 If the manual focus lenses are A series, you'll have all the autoexposure
 options that the K10 offers. With M and K series lenses, you'll have to use
 a workaround for exposure. Basically, you set a stop on the aperture ring,
 and press the green button. That causes the camera to set an exposure. Other
 than that, manual lenses work fine.

Re: OT: was Capture Camera Clip now my injured son

2011-08-05 Thread John Sessoms

Good to hear that he's pulling through ok.

From: Charles Robinson

He's been out of the O/R for about 18 hours now.

C5 vertebra was removed and replaced with a titanium cage.

Front of C4-C6 were fused, then they flipped him over and fused C3-C6
as well.

Today he's up and about.  Sitting, walking, eating normal food.  He's
off the I/V fluids and just taking some wonderfully powerful
painkillers for a while.

That's a hell of a bullet he dodged.  By all rights he should be a
quadriplegic and perhaps on a ventilator - if not dead.

 What model(s) of color-calibration devices (colorimeters) for computer

 I've been using an X-Rite eye1 for several years, quite happily.
 When I was running photolabs, X-Rite was the densitometer of choice (I
 still have one of their lab units around somewhere, so I went with a
 brand I knew as one who knows colour.
 I expect they are all good.
 
 X-Rite also makes the ColorMunki, which appears to be the preferred system
 in the Windoze world.
 
 The Eye One Display calibration and profiling package (then sold by
 Gretag-Macbeth, now Xrite) was recommended to me independently by
 colleagues on both the Displays and ColorSync engineering teams at
 Apple when I asked them. 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 It's been replaced by the i1 Display Pro package, which is just about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.

Way OT - which 50/1.4 for N's?

2011-08-05 Thread Igor Roshchin


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. 

Igor

My K-5 has developed a bad pixel - advice sought

2011-08-05 Thread Boris Liberman

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...

It's a hot pixel.
Run the pixel mapping utility on the camera and see if you can make it 
go away.

If this is the first stuck pixel you've had, you have been very lucky.

PESO(s) -- A bit of photographic noodling

2011-08-05 Thread P. J. Alling
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).

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Drove up into Michigan's thumb this morning to shoot a car  but had to stop for 
this one. 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.

Re: Which Monitor Color Calibration device?

2011-08-05 Thread Rick Womer
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.  An iMac, MacBook Pro, and two 24in Dell 
monitors calibrated with it look exactly the same--not a mean feat!

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.

Re: A Digital First

2011-08-05 Thread Mark C
I sometimes feel like I am just my own army of monkeys, randomly 
pressing the shutter button, getting a lot of gibberish, but every now 
and then a nice photo emerges and I pull that one off the pile of debris 
and proudly acclaim I did this!


I'll take the random hits as they come - to me the test is whether I 
intended to take the shot or not. If I didn't intend to and just 
stumbled into something - OK, could I do it again?


I'll take credit for anything I manage to pull off, but in my own mind, 
I do keep score...

I came close shooting the Local Fringe fest yesterday but tonight I shot

why the shutter would not trip. I then noticed the 0 images remaining
on the top lcd.

I am not sure that overcoming the film shooters restraint is a good
thing but milestones are intresting.

Well that was most annoying.

2011-08-05 Thread P. J. Alling
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.

based on ClamAV the FOSS scanner for linux it may be useful.
