RE: What gear is on your short list?
With the exception of Godfrey, who sounds like he has achieved gear nirvana I guess Siddhartha Godfrey is the photobuddha. ;-) Apparently if you rub his belly it's good luck. Not sure who for though. I have almost attained a similarly karmic state. I need a new Olympus E body because of the foolishness that happened to my E-1, and I'd also like an M9. I have all the lenses and other stuff I want. The only reason to buy more would be if I went on safari or something where I needed more specialised kit. In that case I might consider renting rather than buying. I bought some photo gear yesterday - the first for a long time. I've been away from home for quite a while and the need has arisen for me to take some photos which require flash, so I bought a used Vivitar 2500 for £10-. While I was testing it in the shop on my M8 the dealer offered me the chance of a used M9 which is apparently coming in later this year. The owner bought it, used it a few times, decided he wasn't going to take any more pictures, and now wants to sell it. My good luck perhaps? Goddha, your belly please!

Re: I'm going to cry now... I STOPPED CRYING :_)
Ann, It would appear that the design of the hard drive enclosure is poor, not allowing enough air circulating inside - this leads to overheating, and when metal components get hot, they expand. With small and critical tolerances, this leads to early failure. If you want to continue using the drive in the short term, find the air vent holes (I think they are in the base on this one) and orientate the device so those holes are pointing straight up. Keep it cool - maybe next to a window. Retrieve your data. It could well be that the hard drive inside will continue to function perfectly normally inside a different enclosure, or better yet, in a drive dock like Paul has and recommended. But don't bank on it. Whatever hard drive you have, it is a pretty good idea to have two of them (not necessarily by the same manufacturer!) and use one as your main external drive, and the other purely as a duplicate safety backup. That way, you will always have a failsafe copy of all your data. Hope this helps and best of luck (and a hug!) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.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: What gear is on your short list?
Why has no-one mentioned a 645D so far? Apart from one of those (which is really in the land of fantasy), I'd like the 645 150mm f/2.8 to replace the f/3.5 MF version I have. Additionally a FA 20mm f/2.8 to replace my MF version and that'll just about complete my range of primes - I've stuck to 35mm primes in the probably forlorn hope that we'll have an FF body one day.

Re: I'm going to cry now...
Ouch! Oh, that is not fun. We had a drive crash that had all our financial data on it a while back. A local computer guy was able to recover things but I'm not sure exactly how he did it. I do know he had to crack the hard drive case and plug it into his computer with some sort of adapter. Once he convinced the drive to run he was able to use some recovery software on it.

Summary: not really actively shopping, but if anything I am most likely to buy a micro 4/3 body and a DA 12-24 lens. 1. Pentax APS-C format: I haven't decided yet whether I'll replace my K20D's with K-5's or wait for the next generation body. Lets see, lenses . . . a. Zooms? I have the 16-50, 50-135, and 60-250. I would definitely like the DA12-24, and I wouldn't refuse if someone offered to give me a FA* 250-600 but I can't really say that I need one. b. Macro? I have one each 50mm, 100mm, 200mm. The DA35 would fill out the set but isn't really needed. c. Other primes? I have a 400mm in transit that I just bought for an upcoming birding trip. Can't think of any others I need right now. 2. Other Pentax: I would not refuse the gift of a 645D and associated lens kit. But if I had the money, I think I would instead go on a couple of photo trips (Antarctica South Africa). But only if I could find a FA* 250-600. 3. Other other: I would like a digital body of some sort which would allow me to use the several Leica M lenses I inherited from my father-in-law, probably a micro 4/3 with EVF.

Enablement - Pentax ES
A friend of mine wanted my Minolta Autocord. I won't be using it much, since I recently got my Pentax 67. So he made me an offer - his Asahi Pentax ES w. 1.4 50mm Takumar. It uses almost the same kind of batteries like the P67 - and my Minolta flash meter. Quite convenient. I guess Silver or Lithium is not a big deal. What a nice camera. Actually very similar to the K2 (Shuatter Automatics), except for the screw mount lenses and no mirror lock up. The secreen is very bright and easy to fucus with. Now I willt look in my Spotmatic bag to see if I have other lenses I may use with the ES. When I started shooting with an SLR - the ES was the hottest camera in the store. At that time I couldn't afford it. -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. -- 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: What gear is on your short list?
From: Nick David Wright It's a special lens which allows you to move the lens elements in relation to the film plane. Gives you a small amount of control over the perspective of your photos (like the kind of control you get with a large format camera).

