645D (remember PMA? There was a hint about 645D). I believe the K2D will use the new Full Frame Samsung CMOS and hopefully not targeted to be a competitor to the Pro (Canon EOS 1D MarkIV/Nikon D3) level but the EOS 5D/D700. K1000D low budget cam? I don't really think that would be necessary. The K200D is very well placed in the budget category (it's cheap enough but with only a few compromises need to made). A few bucks cheaper cam would make no sense at all to me (like Canon EOS 1000D...) since so far Pentax seemed to me to target quality over marketing features. An entry-level MF camera would be a big hit and nowadays the technology is ready for a cheaper production. If Pentax could manage to sell it around a bit higher than the EOS 1Ds MarkIV (approx 10K$) then it could easily take place next to the Pro Level DSLRs of Canon and Nikon. Lens are already available for the 645 system... So let's hope :D Also at http://www.pentaximaging.com/purchase/find_a_store you can still see the product category: digital medium format.

BTW: Though there's much clamor for a full-frame camera (still a couple of years away, IMO), my experience with the K20D has been so good I think its sensor and electronics *as is* could be the basis for a serious pro camera - it's that good. Just drop the K20D sensor/electronics into a heavy duty body, give it an upgraded shutter/mirror box assembly (shorter mirror black-out, faster flash sync, higher frame rate, etc.) and you'd have a real contender, whether it's called a K1D or not. -- 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.
Re: Rumours, rumours...
Over here, the K200D is massively overpriced. It's not a budget camera at all. I can get a Nikon D40 for under $450CDN, or a Sony A200 (which matches or exceeds the K200D in all regards except weather sealing) for $500 or less, both of those with their respective kit lenses but a K200D just dropped to $700, still $50 more than the A200 _Launched_ at. Needless to say, nobody's buying K200D's in Canada. It's been a massive failure. And US pricing is WORSE for Pentax (K200D is $800 with $100 mail in rebate, A200 is $500).

I believe the K2D will use the new Full Frame Samsung CMOS and hopefully not targeted to be a competitor to the Pro (Canon EOS 1D MarkIV/Nikon D3) level but the EOS 5D/D700. K1000D low budget cam? I don't really think that would be necessary. The K200D is very well placed in the budget category (it's cheap enough but with only a few compromises need to made). A few bucks cheaper cam would make no sense at all to me (like Canon EOS 1000D...) since so far Pentax seemed to me to target quality over marketing features. An entry-level MF camera would be a big hit and nowadays the technology is ready for a cheaper production. If Pentax could manage to sell it around a bit higher than the EOS 1Ds MarkIV (approx 10K$) then it could easily take place next to the Pro Level DSLRs of Canon and Nikon. Lens are already available for the 645 system... So let's hope :D Also at http://www.pentaximaging.com/purchase/find_a_store you can still see the product category: digital medium format.

The problem is that so many features are implemented in software now that it's difficult for anyone to justify removing the extra automation. I wouldn't be surprised if economies of scale make producing a manual focus body more expensive than an autofocus one, just because the MF would sell in such small numbers, though I suppose you could cripple the AF in the firmware. The only hope is that there are enough high schools and colleges that would buy such a camera to make it a viable business proposition.

I indeed think that LiveView is mandatory or about on a low-end camera, just because guys from PS will be happy. More importantly, it needs cheap price and very good marketing exposure.

OT - Question to birding people
Gang, Tim and I are puzzled by a behavioural trait in the Great Skua at Runde, which we can't find any good explanation for on the web. The skua is a rather aggressive bird, known to dive-bomb people coming too close to the nest. However, at Runde the birds would also frequently sit down on the path, and keep sitting until people come quite close; up to a couple of meters. The most likely candidate explanations, imo, are: 1. This is a beginning predator diversion behaviour, that the bird will fly up, move away from the nest and sit down again to lure people away from the nest. 2. This is simple territory marking; here i reign, don't step closer. 3. Predator inspection behaviour. 4. habituation to human presence. Would appreciate all kinds of ideas and pointers, since the implications for disturbing the nests are quite different, depending on the reason for the behaviour.

Re: OT - Question to birding people
The Dodo's problem was that it didn't understand the concept of a predator. Many animals do predator inspection, ranging at least from sticklebacks to zebras. It usually looks like showing off to the predator. Kinda like a hey you, catch me if you can game. :-) In the skua case I don't think it's likely, but I wanted the suggestion on the table anyway.

