Lenses fogging over

2010-01-09 Thread Larry Colen
It seems that my PFA 50/1.4 is a lot more likely to fog over,  
especially when brought in from the cold, than any other lens I have.


Tonight, it was fogging over at the slightest provocation, making it  
tough to get sharp pictures.  Does anyone else have similar problems  
with any lenses? Is there anything that can be done?  Put a UV filer  
on it so there isn't as much moisture next to the front element to  
condense on it?

Happy New Year, and an OT PESO - Mammatus

Happy New Year, PDML-ers

Having a hair tearing time picking for the photo book. Still, a very 
enjoyable process.


But meanwhile, I picked up a funky XPan. My NY resolution is to shoot 
more film. http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc/10/10_01/10_01_monster/01.htm


Coincidentally, today I picked up a Best-Of CD of one of my pre-digital,

Putting a filter on usually makes it worse, in my experience. I suspect it's
because the air between the front element and the rear of the filter is
slightly warmer than the air outside, so the moisture condenses on the front
of the filter.

Re: Lenses fogging over

I would suspect that it contains less plastic and hence takes longer
to adapt to temperature changes (maybe also more glass where it hurts,
i.e. front element?) so there is probably very little you can do about
it :(

RE: Fairygirl is in the house!

2010-01-09 Thread Tanya Love
Har!

Nope, we didn't make the bicycle trip - got busy having more babies instead!
Added two more to the tribe since I was last on the list, so that makes five
now...

Oh, and I remarried too - hence the name Tanya LOVE - that is my real
name, and we aptly call our home the LoveShack! lol.

Last year was a really crappy, crappy year from us, we have a new business,
Ankle Biters, an online and physical store with eco/organic products for
kids and babies and we managed to get ourselves ripped off to the tune of
$42k.  LONG story, but basically, we are broke and 2009 sucked majorly, but
we have themed 2010 as our year of recovery so that the annus horribulus
(sic) that was 2009 can go take a hike!

Oh yeah, did anyone know that I retired from photography?  That was back
in late 2006, when I popped out baby #4, Zali.

Well, it seems that fate has other plans, and now I'm back at it again.  No
more weddings for me though, in my last year as a wedding photog. I dealt
with about 
79 Bridezillas, and that was enough to scare me off for life!

Now, it's commercial photography all the way baby!  Hehe.  Still kids and
babies (someone would think I was clucky or something!) but kids and babies
PRODUCT
Photography is my calling for now.

I rejoined cause I was hanging out to know which of you rich old farts have
got yourselves a K-7?? Me thinks me needs one  Oh, did I mention that I
am STILL using my 
Trusty old starkist?!?  I think I've clocked the speedo about 10 times now,
just clicked over another 10k the other day.  It has a crack in the preview
screen from one too
many dives on the bitumen, but apart from that, she's still going strong!

So, where is the cheapest place to get my hands on a K-7 at present?  And
what is the general consensus on it in comparison with the K20D?  I am sure
that this has been discussed to death a gazillion times over but I'm too
lazy to go through all the archives, jeez you guys can talk!  The K20D is
going for aud$899 at Ted's Camera House here in BrisVegas right now, which
looks the best deal I've found so far, so do you think it would be worth the
extra $500 for the K7?   Me being me and as hard as I am on my gear and all,
was thinking that the weather proofing of the K7 might be a good little
insurance policy to have...

So, what have I missed?  Just checked out the 2008 Photobook and I see that
you guys STILL haven't gotten over your fixation for bloody cormorants and
hmmm, Grandfather Mountain!  Some familiar scenes there!

Tan.x.

