Great story -  I'd love to see the place...  I never ate moose, but I 
did eat reindeer sausage in Alaska...
I ate it the first time not realizing it was actually reindeer -  Had 
trouble eating it after I found out it was.
We ate a lot of Chinese food on our auto trips through the Northwest and 
Alaska some amazingly good
stuff in remote places.

Sorry I missed your visit, Fernando!

Fascinating to see what others see in a place I see every day...  
I'm generally not a fan of wide angle lenses  but this was a fun series
6 and 8 jump out at me the most... 8 is a good example of where a wide 
really has
a purpose...  I'd say 6 was my fave tho

Carrying this to the (il)logical extreme ...
If you leave the lenscap on it produces results indistinguishable
from those take with lenses that are far more expensive.

Re: Re: M 2.8 100mm

[Jens]

Thanks, Jostein. I'm glad it's good.It's rather expensive. I've thought it 
would sell for perhaps 75-100 USD. I had never heard of this lens before, when 
the guy asked me. I thought it was an f4 100mm macro lens. Anyway, I'll 
announce it on the list before submitting it to ebay along with some other 
stuff - like a F 70-200mm and a AF500 FTZ flash and a MZ5n body.

Today's excursion brought the Cottrell/Øksne team to the glacier Folgefonna.

Here's Cotty on ice:

Too bad the weather was so poor... Forecast looks better for tomorrow,
and will hopefully grace us with some nice light on the next leg on
our trip. No more glaciers in store, though. We're heading out of the
fjords into the archipelagos.

PESO - Ibex country

hi,

we stopped at this place for a while because a group (?) of ibex
happened to cross the road. unfortunately they were too quick for us.
and where the ibex is, there is bound to be snow leopards. fortunately
for us we didn't run into those. :-)

Thats a good lens. I enjoy mine tremendously.

Thanks for posting the gallery. I especially like the 2nd and 6th  
shots, but appreciate all of them.

It's a good lens. Not a great lens, but a good lens. Wide open it's

GESO: NYC snaps

[Fernando]

I haven't been torturing the list with my shots lately, but as we went
this past weekend to New York City, I didn't want to be less that Doug
and Cotty so here are my NYC snaps ;-)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferand/sets/72157606603761267/show/

I used the trip as an excuse to test drive the DA12-24/4 so all these
photos are shot with that lens and the K10D.

PS: Pitty I missed Ann's gallery for so little...

Hope you like them,

Re: M 2.8 100mm

[AlunFoto]

I have one. Haven't used it since going digital, so I can't really
tell you how it performs with a chip. With film, however, it was my
favourite lens for a long time. It is not very sharp at f/2.8, but
improves very nicely when stopped down to f/4. At least if my sample
was anything to go by. It is also a quite small lens, discreet, if you
like.

I have no idea what it would fetch in an auction, though. Iirc, I
bought mine for NOK 900 in a local shop some 12 years ago. That would
be about USD 180 by today's exchange rate.

PESOs - Cotty on ice

[AlunFoto]

Today's excursion brought the Cottrell/Øksne team to the glacier Folgefonna.

Here's Cotty on ice:
http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/displayimage.php?pos=-122

And a little landscape, just off the beaten track. Which you can see
in the background, actually, in the form of an alpint skiing track.
Still open for business, in August.
http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/displayimage.php?pos=-123

Too bad the weather was so poor... Forecast looks better for tomorrow,
and will hopefully grace us with some nice light on the next leg on
our trip. No more glaciers in store, though. We're heading out of the
fjords into the archipelagos.

Re: Re: M 2.8 100mm

[Jens]

Thanks, Walt
Perhaps I should buy it myself. I already got the 200mm f4 and a 2.5 135mm 
(yummy)...
I thought perhaps it was like the 2.0 85mm - not sharp below f.5.6 og 8... Got 
rid of mine years ago. But I guess it's better than that?

I thought the first one was canceled!  I saw the missing "D" as I hit 
the send button thought it didnt go and fixed it
not good to have accidental misspellings in a pun thread!

... however
I like your interpretation.

PESO 2008 - 125 - GDG

The Clown - Tijuana 2008
Panasonic L1 + Olympus ZD 25mm f/2.8

I love this clown. He's on the roof of almost every "dico" furniture  
store in the Tijuana area and has such an expansive, happy aspect to  
his expression.

Comments and critique always appreciated.

interesting new bag from Lowepro ...

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I happened to see the new Lowepro Flipside advertised in a recent PDN  
issue so I looked it up.

It's a slim backpack arrangement ... two sizes available ... with what  
looks like plenty of space for a day long wander with a complete kit  
(including tripod carrier). Digital camera review did a good review of  
it including a utube video (pentax fans: he shows the 300 model with  
K10D equipment in the video, so watch and cheer and also get a feel  
for how it works with a K10/20D and grip and several lenses... :).

http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=3356&review=lowepro+flipside

I'm impressed. It looks like a good bag for day long walks and  
carrying with minimal stress on back and neck, it's shape and design  
will keep it from catching on doors, walls, etc as you move through  
airports and such. The inverted access means that if you are the type  
that reaches into the bag constantly to change lenses it won't be  
quite so good, but if you tend to work with one or two lenses for  
extended periods of time it should be just right.

