So, it looks like tomorrow night I've got a 9-5 job shooting pictures of about 50 products, makeup and the like.

lens advice needed: FA 100-300 or Sigma DL 75-300?
As title implies, I need your toughts about those two lenses - both available in a BR store, in a distant southeast city so there is absolutely no way to run tests. :-( The FA 100-300 4.7 is a little more expensive, the Sigma 70-300 4.5-5.6 DL is some $30 cheaper. Both are used, signs of wear, both have been serviced but they claim the maintenance was made by a sound shop. The FA 100-300 has a composite mount, from the pics I've seen, and is regarded by some as a poor lens - so poor that the compact Sigma is a better choice?? Your comments are important - is there anyone who had hands experience with both, and could elaborate on the differences? Is there any important point in either lens that should dictate my choice? I just received a M42 200mm 4.0 for the formal, slow performances, so the intended purpose of this new lens is to be carried in my everyday bag next to the DS and the kit lens. All my lenses should be able to cover 35mm, and present aperture rings - the 18-55 being excused since it came along the DS.

Re: Cokin polarizer delaminated
P. J., I dropped one loong ago, before the days of circular polarizers - and it delaminated some right after the impact, but stopped despite being kept in a drawer for 12+ years. Found it in january, still looking the same - just a semi circle delaminated radiating from the ding in the border. Moisture is a problem - but the pesky filter was stored with silica, along a lens and some other bits and filters and the rest is looking the same as before. The BH pair - circular polarizers, 52 58mm - is outside, in the bag since before the P adapters were released and is still perfect. Not a huge setback, but annoying. I'd rather understanding, so it doesn't happens again. lf P. J. Alling escreveu: I've never had a polarizer delaminate, but moisture will do it.

Re: Cokin polarizer delaminated
Ecke, the filter is still in one piece - sort of, the layers are still attached on each other. Just there is a fairly intricate pattern spreading from the borders up to a third part of the radius, on average. I'll re-check for other clues at night. I've seen antibiotics used to enhance antifouling paint on boats... but using antibiotics to preserve photo gear is a new idea. lf ps: no, I wouldn't do either - there are enough problems with resistant strains right now. eckinator escreveu: Could also be fungus bacteria eating into organic matter in the glue layer.

Re: Photographing blues dancers, exposure
Larry, Some comments and corrections. I am constantly talking about how you should shoot for the raw data, and correct everything in post processing. If that is the case, then setting the color balance at the time you shoot should not make any difference. It was discussed earlier here on the list (probably about a year ago) mostly between Godfrey and myself that the way exponometry works or to be exact, - programmed (at least in some cameras, - for sure in *ist DS and Godfrey was mentioning either K10D or K20D at that point), is that in some combination of the WB and the actual light, the photographs can be underexposed. This happens, e.g. when you shoot with the daylight WB in the room with tungsten lights: uncorrected images are underexposed (after WB corrected). The mechanism responsible for that is similar to what you describe in your writeup in the situation of colored lights: one channel dominates, and the other two are underexposed. So, it is nice to have the right ball-park setting for WB. Having it precise might be an overkill in case you are not trying to get just 1-2-3 shots, but a bunch of them at different parts of the dance floor. The variance of the light throughout the room may prove your efforts to be unreasonable, especially if you are going to correct WB in post-processing anyway. Also, - if you try to write a universal guide, - keep in mind that your reference to the green button makes it very narrow-oriented. It's Pentax-centric, and even with Pentax not applicable to all cameras.