Hi Tanya,
I've been shooting with  K7 for almost six months now, and I've  
clocked 9950 exposures. I love it. The K20D was nice, but the K7 is a  
major improvement. First on my list of pluses would be far better  
exposure metering. It's very accurate and delivers repeatable results  
-- something my K20D could never quite achieve. The autofocus is  
noticeably faster, particularly on moving objects. That's also a huge  
plus for me. And the increased frame rate is a big help for a lot of  
what I shoot: moving vehicles, sports, etc. With that comes faster  
write speed, which cuts down on waiting until mr. camera is ready to  
work. Heck, I can't remember ever having to wait with the K7. With the  
K20D, when I shot a series of autobracket exposures, I'd stand there  
waiting for the ready light to come back on. The battery life is much  
better. Even without the grip you can get around 1000 RAW exposures. I  
have a grip installed and always shoot with two batteries. I've never  
come close to exhausting them, even in a long day of continuous  
shooting. Finally, the build quality is superb. The camera is a little  
tank.

The video capability is nice, but it requires manual focus. However,  
that's not too much of a problem when using wide lenses in relatively  
good light. I bought a hood with diopter adjustment for the live view  
screen. That makes manual focus fairly easy, even when moving. I think  
the HD video capability in combination with the excellent lenses would  
be useful for serious applications. I've been thinking about trying to  
shoot a demo 30-second commercial with it. For kid's birthdays and  
stuff like that, my Sony video camera is a better choice.


I never use live preview mode and rarely shoot in live view, so I  
can't offer any input there. I have used live view occasionally for  
framing in situations where I couldn't get to the viewfinder, and I  
found it useful. But I prefocused.

Re: A K7D for Fairygirl (Was Re: Fairygirl is in the house!)

2010-01-09 Thread Bob Sullivan
Hi Tanya,

To add to Paul's excellent review of the K-7...
I've had one for the last 6 months and run up 2,750+ exposures.
The size is a bit more compact than the K-20, but still bigger than the *ist DS.
The user interface is superb, no more digging thru menus.  It's all on the back.
It is a truely modern and up-to-date use of the lcd screen to convey info.
Autofocus seems faster and is really fast  silent with the new
internal lens drives.
Battery life has changed.  The K20 said I'm 1/2 full, no wait, I'm DEAD!
The K-7 posts 2/3rds full and keeps shooting until I'm back home for a recharge.
And a spare battery cost me US$10, much cheaper than the K20 or K10.
I've tried the video here and there. Get a fast card  focusing is a
user job.  :-(

Nice to hear from you again.
Seems like wedding and kid photos were a good source of income for you.
And your kid photos were really good, so I hope you continue.

Regards,  Bob S.

 Oh, and I remarried too - hence the name Tanya LOVE - that is my real
 name, and we aptly call our home the LoveShack! lol.

 Last year was a really crappy, crappy year from us, we have a new
 business,
 Ankle Biters, an online and physical store with eco/organic products for
 kids and babies and we managed to get ourselves ripped off to the tune of
 $42k.  LONG story, but basically, we are broke and 2009 sucked majorly,
 but
 we have themed 2010 as our year of recovery so that the annus horribulus
 (sic) that was 2009 can go take a hike!

 Oh yeah, did anyone know that I retired from photography?  That was back
 in late 2006, when I popped out baby #4, Zali.

 Well, it seems that fate has other plans, and now I'm back at it again.
  No
 more weddings for me though, in my last year as a wedding photog. I dealt
 with about
 79 Bridezillas, and that was enough to scare me off for life!

 Now, it's commercial photography all the way baby!  Hehe.  Still kids and
 babies (someone would think I was clucky or something!) but kids and
 babies
 PRODUCT
 Photography is my calling for now.

 I rejoined cause I was hanging out to know which of you rich old farts
 have
 got yourselves a K-7?? Me thinks me needs one  Oh, did I mention that
 I
 am STILL using my
 Trusty old starkist?!?  I think I've clocked the speedo about 10 times
 now,
 just clicked over another 10k the other day.  It has a crack in the
 preview
 screen from one too
 many dives on the bitumen, but apart from that, she's still going strong!

