OT PESO (Sorta') - New Day
G'day All, A group of friends got together for a movie marathon/sleep over at an art space on of them manages. The last movie finished at about 4:30am me and another guy weren't tired so we went wandered the streets taking photos for an hour or so. Interesting time to be in the Saturday night party district. The time when the hardcore revellers are winding down the cities cleaning crew get started. Anywho, when we got back my mate was tired crashed. Leaving me to amuse myself.

Graydon wrote: On Sat, Mar 07, 2009 at 12:40:32PM +, mike wilson scripsit: The ribbon cable part of the integrated electronic might be slightly problematic but, really, if you gave the average person a gear wheel or a piece of electronic whizzery and asked them to make you a couple of hundred of each themself would their reaction be any different? Both require people with specialist skills and equipment. By far the hardest part of the electronics to reproduce is the code. Everything else is rattled off production lines in factories by the bucketfull. This year's ICs are, yes; those from five years ago, not so much, those from 10 years ago, hardly at all. What digital really means is that all the complexity that used to live in the chemical plant that made the film has moved into the camera. We are not so much talking about digital versus film as purely mechanical cameras versus electro-mechanical ones. Any give camera represents a very specific slice through the state of the technology; a custom image engine chip on a custom PCB (printed circuit board) with a funny shape, done to whatever process would do the job and was cheapest at the time. There isn't any way anybody is going to replicate that on a hobby basis. (Military procurement sometimes gets stuck trying to do that, and it functions even more like lighting bushels of money on fire than military procurement usually does.) So I really doubt there's going to be a small-shop digital camera rebuild business going; if the tech gets good enough that this is physical possible at all (put copper wire, sand, and random bits of junk in the fabber, get ICs out, tech) the small shop guys will be custom-making cameras for the retro crowd who hate the idea of having recorders on their optic nerves. Leaving fantasy aside... I'm not sure I agree with you. The rebuild business will undoubtedly be small scale. It's the production of spare parts that will have to be significantly larger, both to provide for a market of numerous small scale workshops and to meet the demands of a producer requiring significant production runs. On the purely physical side of the electronic spare part, the only part that is likely specific to that particular part is the shape of the ribbon cable bit. All the rest will be standard electronic parts. If you have a pattern, or the file needed for setup of the machine, it would be very easy to set up for a run of parts. Ask the people who are doing this for a living, commonly known as pirates these days. Possibly the hardest bit will be reverse engineering the code to go in the chips. All of this assuming that there is a viable market and the intellectual copyright holder is in agreement or it has lapsed. -- 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.

The image is dominated by large natural rock outcrops which loom menacingly from the left and by the large turnbuckle and spring that dominates the foreground. Above, the suspension bridge leads the eye into the forest, in much the same way as it leads the walker further up the mountain.

The world could use more folks like you. It would be a kinder and happier place. That's very kind of you to say Christine. I can remember the feeling I got when I posted my first pic for folk to look at, I think it was in the days before PESO. It was a bit like launching a rocket - head down as you did the deed, then wait for the dust to clear to see what impact it had. Then one or two comments would return, and it was a thrill. I found the book to be such a landmark for us as a group, and the comments that i have seen since have (rightly) reflected well on its production, but few actual remarks as to the brilliance of the photographs inside it. I know how satisfying it is to receive praise, and so I thought I would put something back into the group. Not that I would lavish praise just for the sake of it - I truly believe that every picture deserves to be in that book. It's a real triumph of achievement when you think that it was put together by people sitting at computers in different parts of the world, out doing what they enjoy.

Re: First real workout of the K20
Don't feel to bad, I have been using digital cameras since 1997, and still have trouble figuring stuff out. Want proof, read some of my old posts.:-) One thing i have learned, and it cost me a lot of money to find this out, is one camera cannot do all of what i want, so I'm a two system shooter now. My D1, D1H and D2h are all better for my equine work. That is not to say the K10D does not work, it does, but the other cameras do a better job in AF and buffer, etc. For flash work, the D200 and SB800 flash is the one for me. For rural landscapes, K10D or D200, both work well. Once you knwo what the limits are and work around's for them, you'll be fine.

PESO: Can't post to the list, Prague, Puerto Vallarta, Better beamer.
Hello everyone. I just can't post to the list. I receive well for sure. See below. I don't understand why all this is happening. Perhaps this one will make it. So here are my previous ones: 1) Did someone ever use a better beamer with a Pentax flash AF 540? Is it really working? I suppose that you have to be close to your subject (lets say 20 feet), isn't? Other question: what are must places for photos around Puerto Vallarta Mexico? 2) Is it normal to receive more than 20 posts a day from the list? I made the choice to receive the digest mode . Am I doing something wrong ? Is the list always fonctional? How come some of my posts don't go through and that I don't reveive a post acknowlegement message everytime I am sending a message? What are the rules to follow for sending post to the list? Does the list reject some posts? 3) Correct link to Prague photos http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=898729 Thank you Mr Brian Walters for indicating me a bad web link. And to answer your question, the guy with a red jacket and amonkey is begging, playing music to the crowd and selling cards if I remember well. 4) Finally, here are some other pictures of Prague, a very nice trip that we made my wife and me in July 2008. I took several pictures of all those beautiful architectural ornaments, of the open places so particular in Europe. I took also several pictures of St-Nicolas church, of the painting as well. All taken with a Pentax K20D, with a 200 mm lens for the most part. http://gallery.me.com/gaetanbeauchamp Thank you all.

Re: Out Now - PDML Photo Annual 2008/9 REVIEW
I once wrote a commercial for Mercedes-Benz that revolved around the idea of a slide show. The spot consisted of a guy projecting slides of his family vacations for a group of friends, who were seen as foreground silhouettes. He went through slides of vacations that spanned more than a dozen years, and the same Mercedes sedan appeared in all of the slides.

It's a savage criticism of mankind's abuse of the natural world, combined with a rosy look at how nature copes with our intrusion. Or something. Not that I'm putting words into Josteins art, you understand. I did notice some of the detritus but thought it was too subtle to be what Jostein meant - Norwegians tend to do things on grand scales (q.v. fiddly bits ;) thanks for that. BTW. I have seen some of the pictures before, posted to the list. All appear _much_ better on the printed page. Particularly Bill Robb's sunken bicycle. I have to agree - much better. Computer screens are good but the printed page still holds the edge in photography. I still prefer projected slides for sheer magnificence. -- 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. -- 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. -- 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: DA*60-250
I have it confirmed by TeKaDe the price of the 60-250 will be 999 euros or perhaps even less then that. Sometimes I wonder if the 50-135 wouldnt be a better choice, given an extra stop and it is available.

I see a Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 SP Di-LD for 599 euro, and a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 II EX DG APO HSM for 659 euro, this lens has hypersonic drive. Anyone that has experience with either one of these? I know you are referring to the 80-200 here for $1700, but for that money, i can get a D300 and drip, and use lenses i already have.:--) I hear the 60-250 will sell around $1200-1300, some were around there. I think that's to much, considering i can now get a 50-135 for less than 1K here.

Re: Peso: Warning - cat photo
Christine, You've got to let them in on the secret. LSD is the acronym for Lake Shore Drive, a 6 lane highway up the north shore of Chicago's lakefront. It's conjested every morning and evening rush, but a beautiful drive. It was imortalized in some song or another, but not very 'imortalized' I guess. Regards, Bob S.
