WTB: Hood for FA50/1.4

[Boris Liberman]

Hi!

Galia's FA 50/1.4 used to have rubber collapsing hood. But it seems to 
be wearing out to the point where it cannot be used any longer.


Anyone having a hood (preferably metal) that they could enable me with. 
I'd pay with PayPal, of course.


Collin, in the other thread mentioned a metal slide on hood - that could 
be most useful as well.


Thanks.

Boris

Don't be fooled by having a K-5 you could do as well as this.

Don't laptop batteries do the same?  I'm looking at replacing the battery in my 
Macbook Pro and that's not exactly cheap, but it's nothing like the price of 
yours.

Sure. But with 140 watt/hours, I could run the camera and your laptop
combined probably for longer than your laptop battery would run your
laptop. The point is the current - I need high current because typically
I've got the camera running, one or two radio mic receivers, an 11 watt
LED light on top and a wireless video/audio digilink to the sat-truck,
all from one battery, which weighs over 5 lbs :(

whole different story - not having read the specs the battery looks

at 60 gbp/lb it is actually cheaper than some laptop batteries so I

OT Le Coupe de Grey

[David J Brooks]

To day is the Grey Cup game, Canada's answer to the Super Bowl, only
better, being played in Edmonton Alberta. Game time temp is reported
to be around -10C.

Montreal and Saskatchewan are playing. The Riders lost to the Al's
last year on a last second penalty for to many men on the field.
Hopefully this year they have players that can count.;-)

Go Riders.

Dave

PS Even Chris Berman of ESPN mentions the game on his 2 minute drill.

I used vuescan when i had my Epson 2450 hooked up. Found it pretty

Re: Enablement: Biting the bullet on the K1000 + 50mm f/?

[Adam Maas]

Ansel was never much of a 35mm shooter (his preferred non-LF camera
was a Hasselblad, at least late in his career). And most of his 35mm
stuff was RF-era although IIRC he did shoot some with a Nikon F late
in his career.

One thing to recall is that Ansel was pretty much at the end of his
shooting career by the time SLR's became common. He did most of his
shooting from the late 1920's through the early 1960's.

Re: OT: Epson V500

[Adam Maas]

1200dpi is low for MF work. I scan MF and LF with my Epson 4870
(predecessor to the V700) and use 2400dpi for MF and 1200 for LF
(Can't use 2400dpi for LF as it exceeds the 10,000 pixel limit on
older versions of PS). 1200dpi just doesn't give me a really usable
file from MF negs.

3200 is probably overkill even for 35mm as most flatbeds don't
actually resolve appreciably more than 2000dpi. That said, it won't
hurt anything and files remain reasonably sized.

 I like it very much. Been fooling around, relearning how to scan negs.
 It's been nearly 10 years since I've scanned for myself.

 I've made a couple scans at 3200 dpi and the results are good enough
 for me. Those scans net me a JPG file that's 5mb and equates to a
 little more than 8x12 at 300dpi. There is just a hint of softness to
 the scans, but nothing someone would notice unless they're pixel

PESO - Sunrise, November 28

[frank theriault]

I heard that yesterday's sunrise was absolutely spectacular.

I missed it.

So I went out this morning, and it (quite frankly) was rather subdued.
 Still, there was a certain beauty in its subtlety, I think:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/sunrise-november-28.html

No need to comment on this one, really (although you certainly may if
you feel so compelled).  Just a record of the start of the day, I
guess.

*istD, Tokina 80-200mm f2.8, Manfrotto monopod

Also went on my first "nature walk" since all the leaves and flowers
left, and since most of the fauna either hibernated or flew south.
Very quiet, very few photos, at least until I decided to put on the
macro and look for a "smaller world".  Don't know if I'll show any of
them yet, but it was fun taking them.

cheers,
frank

This year the Als will overcome last year's embarrassment of winning
by a penalty.  They will crush the 'Riders.

Okay, I actually think it will be a close game, but I'm pulling for
the team from my childhood hometown.

Go Alouettes.

RE: OT: Image editors, WAS: Epson V500

[John Sessoms]

From: Nick David Wright


An image editor for me doesn't have to be fancy. I'm really, honestly,
mostly happy with iPhoto.

But I've really come to like the curves control. And I miss unsharp
mask. iPhoto and Aperture only have "sharpen."



I don't usually use unsharp mask. I sharpen by creating a duplicate 
layer & applying a high-pass filter. Crank the filter up until the edges 
have the definition you want, then change the screen mode for the layer 
to "soft light" (... hard light, multiply or screen as suits your taste).


You can do as many of these layers as you want with different levels of 
sharpening and use layer masks to confine the effect to the part of the 
image you want to have that level of sharpening.

I like this a lot.  It's evocative.

