Re: Interesting discussion of flash sync speeds at Strobist.
Last year I gave my Olympus the test that this site suggests.
Nominally, the synch speed is 1/180sec, and I found that to be correct
at full power with a Metz 60CT-1. Any higher and I'd see a very
diffused shaded band, not objectionable or even noticeable at 1/200sec
with a normal scene. With a Metz 32CT-7 I could safely use 1/300sec.
But experience tells me that big floor pack like the Hensel 3200 joule
and 6000 joule units that I once used could show a shaded edge even at
1/125sec.

O Canada Exhibit in Toronto
Derby's post about Magnum prints reminded me that I recently saw a wonderful exhibit, O Canada at Toronto's Stephen Bulger Gallery on Queen Street West. It featured dozens of vintage prints from Bulger's personal collection, generally themed around (as you might guess) Canadian themes. Surprisingly, there was even an Henri Cartier Bresson print! (priced at a modest $7500, IIRC - and that's Canadian funds!) http://www.bulgergallery.com/dynamic/fr_exhibit_artist.asp?ExhibitID=208 If you're in Toronto over the next month (runs to February 27) I highly recommend it. I'm lucky enough to live about two blocks from that gallery, so I'll be seeing it several more times. cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.

Re: Interesting discussion of flash sync speeds at Strobist.
I think that article was quite confusing.
The nominal sync time of a camera refers to the speed of the shutter
lamellae, doesn't it? The quicker the movement, the shorter the
interval can be for a fully opened shutter. The article describes the
_practical_ sync time which should also depend on how well the camera
synchronise the shutter and the flash blink. Many of the commenters
point out that it works at 1/200 when the flash is mounted in the
hotshoe, but not when off-camera. So to me it seems that Canon has a
sloppy implementation of sync speed rather than an unreliable shutter.
Maybe it's the flash that's sluggish rather than the camera?
Anyway, I'm quite happy with the way flash is controlled in K-7. The
hi-speed sync works fine with both the AF-540-FGZ and Metz AF-58 when
1/180 is not enough. If I absolutely had to pop a flash at high
shutter speeds as if working with conventional sync speed, I guess I'd
go manual and be done with it. I don't see the need for the article's
hype, really. Maybe I've missed something. :-)

A tad more than i wanted them to spend, but manageable. Lovely house with a monster yard for a town house.

Re: OT Geso Photos from the fund raiser
Dave, I really think you love shooting horse events. It looks like you are fighting your own feelings to get away from it. Maybe it can never be a business endeavor, but you can still enjoy it. You posted a lot of pictures. I enjoyed them all, but the kids with ponys and the kids in costumes were favorites. I know the barn is a dark place, and many of the pictures would be improved by more light. Viewing a dark horse on a dark background on a laptop near a window is hard. My only real complaint is that triangular pendant stenciled on the wall, just above the heads of the pony riders. It needs some painting out. :-) Regards, Bob S.

it's something major then the counter will be set to whatever the last

RE: Message from Henry Posner, Part I
A cardinal rule in all businesses is that the customer comes first. Granted there could be an exceptional customer that deserves to get the boot or who makes unreasonable demands. In this case, resolving the problem to the customer's satisfaction, in the big scheme of things, was a rather small concession for BH to make considering the volume of business they do, the monetary amount, and the fact that the mistake was theirs. I read a very illuminating article in the Harvard Business Review a few years ago which made a strong case for companies dropping the least profitable 10% of their customer base annually and replacing it with a combination of new customers and increased business (or more profitable business) from existing customers. I don't recall every detail but the article defended the idea that unprofitable customers were a cancer on the business, draining resources and costing, not earning, money and as a side benefit, sending these troublesome, difficult, expensive customers to your competition put more burden on them, benefiting you again. I cannot say I necessarily agree with every detail of this argument, but it does have points worth considering. In the particular instance under discussion, various compromise offers were tendered. None were accepted. Lawyers I know say a compromise is when both parties are equally dissatisfied. This customer declined all compromise efforts. Those here arguing this so vehemently should consider there's more to the tale than they know. -- - regards, Henry Posner Director of Corporate Communications BH Photo-Video, and Pro-Audio http://www.bhphotovideo.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.
Re: RIP - JoJo passed away last Thursday evening.
Thank for all your kind comments :) I'm late to respond since I tried to do many things but thinking to much about the rat (cleaning desk and whatever other boring stuff). I'm happy you like the picture. That's something I'm somewhat proud of, not the picture in itself (well, I bit to be honest) but the fact I'll keep such a beautiful image of her. Rats usually aren't exactly waiting for you to push the trigger =) BTW, the picture was taken with the Sigma 28/1.8. Good example of shallow DOF IMO. The second rat (Littl'Mary) is alive and well as she could though she has the same disease as Jojo, not yet developed enough for her to suffer much. We didn't get other ones because the disease our rats have/had will go to other rats quickly. I don't want that so we won't get other rats with Littl'Mary still with us (for a long time I hope). The disease is more or less like AIDS but for rats (on a consequences point of view: body immunity). I won't knowingly give this to other rats. Clearly when Littl'Mary will go, we will get other rats. It is too late now. We'll have to have rats =) Thanks to all, again.