Anyway, I found it quite interesting and the price isn't too high...

The D700 certainly looks to be a superb body. Makes me question

lenses ... I'd only need a 35 and a 50 to have a complete Nikon kit

I don't know whether I'm as excited about it as I am about the  
potential of micro-FourThirds, though. Compact, lightweight and fast  
are more my thing.

Re: russian 20mm lenses for pentax mount

[Margus Männik]

Hi,

I have tried both 20mm Mirs and do own Mir-20M. They're both quite good 
on film bodies and K100D, but a little weak (corner resolution issues) 
for K10D. Haven't tried my "20" with K20D.
Mir-20 has two versions and at soviet (and post-soviet) times people 
used to say that older one 
(http://static1.nagi.ee/i/p/46/97/0225469754e645_m.jpg ) was better than 
newer one (http://www.rugift.com/images/mir_20m.jpg).
Mir-47K is much newer design and was destignated for LOMO Almaz 
(semprofessional) K-bayonet bodies. Some say the optical quality is 
improved, others damn the build quality. The sample I tried wasn't any 
better than my Mir-20M. I do have Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/4 
(older, so called zebra-version, M42) in my collection, but  I consider 
it much worse than Mir-20.

BR, Margus
(soviet-era photo-stuff collector)

Re: PESOS: A sequence

[ann sanfedele]

I like the third one best ... but I have to say I have a problem really 
appreciating action shots (any) that freeze the person in action 
totally... I know it is done a lot, but I kinda don't get it... And I 
think what you saw isn't getting recorded.  Maybe just
shooting this kinda thing with a slower shutter speed solves it...  but 
not , of course, if you want to freeze the action :)

Thanks Jack, Brian and Ken for looking and commenting.
The other little girl is just someone Grace latched onto at the park.  
Her first priority is always finding someone to play with. The grown  
up girl is the little blonde's cousin. I gave them a card and told

No-go on my Mac.  Blank screen in Firefox3, and Safari just gives me a  
still frame.  A CUTE still frame, but nonetheless an image not in  
motion!

(blank on IE 5.2 for Mac as well).  Ah well!

Terrific catch, Paul! Well done crisp focus under less than ideal conditions.  
Has to become an album treasure.

Re: OT: Nikon D700

[Paul Stenquist]

A bit yellow/green on the white balance there, but the high ISO  
performance is just outstanding. A local pro who shoots a lot of high  
buck weddings is using one now as a backup to his D3. It's a great  
camera for that type of event.  Heck, it's a great camera for  
anything. But when you have constantly changing light and near dark  
conditions, it's superb.

 G'day All,

 Last night I went to the official West Australian launch for the  
 D700.
 Quite an interesting night & the guest speakers were worth going to
 see.

 Anyway I took one of my old *istD era CF cards with me & had a  
 play.
 Some of the shots I took can be found here:

 

 _DSC0413.JPG - ISO 200
 _DSC0416.JPG - ISO 500
 _DSC0420.JPG - ISO 5000
 _DSC0444.JPG - ISO 1600
 _DSC0446.JPG - ISO 1600
 _DSC0447.JPG - ISO 1600

 All shot using a Nikkor AF-D 35mm f2 lens @ f2 (EXIF data  
 retained for
 those interested).

 These files are straight out of the camera (shooting RAW  
 + .jpg). No
 PP applied to any of them.  I have more interesting examples but  
 they
 were shot on RAW only.

 When I get the time I'll download Nikon's Capture NX & have a play
 with the RAW files.

 Apologies for the OT post, but I thought some might find these  
 interesting.

 Cheers,

 Dave

Probably somewhere in East Europe :D I bet we (in Hungary) still have
shops selling Polaroid film. I will take a look when I have a little time.

Where to find Polaroid stuff (in EU if possible) ??

[Thibouille]

My wife just got the idea of using a Polaroid (good timing isn't it?).
I agree it might be fun after all and involve quite a bit of nostalgia
so why not.

However, I owuld like to know where I could get films at reasonable
prices. I ofund a couple cheap cameras on Ebay, so camera should not
be that hard to find.
Film seems to be sold at awful price on Ebay seems Pola announced they
were dropping the whole thing.

Thank you.

Excellent, Jens.  A future conductor there in the making, without doubt.

I know a lot of people think the 21 fps, 1.6 MP mode of the K20D is
gimmicky - but you've found a good use for it.

The strange thing is that I couldn't view the movie in Firefox 3
(although other Flash-based sites work OK in Firefox 3).  I had to fire
up Internet Explorer to see it  :-(>
