Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.




I like that a lot - has a nice 'gritty' feel.  The bike balances the  
scene nicely - was that serendipitous or did you plan it that way?

K-01 shutter sound? (was Re: FYI - Fiscal Cliff for K-01 prices)

[Derby Chang]

My interest is rising.

Does anyone have a K-01 and a K-5 and can compare the shutter sound? Is 
the K-01 quiet?

WTB or trade

[Boris Liberman]

Hi!

I'm looking for Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (not the modern OS HSM version, but 
the older one). I'm willing either to buy it or to trade it for my DA* 
16-50/2.8. In the case of trade some money would have to come along with 
the Sigma lens.


Thanks.

Boris

Re: The moth - I desperately want to kick somebody in the nuts

[Miserere]

Yeah, someone *should* care...but I don't expect anybody does.

You could always put the lens on eBay with full disclosure at, say,
65% of expected price for a mothless one, and see if anyone bites.
You'd be surprised.

Never used the Sigma 20mm. Did own the 24mm version for a while, which
I used for concert shooting. I sold it to Igor on this list, who I
believe used it for baby shooting  :-)

Looking forward to your comparison pics. I think you should call your
e-mails on this subject "The Mothlens Prophecies".

FS Thursday

[David Mann]

Sorry I'm a bit early for Friday but I've been procrastinating for a few weeks 
and I need to free up some cash to help my budget for a race I'm doing in 
January.  I've been spending way too much on equipment and my poor old piggy 
bank has gone to the abattoir.

I've put the list of gear on a set of web pages with photos.  It's breaking my 
heart to sell this stuff but I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it 
and I know it'll go to good homes here.

http://www.multi.net.nz/lens-sale/
(Despite the URL it's not all lenses)

I'm not very sure of my prices as some of this stuff doesn't come up for sale 
often; if you think I'm way out then make me an offer, but higher offers will 
likely get priority.

I take Paypal.

I will send by International Economy Courier which is tracked, but I don't put 
much faith in the tracking as the last parcel I sent was only tracked as far as 
US Customs.  The freight prices quoted won't cover the full cost but I don't 
want to scare you away :)

In addition to that list I have two more Pentax 35mm lenses which I'm going to 
have professionally cleaned before offering.  If you're interested in them let 
me know:
SMCP 135mm f/2.5
FA*400mm f/5.6

I also have a kit of Pentax 6x7 stuff so let me know if you're looking for 
anything.  I haven't listed it yet because I'm considering selling it locally 
as some items would be expensive to freight overseas.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: PESO Old Crow and Pepsi

Great shot, Larry!

We actually used to keep a bottle of Old Crow around the club, but it 
was confiscated in the last raid. Had one member who stopped in every 
few months and he'd drink it with water.


So, I've never had anyone order Old Crow & Pepsi, but I do have a 
customer who drinks Jameson and Mountain Dew.


You read that correctly.

K20D, f/6.7, 1/640 sec, ISO 500

Had to bump up the contrast just a smidge, but all in all, not too 
shabby. I'd say it's worth the $50 I spent on the entire lot of lenses.

Some periods are more important than others though.

Thanks.  The email I sent didn't show up, just the reply.

I sent a note to the friend that administers my mail server, maybe he tweaked

Thanks.  Her mom was saying that she could never get Kay Kay to look at the

Re: PESO - In the Dungeon

[knarftheria...@gmail.com]

The reason I shot downward is that I quite consciously wanted to get her phone, 
pen and gloves in the photo along with the newspaper. 

Other than the fact that she's a very attractive young lady, this was a bike 
messenger shot. 

She's standing by, reading the paper to kill time. We no longer use two-way 
radios (the Motorola "bricks" were ubiquitous) and pagers; everything is 
dispatched through smartphones these days. Pens and ( in this cooler weather) 
gloves are part of our equipment. Mailrooms are where we hang out when it gets 
cold (see the mail bins in the background?). 

A slice of messenger life...

Oh yeah. The other reason I took the photo from that angle: I was standing and 
she was sitting.

;-)

Thanks for the comment! And thanks to all who looked!

Cheers,
frank

Re: Mini-GESO: Front Porch Photography - 11/13/12 (3 photos)

Thank  you, Bruce!

