I suspect it was a Nikon fan boy, or it may have just been a pompous piece of shit. They are hard to tell one from the other.

Re: K-3 review as seen through the eyes of the PF
I have to say, that is a pretty comprehensive review. As I expected the K-3 falls just a bit short in the dynamic range department (over the K-5/ii/iis) but its advantages in other areas would probably still make it a slam dunk upgrade overall for most. It seems that in the AF department, owners of the K-5ii/iis will not notice a big difference in the AF performance, and K-5iis owners already have the AA-free option (though not the switchable option of the K-3). In short, I would say that if you have anything prior to a K-5 the upgrade to a K-3 will be amazing. If you have a K-5, you have a very good camera that you could be happy with for many years, but an upgrade to a K-3 would be significant (in everything except dynamic range). If you have a K-5ii, you already have most of the AF improvements seen in the K-3 but not its other features (PRIME III-related throughput, FPS, HDR, switchable AA, dual slots and, of course, 24MP). If you have a K-5ii, the same things as the K-5ii apply with the possible exception of the AA-related stuff. In any event, Pentax has apparently achieved their objectives in significantly moving the top end of the APS-C cameras, surpassing not only themselves but also the field (if only temporarily). The fact that Canikon CANNOT duplicate the switchable AA filter since they don't use internal SR means that is many ways this is a lead that Pentax could hold for a good while. If Pentax has improved the AF system to the point that IT is no longer a compromise, then I really think that they have shored up the only real vulnerability that they have historically had.

I did the research, and if I can believe what I read, Nikon is not just another Mitsubishi brand name, as Pentax is for Ricoh. Nikon is part of the Mitsubishi Group "Keiretsu" and member companies own shares of each others stock and therefore have a mutual interest in one another's well-being. Nikon is an independent corporation in that it's shares continue to be publicly traded and it reports independent financial results separate from all other members of the group. If it were struggling member companies of the group could decide what to do. It has it's own executives and board of directors. History we all know: That 's far different from Asahi Optical (Pentax) ceasing to exist as a corporation in 2008. When Hoya wanted to unload the Pentax camera business in 2011, it created the subsidiary Pentax Imaging Corporation. Ricoh bought all shares of that temporary entity and the combined companies were called Pentax Ricoh Imaging Company. In 2013 it simply became Ricoh Imaging with Pentax as a brand. Hoya also continues to use the Pentax name for the parts of the business it did not sell to Ricoh, mainly the medical division. Does that mean anything? It depends what one wishes to extrapolate. What it says to me (and I believe you) is that Asahi Optical had a long history of making bad decisions. That made it it vulnerable and at risk. It led to it finally be acquired and becoming non-existent as a corporate business entity. That of course is different than saying you can't purchase a new Pentax camera.

Dual card slots on K-3
Minor detail: what happens if you only have one card in the K-3, and use slot #2 rather than #1? On the way out to dinner last night I grabbed the K-3, neglected to get the card from the reader where I had been downloading some afternoon playing-around shots. But I did have a card in the #2 card slot. When I remembered that #1 was empty, I chose to leave #1 empty. No hiccup, no issue whatsoever. Most of the time most people will probably use the camera as intended: with a card in both slots, #2 used either for a wireless card, for the jpg destination when shooting RAW+ , as a redundant backup when shooting RAW, or as a second card to write to when #1 fills up. But shooting with only one card is allowed, and the one card can be in either slot without any additional setup. 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: Dual card slots on K-3
Stan, I am surprised that such a question was even raised: why would there be any problem with only one card even in the 2nd slot? If there were, - I'd say that would be a manifestation that Pentax/Ricoh engineers are incompetent idiots, which never appeared to be the case. I think you are overthinking it. :-) (Or, maybe that's a sign that you are thoroughly enjoying your new toy.) The fact that you can use the card in the 2nd slot "as a second card to write to when #1 fills up" -- automatically means to me that you can continue shooting even if you took the first one out.

