In the third image, I am thinking that including the tattoo on her left hand in its entirety would add the intrigue or conflict between her looks and whatever is engraved in her skin. Yet I think this is the strongest image of the series.

645D: flash and manual focus lenses
To those interested in technical stuff about 645D, I've looked at how flash metering is implemented in 645D. As most of you probably know, the K-mount cameras no longer support the old-style TTL flashes. The last camera to do so was the *istDS2. Now it's only P-TTL that works. And only with AF lenses. With manual focus lenses you have no TTL flash metering at all. I was worried that this might be the case for 645D too, but fortunately P-TTL works with the 645A-series lenses too. If you can live with inconsistencies in automatic white balance. A minor nit, in my opinion.

I should point out that I am not using a P-TTL flash (I just wrote a longish message to Collin on the matter). I have noticed that sometimes the white balance of my flash shots is somewhat imprecise (which is a gentler term than incorrect). But then almost always it is fairly easy to correct in post. My immediate reaction to the diagram in your blog entry, Jostein, was a sense of deja vu from the minor adjustments that I have to do in my workflow. I don't have readily made measurements or tests, but I tend to think that these variations may be related to one another and actually be related to some basic tech that Pentax is using in their PRIME (II) engine. After all, 645D and K-7(K-5) seem to have similar if not equal (up to state of tune) image processors.

Re: Really Red
Two things: 1. This was taken with a Pentax lens on an Olympus E-PL1. Penatx bodies typically do less sharpening. 2. It looks better, but what is AB? On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 12:18 AM, Joseph McAllister pentax...@mac.com wrote: Doing an AB on the untouched vs the image originally presented makes 90% of the edge line go away. But it is still there. Might just be the best the Pentax in camera firmware with a sharp transition from red to green. Can you view it full sized and untouched and see what's happening at the pixel level? I zoomed in as far as I could on the petal untouched, and actually see a ringing on the edge, as in an audio ringing but as an image. Very interesting. I'm sending a copy to Steve.

Re: Tilt-shift lenses or adaptors
Lensbabies are selective focus and not tilt/shift. My solution for tilt/shift photography are: solution 1 - freelensing: if you don't mind being a bit on the wild side. My best freelensing lens is a Tamron Adaptall-2 f2.5 24mm without any adaptor, so I can put the lens a bit closer to the 'film' pane allowing me to focus to infinity. I recommend the use of a tripod with this setting as the last thing you want is to hold the lens in one hand, the camera in the other and somehow try to fire the shutter. LOL A sample for my free-lensing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/4421716087/ (it was made with Nikon D70s... please excuse my blasphemy! :D) solution 2 - Hartblei Tilt (or shift) adapter for Pentacon 6 lenses this setup is the easiest to use. You take an old PSix lens, like the Carl Zeiss Flektogon f4 50mm and attach to your camera with a Tilt adaptor. Since the PSix lenses are designed to make pictures on a 6x6 cm 'sensor' if you use them on an APSC (or even a 35mm film) then only the middle of the 'image-circle' will be used, which is the best quality for all lenses. Also the advantage is you don't really need to shift these lenses to compensate the 'slide' of the 'image-circle' as you have a loads of areas to work with. The limitation of this system is the wide angle. As 50mm on 6x6 is already wide angle (35mm is fisheye :D) you can't really find lenses wider than 50mm (you can find some 35-40mm ones... for a bit too high price). But in the other hand you can get some seriously good lenses :D for a bargain with good picture quality, my favourite is being the Carl Zeiss Sonnar 180mm f2.8 which is IMHO the best portrait lens ever made if you like to draganize your pictures as it's disturbingly sharp at f2.8 :D (I just love this lens... sorry!) And also a one hour photoshoot with this lens and you don't need to go to gym for a while :D A sample with the 80mm f2.8 Biometar: http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/2953220154/ So my advise: Go for the Hartblei adaptor with a cheap Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm f2.8 (it's smaller and cheaper, easier to use in the beginning) or a Carl Zeiss Flektogon 50mm f4. You will get an easy to use tilt lens without the need of shifting the lens. Also the Biometar is good to use for portraits. Also get a Tamron Adaptall-2 f2.5 24mm (I have the 01BB version) and try freelensing. If you are interested in macro then get a 55mm reverse adapter as well as this lens is one of my main extreme-macro lens as well. A recent sample for it's macro capabilities. The image is not a crop, actually I had to extend it a bit (about 10-15% on the left and bottom) for better composition. Keep in mind that the spider is about 2-3mm in total. http://www.flickr.com/photos/timbah/5609939029/ Some Ebay links for you: The PSix - PK tilt adaptor: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hartblei-Tilt-Adapter-Pentacon-Six-Lens-Pentax-/170548600701?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item27b57d1f7d#ht_722wt_1141 The Flektogon 50mm f4: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zeiss-FLEKTOGON-50mm-F4-Pentacon-Six-Canon-EOS-Nikon-/150589386498?pt=UK_Photography_VintagePhotography_VintagePhotoAccessorieshash=item230fd3af02#ht_6048wt_1141 The Biometar 80mm f2.8: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CARL-ZEISS-Jena-BIOMETAR-MC-80mm-f-2-8-80-/370490133352?pt=Camera_Lenseshash=item5642eecb68 as this one was the 'kit-lens' for the PSix camera I recommend looking for one with the camera as well... usually you can get it for cheap and hey, you get a MF camera as well!

