Before you flame on me, no I am not. I will stay with my loved white Kr, and maybe a K5 update later... But how many times I heard this from friends... countless. Most of the time the reason is: Pentax is not good for studio photography. I was not aware of Benjikan (or Benjamin Kanarek) until recently a friend of mine directed me to his page. (FYI: http://www.benjaminkanarek.com/ ) So I now always ask my friends when they say Pentax is not good enough for studio: You think his photographs are not good enough? You already reached his level and you feel it's not enough for you? Obviously... the answer is no :D But to be honest I had some hesitations sometimes as well... I love Sony's new system, for not having a blacked VF during the photos and most importantly, videos. But is it really that important? Well... no. But which other company offers you the possibility to try the astrophotography for a low price of £200ish? Or has a grip so comfortable that you don't really want to use a battery grip to make the use of the camera comfortable? But on the other end there are limits for sure. Not having most of the 3rd party companies support for P-TTL (YangNuo, Phottix...) is one of the main concerns, but apart from that... I am still in love with Pentax :) So, yes... Sony A55 and Nikon D5100 are really tempting for me giving a bit more options, but I believe my little Pentax Kr is a very good partner for my photography needs. Why did I write this? Well... I just had to tell you this and we read so many rants then why not a praise? :) Regards, .t -- 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. -- 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: I am leaving Pentax because it limits me...
I didn't leave Pentax. I stopped using Pentax equipment. Big deal: I've owned and used equipment made by all the major vendors and most of the minor ones too over the past 40+ years. Equipment is transitory: the least important part of doing photography is what brand of equipment you use. If people feel they cannot do what they want with a particular brand of equipment, by all means they should try to use something else. If they then *still* can't do the photography they want to, I suggest that the problem isn't the equipment at all. I've been reasonbly successful doing the photography I wanted to do with all of the equipment I've owned. I change equipment mostly because I see advantage and comfort in trying some other gear, for some clear reason, usually because my photographic goals change and some other mix of gear seems to be more suited to a particular goal. Sometimes it works out that way, sometimes not. But I *always* get the work I need to do accomplished, whatever gear I happen to be using. ...Equipment often gets in the way of Photography. ... -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.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: Is Ricoh Going to Buy Pentax????????
Well, Godfrey has made us aware of Ricoh's innovative approach to mirrorless systems and Pentax has optical expertise. And, at least from my POV, Pentax has a bigger reputation. How big is Ricoh as a company? It will definitely focus Pentax on photography as long as the combination has enough business to keep going. I fully expect Godfrey to tape a little Pentax on that modular camera of his.

Before you flame on me, no I am not. I will stay with my loved white Kr, and maybe a K5 update later... But how many times I heard this from friends... countless. Most of the time the reason is: Pentax is not good for studio photography. I was not aware of Benjikan (or Benjamin Kanarek) until recently a friend of mine directed me to his page. (FYI: http://www.benjaminkanarek.com/ ) So I now always ask my friends when they say Pentax is not good enough for studio: You think his photographs are not good enough? You already reached his level and you feel it's not enough for you? Obviously... the answer is no :D But to be honest I had some hesitations sometimes as well... I love Sony's new system, for not having a blacked VF during the photos and most importantly, videos. But is it really that important? Well... no. But which other company offers you the possibility to try the astrophotography for a low price of £200ish? Or has a grip so comfortable that you don't really want to use a battery grip to make the use of the camera comfortable? But on the other end there are limits for sure. Not having most of the 3rd party companies support for P-TTL (YangNuo, Phottix...) is one of the main concerns, but apart from that... I am still in love with Pentax :) So, yes... Sony A55 and Nikon D5100 are really tempting for me giving a bit more options, but I believe my little Pentax Kr is a very good partner for my photography needs. Why did I write this? Well...

Re: Is Ricoh Going to Buy Pentax????????
Ricoh did get out of the SLR business during the AF era (to some extent, they actually continued to sell MF film SLR's until recently, but the body was a Cosina) although they did have a longtime presence in the high-end compact side of things with their GR compacts (which are simply awesome). But they're been increasingly involved in selling high-end compacts and mirrorless systems. Buying Pentax gives them back an SLR system in a mount they know intimately and gives them access to the manufacturing capacity and sales structure they've lacked outside asia. This isn't a repeat of Konica-Minolta. Ricoh's only buying the camera division where Konica wanted only the business imaging side of Minolta and also had been trying to get rid of their own Camera division for decades (despite it being both a major film producer and a producer of rather innovative cameras including the only truly modern M mount body in the Hexar RF). -Adam On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 2:45 AM, P.

That would be an annoyance. It would be a much bigger annoyance in these parts if it were bad news for Pentax owners, but I assume it will be good news for all concerned. I do hope that it is a plus for all concerned. :-) Ricoh's a pretty good sized company. They have a lot of camera and lens expertise, just not in the DSLR or Medium Format Digital space. My impression is that they've been doing pretty well and have not been at risk, but I haven't been looking at that. It's Pentax that's had the financial problems and has now been bought twice. So I think we have to consider this from the Ricoh perspective, since it is Ricoh buying the Pentax brand and technology from Hoya, not Pentax driving the deal. Pentax is essentially being split up, the camera portion of the company separated from the medical portion. I feel the mainstream SLR domain is coming to a close and the mirrorless digital camera on the rise. In the mirrorless domain, Ricoh has been very innovative with the GXR system. The Camera Module A12 with Leica M mount is just about ready to ship for the GXR system: it would be extremely easy to provide adaptation for K-mount (it already exists through third party adapters!) and not too much more daunting to build a dedicated K-mount version, with more features dedicated to the Pentax K mount lens specifics. And creating dedicated A12 camera modules with integrated lenses like the DA21, FA43, DA40, DA70 (all great, compact optics) would be another way to expand Ricoh's GXR system more swiftly than for them to develop the optics from scratch. It will be very interesting to see where this goes.

