Re: Save me from my desire...
Or, looked at another way, that K-3, computer and several guitars is a Leica monochrom! I used to play (and I use the word loosely) flamenco, but very badly, and when my guitar snapped one day I took it as a warning from the muses, dumped the wreckage, and cut my fingernails.

If you read the B&H reviews, many people still enjoy using Silver Efex Pro to do their own rendering from the RAW files (which still contain way more information than a mere JPEG does). You've got all kind of creativity left there. Whether it is worth $8K for the camera and several $K more for the decent lenses to put on it is a different matter.

Re: Pentax is in good hands...
That's me...so I did not take the photo :) On another note, we were able to lobby something enviable: the Pentax factory now services/repairs cameras (current models so as not to disrupt their logistics). You cannot walk-in (yet) to have your camera fixed as everything is mediated by the local distributor; besides being in an archipelago you really cannot 'walk'-in anyway (it would involve swimming or flying too). For us here in the Philippines, it saves having to send the cameras to Japan for repairs. I have tested it and my beaten up K-5 is as good as new (I noticed my firmware reverting back to ver. 1.0 when I got it back; I assumed their testing was calibrated to that version; I have not upgraded it back to the latest or a newer version since--it works). They are 'exchanging' with the Vietnam lens factory so they can eventually also work on lenses. Would I know any inside info? I can but I usually shush the guys up when they offer rumor worthy tidbits that way when captured I cannot divulge anything under torture :) Bong Manayon http://bong.manayon.net On Wednesday, March 5, 2014 8:37 AM, Bill wrote: On 03/03/2014 8:22 PM, Bong Manayon wrote: > Here is a story worth telling: I unsubscribed August/September 2013 > because of email issues and this happened soon after.

Re: K-3 wonkiness
Hi Stan, Looking at various reports I'm pretty sure that the K3 has some way to go before the firmware is as robust as the K5, I've seen multiple reports of the shutter actuation going crazy (not happened to me yet), total system lock-ups when using a battery in the grip and body (I've experienced this first hand) and with your report and my issue with the memory card problem it is difficult to have great trust in the camera. I just bought a large 95MB/s card and I'll see how the camera behaves with that for the moment but I have to keep using it because the poor auto-focus system in the K5 just loses me so many images.

Cameras always know when you are far from home, and do something to mess with your head.

K-3 wonkiness
Not a biggie since i haven't lost anything yet, but this was a bit disturbing... So I carry two K-3's, A and B. A is used more often, it hangs from a wrist strap. B stays in the backpack or sometimes around my neck if I am switching back and forth between wide and long for example. I occasionally chimp, primarily to check the RGB histograms to make sure I haven't inadvertently changed a setting and put myself out of range. Today on my A camera I was noticing a strange color cast on the LCD. After a few more shots I became convinced that something was wonky, switched to the B camera and went on. I just downloaded the shots from camera A via Lightroom. As long as Lightroom was displaying thumbnails based on the in-camera jpg rendering, the color balance was way off still. But once LR rendered previews, built from the RAW data, everything looks just fine. So, the jpg portion of my K-# processor has a random variable color-balance problem, but the basic DNG capture is just fine. To be clear, there is not a consistent color balance bias toward too much green in the jpg's for example. Rather, it is off in a random way for each shot. Since I only shoot DNG and don't capture jpeg's in parallel, the good news here far outweighs the bad. But still unsettling... 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: PESO - Happy Ragnarok!
Obviously not an authentic helmet but great fun nonetheless:) According to Norse mythology, Ragnarok will happen after 3 successive winters without summer in between. Since this was a very harsh winter, the organizers of the Jorvik Viking Festival thought about making a little extra profit. Lots of things supposed to happen, most of the gods killing each other in a big battle, the sun and moon swallowed by wolves. Two people will survive the apocalypse and repopulate the emerging new world.

Smart Objects have been around since CS2. I have CS5 myself -- haven't upgraded to CS6 quite yet (though I'm nervous about waiting too long) -- and use SO's sometimes. Especially for filters like High-pass and Gaussian blur, none of which are adjustment layers. Yeah, I do that with groups too. But I more often use Clipping to add an adjustment layer to just a single layer, the one right below it. -- -bmw -- 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: PESO: Eat More Fruit
Quoting Bob W-PDML : Architecturally it looks to me like a railway station, and lo! Google tells me it is Flinders Street station. Yes it is - and it's certainly still there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders_Street_Station Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ B On 4 Mar 2014, at 03:23, "David Mann" wrote: Here's an old photo from Melbourne.

I suspect it may be a railway or tram station due to some of the other signage. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/780/#peso I've written the sign text underneath the photo as it's hard to make out at that size.
