Re: You didn't hear it from me...
You are correct, and with diffraction I think that 24-30mp is approaching the limits of what aps-c can resolve. I know the theoretical ceiling is much higher, but realistically we are reaching the limits of current lenses. Look at the D800 for instance. So 18% more resolution. I welcome that. Nearly 20% larger is still a sizable increase IMO. On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 1:28 AM, P.J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com wrote: Linear resolution is what counts with a 20mp sensor the linear resolution is increases by only 10%, with a 24mp sensor linear resolution is increased by 18%. To get a 33% increase in linear resolution you'll need a sensor of a bit more than 28mp. The pixels are getting pretty small at that point, on an APS-C sensor and the laws of physics that make high ISO with low noise problematic in small sensor cameras begin to rear their ugly heads.

Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com: Ricoh used to make a line of second string K mount SLRs, prior to that they made a line of second string m42 mount SLRs, and apparently they marketed a Nikon mount SLR, made by Mamiym. They put some pretty nice technology into them, often the K mount bodies seemed to have somewhat better tech and more features than Pentax, and they were pretty nice cameras, but there was always something off about their ergonomics. Back when Pentax still had a presence in most Cameras stores, (not that long ago actually), one of the best local camera stores in the area went out of business, (they had one of my LXen in for repair, and I was worried about getting it back, I did eventually), at their going out of business sale they had a used Ricoh, I forget the model number, it resembled a Pentax A3 but included a ME Super style button system for setting manual shutter speeds IIRC. This particular camera seemed to be pristine condition and the price was certainly right, I was seriously considering buying it as a body to carry where I didn't want to risk a LX or MX, when one of the buttons simply fell off. The salesman who I knew, (it wasn't a paid liquidator running the sale), said, That seems to happen a lot, it just snaps back on. I decided to take a pass. Ricoh abandoned the SLR market sometime in the 90's. I don't remember when, exactly. I don't remember any big announcement, such as when Yashica stopped making cameras, Ricoh just sort of stopped, making SLRs. I had a Ricoh XR-2 in the 1970s/80s. It may have been a second-string brand but it was an excellent camera - functionally equivalent to the ME Super in a slightly larger body and without the push buttons. Sadly, it was stolen in the mid 80s but, on the positive side, the theft brought me back to Pentax :-) I think Ricoh decided not to get involved in the SLR autofocus race. They continued to make a few manual focus SLRs until the mid 90s before pulling the plug. You're probably right. The conversion to AF SLRs was difficult for most manufacturers. Canon was roundly despised by their user base for doing the right thing and obsoleting the FL/FD mount in favor of the EOS mount, which was specifically designed for the future AF and electronic control models. It was/is very successful even today as it is a very large diameter bayonet flange on a relatively short mount register, allowing a smooth conversion to digital capture. Nikon and everyone else without a purpose designed mount flange have struggled a bit. Ricoh made an excellent line of SLRs. We used to buy them for the student photo staff/camera club when I was in high school as they were less expensive than Pentax and seemed to need service much less often in the hands of a bunch of high school kids.

Yet another reason I love my K-5s

A bit rough, but for ISO 10,000, it's not bad. There's a bit of clipping in the highlights, and the background is pretty much lost. On a lark, I thought I'd see if I could pull a bit of the background out. In the original version, you can nearly see seafoam. So, even with my very meager lightroom skills, this is what I was able to get out of the shot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/9887379824/ The background is noisy, but if you look you can see the waves, and the big rock on the beach. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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: You didn't hear it from me...
Quality aside, proportion is important to your enjoyment of an image. As wonderful as your 4.25x3.5 image may be, it's going to look out of place and hard to view mounted above my fireplace. But my 36x24 landscape is going to look just fine there (unless it's too soft or pixellated due to having been taken on a low rez camera).

Slide Scanner?
Been thinking about family photos from trips when I was a kid. They were all 35mm slides, and/or stereo realist slides (which, if you chop in half, makes a 35mm slide). Really should convert them all into digital. They are most of the family pictures I have. I have an Epson Perfection flat bed kicking around somewhere. But it is pretty old now, so figured maybe there are newer ones now that would do a better job. Also I had a lot of problems with dust using it. I am sort of thinking $200 or under. Or around there.

PESO: Mr. Moore and my Yamaha
I'm sure I've shared at least one photo of this man here before, but he happens to be one of my favorite subjects and someone for whom I have undying personal admiration. His name is Jimmy Moore, and he's a Korean War-era Army veteran. He just missed deployment when they deactivated his division, the 11th Airborne, which he signed up for simply because they were training at Ft. Campbell at the time, which would allow him to drive back home to his favorite party town, a.k.a. Cairo, IL. He's 80 years old and still as strong as an ox. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/9901114106/#large K-5, FA 50/1.7, 1/80, ISO 3200, f/2.8 He'll probably be around quite a while longer, but when he does eventually go, I'll be glad I have this photo to give to his family.

It doesn't take too much to do an excellent job, and you can use the lens for other things as well. - if you're going to be doing this a lot, want the best quality, and are willing to put in the time for learning etc, buy the best film scanner (new or used) and software to drive it that you can afford.

Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com: Ricoh used to make a line of second string K mount SLRs, prior to that they made a line of second string m42 mount SLRs, and apparently they marketed a Nikon mount SLR, made by Mamiym. They put some pretty nice technology into them, often the K mount bodies seemed to have somewhat better tech and more features than Pentax, and they were pretty nice cameras, but there was always something off about their ergonomics. Back when Pentax still had a presence in most Cameras stores, (not that long ago actually), one of the best local camera stores in the area went out of business, (they had one of my LXen in for repair, and I was worried about getting it back, I did eventually), at their going out of business sale they had a used Ricoh, I forget the model number, it resembled a Pentax A3 but included a ME Super style button system for setting manual shutter speeds IIRC. This particular camera seemed to be pristine condition and the price was certainly right, I was seriously considering buying it as a body to carry where I didn't want to risk a LX or MX, when one of the buttons simply fell off. The salesman who I knew, (it wasn't a paid liquidator running the sale), said, That seems to happen a lot, it just snaps back on. I decided to take a pass. Ricoh abandoned the SLR market sometime in the 90's. I don't remember when, exactly. I don't remember any big announcement, such as when Yashica stopped making cameras, Ricoh just sort of stopped, making SLRs. I had a Ricoh XR-2 in the 1970s/80s. It may have been a second-string brand but it was an excellent camera - functionally equivalent to the ME Super in a slightly larger body and without the push buttons. Sadly, it was stolen in the mid 80s but, on the positive side, the theft brought me back to Pentax :-) I think Ricoh decided not to get involved in the SLR autofocus race. They continued to make a few manual focus SLRs until the mid 90s before pulling the plug. You're probably right. The conversion to AF SLRs was difficult for most manufacturers. Canon was roundly despised by their user base for doing the right thing and obsoleting the FL/FD mount in favor of the EOS mount, which was specifically designed for the future AF and electronic control models. It was/is very successful even today as it is a very large diameter bayonet flange on a relatively short mount register, allowing a smooth conversion to digital capture. Nikon and everyone else without a purpose designed mount flange have struggled a bit. Ricoh made an excellent line of SLRs. We used to buy them for the student photo staff/camera club when I was in high school as they were less expensive than Pentax and seemed to need service much less often in the hands of a bunch of high school kids.

Re: You didn't hear it from me...
On 23/9/13, John, discombobulated, unleashed: I thought you bought a Telecaster? nooo. I had a Strat for while but I just wasn't having fun with it. I have a love/hate relationship with guitars. I had a really nice mando a few years ago but had to sell it as was desperate for cash. Things better now so have a cheapy mando (Ibanez) but did a little fiddlin with a new bridge and some decent strings etc and it sounds okay. Love playing it.

Re: Slide Scanner?
Call Nikon USA service. I believe they are still servicing Coolscan IV, V, 4000, 5000, 8000 and 9000 models. I traded my IV for a V, and this year grabbed a 9000. Terrific scanner!

Re: PESO: Mr. Moore and my Yamaha
A very powerful portrait with great context. I'm sure the family will love it. They might even appreciate it before he passes on. -- Bruce Sent from my iPad On Sep 23, 2013, at 11:15 AM, Walt ldott...@gmail.com wrote: I'm sure I've shared at least one photo of this man here before, but he happens to be one of my favorite subjects and someone for whom I have undying personal admiration. His name is Jimmy Moore, and he's a Korean War-era Army veteran. He just missed deployment when they deactivated his division, the 11th Airborne, which he signed up for simply because they were training at Ft. Campbell at the time, which would allow him to drive back home to his favorite party town, a.k.a. Cairo, IL. He's 80 years old and still as strong as an ox. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/9901114106/#large K-5, FA 50/1.7, 1/80, ISO 3200, f/2.8 He'll probably be around quite a while longer, but when he does eventually go, I'll be glad I have this photo to give to his family.

Re: PESO - Checking the Accommodation
Quoting Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com: Gorgeous birds, Brian, and a great composition. Did they eventually move in? Thanks Bruce, Paul Jack. No - it's an interesting tree hollow. Apart from the galahs, it's been checked out by Kookaburras, Eastern Rosellas and even a pair of wood ducks. The galahs have been returning every day or so but they have made no attempt to move in. The hollow certainly seems big enough - both birds have been inside at the same time - but there must be something unsuitable about it. Maybe it gets too wet. Or the rent's too high...

Re: You didn't hear it from me...
No, I remember the gallery you posted from your factory visit at Marshall. That was recently. Sometime just this past summer I think? I remember it because I took the tour at Gibson Memphis on my way west last January they don't allow any photographs. Your gallery made me jealous. Cotty posted a couple things here when he got the guitar ... around Christmas 2009 I think. If I remember, he asked for advice about what amp to get along with it. I thought he got a Tele, but he says it was a Strat. On 9/23/2013 4:34 PM, Chris Mitchell wrote: I thought you bought a Telecaster? You may be thinking of me.
