Re:Samples from the DA55/1.4

[lrc]

A 55 has the same FOV as an 83mm on film. Very close to the 85 mm standard for 
portrait lenses.

Re: FS: Two Sigma 24mm f/2.8 Super-Wide II lenses (one AF, one MF)

[Miserere]

I owned the manual focus version of this lens for quite some time and
liked it for its good IQ and small size. I also enjoyed its close-up
capabilities; not a macro, but it focused closer than just about any
other 24mm (or 28mm) I've come across. When I look back at my photos
with it, most of them tended to be close-ups. A couple of examples I
have handy:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/miserere/2475111567/in/photostream

http://www.flickr.com/photos/miserere/2455156403/in/photostream

I sought the AF version for a long time but the few times I saw it for
sale it went for far more than I would pay for it (on eBay). I
would've gladly paid $135! But alas, Joe, you are a few years too late
 :-)

For the book of anecdotes, I remember not being able to use the focus
confirmation on my K10D with this lens when manual focusing because it
would consistently miss focus (either back or front, I can't remember
which, but always the same).

Good luck with your sale!

Cheers,

Re: Samples from the DA55/1.4

[Bob Sullivan]

Tom,

I don't know how google works for you.
For me, there is a (link upper right) to a photo details page.
In summary, there are 2 candlelight portraits at ISO3200 F2.0 & 1/15th
or 1/13th.
There's a flash shot (looking down) ISO400 F3.5 & 1/100th.
The flags and Univ of Chicago banner is ISO400 f2.0 & 1/60th.
The stain glass window is ISO400 f2.0 & 1/640th,
The other two, Dave and Allie are ISO 800 f2.0 & 1/100th.
They are all from the new K-5IIs and shot on P mode.
Looking at the results, the lens seems to like F2.0.

I think the 55mm vs 50mm is the marketing guys we so malign.
Who would buy a new DA50/1.4 when they have a FA50/1.4?
I really like the lens...

Regards,  Bob S.

Cancer sucks, I spent most of this year with prostate surgery, then

Charles,
I don't know, but wonderful colors for the dark.
The picture I just posted with the 55mm was lit by 1 candlepower.
It shows ISO 3200 @ f2.0 and 1/15 sec in lightroom.
I suppose you could translate...

"how dark was it really?" calculating with ISO, shutter speed, and aperture

I was in a park in Nevada (Valley of Fire), the sun was setting, it was getting 
difficult to see… I took some photos which came out OK - and due to the ability 
to tweak white balance, exposure, etc, it looks like the photos were taken at a 
regular time of day.

But I was there, and I KNOW it was dark dark dark.

Is there some sort of "exposure equivalence" table which can tell me "how dark 
it really was" when I had to expose a frame at ISO 1250, 1/13th of a second, at 
f/4.0?

I'm sure they could, but it would cannibalise sales from Ricoh's GXR.
They need to integrate these similar products, not diversify the
ranges even more.

They would have had to design it for one to start with.  If there was to 
be a K-02 that might have made the feature cut, or maybe not.  With 
Pentax you never know.


I still think that the most hopeful place to see a future mirrorless K 
mount is a module for the Ricoh GXR, it wouldn't need a built in screw 
drive auto focus motor to be viable, and while there's been some 
speculation that you couldn't fit a drive motor into such a module micro 
motor drives can be made to fit a lot o places. Powering it would 
probably be a bigger problem than packaging.


Sure it would be bulky, on the other hand have you seen the Alpha lens 
adapters for the Sony Nex series?

Isn't the problem that the K-01 is Hoya's idea, not Ricoh's?  Hoya
didn't have to integrate its products with a stablemate brand.  Ricoh
has a closely competitive product, the GXR with the Mount A12 unit
which is currently priced in the low $US800s for a body plus lens
mount module (without lens). An EVF adds another $US200 and a bit.
The K-01 body can be bought in the low $US300s at present, which makes
it excellent value by comparison if you can live without an EVF, or if
an EVF was never in your budget.

My feeling is that the new Pentax-Ricoh entity should fold these two
cameras into a single product line with two distinct bodies like
Nikon's V1 and J1 for customers who either do or don't want an EVF.  A
camera with integrated EVF will always be cheaper than a
viewfinderless body plus an external EVF.  Pentax simply cannot afford
to put cameras on shelves at a higher price than a competitors
solution.  Ricoh can because it has developed more of that indefinable
boutique cachet that Pentax wishes it had.  Some Pentax lenses might
have it, but no camera since the MZ-S has been anything that a
competitor wishes was their own.  Class leading performance doesn't
cut it when the competion is already trading in a higher class.

I spoke of this before.  A short register would mean abandoning
compatibility with screwdriver AF.  How many of Pentax's customer base
will live with that?

I was going to suggest that, but felt it might  be too obvious.

In my new laptop, occasionally it essentially locks the  control key as 
down, so I can't type in emails. I've googled and googled to find  out what the 
problem is and evidentially, according to lots of posts in various  
discussion forums, it is usually its an add-on mouse and its driver.