-Original Message- From: Tom C caka...@gmail.com Then, respectfully, please inform us regarding the rest of the story and details we're unaware of. Then we'll also have complete information and can reach a fair conclusion, which you imply we have not. Actually I was emailing replies all along. Unfortunately for me I'd registered here under hen...@bhphotovideo.com and learned only this morning that our back-end people had changed me to hen...@bhphoto.com so every message I'd sent here bounced. Since the topic has died down I don't think tossing gas on dieing embers is particularly fruitful. The product in question was not a Pentax product and the customer in question is, as far as I can tell, not a subscriber to this group. I am reluctant to go too far OT, but briefly we sell a particular speaker for 250.00 each. We inadvertently posted on our site the speaker was selling for 250.00/pair. The customer placed an order which was transmitted to the warehouse where they were unaware of the site error and shipped the customer a speaker. He contacted us and we offered a variety of reasonable compromises including the chance to buy the 2nd speaker for our cost with free shipping. Lawyers I know say a compromise is when both parties are equally dissatisfied. We were unable to reach a compromise with the customer. We regret the error and regret not being able to come to a compromise. Someone speculated about the original review disappearing from the site. The author of the review revised it. That sent it from active to pending status. Once the pending period expired the review returned to visibility. BH had nothing to do wit that. Regarding legalities, our site and our site's disclaimer and our response to this situation have all been vetted by our in-house lawyer. We are confident of the legality. I believe my first post, forwarded by another member of this group, referenced The Equitable Doctrine of Unilateral Mistake. It is germane. On a personal note, one person here posted the following at various times: Posner's whine ...Posner's just the waterboy for them...BH lied about their pricing...So, we now have BH Photo who come off looking like a bunch of lying scumbags...attack dog Posner...

In all seriousness, I think the iPad has a lot of potential for photographers, as Scott Bourn points out in his posts about it. The second generation of the device will probably have a USB connection and likely an SD slot as well, if only because there will be competitors with these features by then (Scott's downplaying of this shortcoming strikes me not as Apple fanboyism but just the rationalization of anyone delighted with a new toy). The inability to show raw files will probably be overcome through software very soon. What Apple's done *right* is what Google always does right: Start with very *few* features and add stuff gradually as experience and real-life use demonstrate how it's used and what its strong and weak points are. Too many companies start with by throwing everything into a new product to see what sticks coughSonycough. This looks like a classic case of wait until the early adopters pay the high prices of the first-generation product and let them fund the RD for the better and cheaper second-gen device. :) -- 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.

Re: fwd: Scott Bourne, QA With Scott Bourne About the iPad
Here is my idea of a runaway hit for the iPad. 1) Make it multitask apps - you'll see why in a minute 2) Negotiate with College Textbook publishers for ebooks of all textbooks - $50 a pop - way cheaper than the printed ones, but COGS is low 3) Have a decent note taking app 4) Have a small, decent word processor 5) sell to college students instead of a laptop I have two girls in college. Books are outrageous in price. The battery life of the iPad and ebooks would work perfectly for them. Beyond lots of web surfing/social networking, just lightweight word processing is needed. The appeal of the iPad would be embraced by that group. The price is a no brainer because I wouldn't have to buy them a laptop and the cost of college texts would more than pay for the device the first year. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 1:09:35 PM, you wrote: MR John Sessoms wrote: From: Godfrey DiGiorgi damm funny http://scottbourne.com/post/368750997/q-a-with-scott-bourne-about-the-ipad I guess you had to be there.

