I wonder if any of you knew this?  The 645D will be released here (Australia) in August.  The staff 
of Pentax Australia (CR Kennedy) are insisting that it will NOT be released in the US, EVER.  This 
is because apparently "nobody" in the US would buy it, and Aussie Pentax has a "very 
good relationship" with Japan Pentax.  Can anyone else back up this claim?

RRP of the 645D in Australia will be aud$15k.

What else??  Erm, that thing is HUGE and HEAVY and AWESOME, and I WANT ONE!!

Here's a pic of it next to my K-7, it DWARFS it!!

CR Kennedy just doesn't want you lot waiting to buy it through B&H to 
save some money.

Unless of course they deliver something finer, then maybe we can have
another couple of 50mm and maybe a new 70mm just to even things up.

When they're discontinued, B&H labels them as discontinued, even if 
Pentax USA still says an item is current.  Usually anyway.

Re: equipment issues this week

I have a small imperfection in my K20D's LCD, it was annoying me.  I 
feel much better about it now.

I don't think I mentioned that on Monday I went to a dance in the city.  when I 
got back to the car, a little after 2, I saw that my trunk was open.

As far as I can tell, the only thing that they took was the fannypack that I 
had picked up in Chicago, after a fair bit of searching around for just this 
pack. Of course it also had my Raynox, some hybrid AAs, spare battery for my 
phone, checkbook and probably a couple other things in it.  I'm guessing that 
it was about a $200 hit.

I think that what happened was that when I closed the trunk there was something 
in the way of the latch and the trunk didn't latch. The good news is that they 
didn't get the carbon fiber tripod. The better news is that before I went up to 
the city I took the bag of lenses I don't use that often and the tammy 300/2.8 
out of the trunk. So it could have been a lot worse.

Last night, when I got home from photographing some friends play at JJ's, I 
noticed that the LCD on top of my K20 had taken a hit:

Maybe, if and when, I upgrade I'll send it in. But as long as it works, and it 
has the plastic scratch protector on it to keep water out, it's not worth the 
money, or being without my camera for a month.  I have no idea how it happened. 
I didn't drop the camera or bash it with anything.

using a "regular" 50mm might work, but not as well
as a dedicated macro bellows lens will work. Another
low cost but high performance solution is to use a enlarging lens via
adapter. Those are similar to a macro bellows lens.

Just had to share this apparent gem.

Kirk Tuck in his blog points out a great macro bellows deal, a
Fotodiox for $49.95 US at Amazon.

He has tested it (on Canon) and found it to be as advertised, tough
and accurate.

Kirk's blog entry: http://is.gd/cCu8R

A link to the Pentax flavour of it at Amazon.com is:
http://is.gd/cCuc9

I think even I can afford this! The only showstopper for me is that
my only macro lens is a DA Ltd and as such has no aperture ring. I'd
have to try the reversing ring trick with my old SMC 50mm or rummage
around for a deal on an old macro.

Has anyone here tried one out by any chance?

-bmw



I haven't tried that particular one, but I've used bellows before. 
Note you
can use a regular 50mm on it, no need for a macro lens as the Bellows 
will
provide plenty of extension (my current bellows gets 2:1 magnification 
with

a 50mm lens).

AFAIR it's always been like this, it took Henry's 3 months to get a

RE: Early 1900s in Colour

[John Coyle]

Mike appears to be correct in identifying it as a Farman, but there are some
significant differences: there are, for example, three wing strut pairs in
the Kahn photo against four in the Farman Shorthorn: however, since many of
these planes were basically hand-built, I would expect variations to occur
as the designers (and the pilots!) gained more experience of practical
configurations.The machine gun mounting in the nose is probably a late
modification, perhaps made in the field, as there is no such mounting in the
Farman illustration.  From further research into Caudron models, it is
unlikely that it was built by that company, as all their models for which I
can find illustrations had puller airscrews rather than pushers.

