Cheap battery grip
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.31967 First of all it is interesting to see how cheap it is possible to manufacture this for and send it around the world. I can buy 7 of these including postage from Hong Kong to Norway cheaper than one single original Pentax grip bought locally. It has of course unknown quality, but I still think it will have some impact on the sales for Pentax, at least in Norway.

Re: Cheap battery grip
IIRC this also went around in reference to a grip for the K10D or K20D and someone believed it was the company making the grip for Pentax that had done another production run... goes to show that RD and short life cycles are huge cost factors in this case, not materials labor.

Re: PDML Annual-2010 ?
- Mensaje original De: Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info Asunto: PDML Annual-2010 ? Mark (or anyone) - has the info been put out re: timeframe for submission for the PDML Annual? And other details? Stan, I archived the following message: - Mensaje reenviado De: Mark Roberts m...@robertstech.com Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Enviado: dom,6 septiembre, 2009 14:58 Asunto: ANNOUNCEMENT: The 2009-2010 PDML Photo Annual... and exhibit The release of next year's PDML Photo Annual will coincide with an exhibition of photos from the book at the Dank Haus gallery in Chicago, Illinois, USA, May 7th through June 12th, 2010. After much planning and discussion, the PDML's own Christine Aguila succeeded in facilitating an agreement between Dank Haus Gallery in Chicago and the editors of the PDML Photo Annual (and considering that the editorial staff includes myself, Bill Robb, Doug Brewer and Scott Loveless, that's quite an achievement!) for an actual exhibit of physical prints to celebrate the publication of the next book. As you'll see, this wasn't as simple as one might think. Read on… First, the book itself. The last book was quite a rush project, and having the image submission period extending through the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday season didn't make it any easier. So we've decided to push it back this time around, which will also get the book release closer to the time-frame of the gallery exhibit (which was slotted in the only workable dates the gallery had open). Image submissions will be accepted (via a web site as before) from January 1st through February 28th. Any PDML member in good standing of January 1st will be allotted one photograph in the book. Members will be permitted to submit up to three photographs for the book, to give the editors more latitude for creating a cohesive presentation. Those who want to be the sole determinant of what image they get into the book can do so by submitting just one image. Those who make the editors' jobs easier by submitting two or three images will receive our undying gratitude, at the very least :) The book is slated to be edited and completed electronically by the middle of March and the editors should have proofs in hand about two weeks later. If the proofs look good, the book will be available to PDML members immediately. (If revision is necessary there will be a delay of another two weeks or so.) Official publication will be on May 7 when the exhibit opens. The Exhibit The exhibit curator will be Sue Barton, curator of Dank Haus Gallery and chair of the Dank Haus Fine Arts Committee, who will select approximately 40 images from the book for display. Obviously, we expect to have more than 40 photos in the book so, equally obviously, not everyone will have their photograph represented in the exhibit. Much as we'd like to show everyone's photo, it just isn't physically possible. The final arbiter of photos chosen for the exhibit will be Sue Barton of Dank Haus. To insure consistency and quality of prints, I will be making all the prints here. We can't be shipping prints all over the planet and, more importantly, Sue Barton isn't willing to put on an exhibition of prints based on web images unless she knows the prints will be consistent and is familiar with work of the printer. (The only alternative would be for people to ship prints to her for evaluation/selection and that's clearly a non-starter.) I'll print on either Hahnemuehl Fine Art Pearl or Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper. Sizes will be approximately 8 x 12 or 12 x 18, as decided upon by the curator based on technical quality and artistic considerations. Framing will be done in Chicago. Christine Aguila has been doing a lot of leg-work on this and has succeeded in getting several framing shops to bid on the honor of doing the job. No kidding. This will assure us of getting very good pricing. Yes, you're going to have to pay for the printing and framing if you want to be in the exhibit. But the good news is that what you pay will be less than you could possibly get the same quality work done for yourself. A lot less. (I'm paying over $200.00 per 12x18 print for good framing these days. I expect the PDML price will be about half that, possibly less.) Prices will be definite by the time the image submission period begins. Sales of prints at the exhibition: Yes, you might even make a profit from this deal. Those whose photos are selected for the exhibition will have the option of offering the print for sale at the gallery. This will be subject to the gallery's standard terms (most importantly, their commission!), which Sue Barton will describe in detail before this whole thing goes on line. In lieu of signing the prints that are offered for sale (not possible with this centralized printing scheme), artists will be able to provide a Certificate of

Yes, Brian, there is a lot going on on the net regarding seemingly
imminent and rather close announcement by Samsung.
Interestingly in the discussion you mentioned they indicate crop
factor of 1.57 which might mean that the sensors are this camera
and those in Pentax are ever so slightly different.
Also, m43 is somewhat more attractive at least to me due to the
fact that (as far as I understand) Leica takes part in the design
of some of the lenses. Who is going to make the lenses for Samsung
is yet unknown for me.
Though, indeed, the flood gates of smaller-than-slr changeable lens

Re: Cheap battery grip
I think it's the tooling that costs a lot. Once you've got the molds for the plastic, it's cheap. After owning a K20 for 1+ years, I bought one of the 3rd party grips. I made sure to get one with the wheel on the vertical release as some did not have this feature. It works well for bigger lenses and it's light, but still adds bulk to what you must carry around. I question buying one for the K-7. Battery life is good. Battery depletion is a soft failure. And a spare battery is a lot smaller than the grip. Regards, Bob S.

GESO - A Marinoni for Christmas (caution: Bike Pron)
The bikies (especially Scott) on this list will appreciate this one. A friend of my room mate's called me yesterday just before I left for work and asked if he could deliver something. He also told me that Mark (the room mate) left a message with him that I should open the Christmas card he left for me before he flew to Nova Scotia for his Christmas with the family. I opened the card which said (among other things), enjoy the frame. I'm thinking, what, a picture frame? I couldn't figure it out. The friend had recently stripped down his old Marinoni road bike and I'd been drooling over it. Five minutes after our conversation, there's the friend at the door, holding the Marinoni, big grin on his face, saying, Merry Christmas from Mark!. Here's some quick and dirty pix of it: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/marinoni-for-christmas.html Marinoni has been making bikes in Montreal since the '70's. They were so prized that many Euro pros bought them, stripped the paint off them and rode them painted with the sponsor's bike colours and logos on them (a practice which doesn't happen in these days of very unique-looking carbon fibre frames). Marinonis (until recently) were all steel, Columbus tubed and lugged frames. All of them are hand-made by the original owner, Giuseppe, who still handmakes all the bikes with his name on it. Here's a very interesting little article on him: http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/business/story.html?id=2253a1ff-a288-45bf-9ada-e3ef22e91d56 http://tinyurl.com/yd8o6qs This one is from the early-to-mid 90's, made of Columbus SL tubing. It's not one of his premier models, but is a solid road frame that should last a long, long time (and it's my size - 56 cm). As you can see, it's a bit scratched, but not offensively so. I've had a banged up road bike sitting unused in a corner, so my winter's project will be to strip the parts off that one and have this beauty ready for the spring.
