The hoops consist mainly of making Pentax aware of your expertise and professionalism, then starting with baby steps to built a rapport. Loans or rentals depends on the relationship you have with Pentax, and the possibility that an article would be published with Pentax credit in your byline. They see the need for loans such as this as a sales opportunity, and creating goodwill amongst those who would be most useful in promoting the Pentax philosophy. Get in touch. Sell yourself.

Re: Wide angle for K-X?
Besides the excellent 16-45 that some people suggested, there is the FA 20-35. Small, AF and high IQ too, though you would have to look for a second hand one. The Voigtländer 58mm 1.4 seems an excellent choice for an 85mm equivalent, but I think it will be hard to focus it accurately using the comparatively small K-x viewfinder, as you come from an MX which has an enormous viewfinder compared to APS-C DSLRs. Every time I compare my two MX to the *ist DS and K10D, I am astonished at the difference. But in that case you can buy a Pentax O-ME53 magnifying eyecup. Carlos Sandy Harris escribió: What I have in mind is the classic 35/85 two lens kit. 35 full-frame equivalent would be wide enough for most of my purposes. Good cheap 24/2 or 2.8 would be first choice if there was one. 21 Limited definitely appeals, but nothing wider unless it is a zoom. I thought of a 10-20 or 12-24 zoom, but I don't think I'd need the wider end much and those lenses tend to be fairly heavy expensive. On the longer side, 75 mm equivalent is the minimum, and I'd prefer a bit longer. Voigtlander 58/1.4 is my first thought. I can afford 21 Limited and 50/1.4, giving me two autofocus Pentax lenses. Those look like a good match and comments on them are all positive. 50 is not quite as long as I'd like, but you can't have everything. Voigtlander 58/1.4 would be preferable on the long end, but it is more money, not autofocus and perhaps harder to match. Might not work well with 21, too big a gap between. I thought perhaps the 58 and Sigma 24/1.8 to give me two fast lenses, but the Sigma i's fairly heavy and no-one here is praising it. I'm no longer considering that. The advice to use the 16-45 was a surprise. That is a pretty flexible lens. Going down to 24 mm equivalent may not be essential, but it is something I'd use. The obvious 2nd lens to go with it would be 70/2.4 Limited. That would be a bit beyond what I want to spend, but a very flexible kit. Hmmm Se certifico que el correo entrante no contiene virus.

Re: Sand patterns
2010/1/3 Bob W p...@web-options.com: I think it's the PDML maths professor you want though. However, you can expect some very different reactions to this picture - even though I failed O-level maths I think I'm correct in saying that fractal functions both attract and repel. You'd need a field mathematician. :-) If you stay a while at the beach you can actually see these patterns form before your eyes. Running water will flush out more sand where it finds an edge to begin with, because the water will speed up over the edge, and the edge grains will be more exposed to drag from the water. It may begin where there is a turbulence, like in the wake of the stone, for example. As to the treelike shape of the pattern, I don't know if it's just the decreasing force of the water as wave or tide retracts or that the force is gradually spread over a larger area, but I suspect both. It's a fairly standard erosion pattern. If you use Google Earth, you can see the same patterns on a larger scale in most mountaineous areas. Particularly in arid places that experience flash floods. The same kind of erosion patterns on Mars is convincing evidence for past existence of water there, according to NASA. I don't care much about the maths though. :-) Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- 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.

When historians started comparing display armour to some parts that were known to have seen combat, they found that much of the display suits were actually not full sized, likely for cost reasons. In other news, Napoleon was not actually terribly short.

On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 1:09 AM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: Sandy, if you are considering buying Voigt 58 and Sigma 24, then I humbly suggest that you consider not buying a Pentax camera. It makes reduced amount of sense :-) to buy a camera and use it with 3rd party lenses. There are quite a few deficiencies in being an owner of Pentax system (you can throw all the rotten vegetables you want at me, I know) such as: 1. lack of support and/or services 2. lack of professional services, which to my understanding also includes ability to rent expensive cameras and lenses for short periods of time (something I'd love to do) 3. still unclear fate of FF body (again, this is debatable and depends on one's preferences) 4. generally weaker AF performance (yes, even K-7 is outgunned by its rivals), which again is either important or not, depending on your shooting style. However, in sooth, I am not trying to advocate you against Pentax, because 1. Pentax has excellent glass 2. Pentax has great value for money 3. Pentax is also about PDML 4. Pentax lenses are smallest in size yet boast highest optical quality. It is therefore my humble suggestion that you look for Pentax glass to mount on your Pentax camera. If you're willing to entertain the idea of DA 16-45/4, then I suggest that you simply add to this a good copy of FA 50/1.4 and shoot until you both got the money and also the good idea where to go next - wide angle, portraits, telephoto, etc. Just my cents. -- Boris Actually, I'd disagree here. There's really nothing else comparable to the K-x on the market, it has a unique combination of size, features and performance and that's the real draw there. Pentax offers nothing truly comparable to the 58 Nokton, the FA 50/1.4 handles worse (particularly for manual focus, the Nokton has a large and well damped focus ring) and has significant QC problems with recent production and the DA* 55 is about twice the price of the Nokton and both are shorter lenses in a range where smaller focal length differences remain noticeable. At the wide end Pentax is lacking any fast glass wider than 31mm. While Pentax lenses are excellent, Pentax really has not provided a full lens line unless your needs are small but slow primes and/or f2.8 zooms. -Adam -- M.

Wild Animal Park - San Diego

Re: Wild Animal Park - San Diego
Bob, The Wild Animal Park is a 1,800 acre preserve for the San Diego Zoo. It's a 45 minute drive from the zoo, but well worth the effort - must see attractions! The zoo was the first in the US to use lots of space to show the animals in natural habitats. The Wild Animal Park started for breeding purposes, but is more now. Hope you can get over to see them some day. It's really fun to ride among the big animals, even just to take family snaps. :-) Regards, Bob S.

Short tele complement to DA16-45?
Let's say you have a DA16-45. Love the colors, love the 16mm, don't mind the reverse zoom ring, but it's just a *little* short at 45mm. Already have the DA 55-300 or 50-135. Options for when I don't want to use the long tele zooms (usually I'm indoors need just a little more reach, but I can't walk up to the subject): 1) get a DA 17-70 to replace 16-45 (pros: longer zoom range, SDM quietness, same constant f/4 as the 16-45, has a normal zoom ring, has a rebate since I bought the K-7; cons: heavier larger than the 16-45, it's SDM only; long term SDM reliability, some users complain of softness btwn 50-70mm) 2) get a DA 70 (pros: small size, complements the DA 21 DA40, slightly better in low light at f/2.4; cons: funky lens cap/hood combination, price?) If you have the DA16-45, what is your short tele option? I'm not looking to replace the 16-45; it works and it's been a great bang for the buck. I've been going back forth on this for a bit and would like to see what others think.

Already have the DA 55-300 or 50-135. Options for when I don't want to use the long tele zooms (usually I'm indoors need just a little more reach, but I can't walk up to the subject): 1) get a DA 17-70 to replace 16-45 (pros: longer zoom range, SDM quietness, same constant f/4 as the 16-45, has a normal zoom ring, has a rebate since I bought the K-7; cons: heavier larger than the 16-45, it's SDM only; long term SDM reliability, some users complain of softness btwn 50-70mm) 2) get a DA 70 (pros: small size, complements the DA 21 DA40, slightly better in low light at f/2.4; cons: funky lens cap/hood combination, price?) If you have the DA16-45, what is your short tele option? I'm not looking to replace the 16-45; it works and it's been a great bang for the buck. I've been going back forth on this for a bit and would like to see what others think.