Re: Dual card slots on K-3
Actually Igor, I was half expecting to get a "No Card" warning. All of the instructions are very specific as to slot #1 or #2. JPEGs aways go on #2 under RAW+. Card utilization is always #1 and then #2. On the other hand, it makes sense that the logic is: a) try to write to card #1; b) if card #1is full or otherwise unavailable, write to card #2. Anyway, as I said, a minor detail. I'll leave it to someone else to explore the deeper philosophical question of what happens if you try to shoot RAW+ when #2 is the only slot containing a card. stan On Nov 12, 2013, at 11:54 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > Stan, > > I am surprised that such a question was even raised: why would there be > any problem with only one card even in the 2nd slot? > If there were, - I'd say that would be a manifestation that > Pentax/Ricoh engineers are incompetent idiots, which never appeared to > be the case. > I think you are overthinking it. :-) (Or, maybe that's a sign that you > are thoroughly enjoying your new toy.) > > The fact that you can use the card in the 2nd slot "as a second card to > write to when #1 fills up" -- automatically means to me that you can > continue shooting even if you took the first one out. > > Cheers, > > Igor > > > Tue Nov 12 11:40:09 EST 2013 > Stan Halpin wrote: > > Minor detail: what happens if you only have one card in the K-3, and use slot > #2 rather than #1? > > On the way out to dinner last night I grabbed the K-3, neglected to get the > card from the reader where I had been downloading some afternoon > playing-around shots.

He's not a fan of the AF, which makes sense. He also minimized the anti-aliasing option which is a useful feature in environments outside his scope of experience.

Old Tamron Lens Questions
I have been considering the purchase of a 25-35mm to something lens. In the decision process I went into my drawer of previous lenses too precious to sell. (translation: Once in the drawer, they get lost in the memory ) Out came a Tamron screw mount short (35-135 f 3.5) Macro Zoom. I don't remember this lens and do not understand how to use it. Having an available adapter, it is now sitting on my istDS. I have no questions on the zoom settings but don't understand the macro settings. There are additional settings that change the focus slightly by changing some focus point at the mount and allow the lens to be focused closer to the subject at the long zoom end. There are indicators on the bottom of the barrel of the lens and these range from 1:4 to 1:7. What are these indicators on the macro side trying to tell me? It appears that there is not a great change in focus distance and picture size as I move the lens setting from 1:4 to 1:7 and the image does not seem to change radically as I move the zoom in and out although the focus distance does decrease. Is this a good learning tool or do I have an additional paper weight to add to the collection? Can this lens be used on the K-series and what is the impact on a full frame camera if one appeared? I would guess that the coverage would be fine as it was designed for a film camera? Thanks for reading this.

Re: Old Tamron Lens Questions
Maybe the difference between 1:7 and 1:4 is not that much? It should probably give you the closest focus at the wide end in macro mode if it allows that. Some lenses will only lock into macro at a particular focal length. On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 4:29 PM, John wrote: > I have been considering the purchase of a 25-35mm to something lens.

Re: Old Tamron Lens Questions
John, Taking a guess here, it sounds like you may have a Tamron Adaptall lens with the m42 adaptall mount attached. (You could get a KM adaptall mount to replace the m42 adaptall mount and save yourself the need of an m42 to K adapter. If it is an Adaptall lens, it is probably either a 22A or a 40A (model number). Since you mention that it is macro at the LONG end, I'm guessing it is the 22A: http://www.adaptall-2.org/lenses/22A.html If that is the lens, here are a couple of threads with sample images: http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=39934&view=previous http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=41767&view=previous Otherwise the 40A page is here: http://www.adaptall-2.org/lenses/40A.html That page says that it has the macro focus on the short end (35mm) On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 3:29 PM, John wrote: > I have been considering the purchase of a 25-35mm to something lens.

PESO: K-3 moon shot for Larry
I think it was Larry who suggested a shot of the moon with a reasonably good lens . . . This is with the DA* 300/4.0, ISO400. Conditions not quite ideal, patchy clouds and mist, but this was at a relatively clear point. I tried some other shots with the 60-250/4.0 but was never able to achieve a good focus. I had a turkey perched, roosting in a tree with the moon over its shoulder, but had no decent shots.

I think some browsers or mail readers are mishandling the URL (dropping the part after the # ?).

Nice pic. Good to see. I once worked around the corner at Hearst, 224 w 57th. I often parked in the long gone NY coliseum at Columbus circle. Pulled apart the engine of my 70 Pontiac in the coliseum garage when the timing chain broke. A 20 hour day. Ruined my clothes but fixed my car.

I had a turkey perched, roosting in a tree with the moon over its shoulder, but had no decent shots. Next time I'll start with that before my hands get too cold. http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p155717848/h355d86ba#h29a089b stan “Analysis kills spontaneity.” -- Henri-Frederic Amiel -- 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.
