Re: Fuji X Pro 1 (X100 + interchangeable lenses)
I think those photos may be misleading. I bet the k5 is much deeper fore-to-aft than the Fuji. I'm guessing that the grip and the pentaprism bump make the real-world size of the dslr considerably larger. The main misgiving I have with the Fuji is the slow autofocus. Apparently it's better than the x100 but nowhere near dslr capability. Fuji acknowledges that but says fast focusing "is not what that camera is about". Perhaps not, but that might affect its ability to be a good street shooter. Apparently the manual focus is just as frustrating (at least on the x100; don't know about the x1 pro yet). cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: li...@thrane.name Sent: January 12, 2012 I agree.

Re: Fuji X Pro 1 (X100 + interchangeable lenses)
If you look at the K5/X Pro 1 size comparison from the non-grip side, the body has a similar thickness. The grip and prism bump make up the size difference and probably part of the weight. It's pretty clear that Fuji is going after the M9 in that they want those who can't afford to the M9 to think of this as a good alternative. I think you've zoned in on the biggest problem, however, Frank, which is the slower AF. I've had some luck with the X-10 on moving targets (people) but my personal skill for street work is not sufficient to make a real evaluation.

Re: PESO: October Snow
I like this. Normally these falling snow shots have a largely dead background. The snow rendered here in a pleasing fashion against a deeply colored background.

Re: PESO: October Snow
Thank you, Steven, for your comments. You are right. What motivated me here was the fact that this snow fall was so early that the dogwoods were full of bright red leaves, and some of the other trees were still pretty green. That made is unusual, and worthy of recording in my view, and more colorful than image I had earlier taken in the dead of winter. I think the colors helped to get this photo into the PPG.

You're confusing "Four Thirds" with "Micro Four Thirds". The 4/3 register distance is about the same as that of the K-mount (slightly shorter, but in the same ballpark). Micro 4/3 is a much more compact system. You can get adapters to allow 4/3 (or K-mount) lenses on Micro 4/3 systems. I have the K-mount one; it's about an inch deep (with no optical elements). -- 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: OT Magnetic strip sand scanning
Social INsurance card. I don't know what the American equivalent would be but every working Canadian needs one. It's for tax purposes, receiving federal government benefits, pretty much all dealings with the federal government. The physical card doesn't mean that much; it's not that it's a required ID card or anything. I got one when I got my first part time job some 40 years ago. I lost it about 35 years ago and never got it replaced. It's the number that's important. Mine's memorized; I just spout it when I deal with the feds in person or on the phone and it's all good.

Re: Fuji X Pro 1 (X100 + interchangeable lenses)
Bob W. has an x100. Any comments on its autofocus (or manual focus, for that matter)? cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Steven Desjardins Sent: January 12, 2012 1/12/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" Subject: Re: Fuji X Pro 1 (X100 + interchangeable lenses) If you look at the K5/X Pro 1 size comparison from the non-grip side, the body has a similar thickness. The grip and prism bump make up the size difference and probably part of the weight. It's pretty clear that Fuji is going after the M9 in that they want those who can't afford to the M9 to think of this as a good alternative. I think you've zoned in on the biggest problem, however, Frank, which is the slower AF. I've had some luck with the X-10 on moving targets (people) but my personal skill for street work is not sufficient to make a real evaluation.