Re: Rumours, rumours...
Aah, just when the rumor mill had ceased to grind, it's restarted. I know that it won't happen but this is what I'd like to see a K1000D. 1. A glass pentaprism with a good manual focus screen, (no autofocus at all). 2. A 10-14mp sensor, 3.) An exceptional metering system, but with the ability to lock out all automation, (just allow manual exposure, maybe hyper manual as well). 4.) Good ergonomics, and solid build, much like the original K1000D was really a stripped down Spotmatic F with a K mount, or a KM lacking a few features. Though unlike the K1000 I'd want there to be a DOF lever somewhere. In other words a a true student camera, (most student items are so cheaply made and poorly designed, that they actually discourage learning). IYet capable of producing with good lenses, the finest quality image the format allows. At the same time it should force the the student photographer to learn something about exposure, and the relationship between aperture shutter speed and ISO.. No frills at all. In other words everything tjhat is necessary, nothing that isn't. Alas what I expect. 1.) A 6mp Sensor. camera. 2.) Full exposure automation, possibly only Program mode. 3.) A mirrorprism with either SDM or screwdriver autofocus, though not both, and possibly no provision for manual focus at all. 4.) A a pitifully small buffer and slow write speed. 5.) Every bell and whistle that can be crammed into the firmware, with fewer external controls. Menu driven like a PS. For a K2D, (I expect that they'll use the current naming conventions), I have no idea. The only thing I can see that might be in the immediate offing is a higher frame rate and more responsive autofocus, sort of like the Nikon D700, but with an APS-C sensor. I expect that's why there's been a recient price drop in the K20D, to have room at the top for a $1400.00-1700US, camera with an original introduction price of something like $1999.99 Heck maybe it will be called the K20D Super...

Since I refuse to use PPB/L as it is junk software anyway, the question is moot. I capture in PEF format and convert to DNG on the fly when importing to Lightroom. That renders the correct results for my workflow: compressed RAW files in the camera and properly formatted DNG files on the computer. There's nothing missing from the DNG files created this way, and what private data that Lightroom/ Camera Raw/Bridge might not use is not of any consequence to me.

It's kinda stupid, since Adobe has already done the legwork on compressed DNG files and all the camera companies have to do is insert Adobe's compression code into their own software (it was released as open source, was it not?). The Adobe Digital NeGative format specification is not open source: it is publicly disclosed, patented specification with a zero-cost license fee, in perpetuity, much like the TIFF specification. While a subtle distinction, it is important. Here are the information links: http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/photoshop/articles/phscs2dngspec/ phscs2dngspec.pdf The DNG compression algorithm is encompassed by the specification, but it takes more horsepower to implement than most camera devices are designed with. There are, of course, also always issues with compression/decompression coding which require a great deal of additional testing. For this reason, Adobe recommends device manufacturers to output uncompressed DNG files, minimizing processing power requirements and the possibility of errors in the compression implementation. Handling compressed DNG on a computer should be no difficulty at all, given proper testing. I suspect more that Pentax intentionally does not process DNG files that it does not produce to limit their risks and testing requirements, and perhaps for other marketing reasons. That doesn't make it any less a defective implementation in my view either.

Re: Traffic, what traffic?
Good one, Paul. He looks a little heavy for that scooter--ya know, I think scooters are dangerous: they sit low to the ground making them hard to see; they make very little noise--noise is a good safety feature; they have very little speed for emergency situations--speed can be used in emergency situations; and sitting on a 2-wheeler as if sitting on a chair somehow seems like bad balance to me. You wouldn't get me on one of those things! Anyway, nice picture, Paul.

Suggestion for Pentax Photo Gallery
They should start charging us (the Gallery participants) a dollar per photo for uploads! Maybe five dollars... No, I'm not serious (though I'd gladly pay it for the 1 or 2 photos per month that I submit) but it would sure cut down on people uploading 10 nearly-identical vacation snapshots. Or flowers. Or shots of their kids. I do find voting on submitted photos very educational and it definitely helps my eye, but the ratio of thumbs up to thumbs down is taking a big turn for the worse. I used to average 1 in 5 yes votes. Now I think it's below 1 in 10. -- 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.
