645D performance in -25 °C
On the last day at Svalbard I joined a snowmobile hike to the East coast of Spitsbergen, a 10 hour ride. I carried the 645D in a holsterbag (a LowePro Toploader) on my chest. The temperature in Longyearbyen when we started was -25 °C. I could swear it was colder on the glacier. In short, the camera performed flawlessly. Exposures turned out correct, the AF was snappy and accurate, processing and storing to memory card worked at normal speeds and without glitch. All buttons operated as they should. There were some gotchas, though, but hardly the camera's fault. 1. The LCD on top of the camera got vry sluggish. When changing shutter speed with the control wheel, for example, it took about five seconds to switch the displayed number. 2. All of the manual focus 645 lenses and many of the FA lenses are constructed in the same way as are the A-series for K-bayonet. That is, with a lot of metal. This means one has to be careful about handling the lenses with bare skin. Any amount of moisture will freeze on touch. 3. The glass on rear display also gets very cold. My nose stuck to it twice. The skin is still sore, two days later. 4. Battery performance goes down. Mine was fully charged in the morning. By lunch I had made about 100 exposures, and the indicator showed 67% charge. Some time in the afternoon I tried to do a series on passing snowmobiles. The indicator dropped to empty after five shots, but all images were stored correctly. I tried again with eight exposures twenty minutes later, and everything still got stored properly. The indicator would go back to 67% after a couple of minutes' rest in the holsterbag. Oh, and _don't_ breathe out with the camera before your face! :-) -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.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: Sigma APO 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM PDQ XYZ ETC
About the number 10/ you listed. The reason is simple. AFAIK Sigme does not have any TC with SDM/Powerzoom power contacts. Stupid, heh ? Thanks for the report, Stan. 2011/3/25 Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info: I was recently asking about this lens. Hearing no major horror stories about this or similar lenses, and having some of my concerns about compatibility put to rest by the Sigma technical folks (kudos to them for a quick, concise, and on-target email response to my query), I bought one from Adorama. The price was a couple hundred dollars higher than I had remembered from a few weeks ago when I started looking. I don't know if that is poor memory or a supply-demand adjustment. First impressions and observations: 1. Not as heavy as I feared. On the other hand, 2. It is clear that plastic is well represented in the overall makeup of the lens. Seems to be good quality plastic, but still. 3. The in-lens AF system operates on HSM which is compatible with my K20 HSM. Knowing nothing about the underlying technology, I consider this to be a minor miracle. Multiple manufacturers are using the same technology in a way that allows them to be cross compatible! Wow! 4. The AF allows manual override if the body's AF is on AF-S. 5. The AF is more of an AF-assisted MF. I.e., you could probably brew an espresso in the time it takes to find focus if you start with the lens on close-up and ask it to focus on something close to infinity. It reminds me of using the Pentax F-1.7x extender with a manual lens, a similar need to pre-focus the lens. 6. However, if you have the lens zone-focused in the general neighborhood of your subject, the AF seems quick and precise with no unseemly dithering. 7. The lens has an Optical Stabilization (OS) system. a. they say you can use the OS, or the camera's SR, but not both at the same time. b. the OS seems to work. I haven't really given it a workout yet. c. it is nice to have an in-lens OS on a long lens; I have trouble hand holding anything longer than a 250 or 300 because I can't get a good sense of focus with the image in the viewfinder moving around so much. 8. The OS has 3 modes: Off (recommended to avoid execess power consumption), 1, and 2. The instructions are not clear on the difference between 1 and 2, but I think 2 is for shooting race cars or speed skaters or other targets moving horizontally while 1 is for general scenes where either nothing is moving (other than the camera in the hands of the unsteady photographer who had too much coffee) or the subject(s) exhibit random unpredictable movement around the scene like in a hockey game or a kids soccer game. 9. The lens is not weather proof. 10. The Sigma web site, the Adorama and BH descriptions of the lens, and the generic instruction sheet that comes with the lens all mention the Sigma 1.4x and 2.0x extenders which will work with this lens (though in manual focus mode only.) However, we are special! Pentax users get an extra footnote: the Pentax-mount Sigma tele-extenders are NOT compatible with this lens. I've seen no explanation on what the incompatibility is. 11. One other thing I almost forgot! The lens comes with a soft case which has a shoulder strap; I have never understood why people would make cases that are only good for storing lenses and don't have provision for carrying them in the case. But Sigma goes a step further: they also have a shoulder strap that attaches directly to the lens (on the tripod mount)! I don't know that I would use it, but thanks Sigma for thinking of this. General comment - the lens is not magical. It does sometimes miss focus. My handheld shots at 500mm show some signs of movement not overcome by the OS. But a few quick shots this afternoon were far better than what I have been able to do with similar subjects in similar lighting. It is a keeper until I can find a Pentax counterpart that performs at least as well.

