Re: Mike is the man
Hi Charles, Bob, John Francis, & gldnbearz: Yes, the 28mm tip is a point well taken. When I looked at Lightroom (as I mentioned before) I noticed a lot of my shots were in & around the 28mm area when shooting with the DA 16-45mm. I'd love to start looking at used equipment, but truth be told, I'm not confident in my skills in assessing used equipment at all. I suppose with more experience I'll get better at this.

16-50 infinity problem figured out
So, ever since I had my 16-50 serviced to fix the broken barrel... it's not been able to get a focus confirmation at infinity. I've been working around it with the AF-C option, which lets the camera zap it to (nearly) infinity and then it just trips the shutter because I told it to. Well, in preparation for shooting a big concert event on Tuesday night, I decided to put my old Katz-Eye into the K10D. I've heard from more than one source that the DS-designed Katz-Eye underexposes on the K10D but I'll be shooting manual exposure all tomorrow night so exposure issues don't bug me as much as getting the proper focus. Interesting bit I've noticed now that I have a microprism/split prism focus confirmation guide on the screen is that the darned thing CANNOT focus on infinity. I can get very very close, but any vertical fenceposts or other obvious focus-confirmation guidelines show me that I can get the lens to ALMOST get to the infinity mark, but not quite there. (sigh) So, the obvious reason for not getting a focus confirmation lock on infinity is that the lens cannot get that far.As the warranty repair of the barrel states that the repairs/adjustments are warranted for a year, it's time to send the sucker back. Even when mounted on my ME-Super I can see that the lens does not quite get to the infinity spot. Heck, if this wasn't still under warranty I'd figure out how to adjust it myself - but shoot, how can someone MISS something this obvious when servicing a lens??? My oft-repeated mantra: "I just want people to do their jobs". I'm a little bit more than annoyed that Pentax service let the lens come back to me with such an obvious mis-adjustment. Such is life, I suppose. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- 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.

Hello list. Well, would you believe it, it's almost ten years to the day when I joined this list. I had an LX and wanted to re-cell a NiCad pack for the motor drive. Someone pointed me to Rob Studdert's page and the rest, as they say, is history. Since that time there's been plenty of water under the bridge. I sold the Pentax film gear, bought into Canon with a D60, adapted some K mount lenses to fit and been called a few names... Everything changes, and all good things must come to an endwith other good things starting up. >From next week I'm putting all my Canon gear up for sale. I've decided to buy into Sony. Actually Sony HD ;) Not stills gear - video. I'm taking precious few stills these days and to be honest, not enjoying it as much as I used to. I feel a change of priorities coming on... And so I will be concentrating more on video production, acquiring some new gear and need to pay for it. I'll have a list of kit up next week and of course will offer to the PDML first, but fear not - the K15/3.5 and the A*85/1.4 in EF mount will not be amongst them. I'm going to hang onto those and in a year or two hope to pick up a used 1Ds mark II full-frame camera. Everything else with Canon on it will be up for sale. I'll keep my rangefinder and three lenses for snaps. I just won't be photographing with a DSLR for a while. I'll keep the website going. If it ain't broke, right... With a bit of luck and a fair wind I can claw back about two and a half grand (GBP) and then I'll be half-way there to funding an HD video camera.

Re: Sigma 50-500 f/4-f/6.3
"Anyone have experience with this lens?" Comments from users all seem favorable. (This is mainly at dpreview, so the standards are not exacting.) As an alternative to a 600 mm. prime (many thousands of $$) it seems to give satisfactory value for the money. On Pentax it would AF with the shaft drive.

That's an indication that you're using the wrong lens, and need to buy something else to extend your capabilities :-) While I will admit that many of my shots with the 16-50 seem to be taken at 50mm, there are a good number of them taken at 30 or 31mm (maybe I need the 31mm limited?), and quite a few at 34 or 35mm. Other focal lengths get used less often, but I do seem to be covering most of the range. Similarly, with my 80-200, there are a lot at 200, but also a fair number at intermediate focal lengths. -- 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: Mike is the man
Hi Christine, Chiming in here to ditto what Bob said about using a 28mm. Oftentimes for me, the 50mm is too close for what I want. I switch out to the FA 28/2.8 - for me, this is a light weight, compact set-up, especially on the istDS. If I really have to bring one small lens, this is it. Try it out, you might really like it too.

Well, most of them anyway. This weekend I walked with a friend from the source of the Thames to Lechlade, about 25 miles (40km). We spread the walk over 2 days, and he is now continuing by kayak to Greenwich, where he expects to arrive on Sunday next with the ebbing tide. Here are some of the pictures from the weekend: http://www.web-options.com/TP2008/ The source itself is the very dry stone monument, picture 4. Picture 7 shows Lyd Well, which is where the water first flows permanently, a few hundred yards from the source. It is, however, a well not a spring. I think the Romans dug it. The cows seem to too.

Re: Mike is the man
Christine, You should try a manual focus 28mm lens. Shoot with it for a while to see how you like it. The wider angle on digital gets close to a normal lens on film. I've been using the 31mm Limited more than the DA16-45/4. (Problem with the zoom is it goes to one extreem or the other.) Regards, Bob S.

Re: What is it?
Thanks. The Solitary Sandpiper looks like a match. Although according to the Cornell map, he would be about 400 miles too far south. They show the Sandpipers only in the upper peninsula of Michigan. But he might be migrating and just stopped in to visit the Egret:-).