Re: What gear is on your short list?
Gosh, gear shortlist eh. Well, I have a long list for all sorts of gear I could do with, starting with an IP VSAT dish. (If you have to ask, don't ask ;) At the moment my stills photography consists of using my iphone 3GS. If I want to fondle some stills kit, I can play with my son's 1D and slap on my A85/1.4 but to be honest I'm not in a stills phase. I can see myself getting back into one again. I had to sell my R-D1 and lenses as I ran out of money. That is going to change around again this year, so if the X100 wasn't coming along I'd get another R-D1. That camera is the most fun I've ever had photographically - and I would still consider it again. However if the X100 lives up to the hype, then I'm in. I'm done carrying around bags of lenses and hey it was fun. But no more. The R-D1 and 3 lenses was fantastic - the X100 has a helluva lot to live up to. If the optical viewfinder does the business and the manual focus option is a real manual focus option, then I'll likely go for that. I will wait for the reviews first. It is likely I'll sell my K15/3.5 EOS fit - that will prove very interesting on eekbay eh! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.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: Enablement - Pentax ES
Ah, I remember lusting after that camera in about 1970. One of my earlier concerns with the Spotmatic I was using was that shutter speeds were in 1-f-stop detentes, and I was using Kodachrome (with not much latitude). The mere idea of a stepless shutter that could give you 1/243 of a second seemed so precise to me back then. I even recall the 1970 hype on it. The ES was for electronic shutter, but one author said that it should stand for exposure simplicity. Jeffery On Jan 23, 2011, at 9:13 AM, Jens wrote: A friend of mine wanted my Minolta Autocord. I won't be using it much, since I recently got my Pentax 67. So he made me an offer - his Asahi Pentax ES w. 1.4 50mm Takumar. It uses almost the same kind of batteries like the P67 - and my Minolta flash meter. Quite convenient. I guess Silver or Lithium is not a big deal. What a nice camera. Actually very similar to the K2 (Shuatter Automatics), except for the screw mount lenses and no mirror lock up. The secreen is very bright and easy to fucus with. Now I willt look in my Spotmatic bag to see if I have other lenses I may use with the ES. When I started shooting with an SLR - the ES was the hottest camera in the store.

I'm going to cry now...
From: Ann Sanfedele My 500 gig external harddrive crashed tonight... guess where all my recent digital photos are? This happened after I loaded PEF's onto it a couple of hours ago... a couple of weird things happned... the PEntax Lab thing said there was a loading error. I know its not the USB port because I was able to attach my 80 gig external to it and use it. WHen I plug in the drive it says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED...and says the divice has malfunctioned. aarrrgggh! Never had a drive crash on me before ... I connected it to the old puter to see if I could revive it but no, nothing... WHen I goto the trouble shooting page it tells me I should try and reconnect it (duh) and if that doesnt work REPLACE THE DEVICE the device is a Seagate free agent 500 gig drive I got as a present in 2007. All my photos from the last two years are on there The C drive was getting crowded most everything I need is on the external drive. I sthis going to cost me a fortune to save it? is it possible there is just a driver I need to reload? Hugs along with info would be much appreciated ann sad If you are lucky it will not be the hard-disk itself, but the electronics in the housing that translate from the USB. A good computer repair shop may be able to remove the drive from the housing and install it in another USB housing so that the disk is recoverable. My experience with Seagate drives is they're fairly robust and high quality. Given a choice of brands, I prefer Seagate for the external drives I've built for myself. Given that experience, I'm hopeful it will prove to be the housing rather than the drive. I can't tell you how much a shop in your area would charge for this kind of work. Around here, I'd *guess* it might cost under $150, but I could do this kind of work for myself if it happened to me, so that really is only a guess. Perhaps, not even a very well informed one. If it's the hard-disk itself, recovering the photos is going to be expensive. Probably prohibitively so. For the future, you should keep TWO external drives so you can back-up one with the other. Then if one of them fails, the least cost solution is to replace the failed drive with another external drive and use that drive as the new backup. I prefer Seagate over Western Digital for that. There's nothing really wrong with Western Digital USB drives, but the MyBook drives take a long time to mount and I've had more trouble with Western Digital drive failures than I've had with Seagate (3:1 over a 20 year period). Eventually, ALL hard-disks fail. Someone is going to chime in with It's not a backup unless it's off site! True. So, you also need a plan how you're going to afford to acquire that third drive, where you're going to keep it and how you're going to swap drives around to keep them in sync. I know that's hard to do if you don't have a lot of discretionary funds available in your budget. I'm living that right now. But the minimum two external drive setup is a lot cheaper than what it's going to cost to have someone recover those images. I hope it will turn out to be the least expensive kind of trouble, and the drive itself can be installed in a new housing and made workable again. If it is, first order of business should be to get another external drive and copy all of the files over to it so you've got two copies. - No virus found in this message.

