PESO: View from The Pavilion
While shooting virtual tours for real estate, I sometimes come across unusual buildings. I shot tours at a building in downtown Detroit the other day that surprised me. Built in 1957, it struck me as having been well ahead of its time. The architectural style looked familiar, so I checked when I got home and discovered that it was designed by Mies van der Rohe and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The exterior of the 20 story apartment building is mostly windows, framed in metal. The lobby is all black marble. It's in excellent condition and 95% occupied. The building is situated at the eastern edge of downtown, and its framed by a nice little park. The attached pic is the view from a 15th floor apartment. You can see the GM building (formerly the Renaissance Center and quite possibly soon to be something else) at the far left. Ford Field, the domed stadium, is at the far right. The shot is a composite of three frames from the pano I shot in this apartment. They're 16mm verticals, f13 @ about 1/4 second, ISO 200.

image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF?
I was looking for data on the available 180~200mm 2.8 lenses for K and EF mounts, and found some story about how the DA* 200 2.8 is related to the former 200mm full frame and so it possibly would cover said full frame. That got me wondering if one of the tech-oriented actually knows the image circle dimensions for the DA lenses, and how much is missing. I know the difference should be proportional to the difference from APS-C to 24x36mm, but would like ko know the size and borderline falloff evolution on the DA lenses.

But, as Ned Bunnell point out in his blog entry on the forthcoming camera, there's a difference between covering an image circle and covering it well. The DA lenses are not designed for sensors of that size, so things such as corner resolution, distortion, etc. may not be sufficiently high. (There again, as he also mentions, some older lenses may also fall short in that regard, even though they were designed for use on film cameras). -- 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: image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF?
- Original Message - From: John Francis Subject: Re: image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF? Above some focal length (well below 200mm) it's likely that just about any lens will have an image circle easily large enough to cover 36x24mm. But, as Ned Bunnell point out in his blog entry on the forthcoming camera, there's a difference between covering an image circle and covering it well. The DA lenses are not designed for sensors of that size, so things such as corner resolution, distortion, etc. may not be sufficiently high. (There again, as he also mentions, some older lenses may also fall short in that regard, even though they were designed for use on film cameras). There has been a rather protracted and sometimes heated debate about this on ForumNeurotica over the past day or two. The best arguement that the naysayers can come up with is that wide open corner performance isn't good enough on some lenses, so the entire full frame sensor idea must be wrong. The worst argument that they've been able to make is the old Pentax is a small company that can't afford it, the market is too small, blah blah blah The more sensible people are of the opinion that stopping down a bit will cure most problems, that some lenses don't perform well, but others do, proving only that some lenses are better than others, and that Nikon, Canon and Sony seem to be doing fairly well making 35mm full frame DSLR cameras, and that there seems to be a lot of people adapting full frame Pentax lenss to their digital EOS cameras and getting good results. It looks to me like Ned is saying what he is being told to say by his political masters, and not what he might say as a photographer. Perhaps the whole Leica D-Lux fiasco caused Pentax to rein in their wild horse a little, and got him start talking more like the president of a camera company.

Re: Canary Wharf
2009/4/28 Bob W p...@web-options.com: Yes, it's the same place. In fact, Cotty did not know about the foot tunnel until this weekend, and know you've posted a photo of the entrance. Did I post it before? Can't recall. :-) I know I made a PUG entry (equinox photo, iirc) of the Millenium Dome by placing the camera on a sill outside a window in the pub. That was made on film, so before autumn-2003. It's a photogenic place down there. With the hmmm... maritime museum? too, with the twin buildings. This is the Cutty Sark pub, which you may recognise: http://www.web-options.com/Greenwich/content/_C086771_large.html Indeed. :-) When you took that picture you must have been standing in about the same place I was when I took this, in another direction: http://www.web-options.com/Greenwich/content/L1030025_large.html Pretty much, I think. There were some 1 metre high metal poles, probably to prevent cars from entering, and I rested the camera on one of them. Pretty close to the scaffolding around the Cutty Sark ship. Too bad it burned, btw. Here's another view of Canary Wharf: http://www.web-options.com/Greenwich/content/_C086761_large.html It's so cool how those buildings generate cloud formation in their wake. :-) Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.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: image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF?
Guess I will have to read that debate... Bottom line - never mind a full frame dslr isn't available from Pentax and most likely will never be - wich current (DA included) Pentax lenses would cover almost entirely a FF sensor OR a 35mm film frame?? That's my interest - how poorly illuminated would be a 35mm film frame exposed with current Pentax lenses... in particular those ending in the 135~200mm range, 2.8 aperture preferred. That idea that most of the above XXmm DA lenses have larger enough image circles actually puts the there is no lens support to FF on the roadmap statement under fire. Granted there are other considerations, but all the same, the [image circle - light fallof] limit may be not so real, for good part of the lenses.

RE: image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF?
If some dont cover full frame than its pretty obvious to me that DA lens series is not intended nor guanateed for full frame usage, they are for APS usage. Just like some K series full frame lenses could work on larger formats than but were not sold nor intended for use on larger formats than 35mm. I would think that the DA lens series is NOT for full frame usage according to pentax.

RE: image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF?
The other thing to note is well designed lenses for a specific format (like APS format and DA lenses)many times could optically work but because they are designed for smaller formats may have good baffling and front rings that will vignette if used on a larger format like FF.

RE: image circle of DA lenses: how much smaller than FF?
I will give an example how optical design and superior flare reduction in the mechanical design can conflict. The SMCK 105/2.8 AND SMCK120/2.8 are same optical design with the SMCK120 just scaled up. What this means is optically the SMCK120 would have a larger image circle than the SMCK105/2.8 BUT since both lenses have built in rectangular baffles in the back designed only for the 24mmx36mm full frame film format, you cant use either on larger than 24x36mm formats and the 120SMCK usable image circle is NOT any larger than the 105mm because of the baffle limitations which were intentional and improve perfomance when used on the 24x36mm format as designed.

And by the way - yes, it is 100% usable with AF film body. Even 101% as my Z-1p focuses automatically with 2x Kenko TC. Slowly, but firmly.