Re: Tilt-shift lenses or adaptors
The Zörkendörfer MFS (Multi Focus System) might do the trick for you - it is basically a tilt convertor for enlarger lenses (other lenses can also be adapted but the default is M39 screwmount). They show up on eBay from time to time. Expect to pay 150-250 w/o a lens. Zörk also builds a shift adaptor to go with it. Problem with all aftermarket t/s conversions is that you can't really shoot wide angles. HTH Ecke BTW you can borrow my Novoflex t/s bellows if you can afford to replace/repair it should it come to that. 2011/4/5 Thibouille pentaxl...@gmail.com: I'm looking into getting a T/S lens.

Re: What was your first camera?
The first camera that my parents bought 'for me' was a Werlisa. Infinity focus and three positions: sunny, cloudy, flash. (I founs some pictures here: http://www.ojodigital.com/foro/fotografia-quimica/265873-articulo-camara-werlisa-led.html) The first camera bought by me, back in 1997, was a Cosina E1 solar, an all-manual SLR with the meter powered by solar energy (like some calculators) whose K mount led me to Pentax.

Re: What was your first camera?
My first camera was a small square box camera that took 610 film. It had three f stops and a fixed focus and shutter speed. I don't remember the brand, but I know that I bought it for $2 at Erler's Camera Store on 83rd Street and Stony Island Ave. in Chicago in 1958. I was ten years old. In April of that year, i took a picture of my sister, Sylvia, twirling in front of our house at 8222 Dorchester. I think the film was Verichrome Pan. Cash Erler, who owned the store, developed the film and made me some 4 x 4 prints. I still have some of them, including the picture of my sister.