I've got my final print portfolio for school due in two weeks. Working on one of the images to make everything *PERFECT* before I send it off to the lab for printing, I kept getting these strange errors in Photoshop No more virtual tiles can be allocated. Took a while to figure out my hard-disk was FULL! I ended up moving my image files from 2010 2011 except for the small number of files I need for school off onto the NAS as a temporary solution. But it took 4 hours to copy them over. I just gave up and went to bed. And now the disk cleanup is going to take another hour (according to Windoze estimate). It's been running for half an hour already. Reading PDML while I wait for the computer to finish fooling around. I sure would like to get back to work. I've got a bit to get done yet before I can go out looking for more portfolio quality images this 4th of July weekend. - No virus found in this message.

RE: Colorized historical photographs.
From: P. J. Alling Computers can do some wonderful things, maybe this is even one of them... http://www.howtobearetronaut.com/2011/06/colourized-america-1862-1923/ Sometimes BW is an artistic or editorial choice, so IMNSHO colorizing something like Casablanca is heresy, but for most of the history of photography there was no choice, so I'm kind of OK with this. Some of these the colors are a bit vivid. I think slightly more subdued colors similar to the old tinting oils would work better. It doesn't bother me all that much. But, the originals are still preserved intact, so I don't see it as much different than hand coloring BW prints with oils. I have watched the colorized version of the Maltese Falcon. It looked like BW film had been hand tinted frame by frame, and that the colors had faded after a while. Wasn't overblown or garish like some of these are. It didn't detract from the film, nor keep me from enjoying the film again in BW. - No virus found in this message.

Re: Is Ricoh Going to Buy Pentax????????
From: John Celio Can anyone tell for certain if Hoya is keeping Pentax's medical division for themselves? I'm pretty sure that's a big source of Pentax's revenue, and it would really suck if they lost it. John Hoya is almost certainly keeping the medical division. They originally bought Pentax to get the medical division. If you go back to the period before the Hoya-Pentax deal was finalized, you'll find one of the fears of Pentax users had back then was that Hoya would keep Pentax for a couple of years and then dispose of the camera company. And that the Pentax camera division would be weaker because of the loss of revenue from the medical division. Maybe the 645D will put the camera division in better position than was feared ... or maybe not. Deja Vu all over again. - No virus found in this message.

The light is, I think, on the harsh side. It shows in the shadows of the hair, blown cheek, hard shadow on her leg and wrist, etc. This may be what you were going for, in case we merely disagree on how to light this sort of thing. What I like to do is use a really big softbox for the main, my favourite is a 60 round one, and then position a harder light right in front of it so it is on, or at least near, the same axis as the big light. Adjusting the balance between the two gives really nice shadow control. You blew the background out really nicely, it looks like she is on a rear lit Plexiglas sweep., which are a lot of fun to light with gels. -- William Robb -- 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.

Hmm. So I guess that, in light of the purchase of Pentax by Ricoh, this thread about the Ricoh GXR's Leica M-mount module (I believe it is officially called the Camera Mount A12 or something like that) was not so off-topic after all. Even without a dedicated Pentax camera module, with the M-mount module on the GXR you'll be able to use Pentax lenses on the GXR easily - Pentax M42 and K mount to Leica M adapters already exist. ]:-) -- Godfrey I wanna be the first Ricohvian! -- 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.

By the time it wears out there will be plenty of mirrorless systems with better performance, and adapters, possibly even ones with screwdrive autofocus, so that I can continue to use my lenses. There are some distinct physical advantages to a mirrorless system, primarily the shorter registration distance allowing sharper, fast wide glass. I am annoyed that I don't have an f/1.4 standard. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years I'll have several mirrorless systems in a variety of sensor sizes depending upon how much depth of field I want for a particular field of view. When I want a lot of DoF, I'll use the 4/3 sensor, when I want shallow, I'll use the 24x36. In the meantime, at least Ricoh has some history with K-mount lenses.

While I've owned and used successfully a lot of other SLR system cameras, if I felt I needed to move to another SLR system again it would be to Nikon and the D700 body at present. I know their lenses are up to the task. But lately I'm thinking mobility more and more, and wanting smaller, less intrusive cameras and lens kits. That's what got me going for the Ricoh GXR. Once the M-lens module ships, I'll likely be working with two or three M-bayonet lenses most of the time and will be in the market for a Leica M again at some point down the line. I'm not ready to dispense with SLRs entirely yet, but I see the time is coming as the mirrorless world ramps up in responsiveness. The quality is already there. And, like Cotty and others, I can't see any TTL system being the same thing as a coupled optical rangefinder system: they are just different beasts. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.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.