You can take it to a computer shop and tell them you want to know if it's the electronics in the housing that failed or the hard-drive itself. Have them get the hard-drive out. They'll be able to test the drive to see if it's still usable. And, if the hard-drive is still good, they can put it into a new USB enclosure for you if you want them to. What Paul's got is a USB hard-drive dock you can just plug a bare hard-drive into to attach it to the computer. Makes them easy to swap out. ... something similar to this: http://preview.tinyurl.com/disk-dock That might work just as well as a new enclosure. Bare 500GB hard-drives are available for around $40 each on the internet; 1TB drives are about $50 1.5TB drives look to be around $70 each. It might be a low cost solution for making more than one hard-drive copy of your photographs. It'd take some back-and-forth to make duplicate backups, but it's doable. - No virus found in this message.

But perhaps capturing one of the inevitables of life -- death. Even all that BS aside, just as an image it doesn't appeal to me. Thanks, Eric. But could you please say few more words as to why this image does not appeal to you. I'd like to learn from that. Thanks for asking, Boris. Obviously, from others' reactions it's something peculiar to me. I've struggled with the question since reading it. I'm sort of at a loss. It might just be a purely peculiar emotional reaction. Some of the things I reach for -- the muted colors -- won't do because there are lots of photos with muted colors that I've really liked, e.g., Christine's foggy day in Chicago shot. Others -- composition, focus -- aren't a problem with this photo. Gets me wondering what it is -- and it may not be one simple thing -- that makes a photo speak to us. A thought that comes vaguely to mind is that maybe it has something to do with the fact it presents things to us that otherwise we might have overlooked -- e.g., Vivian Maiers' candid shots of the non-ordinariness of ordinary people, or the patterns and juxtapositions that she captures -- or when it presents something with which we're familiar in an unfamiliar way, a way that forces us to see it differently, to find it interesting or attractive when before we might not even have taken notice, e.g., an image that someone shared with the group that was a real sharp close close-up of a metallic ornament on the side of an automobile. So, that's where your question led me. I don't ascribe much validity to my top-of-the-head musings, but I guess if I had to say why at this point it would be that I don't know what you're saying, or what the photo is saying. I don't see anything I wouldn't have noticed without the image. I probably wouldn't have known that it was formerly a palm if you hadn't told us, but beyond that it just looks like a former palm. One thing that's caught my eye in the process of thinking about this is the way fronds of the palm that have broken off sort of trail off into the upper right hand corner of the image, and I kind of wonder about that. But it doesn't leap out at me. Again, setting all the BS aside, this is the first of your photos that I haven't liked. Always in the past they have been immediately attractive. Some, like your shots of Jerusalem have been pretty muted color-wise. Some -- maybe all -- have had a particular perspective, like the one shot looking up a high-rise building from close to the base. Bottom line: I really don't know. But I sure am glad you asked the question. -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- 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.

That would be large format -- a la Ansel Adams? The hoopla about Vivian Maiers got me intrigued about TLR cameras. Found out that that Yashika made some pretty good close approximations of Rollieflexes, and learned something about which of the many were best and the best deal and started tracking the D and the 12 and the 124G on eBay. Fortunately before I actually bought one I realized that it was not going to be cheap to get film processed, that scanning was not gonna be easy, etc., etc. So now that fascination is something I may come back to later but that I can't afford -- financially or otherwise -- right now. I have no need. My kit -- as y'all say -- is not state-of-the-art -- but it's exactly what I want: *ist DS, A28/2.8, M50/1.7, A/50/2.0, M/100/4 Macro, [2] M135/3.5s, and a 70-210/4. I have decent tripod and ballhead. With the store credit from my rebate escapade with Adorama I got myself a got myself a nifty simple little Sekonic light meter that I think is gonna help me learn about exposure a little more quickly. I might trade in the A20, M50, and one of the M135s on an A 50/1.7 or 1.4, but I don't really need one. The one thing I may need -- I don't know for sure yet -- is a split image focusing screen. If I decide I do I'll probably get one from Haoda Fu. His are cheaper than KatzEye's but also well-regarded. My need at this point is not for gear. I really have everything I need. It's become vividly clear to me that this takes commitment. I marvel at Frank, e.g., turning out at least one good interesting image practically every day. When I'm traveling I have the camera with me all the time and do a lot of shooting. I've learned a lot from those experiences -- even if it's only a matter of getting better at handling the camera, using the controls, etc. [I *have* learned that I'm *lousy* at focusing.] I know that if did anywhere near as much shooting at home and around town I'd learn a lot more, that without a lot more experience than I'm getting I'm not be very good even by my own standards. I have ideas -- areas around town that I could make into projects, including places where I could get some nature photography experience, taking camera with me up to North Georgia and Western North Carolina, exploring rural Middle and South Georgia, etc., etc. -- but my need is to act on them.

