Re: PDML book is live! (And, damn, you people are GOOD!)
Why did only one of my photos make it? :( We had more photos than pages, which means we had to cut some. In an effort to include absolutely everyone who submitted a photo we only cut out photos from folks who submitted more than one. I would have liked to have been notified. I would have liked to have been able to choose which one was cut. I would have liked anything OTHER than to have my excitement shattered when I discovered my submission had been cut in half. If I'd at least known beforehand it wouldn't have been as bad. I seem to recall a post, but can't find it at the moment, stating that a few people would only get one photo spot, but that they knew about it or would be informed. As it turned out, this is like getting a half-broken xmas gift just before being told Santa doesn't exist. -- 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: Rome?

Re: AF500FTZ and the Program Plus
The Program Plus/Program A does not do TTL flash metering at all, with any flash.

I'm not positive about this, but I don't think so. I don't have either the Program Plus or the AF500FTZ but I do have the Super A (Super Program) and AF330FTZ. This is a similar combination to the Program Plus/AF500FTZ. The Super A/330FTZ combination does not give correct TTL flash exposure and the flash seems to fire at full power irrespective of the aperture set. To get TTL metering with the manual focus bodies (that support TTL) you need something like the old AF400T or AF280T.

RE: PESO - Kertesz in Toronto
You beat me to it. Might I add... Marco Polo was a trader and explorer from the Venetian Republic who gained fame for his worldwide travels, recorded in the book Il Milione (The Million or The Travels of Marco Polo) also known as Oriente Poliano (the Orient of the Polos) and the Description of the World. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Polo Joseph McAllister pentax...@mac.com == I remembered he was famous for going through China, but couldn't remember his nationality (for sure). So didn't say more. Duh, could have wikipedied it. Thanks for the link. I always thought he was a rather fascinating guy. Marnie aka Doe :-) I chose a copy of his book as a school prize for something or other, and I even read it. It's hard-going mostly, but fascinating in parts. The episode that has really stayed in mind is one he recounts of a cold winter's night in some remote part of China. The local headman and his wife had been out to a boozy party with their neighbours. Returning home through the blasting icy snow and blizzard she has to respond to the call of nature, brought on by too much drinking. Having fulfilled her needs she finds herself unable to stand again because the hairs on her dicki-di-do have frozen to the ground. Her husband is a gallant man, so he does the decent thing and gets down on his knees to breathe warm air on her, in the hope of unfreezing her. Unfortunately they haven't really thought this through, and his beard also freezes to the ground. In which position they are found dead the next morning by the rest of the villagers. So the moral of the story is, keep those razors handy when the weather turns cold, people!

In my private life I have never once been confronted by anyone, private or official, and told I couldn't do something. Even last night when I was filming in a large town (story: soldiers dressed in uniform being refused entry by door bouncers to some clubs/ pubs because of dress - filming a group including an actor dressed in military uniform from a discreet distance, with a radio mic on the actor to pick up audio of entry refusal). A beat policeman wandered up (seeing me standing in a doorway with the camera on my shoulder) and with a smile asked me what I was doing and where I was from. I said 'ITV Meridian and doing some filming for a feature on town centres' (truth). I asked him what the police incident van was for (that I had earlier seen parked around the back of a building) and he told me they were swabbing for drugs at some clubs as part of a new initiative welcomed by said clubs. I said I thought we (ITV) had filmed an item on that subject in the past. He did not ask to see my ID (I carry a press card when working) and we joked how if there was any fracas going on worthy of filming he would give me a shout.

Re: My next DSLR wishlist
I'd be happy with a Pentax DSLR that offered a higher frame rate and improved noise reduction. I'd also like a second card slot that provides a redundant recording of data. Putting it in the battery grip would work for me. I'm not particularly interested in full frame, and size is not a major concern. When the new camera comes, it will probably become my primary user, the K20D will be my backup, and the K10D will go on ebay. That's been my use pattern through four DSLRs now, and it seems to be an efficient way of staying up to date and keeping the equipment fresh.

From: Nick David Wright Does the AF500FTZ flash retain TTL metering with the older bodies (such as the Program Plus)? There's nothing in the AF-500FTZ manual about the Program Plus, but there is a statement on page 10 that says: When mounted on non-KAF2 or KAF-mount cameras, the AF500FTZ works only in the manual mode, and dedicated/TTL operation is not possible The manual provides a COMBINATION OF CAMERA'S EXPOSURE MODES AND AF500FTZ The valuse in parentheses ( ) apply to SFX/SF1 and SF7/SF10 only function table that lists Z-1/PZ-1, Z-10/PZ-10, and SF-series cameras. OTOH, the Program Plus manual indicates the AF200T, AF280T and AF400T flash will all work in TTL auto ... So maybe it will, maybe it won't.

Interesting new lens. Voigtlander 20/3.5 Aspherical SLII
http://www.mapcamera.com/sho/search.php?MODE=M_VIEWACT=A_DETAILmap_code=reserve0009172class=01 KA mount coming soon Looks like an alternative to the 21 Limited for those who still shoot film too. No Af of course, but an aperture ring and a well-damped focus ring. If it's anything like the Ultron 40/2 Aspherical it will be a stunning performer. -- M.

There's nothing in the AF-500FTZ manual about the Program Plus, but there is a statement on page 10 that says: When mounted on non-KAF2 or KAF-mount cameras, the AF500FTZ works only in the manual mode, and dedicated/TTL operation is not possible The manual provides a COMBINATION OF CAMERA'S EXPOSURE MODES AND AF500FTZ The valuse in parentheses ( ) apply to SFX/SF1 and SF7/SF10 only function table that lists Z-1/PZ-1, Z-10/PZ-10, and SF-series cameras.

So one suggestion I have, having watched him work and having seen a lot of his shots, is try a bit more for context next time -- environmental portraits. Tell a story. Engage in conversation if that is your approach, but continue shooting more than one frame as you talk and try for a bit more context. The longer you talk and shoot and act more interested in the conversation than the shots, the more relaxed and natural your subject becomes.

I also had the chance to check out The Ice Hotel (which is, well, a hotel made of ice); the ice-carving work done on the walls is impressive, considering the hotel will eventually melt away and be rebuilt next year.

RE: PESO - Jericho snowfall
We had snow on Mt. Diablo yesterday. That's gotta be the first line of your novel. Bob # # # Generally, my favorite type of falling snow is the stuff that is # falling someplace else. # # You'd never make it in Canada! (or Minnesota or Michigan or Illinois # or North Dakota or New England or...) Note that I live in Central California, by the ocean. And if I'd driven to work over Bear Creek road rather than hwy 17, there probably would have been snow on the side of the road. As it was, I guess the snow level was down to about 2000-2500 feet last night as all the local hills seem to have a bit of a dusting of snow on them. We had snow on Mt. Diablo yesterday. A rare occurrence. Of course that was at 3,557 feet, not on the ground. That is an even rarer occurrence.
