Re: Bulk Film Loading
Thanks, Jen - so far I've only only loaded up on roll of bulk film (Kentemre 400) plus two test rolls of some expired TMAX 100 that was being sold on ebay. INthe case of the Tmax, I loaded the bulk roll, spooled out the test rolls, and then unloaded the bulk roll. The film tested out fine. I've decided to just buy a bulk roll (maybe two) a month for a while till I have ample supply in the freezer. One bulk roll takes up a lot less space than the corresponding number f 35mm rolls.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
I want to minimize the wasted film in the header and (int he case of bulk loading) the tail - since that is a constant the more film in the canister means a greater ratio fo used film to wasted film... BUT - I have had a couple of longer rolls and spooling them onto standard plastice spools can be a problem is they get too long. SO, I am sticking with 36 exposure per roll for now. It still takes me a long time to shot out that much film... Mark On 10/6/2013 1:21 AM, Jens wrote: It may be annoying not knowing how many frames are in the canister.

The only unmentioned downside I can think of to leaving a bulk roll in the loader and loading rolls as needed, is that you _may_ increase the chances of picking up a piece of grit in a seal and scoring the rest of the roll.

The magic is lost on most , excepting when some see their image emerging from the dusky blue Impossible Project opacifier. Then the print materializes as a special thing into their consciousness. A second Polaroid Spectra SE Onyx arrived yesterday. This is the fifth Polaroid camera given to me as a gift. It woke up from long slumber with my usual Polaroid Resurrection Technique (fit empty film pack with a good battery and let the camera cycle a few times by pressing the shutter, fit a dummy film pack with a good battery and a load of junk film prints to cycle the picker mechanism and be sure the feed and rollers are working smoothly, then and only then risk a fresh $25 pack of film ...). Again, it is in perfect working order after being Reawakened. I shot five exposures out of the pack. I don't know why for sure, but seeing prints pop out of the camera gives me a funny thrill.

Re: PESO - Morning Light
Well, you take a bucket or step stool with you to stand on when you are too low for a shot. Oh, and a purple evil minion with wild hair (it used to be a troll toy with orange hair, but time moves on). Then you plump it down in the middle of the shot. To give perspective and be annoying cute. And if you really, really want to and have the time -- you travel around the world and plump it down in the middle of shots in all the countries you visit.

They are all over the place here, and sorry, can't look at pictures of them with any enjoyment. There used to be an Eastern and a Western Wild Turkey.

Then someone had the bright idea of introducing (re-introducing) the Eastern Wild Turkey to fill that niche.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
So far this year I've shot about 80 rolls of 35mm and maybe a couple dozen 120 rolls, so that's a volume where bulk still makes sense. the bulk rolls do take up a lot less room in the freezer and provide flexibility for short rolls.

Re: More leaked specs for the K-3

Re: More leaked specs for the K-3
Darren, the sensor shift idea would be _very_ simple to implement, and because it would act just like the old fixed-in-position anti-moire filters do; i.e. globally and without any processing involved. As soon as you have to run some code over the entire image looking for specific patterns you've got power-robbing CPU work, image pipeline slowdowns, etc. To implement the sensor shift idea, you could drive the sensor motors with a single full sine wave each, with the X and Y signals 90 degrees out of phase. This is just like driving stepper motors (a technique I used to develop way back in the 1980's when I worked for an office automation company designing daisy wheel printers). Sending these signals to the sensor shift motors would cause the sensor to describe a small circle. Mechanical gaussian blur.

You mustn't get around much, Attila. ;-) Sure not that much:) The service bureau where I get my printing done has a Canon digital press, a very popular system. It's the kind of machine that Blurb must use in their backend. It can do book binding with the right module add-on. The thing is enormous. You almost need a scooter to get from the one end to the the other. They only warm it up when there are a number of large jobs to run because it takes about 15 minutes just to turn it on. Well I was thinking more about normal office like offices... where you just print / scan / fax a few pages, not photo or book related things. Those are somewhat specialist and unfortunately we don't have many around here.

Re: OT - Positive Customer Service
That's definitely superior customer service. No quibbling about how long it's been since they offered the upgrade or badgering you for shipping and other fees.

Worked OK but with the next Pentax generation it was good only for manual use since it didn't match P-TTL. At the time Sigma offered a free upgrade, but I used it as a good excuse to bring an AF540 into the house, followed more recently by a Metz 58. Fast forward to July 2013 and I'm looking at the Sigma and thinking it might be worth the $10 postage to send it in a see if it's upgradeable for the K-5 and, if so, how much Sigma would charge for said upgrade. So...off it went to Sigma in NY on July 20. Ten days later UPS is at the door with a package from Sigma - with my upgraded 500DG - no charge.

Fwd: Is there a way to speed up uploads to Flikr?
For Eric, a repost of some Flickr-uploading help ... -- Forwarded message -- From: Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com Date: Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 9:33 AM Subject: Re: Is there a way to speed up uploads to Flikr? To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Eric, Darren discussed your link speed, but you may have little control over that if you're in hotels or bunking with someone. So it's not Flickr being slow but rather you have limited upload bandwidth available. So you have to make the best of what you've got and that means reducing the amount of data you are sending. I noticed that you are uploading your full-sized camera images: 2008x3008 pixels. Do you really need to do that? Would 684x1024 be good enough? This depends on who you are uploading these for. I also noticed that your images are noisy (based on your PESO image 20130916-IMGP6886 at 2008x3008). You may not care about a little noise but it makes your JPEGs larger. This is because the more high frequency content in an image the less the JPEG compression algorithms can squeeze it. Noise is useless high frequency content. You're using Lightroom 5 so you should apply some noise reduction to all your images. You can make it a default setting applied during import. After that, well if you can't make the uploads any faster, then at least make them more convenient -- make them run in the background. Since you're using Lightroom, you should configure the builtin Flickr Exporter (uploader). It will let you down-size the uploaded images, compress them more, convert them to sRGB, etc, all automatically during the upload. Then you can simply drag a large selection of images over to the Flickr Exporter and let it rip. Hope that helps, Eric.