Re: What gear is on your short list?
I didn't want to answer this for a while but wanted to think about it. So my short list is really very short. 1.) 17-77mm I'm really hoping that Pentax comes out with a mark II version of the current DA lens, that has real weather sealing and a somewhat longer throw for better manual focusing, (since I still shoot with the *ist-Ds at times). The ongoing controversy over early SDM lenses has me a bit spooked as well. However it would enable me to stop carrying the 20-35mm and 28-200 as my two zoom kit, and start carrying the much superior F 70-210mm 2.) FA 77mm Ltd. It would relagate the M 85mm to backup, when I'm carrying my three lens prime kit. 3.) DA 10-17mm Fisheye, I really want a true fisheye lens for my digital bodies, that's actually relatively sharp. Other than that not much. Sure the K-5 would be nice, but unless I get a paying gig that requires something it does, it's not in the budget. Same goes for the fact that I'd like something in the ultra wide range, for use with my digital bodies, which none of my current lenses, even approaches. 645D? Don't be ridiculous. If I had expected Pentax to actually release it, I'd have stocked up on some 645 lenses when they were still available at bargain basement prices. Not to mention that to justify the actual cost of the camera body, I'd have to shoot a lot more 120 film and have a need for billboard sized prints. On 1/22/2011 7:33 PM, Larry Colen wrote: With the exception of Godfrey, who sounds like he has achieved gear nirvana and sounds like he has all the gear he needs for the photos he takes, I think that most of us often run up against the limitations of what our skill can do with the gear that we have. And if we're honest with ourselves, skill is usually the limiting factor, sometimes it's the gear, and sometimes a certain piece of kit can compensate for our own personal limitations. For example, last night I was pushing the envelope of what I could do with the K-x photographing backlit musicians in an otherwise nearly dark room. I was sorely missing the improved sensor, focus assist light, and focus indicators of the K-r. I expect that most of us have gear wishlists that would make Bill Gates credit cards cringe in terror, we also probably have short lists of gear that we are planning on buying in the near future. Generally gear that fills particular needs, and which would make a noticeable difference in photos that we regularly shoot, or which would allow us to get photos that we simply can't get with the gear we have. What items are on your short list, and why? At the top of my shortlist is the K-5. I often find myself in situations where even 2/3 stop of performance makes a big difference in the photos that I can take. Likewise, there are times when improved autofocus would also help. It would also be a lot more convenient for me to have all the features that I need for different scenarios, in the same camera, rather than being split between two cameras. My K-x could go back to wearing the DA40 and living in my fannypack as my pocket camera, and the K-5 could be my primary camera, and stay in my big bag, rather than aways carrying both in the big bag. I've found that when shooting action, where people are moving around, a zoom lens can make a huge difference. When I'm photographing aikido, I find that I need wider lenses when people are defending themselves against multiple attackers, and the action covers a large portion of the mat, and moves around a lot. But when only two people are practicing, and they aren't moving around a lot, my 50mm isn't quite long enough. I suspect that a 28-105/2.8 would pretty much cover what I need, but since I don't know of one of those the 28-75/2.8 is probably the closest to what I need. Alternatively, if I were shooting with two cameras, I could get the 50-135 on one body, and the 16-50 on another. I think that the 50-135 would do also do well with the band photography I've been doing, considering how often I'm using my 77 or 135 for closeups. The runner ups for my short list are: DA35 macro : I love my DA40 for its size and sharpness, but when I carry it as a walk around lens, especially on hikes in the woods, I often find myself wishing it were a bit wider, and focused a bit closer. Samyang 85/1.4 : I'm still hurting over the A* 85/1.4 that the guys wife sold at work while I was waiting for him to get home from running his errands. I keep needing that little bit extra shutter speed. I'd love a modern f/1.4 lens in the 75-90mm range, but I doubt that I'd be able to afford it before sensors got so fast that I no longer needed that speed. Sigma 30/1.4 : My FA31/1.8 may be a better lens, but again, I often find myself wishing I had that extra 2/3 of a stop of speed, so that I could bump my shutter speed up from 1/10 to 1/15 second. Something wider than 16mm. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est