I'm fairly sure now that it's some variation of a Farman Shorthorn.
http://www.aviastar.org/air/france/farman_mf-11.php

You can see that the tail fin is likely to be one half of a pair.  I
suspect it has been front-line modified into a bomber and the
apparatus on the left side of the nose is some form of bomb-aiming
device.  Hence the bombs on the ground in front of it.  The design of
this particular machine does not, to my eye, encourage the throwing of
ordnance.  Too much stuff for it to hit/catch on before it is clear.

I assumed the round thing was a Lewis gun magazine but now I'm not so sure.

Re: PESO: Bridlevail Falls

[Jack Davis]

Before assigning that title I checked with Google and found the correct 
spelling to be as shown. I, just now, checked "Bridalveil" with Google and 
found that to be even more correct.;) Tie was broken with a park map, as well 
as a AAA TourBook, both of which agree with you.
It pleases me, however, that you couldn't find anything wrong with the image. 


Thanks for commenting, Rick!

Jack (about to correct the title)

FS Friday

[eckinator]

Trying my luck again now that the Euro is down to US$ 1.20 from almost
1.40. Still on reduced sick pay so I need to let a lot of stuff go.
Some of this was part of other purchases that just sort of collected
over time.

Pentax smc-DFA 50/2.8 complete package, hardly used (optioned). Having
a DA* 16-50 and also a DFA 100, the DFA 50 tends to get overlooked
when I pack my bag so it has to go.

Pentax Refconverter M

Cullmann 3335 tripod with upside-down center column, 3 way head and
detachable macro arm, proprietary quick release, complete set of
accessories

Cullmann Titan CT 77 low profile macro/adjustment rail, rather
underrated product

Tiltall tripod, post-Marchioni, post-Leitz, probably Star-D, like new
in box, was my standard tripod till I got the Quadropod, supports
fairly heavy kits, one leg doubles as a monopod, and upside down
center column replaceable with Gitzo and identical diameters, fixed 3
way head but it should come off with some force and fancy language.

Emo Wetzlar Quattro Axial (locking axis, supports upside down use) and
Quickmaster (qr uses proprietary, arca-shaped but smaller plate)
tripod heads, ideal for viewfinder and EVIL cameras and lighter kits
plus one qr base and plate, qr plate size ideal for P&S, EVIL and
rangefinder cameras

Old school ROWI hot shoe mount infrared remote release, sync cable
looks like Nikon but have to check. You can basically have it for free

Canon viewfinder magnifier S, fits most rectangular eyepieces but not
Pentax, maybe with some modification, haven't tried

Also, Canon FD stuff, anyone?

Novoflex K mount auto bellows BALPENT-AS, 2 minor paint chips, soft drive action
or
Novoflex K mount auto bellows BALPENT-AS, 1 minor paint chip, tight
drive action (means lubrication is no longer as good but also means
you no longer have to mind locking the drive before pointing the
camera downwards so there is also an advantage and it is cheaper, too)
for both
matching Auto Bellows Macro Noflexar 60/4 APENT-60, dust and fungus
free, aperture not sticky or oily
matching Auto Bellows Macro Noflexar 105/4 APENT-105, fungus free,
aperture not sticky or oily but some dust, doesn't hurt pictures
also
Novoflex auto bellows for Minolta MC/MD mount, exc in box

for all the above
matching sun shade bellows BALSON-AK
matching slide copier attachment BALCOP-K
matching 49 mm M-Ring adaptor
matching 52 mm M-Ring adaptor
matching Novoflex CASTEL-K adjustment rail exc. used
all no box except the lens, whole kit in great condition

Novoflex Auto Duo Flash with TTL adaptor for analog Pentax bodies plus
one for analog and older digital Nikons, generally good condition with
two minor exceptions: under serial shooting left flash head will stop
firing after 3 or 4 shots, all it needs to resume is a small break,
maybe a capacitor getting old, also one case seam widened, seems it
took some heat or pressure maybe

Novoflex MC-Vertikal L bracket for MiniConnect quick release system,
comes with two MC plates, plus one extra MC plate sold separately

Novoflex PentPro adaptor to connect Pentax 6x7 camera to Novoflex
Balpro and Balpro T/S bellows

Finally, tons of filters and step up and step down rings, too much to
list, let me know what you need.

shipping at cost, trackable, insured. Payment up front BIC/IBAN.
DHL unless carrier indicated. Favorable rates via my workplace

Please contact me offlist for prices etc. Prices will be low end eBay Germany.

