Re: The Bokina II has landed!
Congratulations. I've been using the original Vivitar Series 1 version for 15 yard or so. Have never felt the need for another macro, and the longer reach that APS-C gives it makes it all the better.

Re: The Bokina II has landed!
I'm wondering...what is the magnification of 1:1 on APS-C. Since the image area is smaller, the magnification is greater. Is it around 1.25:1?

A couple of weeks ago a manual focus Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro with 1:1 Extender and original case showed up on an auction site. The problem was, the silly seller did not specify what mount the lens was. Now I'm not terribly familiar with the Tokina AT-X line, but this lens appeared (even from the inadequate photos) to be in superb condition. And I could make out a Green A at the end of the aperture ring. I surmised correctly, as it turns out, that this was the rare Bokina II in a PK/A mount. -- 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.

We had a bit of snow Tuesday and Wednesday from a huge storm that luckily was mostly rain and sleet (but still several inches of snow) by the time it got here.

Re: Writing is hard
I do technical writing for my living these days. Yes indeed: it is often very hard, slow work to do well. Assignments often seem to be in a state of perpetual slow motion. It is wise to keep in mind that the industry standard for an experienced, professional technical writer is that they should be able to achieve approximately a page per work day of finished work, not counting review and editorial re-write cycles. So if your book is planned to be 100 pages in length, figure on at least 100 full time days to get the first draft completed... When it seems to be going too slowly, I think about my projects in that time scale and they all fall into about that rate on average. (Professional technical writers on staff rarely get a full work day of writing per work day in, there are many other facets to working for a large company that consume work day time, so the actual output is usually about a half to a third that volume.)

From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Aahz Maruch Purchasing your own domain is pretty cheap these days and both LR and jAlbum offer a plethora of gallery designs to use. If you don't have LR, jAlbum is still free, I believe. Both LR and jAlbum have built- in FTP so you don't even have to use an external FTP to get your gallery uploaded. As an alternative, most ISPs offer a limited amount of web space you can use for galleries as well. You just have to be aware of when you're running out of space and rotate the crop. It's not just disk space, which was the point of my comment about Flickr: bandwidth is a bigger issue if you ever get lots of visitors. I overall agree that a personal domain is better, but you need to be aware of the potential consequences.

Bran hung around these parts from time to time. He was a man who embraced many causes and seemed to be genuinely kind and generous. Sorry to hear of his passing. He was only 54 years old. Taken too soon. When I signed up to Facebook I got a friend request from Bran in less than five minutes. He regularly commented on my status updates and I on his, though I barely remember him from PDML. As Doug said, there was something endearing about him. Definately taken too soon. He took good pictures. -- Steve Sharpe d...@eastlink.ca -- 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. -- 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.
