Re: Questions for the Cognes-Q-enti
Quoting Mark Cassino pdml-m...@charter.net: Congrats on getting the Q - it is a ton of fun and kicks out pretty decent images as well. I bought a used Q Kit that had the standard prime, standard zoom, fisheye and toy telephoto. I added a K to Q converter right off the bat. The 5-15mm zoom has been my most used lens with the standard prime close behind. Both of those lenses just feel great and perform very well. For the type of shooting that I use the Q for the standard zoom is perfect. I was captivated by the fisheye but had iffy results manually focusing with it. When focused propertly (and I kept my fingers out of the field of view) it was great. I installed the new firmware a few weeks ago and focus peaking is a huge boon to me wrt to using this lens. I expect I'll use it a lot in the future and my problems focusing it will be greatly diminished. The lens that has seen virtually no use is the toy telephoto. I've tried it a few times and it works well. IMO it really should not be called a toy lens as that invokes lomography / holga etc (at least to me) and it is a straightforward good performing lens. It just lacks aperture control and autofocus and is not as nicely constructed as the standard lenses. The K to Q adapter is an excellent tool. I've been playing around with an M 50 f1.7 as my working telephoto, and with the updated firmware and image stabilization and focus peaking it works fine. The M 50 / adapter / Q is not at all awkward to me. I did several test shots with the Q and A* 200 f4 macro, D-FA 100mm and other K mount lenses. It worked well and is not terribly difficult to use. For macro the Q's DOF is great. My tests are here: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/testing-the-pentax-q-and-k-mount-lenses I am eagerly awaiting using K mount macro prime with focus peaking - just haven't gotten out to do any work with it. I'll be adding the telephoto zoom to my kit soon as well, since with the normal zoom it would be a great travel kit. I will also probably opt for the Pentax K to Q adapter with built in leaf shutter to be able to better use flash. Have fun! I'll try! Thanks for that. I'd seen your article on 'Testing the Pentax Q' previously - it was one of the reasons I bit when the $200 bait was dangled. I've ordered the Konica-Q adapter to play with while I decide which K-Q adapter to get and I'll undoubtedly get the standard zoom as soon finances permit (through selling off a bit more of my collection of old cameras). A couple of batteries are also on the way. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- 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: peso - pano
Thanks Toine! I used the 40mm pancake lens. Settings were 1/100 sec at f11, ISO 80. I started snapping at 5:03p and finished up almost 5:05p, Florida time, so I had some nice afternoon light. My first shot was the frame with the tree in it, and I worked to the right, moving the camera horizontally, and overlapping each frame about 50%. I read somewhere that's what you're supposed to do. As best I could, when I moved to the right, I eyed a linear path to follow when moving down the street to take the frames. I also made note of camera position and height and tried to repeat that from muscle memory as it were. These frame were handheld since I wasn't traveling with a tripod. After I was finished with the 5 shots of the art work, I decided to take the cafe on the left. I took 3 pictures there, trying to get a good expression and placement of the women working in the cafe. I really didn't have high hopes for that shot, since I snapped it out of sequence and didn't feel confident that I was close to the linear line I had followed for the 5 frames, but I got a little lucky there. When I tried to stitch these 6 frames in Photoshop, the interface made my black pickup on the far right into a convertible--yep, hood completely disappeared, and the back tire in the foreground had a chunk missing--as if some animal had taken a bite out of it. So I decided on this 3 frame crop, which I did in Lightroom after importing the complete 6 frame pano at full size into Lightroom. Actually, Toine, I have a question for you: a while back didn't you share a string method for aligning the camera when doing panos? I had saved that but I can't find it now. You wouldn't happen to have that information handy? Willing to share again? Please! :-) And to Dave Mann: I went to PTGui, and watched one of their tutorial videos, which was excellent. It helped me understand the process really well. If I start doing panos regularly, I just may purchase the software. So thanks for the heads up. And thanks to Rob, Paul, Jack and Dave B.!

Things get lost with time so this is probably the only thing left from the project: http://foto.ri-ki.lv/lielais_04.jpg It shows April 2005. Got a little nostalgic and wanted to share. kris That's cool.

Re: PESO - Party's over
According to Commodore Vanderbilt, owning a yacht was like, Standing fully-clothed under a cold shower, tearing up 100-dollar bills. Of course, he said that back when 100-dollar bills were still worth $100, IYKWIM. The more contemporary description of boats is, a hole in the water that you pour money into. From: Bruce Walker The caption is just a reference to end of summer; pulled out of the water; no more lazy sails around the lake with Great Gatsby-esque folk standing about on deck sipping champagne. My view of yacht ownership may be more romantic than realistic. :-) Thanks, Rick, Frank, David, and anyone else who had a look!

Re: peso - pano
With normal pano's the camera/lens is rotated in its optical nodal point. You moved the camera lens horizontally which creates a much nicer effect, it's also very difficult due to parallax errors if something is in the foreground. Compliments! I must try this myself. If you don't have a tripod a simple string is the solution. Connect it to the camera on one end and create a sling on the other end. Put your foot in the sling and pull the string tight. If you use a spirit level like the ones which fit in the hotshoe your camera is always at he same height and level. google string tripod for instance http://www.instructables.com/id/String-Tripod/ Toine On 23 November 2012 17:32, Christine Aguila christ...@caguila.com wrote: Thanks Toine!

My first shot was the frame with the tree in it, and I worked to the right, moving the camera horizontally, and overlapping each frame about 50%. I read somewhere that's what you're supposed to do. As best I could, when I moved to the right, I eyed a linear path to follow when moving down the street to take the frames. I also made note of camera position and height and tried to repeat that from muscle memory as it were. These frame were handheld since I wasn't traveling with a tripod. After I was finished with the 5 shots of the art work, I decided to take the cafe on the left. I took 3 pictures there, trying to get a good expression and placement of the women working in the cafe. I really didn't have high hopes for that shot, since I snapped it out of sequence and didn't feel confident that I was close to the linear line I had followed for the 5 frames, but I got a little lucky there. When I tried to stitch these 6 frames in Photoshop, the interface made my black pickup on the far right into a convertible--yep, hood completely disappeared, and the back tire in the foreground had a chunk missing--as if some animal had taken a bite out of it.

The new Pen E-PL1
Hi- I've been fooling around with a new Pen E-PL1. Adapters let me use my one M39 lens, a couple of C mount lenses, and my K-mount lenses. (The K mount adapter has a ring that lets me control the aperture, even when the lens is missing the aperture ring.) The camera has a nice Grainy Film filter that I've been abusing. The camera looks kind of funny with the relatively huge 12-24mm zoom bolted to it.

Re: Happy American Thanksgiving!
I'm not sure what was political anywhere in the thread. Maybe I missed something. Our Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October.

Re: BH - no respect for Pentax
on 2012-11-22 21:50 Igor Roshchin wrote BH has 12 pages of black-friday sales items. Those include variety of brands and models, but (unless I missed it) - no Pentax, whatsoever. the Pentax 16-50/2.8 was $750 at BH at some point today, but apparently sold out (buying nothing today, myself) -- 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.

What I've tried tastes pretty bad. we ate Quorn roast which is indeed processed, but it's savory and interesting now and then (Qorn is a variation on the principles which produce tempeh, which i prefer and eat often) better was the galette scratch-made with local organic apples and zero sugar -- 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.
