Re: First thoughts: GPS, geocoding (Mac, Lightroom)
Why not Jeffrey Friedl's Lightroom plugin http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/gps - it seems to work fine - you can use a GPX tracklog to geoencode or manually geoencode from Google Earth or conversely, show a location in Google earth when you have encoded information already tagged to the file.

Re: First thoughts: GPS, geocoding (Mac, Lightroom)
Brian, if you want a GPS logger only it will be a lot cheaper but will work just for that. I do use (and I know Ralf does as well) a Garmin GPSMap 60cx which recently plummeted price. Garmin eTrex range is known as well to be good devices. You may want to think about the intended uses of this device, it will help chosing the good one.

Re: First thoughts: GPS, geocoding (Mac, Lightroom)
There are multiple solutions, including some small devices (mouse-like) which became quite commoncalled gps loggers and full featured GPS devices. Another GPS device could be your cell phone. More and more of them does have a GPS built in. I have made a small and easy to use gps logger for Windows Mobile smartphones. It log in standard gpx format. A version for touch screen based devices are here: http://download.heime.org/GPSlogger_setup.CAB And a version for smartphone without touchscreen are here: http://download.heime.org/GPSlogger_Smartphone_setup.CAB Both are free to use. I have tested it on HTC phones. My HTC S740 can log for up to 8 hours on a full battery.

Re: The K7 roadshow came to town today ...
I was at the K7 tour at the San Francisco stop today where I ran into John Celio. Neither of us won the K7. It would be nice if a PDML member won one. I got to play with the K7 and found it to my liking with respect to size (smaller lighter than Kx0D) and low shutter/mirror noise (John called it a hamster sneeze). I also got to play around with several lenses that I would probably not otherwise be able to handle: DA 60-250 (I expected it to be bigger) DA 15 (nice and small), DA 55 (not sure what I would do with it) DA 17-70 (much quieter than my 16-45 due to the SDM, but since it is only SDM, won't work with my *ist DS, more expensive than my 16-45, still undecided) Several folks were looking for the FA Limiteds, but they weren't present, nor was the DA 35 macro.

eactiv...@aol.com wrote: Also, the older you get, in general, the higher the salary you command, mainly due to experience, the more likely you'll be replaced by a lower salary, less experienced person. A customer of mine, a large electronics manufacturer, went through a series of drastic restructuring and rationalization plans in the 80's and 90's. At one point, they decided that their RD department was way too expensive with all its 'overpaid' engineers who had been around for far too many years, wasting money for all the prototyping and fooling around all day in their expensive test labs. So, off went the old buggers and their test lab. They were replaced by a bunch of fresh young engineers from the local university who had learnt to do their circuit design and testing with modern computers. No more time and money wasted on prototypes and test labs. Virtual prototyping was introduced in a hurry to catch up with modern times. Shortly afterwards, I got a large order for translating the operating and service manuals of their new series of PA amplifiers. A few months later, the same stuff was again on my desk, with major changes in circuitry and component layout. What had happened? Those brilliant young engineers had designed the first amplifiers of their young lives, all with virtual prototyping. No more than breadboard samples had been built before the whole design was rushed off for production in the Far East. Short time-to-market was another of the buzzwords at the time. When the first production samples arrived back in Europe, they were humming, buzzing and whistling. What had worked so nicely in their computer simulation turned out to be a total failure. Apparently, noone had taught those young wippersnappers that one should rotate the output transformers by 90 degrees against the mains transformer, that the latter shouldn't be located right next to the microphone inputs, that ground connections can't be put just anywhere, and that there's generally a whole lot of components and stages who make very bad neighbours and should be kept well apart. The simulation software of the era didn't know a thing about this, either. They had to scrap the whole series, hire some of the old engineers on part-time contracts and restart from scratch.

Re: Really OT Google maps
We have to remember that a GPS can really only do one thing, tell you where it thinks you are.

Very, very true (i.e. avoiding stressful situations). The key is experience. The more experience you have the more you know what types of people will probably rile you up, the more you can foresee when sticky situations might happen, and the more you know about how to side step both. I too have found that as I age I'm getting older. ;-D I've actually been thinking about the types of people who don't so much rile me up as just get on my nerves. Teenage girls. When I got to a certain (fairly young) age I discovered I'd become invisible to young women. As I reached another certain age I discovered I was cool with that, it didn't matter to me that I was invisible to young women. Recently I've reached the age where I'd just as soon the young women would make themselves invisible whenever I'm around ... or at least go somewhere I don't have to deal with 'em. And especially I wished they'd go where I wouldn't have to deal with the consequences of them printing 1000 or more images from a single 512MB memory card and then whining at me because the images look like shit. -- 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.

Now, I don't have anything against it except that this lens is soft at f/8 outdoors focused manually by the split screen. It is going back to BH but honestly, I am very disheartened by this. This is something that should be just flawless, but it is anything but(t). *sigh* -- Boris -- 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: FA 50/1.4 trouble
You may have been wrong assuming that increase of price is caused the increase of investement on the part of the manufacturer, as this is exactly not how it appears from where I stand. I am not very tempted to cancel my order for K-7 in Israel as the cherry picking process can become real big pain in the lower behind...

Re: FA 50/1.4 trouble
John, I am sorry to tell you, but both my DA 21/3.2 (with me here) focuses perfectly and that my focusing screen is just fine. Also, if you shoot from like 10 meters at f/8, the DOF has to be reasonable, whereas I don't see a single piece of the area allegedly in focus that is actually there. This lens is out of whack and back it goes to BH. I will solve it in a different way. Meanwhile, Galia will be shooting with one of the lenses that I have that I know are working fine.

Directions people give me are too imprecise and even when they give me directions I look up their directions on a map. I have had great difficulty seeing why I need a GPS in my car. (Money is better spent on other things, like cameras and stuff.) When you get off the road and out into the countryside following a map is a lot more difficult. The main difficulty is figuring out where you are if you do go astray. For example, I always get lost if I'm trying to navigate through woods. When I emerge on the other side it's difficult to figure out where I am unless there are some really obvious reference points that are unambiguous on the map. That's what a GPS brings to it - click a button and you know where you are to within a few meters, and can use the map for the rest. A handlebar-mounted GPS is also good for cycling if you're following a route you've planned into the device - you don't have to stop so often to check the map.

That's when it's helpful to be able to visualize the terrain features depicted on the map and match them up with the terrain features around you. I don't think it's something that can easily be taught, other than by taking someone to a spot, handing them a good topo map of the area, and pointing out the real terrain on the one hand and the map's depiction of that same terrain on the other. At the end, it seems like the map reader largely has to figure out how to do it on their own, and some folks just don't seem to think visually. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- 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.

Pentax in Fry's, other stores?
Yesterday at the SF stop of the Pentax K-7 Viral Tour, someone asked why it was so hard to find Pentax equipment in local stores. One of the reps said they were actively working to correct that, and gave two heartening examples. 1. Keeble Shuchat, a big pro camera shop in San Jose was now stocking the K-7 and new lenses (a former coworker of mine who works there now had told me last winter they were dropping Pentax, so this is a nice about-face), and supposedly other camera shops are doing the same.

Re: Pentax in Fry's, other stores?
John, There is a local Fry's here in Chicago, near me. John Carlson said the same at GRM in June. The midwest guy was working to get into Fry's. Hope it makes it to my store. Regards, Bob S.