If I had to change anything at all, it would be to crop out the person

Kuwait NOT Banning DSLRs

[Doug Franklin]

http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MzAwMTg4ODg1


"RETRACTION

On Saturday, November 20, 2010 the Kuwait Times published an article 
titled 'Multi ministry camera ban frustrates artists' in which incorrect 
information was provided. The newspaper regrets failing to verify the 
information. The article wrongly stated that a ban on DSLR cameras was 
implemented by the Ministries of Information, Social Affairs and 
Finance. This information is false. In a follow up investigation, it was 
proved that no such ban has been issued. We regret this error and deeply 
apologize for any inconvenience caused."

Much better.  The vignetting spoiled the enjoyment - for me anyway.

No. 1 is a really intriguing image - had me scratching my head for a
while but your explanation to Ralf makes it all clear.  That's my
favourite of the set but 4, 5 and 6 all give it a close run.

Fascinating. Sorry for being late replying, but it gave me the opportunity 
to notice that you have produced two versions of the same gallery - with 
and without the strong vignette. It seems the truth is as usual in the 
middle, 'cause some of the shots benefit from the effect, and with others 
the vignette is a distraction.


You sure had fun.

A question though - how did you performed the partial discoloration on 
this shot:

Now this is why I wanted my own scanner

Got this film back from Walgreens a couple weeks back. I was really
excited to see a photo I'd made of my little town's Baptist Church.

I was disappointed when the scan came back really bad:

I pulled the neg out this morning to scan for myself and was happy to
find the photo much more like I'd imagined it:

I was photographing at a new venue last night, which has proven to be the

but of one of the microphones.

K-x, K-mount Takumar 135/2.5 1/30 sec, probably wide open.

I haven't quite figured out the cropping yet though. If you're curious 
there are a couple crops of this shot, and another similar one in the set.

Wow!  I had no idea how badly those places could screw up a print!  
I mean, I knew they could do it.  But, good Lord!  I figured technology 
had taken some of that capacity away from them by now.


It's a small consolation to know that, when I get my prints back and 
they look like crap compared to the files I sent, it's probably not 
because I don't have a clue what I'm doing when I'm editing my images.  
That's something I remain willing to concede, however.

Re: Boy

Ann's correct...cropping the person on the left destroys the balance.  
It shifts the boy just a little to the left of center and puts him 
walking out of the frame.  The uncropped version is best.

Best get a lens cap, IIRC the K1000 meter works just like the Spotmatic 
F, it turns on when you remove the lens cap, leaving the lens cap off 
while not using it drains the battery relatively quickly.

Well, I've just returned with my new K1000 and the attached 
M-50/2, and all looks to be in order.  The camera itself is in fine 
shape, though you can tell it's been sitting for a while -- some 
dustiness in the  leather.  I'm sure it could stand a good overall 
cleaning, though I doubt the lens has been off the thing in quite some 
time.  The shutter speed control feels crisp and snappy, the winder 
moves very smoothly, film advance feels good.


The lens didn't have either front or rear caps (and, consequently, the 
battery's dead), but appears to be in good shape -- tiny nicks around 
the very end of the lens casing, but no other apparent signs of wear.  
The glass appears immaculate and there's no sign of oil on the 
aperture blades.  Unfortunately, it's dark and cold outside, so I 
can't really test it under preferred lighting conditions.  But, what 
shots I have taken, even at maximum aperture, appear tack-sharp.  I do 
think I'm going to like this lens a lot!


And, if it is indeed good enough for St. Ansel, I suppose I could 
learn to live with it.  :-)

Re: Enablement: Biting the bullet on the K1000 + 50mm f/?

[P. J. Alling]

You've got that backwards Paul.  The K series, preceded the M series of 
cameras, which made Pentax in the '70's, (a lot of ME and ME variant 
cameras were sold).  The K1000 was release soon after the introduction 
of the M series after the other K series cameras were dropped.  It the 
various cameras after the M series and Minolta's introduction of the 
first really practical Auto Focus cameras began Pentax's decline.

photography had slipped considerably by the time of the K series launch, and 
the K1000, while a nice student camera, was the entry level offering of the 
Pentax K lines. In other words, Ansel Adams probably never touched one, 
although if he had, he might have liked it.

The ZX-M is really a nice little camera for being "cheap" plastic.  I

coincidentally, this afternoon i just picked up a ZX-M with an SMC A 
50 2.0 for [price withheld to keep Walter cheerful]; mainly just 
wanted the lens; on craigslist people sometimes advertise a cheap 
Pentax body and don't even mention the lens, or don't specify it 
exactly, and i think that turns off a lot of potential buyers, so 
that's the opportunity i took, similar to yours, Walter ...


i already have an SMC M 50 1.4, which i enjoy; i am pretty good with 
the green button, then guessing what adjustment to add since my k200d 
is not very accurate at exposure, but it really slows me down; i'm 
looking forward to just dialing in compensation and using A mode on 
the A 50 2.0, even though it will be dimmer in the viewfinder


(anyone want a ZX-M, looks fairly clean, function unknown, for the 
cost of shipping?)