That's a particularly curious horse. Most times, when I head over to 
that field, he immediately comes toward me and inevitably walks into my 
frame when I'm trying to shoot the other horses who don't give a damn. I 
bet I have 20 shots of several other horses standing in that field with 
this horse's ear encroaching into the frame. And when I try to walk away 
to compose another shot, it follows me.


I'm pretty sure the horse's name is Buzzkill.

Re: How to clean hot-shoe flash contacts?

[Bruce Walker]

Radio Shack pulled out of Canada and the stores got sold to a group
called The Source. They don't carry as much DIY/repair stuff anymore
and only have one rebranded generic cleaner product.

I got my Caig supply at a musical equipment chain here, Long and
McQuade. I originally bought it to service my Mackie audio mixer.

Re: FYI - Fiscal Cliff for K-01 prices

[John Sessoms]

Costco offers a K-30 "bundle" with a "BONUS" WG-1 Waterproof Camera.

Also an Optio WG-2 bundle.

Both on-line, haven't seen it in the local store.

From: Igor Roshchin

Oops.. Sorry, - it looks like it's an old news...
.. and a bunch of stores have had it at about those prices for
about 2 weeks (including Amazon, Walmart [black body only],
Pentaxwebstore.com, and even Bestbuy).

BTW, for those who are concerned about brick-and-mortar stores selling
Pentax equipment, - Bestbuy came close: it's a brick-and-mortar store
that sells Pentax equipment online (only).
But it's probably a good sign anyway...

Igor

From: Igor Roshchin


Prices for K-01 are slashed at B&H and Adorama:
camera only, - $347, with 40mm lens - $447.

That must be what everybody is calling a "fiscal cliff"!

Cheers,

Igor

Sure thing. What would be the best test cases for a clean lens against one that 
has stuff in it? Scratching my head here. Flare resistance and contrast come to 
mind.

Re: GESO: Partial Eclipse

[John Sessoms]

In case anyone wants to start planning ahead, the Great American Solar 
Eclipse is due 21 Aug 2017. The path of totality will begin somewhere in 
the Pacific Ocean west of Portland Oregon and sweep across the U.S. 
ending somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, south-east of Charleston, SC.


http://weareallinthegutter.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/whole-us.jpg


From: Bob Sullivan

Dave, Your photos of the eclipse reminded me of one I saw as a child
of 8 or 10. The crescent shaped highlights of light thru the trees
was the same here. Regards,  Bob S.

Nice work Dave, it was very overcast in Sydney so we missed the

They're doing alright considering they were given to me for Xmas
when I was 9.  Plus the paper was flat against the ground so it
wasn't even in the right plane...

I'm wondering if Alastair or Tanya got anything.  I wasn't really
taking the photos seriously but was enjoying the general spectacle
instead.

Some of the photos featured on the news sites were of a huge
blown-out area around the sun, with a pretty bit of eclipse-shaped
flare.  Interesting effect but it might be hard to do well with a
Pentax lens.

Cheers, Dave

The light seemed a little warmer than usual this afternoon, so I grabbed 
the K20D with the FA 50/1.4 and headed out across the highway to see 
what the horses were up to. Here are the three shots I came back with.

It really is a wonderful little lens.

I apologize for it being a little early ...

Son has a Pentax-A 50/1.4 in ex. cond.  $150 shipped (US).
I'm looking @ selling my FA50/1.4 (ex) and putting the funds to a 77mm.
Anyone interested at $300 shipped?
Lots more bodies and lenses on Friday.  All relatively cheap.

Re: How to clean hot-shoe flash contacts?

[Joseph McAllister]

I've been using Craig Laboratory cleaners for 30 years. Every connector I mate 
is first cleaned with their RED contact cleaner formula, then lubed with their 
Blue contact preservative formula (or vice versa). Came with coarse plastic 
applicators for doing grody RCA connectors. Also used it on ANY (plain or gold) 
connectors in or on my cameras, computers, and automobiles. Except for 
forgotten batteries in various household and medical appliances, I never have 
any connectivity problems.

Betcha Radio Shack still carries it. But no more than 10 cent bets, please.
