After receiving it and checking condition, I started out with FreeCAD to make a drawing of the mount. I have never used a CAD program before and struggled a little bit in the beginning. But after three long evenings, it was finished. I sent the drawing file to Shapeways and got a plastic mount two weeks later. The plastic mount is solid enough to test it on a tripod and after some small adjustments on the drawing, I sent the files to a company who will make it of aluminum. I am promised to have this in the week or two.

Re: PESO: Glenn
I don't think you'll get good results with matrix, Walt. You've got a similar challenge as in stage performance shooting. You've got a low-key environment, much of it in darkness, punctuated with bright spot lights and internally lit objects (eg the jukebox). If you go matrix metering I think you'll generally end up with very dark faces and well exposed jukeboxes. :-) I'd consider going for spot metering. When I'm shooting stage performers I consider their face to be be key and I spot meter off that. Then I add two thirds of a stop because caucasian skin isn't 18% grey. That gets me pretty good exposures. This will get you blown out jukeboxes unfortunately, but you need to take other steps to deal with that, like different framing, getting it behind your subject, or fixing in post.

Re: PESO: Roosting Turkey
Thanks Dan et al for your comments. We have often thought about converting some of the roosting turkeys into roasting turkeys, or at least rousting them. They are kind of like a destitute lazy brother-in-law that moves in with you: we really like seeing them now and then, but would just as soon they didn't take up permanent residence with us. Their droppings make a mess on the lawn, they are constantly getting into the food we put out in feeders for songbirds, they keep banging into the windows while trying to fight with their reflection in the glass . . . There are nights we have as many as 18-20 of them roosting in that tree, though at this time of year (mating and nesting season) the flock has dispersed somewhat. Last night there were five in the tree, but I could only get the one in the frame if I were to include the moonlight reflection in the water. stan From: Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2013 3:26 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net Subject: PESO: Roosting Turkey A beautiful moon across the river this evening.

Using Pentax 67 lenses on K-mount bodies?
I have noticed that used lenses in longer focal lengths (e.g., 600mm) are more available and with more manageable prices in Pentax 67 mounts than K-mount. I know it is feasible to use the 67 (or 645) lenses on my K-5ii with adapter. I would imagine at that point I would have a totally manual lens which might be worth it if the image quality were good enough. So, does anyone here have experience using the 600mm or other 67 lens on a K-mount? Particularly on a recent body like K-20D, K-7, K-5 . . .? stan -- 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.

You've got a low-key environment, much of it in darkness, punctuated with bright spot lights and internally lit objects (eg the jukebox). If you go matrix metering I think you'll generally end up with very dark faces and well exposed jukeboxes. :-) I'd consider going for spot metering. When I'm shooting stage performers I consider their face to be be key and I spot meter off that. Then I add two thirds of a stop because caucasian skin isn't 18% grey. That gets me pretty good exposures. This will get you blown out jukeboxes unfortunately, but you need to take other steps to deal with that, like different framing, getting it behind your subject, or fixing in post. Walt, you are there every day. The lights don't move around. You should know that if someone sits at the bar under the light, the exposure will be ISO 6400, f/4 at 1/50 sec, if they are at the table in the corner where that cute girl sits, it's ISO 10,000, f/1.8 at 1/20. If you want a shot with the jukebox not blown out, your option may be to expose for the jukebox and just use a little bit of fill flash. My suggestion is to set up lights so that one particular spot at the bar is nicely lit. In that shot of Glenn, if you set up another, dimmer light that just happend to provide a bit of fill and soften the shadows, that would work. I also suggest that you put a pink frilly barstool there so that it will be favored by the distaff set.

Re: Using Pentax 67 lenses on K-mount bodies?
The P67 600/4 is a very old design. Apart from being hugely heavy it is also notorious for chromatic aberration unless well stopped down. The P67 800/4 is the same as the 600 but bigger and is difficult to find while the 800/6.7 is pricey. The 500/5.6 can be had below $1k on a good day and is newer than the K500/4.5 so is probably the best option. I don't know anything about the 645 lenses but would expect them to be modern designs and worth looking at.

Re: PESO: Roosting Turkey
From: Stan Halpin Thanks Dan et al for your comments. We have often thought about converting some of the roosting turkeys into roasting turkeys, or at least rousting them.

Their droppings make a mess on the lawn, they are constantly getting into the food we put out in feeders for songbirds, they keep banging into the windows while trying to fight with their reflection in the glass . . . There are nights we have as many as 18-20 of them roosting in that tree, though at this time of year (mating and nesting season) the flock has dispersed somewhat.

Re: PESO - Robin
Wow knarF. It's so sharp I almost cut my eye on it! Very nice capture and the branch doesn't other me. -Original Message- From: knarftheria...@gmail.com knarftheria...@gmail.com Subject: PESO - Robin I wish that branch wasn't in front of him.

Re: PESO: Roosting Turkey
On Apr 25, 2013, at 8:01 PM, John Sessoms wrote: From: Stan Halpin Thanks Dan et al for your comments. We have often thought about converting some of the roosting turkeys into roasting turkeys, or at least rousting them. They are kind of like a destitute lazy brother-in-law that moves in with you: we really like seeing them now and then, but would just as soon they didn't take up permanent residence with us. Their droppings make a mess on the lawn, they are constantly getting into the food we put out in feeders for songbirds, they keep banging into the windows while trying to fight with their reflection in the glass . . . There are nights we have as many as 18-20 of them roosting in that tree, though at this time of year (mating and nesting season) the flock has dispersed somewhat. Last night there were five in the tree, but I could only get the one in the frame if I were to include the moonlight reflection in the water. stan Do they make as big a mess as Canada Geese do? No, not quite as bad. And when the geese come up on the main lawn, the turkeys chase them away, so that is a good thing. stan -- 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: Using Pentax 67 lenses on K-mount bodies?
Thanks Paul, good food for thought. I never paid much attention to the lens lineup for the 67 or 6x7 but I should have realized that it would all have been old-tech with all of the limitations that implies. I am probably better off buying a lottery ticket and using the winnings for the new 560mm lens. stan On Apr 25, 2013, at 7:32 PM, Paul Ewins wrote: The P67 600/4 is a very old design. Apart from being hugely heavy it is also notorious for chromatic aberration unless well stopped down. The P67 800/4 is the same as the 600 but bigger and is difficult to find while the 800/6.7 is pricey. The 500/5.6 can be had below $1k on a good day and is newer than the K500/4.5 so is probably the best option. I don't know anything about the 645 lenses but would expect them to be modern designs and worth looking at.

I know it is feasible to use the 67 (or 645) lenses on my K-5ii with adapter. I would imagine at that point I would have a totally manual lens which might be worth it if the image quality were good enough. So, does anyone here have experience using the 600mm or other 67 lens on a K-mount? Particularly on a recent body like K-20D, K-7, K-5 . . .? stan -- -- 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.
