Re: photo of mine in today's NY Times
Paul I made a point that I was donating it to the writer. I thought I had sent it in too late for the paper and she had told my friend she wsa going to use her photo... I don't feel right about going back on that but I do plan to use that shot on my next calendar. I did make it clear the special circumstances were the reason for my donating it .. I didn't get to the memorial... and I wasn't wild about the photo either... because the cat was so obviously on his last paws when I took it.

Buzzing MZ7. Common problem?
Hi Guys and Gals. My MZ7 now makes a buzzing noise instead of the shutter firing. Any Clues? Easy fix? Something stuck? Today, a got hold of a 2nd MZ7, looking to buy for a small sum. Guess what. Makes the exact same noise in place of firing the shutter. Is this a common problem for the MZ7?

GESO: Another kayak race
First gallery from me since last year sometime, I think :/ Sorry if the link wraps... http://www.multisport.net.nz/photos/203-2009-06-21-brass-monkey-race-1.html I used the K10D with FA*24mm f/2.0, FA* 200mm f/2.8, F* 300mm f/4.5 and 43mm Limited lenses. I took most of the photos using the 200mm but I was really struggling for focus as the light was quite dim and I was shooting close to wide- open at 400ASA to get a decent shutter speed. It probably didn't help that I'd left the body in AF-S until quite late in the session. I probably had about 4 out of 5 photos unusable due to being out of focus. On the upside it made editing easy, but this photo is one I'd have really liked to get in focus. http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/temp/got-away.html I'm looking at getting a cheap pair of waders for next time as it was really hard to find a good spot on the river.

Re: Buzzing MZ7. Common problem?
That sounds like what happened to both my MZ-Ms way back; both had to do with some motor which was replaced by Pentax (one was under warranty while the other was not). I can no longer exactly remember why they failed (it happened way back in 2001 or so...although one may have been a quality control issue) but I know it did not have anything to do with batteries. Speaking of batteries, the manual does say that nicads are no-no for the battery pack FG; it does not say why but I do remember something from the Canon motor drive MA (for the A-1/AE-1 Program) manual which also does not allow nicads that it has something to do with a difference in...something (watts? amps? --I forget; I don't have that manual anymore)...which would effectively burn out motors (the motor drive MA does have a separate nicad battery pack which downgrades its performance).

Re: Buzzing MZ7. Common problem?

Re: Raspberries for Boris
Thank you all for the comments! I am not 100% sure they are overexposed. I agree that in the last two, the flash was too harsh. I didn't have a reflector on hand, and I think I decreased the power of the flash but it was still to much from such a small distance. If I remember correctly, there were two reasons I was trying to use a flash: First, as a fill-in flash, because the sun was strong, creating strong shadows. Second, - I was also trying (not shown in these shots), - to get the berries with the blue sky and white clouds as the background. The latter was totally unsuccessful in the time that I could spare for shooting these raspberries. I still think that having the entire berries in focus on the first two shots would be beneficial (in addition to better lighting).

I reckon I should pay a visit to mister Dictionary. Argh. It turns out I made a mistake. What I shot were Blackberries, not Raspberries, though they look similar and taste similar too. I would disagree with the latter. Yours are interesting shots, though they look ever so slightly overexposed to me. I am thinking you used a flash while I haven't.

Re: Fun with a Tokina SL-400 f5.6
I have the SD version of this lens (SD is Tokina's APO) with a P/KA mount. I got a good price for it, so given the little use I give it I'm quite happy. Externally it looks a lot like yours, Tim; very solid build and a smooth focus ring (at least mine has). I've used it in conjunction with the Pentax FA 1.7x TC with mixed results. As one might imagine, it worked OK in very bright conditions, but AF tanked in less-bright scenes.

Re: Buzzing MZ7. Common problem?
I expect that it's a common problem, and might even be easily fixed. However since just opening the case on a camera will probably cost about $100, you have to ask yourself do you feel lucky?