So  it MIGHT be a similar problem. But I definitely would try checking the 
Task  Manager first.

Re: What's wrong with the K-01

[Brian Walters]

What I find a bit baffling is why it is taking so long for Pentax to  
produce another mirrorless APS-C camera.


They've obviously got the 'guts' of a good camera in the K-01.  Would  
it be that difficult to produce a new version with a viewfinder (with  
or preferably without Newson)?


Maybe the problem is developing a new range of lenses to suit the  
shorter register distance.

FS: Two Sigma 24mm f/2.8 Super-Wide II lenses (one AF, one MF)

[luiz felipe]

Joe, that exposure correction matches my findings on one sample Sigma 
AF 24mm 2.8, with MZ5, PZ70, PZ1p, Mx and Lx (both Mx and Lx needed no 
correction at all). Wrong maximum aperture reported to the camera was 
tought to be the problem back then.


Cheers,

lf

Joe's words:
The AF lens seems to need a -1.0 EF adjustment on most Pentax digital 
bodies; the MF lens needs -1.3 EF or so (this seems to be typical of 
Sigma lenses from the film era on current Pentax bodies?)

No we're not a bunch of old fogies, holding a camera out at arms leingth

It might. By far and away the biggest reason for shooting MF film was
the increase in resolution and the ability to capture finer gradations
in light and color as opposed to smaller media. Upper end 24x36
digital pretty much fulfills that for numerous photographers.

> The DoF is different, handling is different, sensor performance is different.

That's true. Are those differences always desired, or are they often
just part and parcel with moving to a larger format for the gain in
resolution and range? For the price difference, there'd better be some
pretty specific attributes that aren't achievable or able to be
duplicated in a smaller body. For a large number of MF film
photographers, there wasn't enough difference to prevent them moving
to high resolution 24x36 format Canon's. Especially in terms of
nature, landscape, non-studio modeling, action, the portability and
weight makes the smaller format mighty attractive. Price surely makes
a difference.

I suppose there will always be a reason for MF digital, and given that
sensor technology and usable resolution continue to improve, there
will no doubt be some applications that demand MF digital. However,
the lines blurred and they continue to blur.

True, deciding only on specs would be foolhardy.

Buying a camera based only on specifications is like marrying someone based 
only on their height, weight and hair color.  Sometimes the numbers are 
important, sometimes things like personality and how they feel in your hands

Re: Pentax 645D IR

[David Parsons]

Photographers that want to shoot MFD are going to use MFD, not FF
35mm.  It doesn't matter that the D800 has a similar number of pixels.

The DoF is different, handling is different, sensor performance is different.

Having held and looked through a D700 (close enough to a D800) and a
645D, they are nothing alike.  You'd never want to pick one over the
other without actually using them.  Deciding only based on specs is
foolhardy.

The price difference is roughly $5700 ($6000 if the non-E D800). One
could have 2 D800's and almost $2800 left over for lenses or 1 D800
and $5800 left over for lenses, or a new computer to process the
images, or photography vehicle, or X months mortgage payments.

Not, to beat 'a dead horse until it's nothing but a smoking crater
where a greasy spot used to be', as Larry so eloquently put it.

By the time the 645D was released many medium format shooters were
already moving from film to high-end Canon 24x36 DSLR's. It just
wasn't/isn't Pentax medium format that's feeling the pressure, it's
medium format in general.

RE: What's wrong with the K-01

[Gerrit Visser]

I found the effects of the biopsy (severe infection, shakes and 104 fever)
much worse than the 4 hour surgery. The infection was scary, 911 call 2
nights in a row. Very little pain from the surgery. 33 days of radiation
were done 4 months later. Very tiring, due in part to changing schedule
every day plus the usual lovely construction delays on West bound 401!
I had no symptoms at all, just happened to get a PSA test. Cancer was
aggressive and had gone slightly outside of the prostate which we wouldn't
have known if I hadn't gone for surgery.
The care at NYGH and Sunnybrook was stellar. And so much moral support from
our friends, as you say that is so uplifting.
It all makes you appreciate life in subtle ways that I couldn't have thought
of before. We will enjoy our upcoming cruise even more than usual!

If you are over 55, get a yearly PSA test; early detection means less
invasive and more treatment options.

Thanks, John, Christine, Brian.

The annoying aspect is that I had no symptoms UNTIL the treatment started,
and the second month is expected to be worse as the radiation takes effect.
My family history meant that my PSA level was being watched closely, and at
the first sign of acceleration the biopsies began and eventually found the
very earliest traces of cancer.  I'm told that noticeable symptoms indicate
a serious tumour, and treatment at that stage is necessarily more radical.
In that case I'm glad to have traded a few biopsies and a brachytherapy
procedure for what is a very nasty piece of surgery backed up by a gruelling
course of external radiation.  I'm sure I'll feel lucky after the dust has
settled.