Re: Message from Henry Posner, Part I
Thank you for the response Henry. I read/skimmed the The Equitable Doctrine of Unilateral Mistake. Here's my thoughts and I preface they are obviously simply my opinions: http://www.lctjournal.washington.edu/vol1/a002groebner.html 1. I couldn't find whether the The Equitable Doctrine of Unilateral Mistake is simply that, or if it really has any basis in law. Since the article I read came from a law journal, I assume it must at least have been recognized in legal decisions that set precedents. 2. In either case it is very vague and fuzzy and open to much interpretation. 3. As you mentioned, it speaks of When online retailers make honest, good-faith pricing mistakes that result in huge losses to the benefit of opportunistic online shoppers, their mistake could be grounds for rescinding the unfavorable contract under the doctrine of unilateral mistake. 4. I question whether the amount of money involved in this transaction, represented a 'huge loss'. Since I don't have near the annual revenue of BH, and I wouldn't consider it a *huge* loss if I lost $250 personally, I would say it does not represent a huge loss for BH either. I admit I don't know where I'd draw the line, but I know it would not be at $250. Earlier in the document it cites losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars that have been incurred by online retailers, because of pricing mistakes in automated systems. I can certainly understand why a retailer would want to prevent those kinds of losses, and doing so is indeed fair to the retailer. 5. The offer to sell the 2nd speaker at cost with free shipping was a move in the right direction. Not knowing what that cost is, it's hard to judge how much of a concession it was. However, I can understand at least, the principle of compromising so that the buyer gets a lower price, and the retailer does not lose their entire item cost. 6. I still think it would have been better, and in the long term interests of both customer loyalty and BH's reputation, to simply honor the original contract as it stood. Thank you again. Tom C. Actually I was emailing replies all along. Unfortunately for me I'd registered here under hen...@bhphotovideo.com and learned only this morning that our back-end people had changed me to hen...@bhphoto.com so every message I'd sent here bounced. Since the topic has died down I don't think tossing gas on dieing embers is particularly fruitful. The product in question was not a Pentax product and the customer in question is, as far as I can tell, not a subscriber to this group. I am reluctant to go too far OT, but briefly we sell a particular speaker for 250.00 each. We inadvertently posted on our site the speaker was selling for 250.00/pair. The customer placed an order which was transmitted to the warehouse where they were unaware of the site error and shipped the customer a speaker. He contacted us and we offered a variety of reasonable compromises including the chance to buy the 2nd speaker for our cost with free shipping. Lawyers I know say a compromise is when both parties are equally dissatisfied. We were unable to reach a compromise with the customer. We regret the error and regret not being able to come to a compromise. Someone speculated about the original review disappearing from the site. The author of the review revised it. That sent it from active to pending status. Once the pending period expired the review returned to visibility. BH had nothing to do wit that. Regarding legalities, our site and our site's disclaimer and our response to this situation have all been vetted by our in-house lawyer. We are confident of the legality. I believe my first post, forwarded by another member of this group, referenced The Equitable Doctrine of Unilateral Mistake. It is germane. On a personal note, one person here posted the following at various times: Posner's whine ...Posner's just the waterboy for them...BH lied about their pricing...So, we now have BH Photo who come off looking like a bunch of lying scumbags...attack dog Posner...

Re: Scott Bourne, QA With Scott Bourne About the iPad
From: paul stenquist I found it funny. Although I have to admit that I find the reaction of the Apple haters even more humorous. I don't hate Apple, I just don't see their products providing a level of additional value commensurate with their higher cost. I do take a cynical view of Apple's vocal proponents because the actual performance, when I can actually get them to SHOW ME, doesn't meet the hype. I hear a lot about how much better Apple is, but for some reason Apple's proponents get mighty shy when it comes time to actually demonstrate it. Mostly I've seen the spinning pizza wheel of death. Like I wrote, I got people telling me I'm stupid because I don't have an iphone in the very same breath that they're cussin' their own iphone because they can't get it to work. But you know, I got to wonder - who's really stupid? Me for not having something I can't get to work or them for having something they can't get to work? In the last couple of years though, I have come to the conclusion that Steve Jobs is as big an oxygen thief as Bill Gates. -- 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.

Surgery tomorrow!
Not for me, but for Dr. Lisa and her broken wrist. When she came home yesterday even *I* could tell that it was going to need to be pinned back together. Quite ugly looking. Fortunately, since Lisa's specialty is bone tumors, she knows the orthopedic surgeons pretty well - not that she'll be seen by any of the ones at Children's Hospital! But they know who the best guys in rest of the Harvard Medical System are. Um, best guys and women - I think the surgeon who's doing Lisa's wrist is a woman.

SDM repair complete
Just got my DA* 16-50 back from Pentax's outsourced service center (C.R.I.S. Camera Service, in Arizona). They did a terrible packing job with the lens, letting it float free in a box of styrofoam peanuts that wasn't completely full. UPS managed to smash up the box pretty bad, but thankfully didn't appear to hit the lens itself. Front element had a weird, oily haze on it. Might have been from the plastic bag the lens was in. Cleaned up alright, thankfully. Mounted the lens and the SDM worked immediately (you may recall my lens used to take 10-20 seconds for the SDM motor to activate previously). The AF even seems a little faster than before. Woo! Receipt said they replaced the HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor). Hopefully the technician didn't shoehorn a Sigma motor in there somehow. ;) John -- http://www.neovenator.com http://www.cafepress.com/jacelio -- 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.

Laptop computers with good displays?
Anyone know of any laptop computers with good (IPS/MVA/PVA) displays? Particularly any reasonably sized ones?

It's a total nothing lights up failure, so I have a sneaking suspicion that it's something very basic and not a prohibitively expensive fix.
