RE: PESO - We Stand on Guard for Thee?

GESO Vita
I've realized two things tonight: You folks are a bad influence. Photographing bicycles is difficult. I've had this bike, in various incarnations, since the summer of '79 when I pulled the frame out of a friend's basement. I could write a small book about all the things I've done with, and to, it. The highlight was probably when I rode the Davis Double Century on it in May of '81, although the previous fall I did ride a metric double century on it, without a front derailleur, or for that matter any training since the DC the previous May. There have been several times that I have decided that it was no longer worth fixing the bike up, and that I should just buy a new bike. I only bought a new bike once, but I always seem to find some excuse to get her back on the road. The frame is a Legnano. An Italian company that at one point went out of business sometime in the late sixties. It may have been since resurrected, but I'm fairly sure that the frame is somewhere between 40 and 50 years old. You may note a big, rusty, bolt at the intersection of the seat tube and the top tube. Legnano had a very clever, for Italian values of clever, method of tightening down the seat. I've never owned the proper clamp widget, so I kluged something up that more or less works. I tried several lighting setups. I ended up with the WL10,000 studio strobe fairly high up, shooting through an umbrella. I tried various shots with my Sigma 20, FA31 and DFA50/2.8. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623085248314/ -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.

K-7 video SDHC write issue

K-7 mode dial (was: video SDHC write) issue
Thank you everyone for your input; there is/was also one other issue (it is yet to be seen whether or not fw update 1.0 to 1.02 fixed it) - the mode dial would sometimes/often produce randomly wrong results, i.e. you could turn it to mode x and it would set the camera to mode z with no apparent pattern - does that ring a bell with anyone 2009/12/28 wendy beard pointyp...@gmail.com: Don't know - but mine was doing the same with a Lexar Platinum II SDHC 8GB card On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 12:27 PM, eckinator eckina...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all My recently 'converted to Pentax by yours truly' neighbor is having troubles with his K-7. Perhaps one of you can help out: he has a SanDisk Extreme III SDHC 8 GB card and with fw 1.0 recording would stop after about 45 to 55 secs, with fw 1.02 it pauses after about 1:15 to 1:25 to write buffer to card and then resumes. Could this be a case of wrong card?