Re: What was your first camera?
First camera (and the only one my parents purchased): A Brownie 127. That was when I was around 7. Five years later I accquired a 35mm from a schoolmate (which probably involved some parental funding). This was a cheap-and-cheerful Hanimex-branded rangefinder, but it was a reasonable camera; max aperture f/2.8, four shutter speeds, and a built-in (but not coupled) meter. I believe the model was a Duomatic, but I'm not 100% certain. That (an an Olympus Pen half-frame) saw me through college. Then (with my first pay check from my first full-time job) I moved up to a Spotmatic II with the magnificent f/1.4 lens. Of course as soon as I had done this the Spotmatic-F came along (with full-aperture metering), and the seeds of enablement were sown. I resisted for a while, but in 1976 I succumbed to the temptation of an MX. I've still got that camera; the last roll of film I shot went through it (Royal Gold 25, in Yosemite). -- 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: Tilt-shift lenses or adaptors
Thank you all. Definitely interesting ideas :) I'd prefer not to use a bellow, for convenience reasons and avoid the freelensing (though it should be fun, I have the Tamron but in 28/2.5 version). I even contemplate the possibility of using other brands cameras just for that purpose. I guess using a vue camera in studio is influencing my wishes for my photography. Canon TSE lenses are insanely priced. Isn't there any other TS lenses for cheap? Too bad... I'd even use a CaNikon if needs to (ouch). 2011/4/12 eckinator eckina...@gmail.com: The Zörkendörfer MFS (Multi Focus System) might do the trick for you - it is basically a tilt convertor for enlarger lenses (other lenses can also be adapted but the default is M39 screwmount). They show up on eBay from time to time. Expect to pay 150-250 w/o a lens. Zörk also builds a shift adaptor to go with it. Problem with all aftermarket t/s conversions is that you can't really shoot wide angles. HTH Ecke BTW you can borrow my Novoflex t/s bellows if you can afford to replace/repair it should it come to that. 2011/4/5 Thibouille pentaxl...@gmail.com: I'm looking into getting a T/S lens. I don't care much if not Pentax or if I need an adaptor. However I care about price. Those things are usually very pricey. I might even accept a Canon lens, if it is what I need to get Tilt/shift. I know Pentax only did a Shift but no tilt.

Re: Gmail quoting (was: Re: PDML Book is live online and available for purchase)
My mail is Netscape 7.0 Communicator... I have a pop server on road runner... but I seldom if ever go on line to use it.. I just download everything to my computer and don't leave it on line... everything comes in as plain text except some HTML is treated as an attachment. Not only doesn't it strip out everyting below someones signature line but I sometimes do that manually myself... I don't think it is stripping out anything below a sig line in the mail I'm getting from others... I have one good friend who uses gmail and am always annoyed taht when I get mail from her in response to something I wrote all I get is her response - which is very problimatical and I have to go back to my original mail and copy and paste it in to read it while I'm writing - having totally forgotten what I said. example - I write - I'll meet you at the corner of 5th and 34th at noon on saturday and the reply (that comes in hours later) says -- ok and nothing else. :-( ann Matthew Hunt wrote: On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 12:29 PM, Ann Sanfedele ann...@nyc.rr.com wrote: me too - but -- I wouldn't have replied just for a me too except... NOTE : all I did was hit reply -- Dan had replied including something of another poster's (Matthew Hunt's) comment.. but you will see that all that is below is Dan's comment, not Matthew's or any links. what is going on with that? It can't be my settings, because if it were it would happen all the time, right? I think it might have something to do with G-mail anyone??? I'm not sure what's causing that problem, because it doesn't happen for me. If I reply to Dan's email in Gmail's web interface, it quotes everything in his message, including the earlier quoted material from me. I couldn't find anything obvious in Gmail's settings that might be causing the problem. Are you using the Gmail web interface, or a mail application? One possibility: The material Dan quoted appears below his signature. Some mail applications suppress quoting signatures (presumably everything after the --). -- 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: PDML Book is live online and available for purchase
thanks! It will be quite a while before I could get the book itself... I hope one of my friends buy it so I can see it. but I can do the $6.00 for the ebook.. ann Mark Roberts wrote: On Tue, 12 Apr 2011 11:31:56 -0400, you wrote: 3 questions -- for the e book, can I pay with paypal? Yes. In fact, that's the only way to pay at the moment. Is it PDF? No. It's an ebook, not a PDF. Can I have it on my Windoze machine that runs XP? Yes, you just need ebook reader software. Adobe has a free ebook reader app alled Digital Editions http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/ Where is the table of contents? Is it in the preview and it's just so little I cant see it? I didn't put the TOC in the preview because I wanted to emphasize the photos. I can add it when I get home this evening. -- 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.