Re: 645D performance in -25 °C
Pentax should have you test their stuff. -25 C is really impressive. I tried very hard not to laugh at your nose getting stuck to the LCD. I know it hurt, but it's the first time I've ever heard of that. On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 3:46 AM, AlunFoto alunf...@gmail.com wrote: On the last day at Svalbard I joined a snowmobile hike to the East coast of Spitsbergen, a 10 hour ride. I carried the 645D in a holsterbag (a LowePro Toploader) on my chest. The temperature in Longyearbyen when we started was -25 °C. I could swear it was colder on the glacier. In short, the camera performed flawlessly. Exposures turned out correct, the AF was snappy and accurate, processing and storing to memory card worked at normal speeds and without glitch. All buttons operated as they should. There were some gotchas, though, but hardly the camera's fault. 1. The LCD on top of the camera got vry sluggish. When changing shutter speed with the control wheel, for example, it took about five seconds to switch the displayed number. 2. All of the manual focus 645 lenses and many of the FA lenses are constructed in the same way as are the A-series for K-bayonet. That is, with a lot of metal. This means one has to be careful about handling the lenses with bare skin. Any amount of moisture will freeze on touch. 3. The glass on rear display also gets very cold. My nose stuck to it twice. The skin is still sore, two days later. 4. Battery performance goes down. Mine was fully charged in the morning. By lunch I had made about 100 exposures, and the indicator showed 67% charge. Some time in the afternoon I tried to do a series on passing snowmobiles. The indicator dropped to empty after five shots, but all images were stored correctly. I tried again with eight exposures twenty minutes later, and everything still got stored properly. The indicator would go back to 67% after a couple of minutes' rest in the holsterbag.

PESO Floating
[Warning: pixels contain 1% cat by weight] So this is where the contents of my 645D cookie-jar went to instead: a floor renovation. For four days starting last Thursday workmen were in ripping up all the old flooring (a mix of uncleanable broadloom and layers of worn out self-stick tiles) and plywood underlay right down to the subfloor, then installing floating cork flooring. This was happening to all the rooms on the 1st floor save for the living room, and that's where all our stuff was, behind painting plastic. We moved in there to eat and retreated upstairs all day where we cowered in fear while the house shook. :-) All done now, though I still have to reattach the oak baseboard trim and shift the furniture back where it belongs. Of course I documented the process. I won't bore you with all those shots, but I thought I'd present one shot in particular which pleases me no end ... I was getting this all lined up on the tripod, couple of test shots for exposure done, when a curious visitor came sauntering by.

lightroom and K-5 questions
The dynamic range of the K-5 is amazing, but making use of it is not trivial. Both yesterday and today, I got some photos of the river gorge, with some cloud action going on in the background. When I shot them, I bracketed, but rather than using photoshops HDR feature I fussed, fumbled and frobbed the controls in lightroom to try to keep detail in both the sky and the valley. I'm almost satisfied with the way that this one came out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5559355279/in/set-72157626352846496/ The challenge seems to come from there basically being a bi-modal distribution, where I've got a lot of pixels all of the way to the right of the histogram, and another bunch all of the way to the left. I almost need a tone curve that is very steep on the right 10% of the values, and then more or less linear to that point, or possibly also fairly steep on the left, flattish in the middle and steep on the right.

Re: lightroom and K-5 questions
If you are going to do HDR, Photoshop's implementation is decent. If you use Photomatix, it does the same thing, but renders differently. If you've ever seen an HDR with the crazy surface patterns, it's a good bet that it was done in Photomatix. It's a dark art to do it well. Whole books have been written on how to make HDRs. You'll really need to have a vision of what you are looking for, or all you'll be doing is moving sliders in software.

Both yesterday and today, I got some photos of the river gorge, with some cloud action going on in the background. When I shot them, I bracketed, but rather than using photoshops HDR feature I fussed, fumbled and frobbed the controls in lightroom to try to keep detail in both the sky and the valley. I'm almost satisfied with the way that this one came out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5559355279/in/set-72157626352846496/ The challenge seems to come from there basically being a bi-modal distribution, where I've got a lot of pixels all of the way to the right of the histogram, and another bunch all of the way to the left. I almost need a tone curve that is very steep on the right 10% of the values, and then more or less linear to that point, or possibly also fairly steep on the left, flattish in the middle and steep on the right.

Re: lightroom and K-5 questions
Well, it's a nice picture; you seem to have conquered the tonal-range issues with the tools available.

Re: GFM
I thought I was going to. But I've been logging a lot of miles back and forth between KC and Michigan. Our house in KC goes on the market next weekend, and after that my schedule is at the mercy of the buyer (assuming that there is at least one interested buyer out there.) So the combination of fatigue and schedule uncertainty may keep me home or otherwise occupied. If I do go I am going to try for a few days of pre and/or post GFM camping in National Forests in that region. stan On Mar 25, 2011, at 1:15 PM, Scott Loveless wrote: Anyone going this year? -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ __o _'\,_ (*)/ (*) -- 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. -- 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: lightroom and K-5 questions
Larry, I am just curious - when you metered the valley, were you metering the trees or the river? For me, the clouds and the river are the two dramatic elements, the trees are just there as filler/framing. I suspect that if you had a 1° spot-meter reading from the water, it would have given an EV even lower than you got from (apparently) the average of the valley. All of which is to say that your challenge in effectively dealing with the wide dynamic range may be even bigger than you presented it. stan On Mar 25, 2011, at 10:36 PM, Tim Bray wrote: Well, it's a nice picture; you seem to have conquered the tonal-range issues with the tools available.

Once I had my composition, I just hit the green button, and bracketed what it gave me. Basically, the K-5 is proving to be an amazing piece of gear. For reference, here is the frame, as it came out of the camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5559723749/ I suspect that for the absolute best results, I'll still need to use multiple exposures and HDR tools, but I'm very impressed by what I can get out of a single frame on this camera.
