They had every calibration tool, from the bottom to the top of the market, at their disposal and said that the Eye One Display was both the most consistent and the most reliable. I bought mine (the Eye One Display 2 model by that time) in late 2004 and have been completely satisfied with its performance despite all the system and technology changes it has been updated to manage over the past seven years. It's been replaced by the i1 Display Pro package, which is just about the same price I paid with much more functionality. I don't know how it compares in detail to the ColorMunki model, but I'll likely do the research soon and pick one or the other as my calibration utility since my Eye One Display 2 hardware is getting old and does not support the integration of ambient room lighting into the calibration and profiling. -- 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. -- 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.

Way OT - which 50/1.4 for N's?
Hi All, A question to the people who had experience with the Nikons. I need an urgent advice. I am buying a 50/1.4 lens for my brother who has a Nikon D90. I tried to read comparisons on the net of the G and D. (Looking for an AF one.) Most of the opinions are anecdotal and inconclusive. Also, I cannot find any good comparative test (for the sharpness), - e.g. something similar to what Popular Photography or Practical Photography used to do. Are there differences in handling? Is it correct that G has the gear for AF/MF similar to that of the newest DA/DFA lenses? Opinions based on the first-hand experience and/or links to tests/comparative reviews would be greatly appreciated.

My K-5 has developed a bad pixel - advice sought
Hi! Just arrived home from visiting a friend. I've been shooting in room light at ISO around 800-1600 for like 1/2 an hour and towards the end I noticed a burnt pixel on the review screen of the camera. Arrived home. Opened it in LightRoom. LightRoom is smart and it shows briefly then disappears - LR takes care of it. But in Pentax Camera Utility it is there. Here is a sample (400% magnification): http://liberman-family.com/boris/temp/k-5_bad_pixel.png What irks me is that: 1. it is the very fist time any of my Pentax cameras had such a thing 2. it does not look like just a hot pixel - it seems to be more like a blot or a blemish of some kind on the sensor. Now, obviously, given that it is K-5 we're talking about - can it be the infamous sensor stain problem, or just something that happens very often, just not happened to me before kind of thing. Any opinions (as long as they are not pun, thank you) will be welcome. Boris P.S. Upon arrival home I made few shots at ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 (including lens cap for darkness). Nothing shows... So it may have to do with the fact that I've been using camera at mid ISOs for some time... -- 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.

PESO(s) -- A bit of photographic noodling
Saw this globular lamp at dusk when it's inner glow was just barely overcame the light of slightly overcast sky, so I did a couple of studies. I kind of like it. Converted to BW mainly due to the mixed lighting with color balance all over the place. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20establishment.html I really needed a tripod to attempt this. Too much camera movement for the AS system to completely overcome, but maybe it conveys something. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20untitled.html Equipment: Pentax K20D w/vmc Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f2.8~4.0 (Ver. 3).

Re: Which Monitor Color Calibration device?
A couple of comments on the Huey Pro (since I have one): First, it does not measure luminance, and since the BIG difference between my on-screen displays and prints is luminance, I am also in the market for a new calibrator. Second, the Amazon review have something that is a red flag to me: a bimodal distribution of scores. When you look at hotel reviews, the 5-star ones are raves and the 1-star ones often say bedbugs! Guess which I pay more attention to? Third, to be fair, I have been satisfied with the performance of the Huey Pro, given its luminance limitations.

My Spyder 2 doesn't measure luminance either, but I haven't seen this as a problem. First, an illuminated display will never provide a perfect preview of the relative brightness of flat art. They're two different animals. So once I have my monitor's colors dialed in and matching those of the prints, I tweak the brightness until I get a print that I consider perfect. It's just one adjustment, so it's not a big deal to adjust it to a level that yields the correct print brightness.

The thum, as it's called is a peninsula in Lake Huron that looks like the thumb on the mitten that is Michigan. It's very rural and sparsely populated, but quite nice in a very rural way. Anyway, someone wants us to make an offer. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13939233size=lg -- 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.

I like the lamp. Cheers, Christine On Aug 5, 2011, at 1:57 PM, P. J.

Well that was most annoying.
It seems that the latest version of Avast will no longer support Win2K. Of course the way the publisher decided to let current users know was to cause all real time scanners to shut down after the latest program update. I've just spent the last few hours trying to track down the source of the error, (suspecting a really pernicious Malwear infection to start). I finally was able to find another Virus scanner that will offer at least some level of protection. Well Avast was free, and I guess you get what you pay for. However with that level of support I don't think I'll be paying for their paid product any time soon. -- Where's the Kaboom?