 So, where is the cheapest place to get my hands on a K-7 at present?  And
 what is the general consensus on it in comparison with the K20D?  I am
 sure
 that this has been discussed to death a gazillion times over but I'm too
 lazy to go through all the archives, jeez you guys can talk!  The K20D is
 going for aud$899 at Ted's Camera House here in BrisVegas right now, which
 looks the best deal I've found so far, so do you think it would be worth
 the
 extra $500 for the K7?   Me being me and as hard as I am on my gear and
 all,
 was thinking that the weather proofing of the K7 might be a good little
 insurance policy to have...

 So, what have I missed?  Just checked out the 2008 Photobook and I see
 that
 you guys STILL haven't gotten over your fixation for bloody cormorants and
 hmmm, Grandfather Mountain!  Some familiar scenes there!


 Hi Tanya,
 I've been shooting with  K7 for almost six months now, and I've clocked 9950
 exposures. I love it. The K20D was nice, but the K7 is a major improvement.
 First on my list of pluses would be far better exposure metering. It's very
 accurate and delivers repeatable results -- something my K20D could never
 quite achieve. The autofocus is noticeably faster, particularly on moving
 objects. That's also a huge plus for me. And the increased frame rate is a
 big help for a lot of what I shoot: moving vehicles, sports, etc. With that
 comes faster write speed, which cuts down on waiting until mr. camera is
 ready to work. Heck, I can't remember ever having to wait with the K7. With
 the K20D, when I shot a series of autobracket exposures, I'd stand there
 waiting for the ready light to come back on. The battery life is much
 better. Even without the grip you can get around 1000 RAW exposures. I have
 a grip installed and always shoot with two batteries. I've never come close
 to exhausting them, even in a long day of continuous shooting. Finally, the
 build quality is superb. The camera is a little tank.
 Paul


 Tan.x.

 To add to Paul's excellent review of the K-7...
 I've had one for the last 6 months and run up 2,750+ exposures.

Just have to add my voice to Bob's and Paul's.

I have two K-7. 6200 exposures combined. Excellent performers, and
endures the weather at least as well as advertised.

For AF in LiveView or video, you have three options. The first is
traditional SLR AF, which implies that when you hit the AF button, the
mirror pops down, does the AF, and pops up again to return you to
LiveView. Naturally this doesn't work while shooting video. The other
AF modes are tech from compact cams. One mode is called contrast,
the other is face-recognition. Both are excruciatingly slow.

In my experience, the light metering and AF speed for ordinary SLR
operation is the hitherto best in any camera from Pentax.

shutter to fire after I've pressed the button, so I never quite know what
I'll get. You have to try and predict, and hope for the best.

A nice set of images with some really classy ones among them:

The two guys in IMAG0052 look as if they might be considering separating

 I like the shot, and the pump. I used ot pump gas as a part time job
 when i was about 115-16 at a Supertest station.

the old pumps, as many older items, had a style that the newer
utilitarian uglies do not.

Holy cow Mark, how the heck did you do this:

That is GORGEOUS!

I keep thinking of you at GFM stalking those little 
hummingbirds! It was so worth it!  That shot is awesome.

I agree. 


Cows are much easier to photograph, but less colourful.


But much harder to keep in the air !

GESO - 21mm, 70mm and 10-17mm examples.

2010-01-09 Thread George Sinos
A few days ago someone had asked for examples of the DA 21mm and I was
reminded that I never got around to posting these shots from the 2009
Worldwide Photowalk.

With a couple of feet a snow on the ground and record low
temperatures, it was a pleasure to look at these photos from last
summer.

Most of the photos were shot with the DA 21.  A few were shot with the
70 and 10-17. All of the metadata is available if you choose to
display it.

Here's the link

 There was a suggestion that I do so at the time the book was
 published, but I think it's better to make this thing hard copy only
 when it first appears. Keep some of the mystery, you know?

 Anyway, it's kind of nice to browse the photos on the web. They may
 appear more saturated and contrasty than they do in the book. That's
 of course due to the nature of the media and that fact that I didn't
 create separately optimized photos for the book and this web page -
 these are print optimized.