Thanks for looking

i think this is solvable, but vague descriptions are not going to cut

sounds to me like the message that occurs for unformated volumes or 
volumes whose format Mac OS X can't recognize; the same message can 
occur on drives with electrical/physical problems or with volume corruption


so why are you getting the message? it might have to do with how La Cie 
sets up the drive -- La Cie is not the same fantastic vendor it was ten 
or fifteen years ago, they make futzy drives and i avoid them; is it 
possible there's an additional partition in an odd format, perhaps one 
supplied by LaCie? to find out open Disk Utility, click on the drive 
name in the left column, and click on the Partition tab -- what do you 
see? also what is the Partition Map Scheme reported toward the bottom of 
that display? are you on Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6?


btw, are you properly dismounting the drive before removing it?

given the right details i can do some googling for your gurus

Re: Macro bellows: fifty bucks!

[Adam Maas]

Flat field of focus to be exact, which is a common design feature of
macro lenses, not specific to bellows macros. What's unique about
bellows macros is that they are short barrel lenses and require a
bellows to hit infinity in most configurations.

Pentax made one, Nikon made a couple and Olympus made about 4,
including a 20mm f2.

Re: Mini GESO - If it has a ringtone it isnt a camera, right?

This thread makes a nice counterpoint to the "are cameras the new
guns" thread.  What can you really do when everyone has a phone that
has a camera?  You are no longer picking on a minority.

Re: Macro bellows: fifty bucks!

What you really want is a lens optimized to have a flat depth of field. 
Pentax made one - a 100mm for a screw mount.

Macro lenses are better for this use as JCO notes, and enlarging
lenses are also good choices, but you can use non-macro lenses too.

Re: Macro bellows: fifty bucks!

With a bellows you don't need a macro lens. A basic bellows like that
one without aperture transmission is nothing more than an adjustable
length extension tube but heavier. The helix drive Pentax ones are
great but hard to come by. Alternatively, I still have two Novoflex
bellows with aperture transmission for sale that I was too lazy to put
up on eBay. EUR 100 for the better one, USD 100 for the older.

Rumour: The 31 Ltd has been discontinued (welcome the DA* 30mm f/1.4?)

[Miserere]

Some guy just started a rumour on PentaxForums that the 31 Ltd has
been discontinued based on the lack of stock at major store sites. He
thinks this might herald the arrival of the fabled DA* 30mm f/1.4.

http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-news-rumors/103664-how-rumours-born-new-30mm-prime-lens-coming-soon.html

I hope it doesn't come riding on a silver surfboard...

Macro bellows: fifty bucks!

[Bruce Walker]

Just had to share this apparent gem.

Kirk Tuck in his blog points out a great macro bellows deal, a Fotodiox 
for $49.95 US at Amazon.


He has tested it (on Canon) and found it to be as advertised, tough and 
accurate.


Kirk's blog entry: http://is.gd/cCu8R

A link to the Pentax flavour of it at Amazon.com is:
http://is.gd/cCuc9

I think even I can afford this!  The only showstopper for me is that my 
only macro lens is a DA Ltd and as such has no aperture ring.  I'd have 
to try the reversing ring trick with my old SMC 50mm or rummage around 
for a deal on an old macro.


Has anyone here tried one out by any chance?

HA! some a-hole stole my peacock photo:

or full size:

The others are pretty good but there are a lot of studio shots and some serious 
color enhancement going on.

Thanks, I seriously appreciate your point, Dave. Maybe when they include a 8x10 
sensor.(?) ;=))

You can do a screen shot, a window shot, or a selected area shot of  any 
proportion or size with a Mac, either through keyboard shortcuts,  or 
using the "included with the O/S" little program called "Grab".   Can't 
show you here, because this list has never gotten past the DOS  6.2.2 era. 
:-)


Can't you post a screenshot with a Mac? I was doing that as far back as 
Win98

I've never had a book refuse to open because I've read it too many times.



I'm sure Kindle will change all that...
