Re: Amusing square-format dSLR rumor
Still, strictly speaking a square is indeed a rectangle. For all intend and purposes, it is confusing to talk about a rectangle when it is also a square.

RE: Amusing square-format dSLR rumor
A square is a special rectangle, but it IS a rectangle. I just googled it last night, nowhere in any of the definitions does it say that a rectangle has to have any requirements on side lengths. Its just has to have all 4 corners at 90 degreees. There is differentiation, the square is a subset or special rectangle, but to say a square is NOT a rectangle is not correct per any definition geometric or otherwise. I dont know where you are getting this UNequal adjacent length requirement from, but its not case. thats the crux of the argument. Squares and rectangles are not exclusive, squares are just a special rectangle with all four sides equal lenght.

Probably a fab constraint. These all have to come out of (usually) 200mm or 300mm circles, remember; that's the size of the silicon wafer in the fab. The chip is going to be larger than the sensor area and the die (the chunk of silicon with the chip on it) is going to be larger than the chip area. So I'd bet 54mm x 54mm is the biggest sensor area they can get into a ~60mm square die; three across on 200mm, four across on 300mm. (Can't go right up to the edges.) At less than fifteen per 300mm wafer with perfect yield rates, this would NOT be a cheap sensor. But, hey, purely rumour so far.

Re: Amusing square-format dSLR rumor
I guess many rumours have some truth behind them - and they hardly come true anyway. I'd pass a square sensor for my current uses. For me, the best format would be 3:4, but I can live with 35mm and with APS formats. About lens coverage, I believe many FF lens would be easily offered simply by re-issuing some key lenses already designed. And those lenses are very good, aren't they? I suspect those sensors - both the FF and at least two different, square aspect samples are already available, and perhaps the new Pentax Digital Flagship is just waiting some good moment to be released. Not so sure they will come out, with everybody afraid of the big, bad crisis. Just wondering... what is the usual image circle for DA, FF and 645 lenses? And how could we make the best use of those circles?

Re: The PDML Annual Has Arrived!
Most of the material that the gannets find are actually nylon ropes from all sorts of martime activities. Hard to collect for recycling. But of course there is debris blown onto the waves from land based households and enterprises too. Much of that is recycled, but far from all. One of the things I have a personal gripe with is plastic-wrapped heybales (aka. tractor eggs). Many farmers leave them outdoors for livestock to forage on when out. The animals tear off the plastic in pieces, which is then distributed with the wind.

teleconverter experiment
I did a quick experiment yesterday with my bigma and teleconverters, and posted some examples and my notes at dpr: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1036thread=31052869 The question was, for extreme telephoto am I better with cropping, or using a teleconverter, or multiple TCs. The answer seems to be it depends. It seems to depend on a lot of factors, and I bet that the results would be different with a 14mp K20 than with my 6mp K100, or a D700. Despite the rig being on a tripod, I also probably should have tried bumping the ISO, or maybe even under exposing some more. I think I still got motion blur. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157614103063616/ I could also try some tests at night, with a resolution chart target and a flash to minimize motion blur. Then again, there's optical performance and real world performance. It's still fun to play with. The real result is that if you need that much magnification, you aren't going to get clear photos on the cheap. It's still fun to experiment with to get some idea what the limits really are. -- It's not the steps in the dance, it's the dance in the steps.

They must teach you some strange things in your schools. JCO is quite correct - at least, our schools taught us that a rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles, so a square is a rectangle. A rectangle with unequal sides is an oblong. Bob C'mon, Bob. You're putting me on, right? Or making jokes. An oblong is a squashed circle. keith ...with the corners kicked out. And, of course, a circle is an ellipse, so by working backwards we have in fact squared the circle.

USA Purchase request
Hi team, I wouldn't ask if I didn't need the help, but I've exhausted every avenue here... I need a special bluetooth headset that I can't get here in the UK, and sadly ALL the (few) US suppliers don't ship abroad. Would someone be willing to purchase the item from a USA web site, receive the item, send to me in the UK? I will of course reimburse all expenses, either by Paypal (including fees) or by cold cash. We're talking about 70 bucks for the headset plus postage etc. Appreciate it. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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: Amusing square-format dSLR rumor
If one were to cram a square sensor into a 35mm-based body, wouldn't the size of the mirror need to be increased vertically (assuming the sensor is the same height and width as the width of the current sensor Pentax uses)? This is the reason I doubt a square sensor'd dSLR is on the way. The whole mirror box system would have to be redesigned to accommodate the larger mirror without pushing the lens mount further out. I don't think Pentax could afford that kind of major RD. I could be wrong, though. I don't know the actual dimensions or any related technical details. It just seems incredibly unlikely to me, even though it's a pretty cool idea.