I am constantly talking about how you should shoot for the raw data, and correct everything in post processing. If that is the case, then setting the color balance at the time you shoot should not make any difference. It was discussed earlier here on the list (probably about a year ago) mostly between Godfrey and myself that the way exponometry works or to be exact, - programmed (at least in some cameras, - for sure in *ist DS and Godfrey was mentioning either K10D or K20D at that point), is that in some combination of the WB and the actual light, the photographs can be underexposed. This happens, e.g. when you shoot with the daylight WB in the room with tungsten lights: uncorrected images are underexposed (after WB corrected). This makes sense, and is good to know. The mechanism responsible for that is similar to what you describe in your writeup in the situation of colored lights: one channel dominates, and the other two are underexposed. So, it is nice to have the right ball-park setting for WB. That's another good reason for it. Although, as I mention, the only thing that I've found to really work when shooting available light is to manually set the exposure, because it's too easy to fool the camera, especially in dark rooms with one or two bright lights. Having it precise might be an overkill in case you are not trying to get just 1-2-3 shots, but a bunch of them at different parts of the dance floor. The variance of the light throughout the room may prove your efforts to be unreasonable, especially if you are going to correct WB in post-processing anyway. Also, - if you try to write a universal guide, - keep in mind that your reference to the green button makes it very narrow-oriented. It's Pentax-centric, and even with Pentax not applicable to all cameras. Yup. This is the first draft, and I'm just working at getting all of my thoughts down. Maybe I can convince Pentax that they need to hire me to write tutorials on how to use pentax gear. We all know that the fastest way to improve the quality of pictures that a camera takes is usually to upgrade the meat bipod. In my experience the Pentax manuals are written for people who don't know there aperture from a hole in the ground. Their tendency to dumb things down to the point that they make Archie and Veronica look like Shakespeare, renders them close to useless. What I think that they should do is write a high quality manual that explains, for reasonably intelligent, competent, people how to use all of the various features and pieces of gear. Print them all in one book and it would serve as a combination tutorial, user's manual and advertising brochure by showing the really cool things that you need this particular piece of kit for.

Re: My own Pentax blog.
Jostein, I've used Adobe CameraRaw with de default setting and no automatic correction. Sharpning was set to 20. So this could affect testresults, althow this amount of sharping is normal in every day use. All images where judged with the same settings. I've tested the setting of sharpening before setting it to 20. And I found it te be a good point making a fair compare of the resolution. No sharpening made it a bit more difficult to make repeatable judgement of resolution. Setting it higher then 30 created artifarcts and would lead to false conculsions. I found 20 good, and also the sharping I mostly apply seem to be between 15 and 25. I know this isn't a perfect test, none is, but I already made these test for myself and want to share them with the world. The figure that I've got seems to confirm my subjective feeling about some lenses. kind regards, Pascal. Pascal, I read your blog before I asked. :-) What I would like to know is how you judge the exposures. If you apply sharpening to the exposures before counting line pairs, for example. Which raw file converter you use is also important, as they seem to vary in their ability to extract detail. And also which settings for contrast, sharpness, etc. you used in the camera. Best, Jostein 2009/9/30 Pascal De Pauw pascal.de.p...@telenet.be: Hi Jostein, Quote from my blog: Testnote: For testing I used a ISO 12233 resolution chart as testing object with the camera mounted on tripod using the self-timer and mirror-lockup.

WB and exposure
Following the discussion about exposure and WB, I was skeptical that WB setting could affect exposure metering, as in a SLR the meter cells are independent from the sensor. So I've tested it on my K20D. I've taken three Av exposures in tungsten light (one with Auto WB, another one with Daylight WB and the last one with Tungsten WB). As expected, shutter speed was the same and the histograms of the three shots look identical.

Dario As a side note, I believe the possible underexposure that someone noticed when shooting under tungsten light can be due to reaching the lower limit of the meter range. Once you're there, the camera stops incrementing the shutter speed for getting a proper exposure in dim light. Be aware that going below the lower limit of the meter is common when shooting shows such as music indoors and the like.

She was a bit long in the tooth, but there are some amusing stories about other drivers being taught what 273 godfearing American cubic inches could do. As a black guy, in a mostly white college town, driving a beat up older car, Mike got pulled over regularly for Driving While Black. On at least two occasions he was subsequently arrested and taken to jail, because someone typed in the wrong birthday when entering warrants for another Mike Smith.

WB and exposure
Dario, I just looked up our 2-year e-mail exchange: http://www.pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/2007-August/086939.html I stand corrected for the fact that Godfrey did NOT see it with his K10D, while I did with my *ist DS. In the messages linked above Godfrey gives a very reasonable explanation of why it can happen. And no, I don't think I am hitting the low limit of the meter. (E.g. 1/15s f/1.4-f/2.8) But yes, it does happen in relatively low light.