RE: Now this is why I wanted my own scanner

[John Sessoms]

From: Nick David Wright


Got this film back from Walgreens a couple weeks back. I was really
excited to see a photo I'd made of my little town's Baptist Church.

I was disappointed when the scan came back really bad:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedalingprose/5106011280/

I pulled the neg out this morning to scan for myself and was happy to
find the photo much more like I'd imagined it:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedalingprose/5214398131/

I'm a happy camper.


Gives you the chance to experiment with the in between as well.

I think you might scan it again with a different exposure to bring the 
church itself a little closer to what the drugstore got, maybe halfway 
between the Walgreens image and your image.


Then sandwich the images to create a slightly more luminous foreground 
without losing that brooding sky in the background.

Re: Enablement: Biting the bullet on the K1000 + 50mm f/?

[Adam Maas]

The M series were something of an uptick in Pentax's fortunes as
things had been headed downhill after the success of the early
Spotmatics. The later Spotties never sold as well as the early ones
and the K series didn't really sell any better which is why they were
replaced so quickly. But even the M's didn't stall Pentax's decline,
instead they cemented Pentax's reputation as a low-end camera company.

Remember in the mid-60's Pentax dominated the 35mm SLR world alongside
Nikon. By 1972-73 they were a much smaller player as Canon and Minolta
in particular had introduced successful modern designs. Pentax never
came close to regaining the marketshare or status they had in the
mid/late 60's.

Very nice & relatively unique given the level of todays equipment - The

I get from looking at images taken a long time ago on B+W.

Only nit - I'd probably rotate it clockwise a bit to level it out - or not.

Exactly. And the K1000 preceded the M Series by at least a few months.  I was 
just starting to do some race track shooting in the early seventies and Pentax 
was still fairly well respected then. But when the K series was released and 
was apparently nothing more than a Spotmatic F with a bayonet mount, they're 
fortunes hit the skids. However, the 6x7 soon became very desirable among the 
pros, even the race track shooters I hung with. It established Pentax as a top 
end player in MF, but an amateur and student brand in 35mm. In some ways, that 
positioning persists today.

Re: Enablement: Biting the bullet on the K1000 + 50mm f/?

[paul stenquist]

The K1000 was introduced one year after the other K variants and just a bit 
before the M cameras. The K1000 was the only K series camera that continued in 
production after the M intro. But Pentax had already fallen behind a bit by the 
time the K series was introduced. I debated buying one but decided they were 
overpriced, since they didn't really improve on the Spotmatics by any 
significant degree.

 As for the camera, maybe it's not the "greatest" but its all anyone
 ever needs to make a photo. And it will teach you more about

GESO - Mini Sydney PDML

[Brian Walters]

Dave Mann from Kiwiland was in Sydney last week and we had an enjoyable
walk around Sydney Harbour for a couple of hours (so, it was a 'mini'
PDML meet up as there were just the two of us).

Here's a few shots:

The K1000 may have been a Spotmatic F with a bayonet mount but I always
felt that the others in the K series were maligned unfairly.  My
favourite of the K and M series has always been the KX - it's
match-needle metering system was very intuitive - much more so than that
of the later MX.  The MX is wonderful but I find it just too small.

Thanks Jack.  It was a great day but Dave's a good bit younger than me
and I was fairly knackered by the end of the walk!

The MX lacked the great weakness of the K line, the very unrefined
build & feel. While I'm not a big MX fan (I found it smallish,
unreliable and the viewfinder is a triumph of specifications over
utility) I'd be hard pressed to take any of the K line over a MX
without the on/off problems. I've shot with the KX and K1000 and owned
a K2. They're competent cameras but after working extensively with the
Nikon FM2n and FE2 (which are essentially the FM and FE with better
shutters, the basic design is concurrent with the K series) it's hard
to call the K series anything other than competent but unimpressive
cameras.

Of course the only Pentax 35mm bodies I've truly liked are the LX and
PZ-1p, particularly the LX.

Dave Mann from Kiwiland was in Sydney last week and we had an enjoyable
walk around Sydney Harbour for a couple of hours (so, it was a 'mini'
PDML meet up as there were just the two of us).

Here's a few shots:

Well, I've never used the Nikons so I have no basis for comparison, and
my relatively recently aquired LX remains unused (something I will
definitely redress in the new year).  Having held the KX, MX and LX,
though, I still like the 'feel' of the KX over the others.  Maybe I'm
just odd 

I'm not sure what you mean by the "on/off problems".


Cheers

Re: Now this is why I wanted my own scanner

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

When I was shooting film and having to send it out for processing, it
darn near made me stop.
I don't know how a photographer can do Photography without control of
the process.

Timelapse

[SV Hovland]

Two nice time-lapse videos found on the net.

http://vimeo.com/16917950

I liked the last one. Great idea to move the camera between pictures.
