RE: peso - portrait
Flickr (which I still hate) provides every particle of EXIF info except the aperture. Sheesh. What was the aperture? That probably means it's a manual lens that doesn't communicate aperture information to the body. Someone else in the thread suggested a Lensbaby, which looks plausible to me.

[...] St. Louis county (surrounding, but not including, the city of St. Louis) has, or at least had, blue laws which restricted the sale of alcohol on Sundays. From the time the bars closed at 1 or 2 AM until noon, I couldn't buy any, which is ridiculous because all the people who care are in church and couldn't see me buying it anyway. Maybe that's the reason for the blue law. It would have been impossible for them to keep tabs on us drunks if we could just do whatever the hell we wanted while they were singing some damn depressing hymn. But I can't blame that on the Baptists. St. Louis is predominantly Catholic. Go figure. That's unusual - normally it's the Catholics who have all the fun. The protestants are the miserable ones.

K-x
Has any one found a K-x, new, with out a kit lens. I have looked at Henrys, Visteck and McBains and they all sell it for $699 with the 18-55 kit. I'm shooting my nephews wedding in July and i have talked to them about what they want. They are looking for minimul flash, and as much natural light as possible. I'm now toying with the idea of getting the K-x to use in any building and reception hall shots. I'm very impressed with the high ISO shots form Bruce, Larry and Adam, that i have seen so far. I was planning on getting some of those umbrella adaptors that go on light stands and a radio trigger for this event, from link-delight, but i may just get them anyway to have.

RE: PESOs - Performance shots
My daughter Anna and her 3 friends have formed a musical theatre performance collective called Upside Down Frown Productions. Their first show, This has Nothing to do With Love, was in the basement bar of an Italian restaurant in central London. A sellout both nights. I was there to provide the sound system, but couldn't resist taking some pictures during the dress rehearsal (Anna's the one with the blue bands on her mic). http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/NothingtodoWithLove/slides/_IGP1800.jpg http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/NothingtodoWithLove/slides/_IGP1841.jpg http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/NothingtodoWithLove/slides/_IGP1847.jpg http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/NothingtodoWithLove/slides/_IGP1854.jpg http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/NothingtodoWithLove/slides/_IGP1859.jpg The performance was fantastic; the light was absolutely rubbish - K7D, DA* 16-50 and DA* 50-135, ISO 3200, mostly a 60th at f2.8.

You lose: focus point indication weather sealing second thumbwheel Softer skin over the body A lot of size and weight (on the camera not the photographer, sorry) One shutter press bracketing. LCD size The UI is very good for the limited number of buttons. I might put the functions of the buttons in a different order, but they aren't too tough to get used to. I don't know how the sensors compare at low ISO, but over K10 I'm sure that you'll be blown away by the usability of the high ISO. For shooting a wedding the video could be very handy. It is surprisingly high quality. The camera does take some learning to get the most out of, so make sure you have some time to practice with it. Even so, it took me longer to come up to speed with the K20 from the K100 than it did with the K-x.

Re: OT - Congrats, Tim!
Awesome! Choice quote from Tim's announcement (http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/03/15/Joining-Google): because freedom’s not just another word for anything, nor is it an optional ingredient. Yes! furthermore, Tim also states about the iPhone: I hate it. He can't be a bad person. So congratulations, Tim. I feel this is an important move in your career, even though you won't actually move anywhere. And that's an achievement in and of itself. You can't put a price on working in your pyjamas. Now, do you need a remote assistant or something? Let me know if you're hiring. My qualifications: - I can surf the web. A lot. Like, really, a lot. I'm even using the internet while I type this e-mail. I know, astonishing. - I can program in Fortran. I believe the internet is Fortran's ultimate frontier. Just think about it, Android calculating and running subroutines in Fortran--that would be so retro! - I don't blame Canada for *anything*, not even for winning *that* gold medal in Vancouver. - I hate iPhone.

They should, shouldn't they? Could have saved myself some beer money and just used recycled drink bottles.

I wouldn't use anything plastic in the dark room. Glass or stainless steel for the working solutions too. ann -- 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: GESO - Runde at wintertime
Thanks Ann. CA is chromatic aberration, a generic term for color artefacts that usually shows up in high contrast situations. It is hard to see it at this resolution, so it isn't really relevant. It was just a techie way of telling who the person is.
