OT - No Bees

[Mark C]

I have a tradition of taking a macro shot of honey bees in crocus 
flowers, usually in March or early April. It's spring training for a new 
bug photography season...


The crocuses in my yard are almost gone - and I have yet to see a single 
Apis Mellifera. Bee populations are being decimated due to a several 
causes - but it may be that this harsh winter was the final blow for the 
locals. It's a troubling development.

That's entertaining and a great concept - I wish there were more useful 
applications of this type of technology. "Why I missed the meeting" 
statement generator, "photo forum image critique" generator, 
"ennoblement explanation generator" - the list goes on. ...

Re: 645Z specs

[Brian Walters]

Quoting Paul Stenquist :

51 megapixel 43.8 x 32.8 sensor. ISO to 204,800, and it?s a bit  
smaller than a Nikon D4. Why would anyone want a 24 x 36 Pentax?



Well, I don't, but price is one reason that people still want one.

Re: 645Z specs

[Mark C]

This does seem like a very impressive tool. Earlier today I stumbled 
upon the announcement that the full line of 645 FA lenses are also now 
being sold in the US - taking the number of new 645 AF lenses sold in 
the US from 3 to 16.


http://www.pentaxforums.com/news/fa-series-645-lenses-to-be-sold-in-the-us.html

There was a long period of inaction after Ricoh acquired Pentax that was 
daunting - but in the past year they have made huge strides in restoring 
the Pentax brand.

I don't know how many of you have run across this already, but I think
this K-3 AF feature I discovered by accident is rather spiffing.

You know how, when selecting AF points, you can choose between the
whole enchilada, or a restricted cluster of 9, or a single point?
Okay, you knew that, but let's say you select the small cluster of
nine.

Now, did you know that you can move the center of the 9-cluster
around? If you push the 4-way arrows you can shift the cluster up to
the top where -- heavens to goodness! -- it is gathered around the
area of a portrait subject's face when you are holding the camera
vertically. Major win!


Oh gosh. Nice.


Now you can have the best of both worlds: manual selection of AF
points and auto-select of AF point; in this case within a smaller
area.

I guess I would have stumbled on this eventually by reading the
manual, but so far its spine remains uncracked.

Happy focussing!

They put sales on quite often that put the stuff into OK territory. MY 
X-Pro1 came with a "free" 35/1.4, the X-T1 came with a "free" battery 
grip. and the 14, 23 and 60 all had significant sale price adjustments. 
The 56 was full price $$, so one needs to decide if it's worth it, or 
just go for the much less expensive 60mm, which is a fine lens, just slower.
The Fuji bodies and lenses all say Made in Japan on them as well. I 
wonder if that is causing some premium pricing.

It sure IS nice. I'm in enablement pig heaven right now. I bought the 
X-Pro1 and 35/1.4 last year so as to have a faster standard prime, but 
still a camera I could mount Pentax glass onto. Last month I picked up 
an X-T1 and 23/1.4, a week after that the 60.2.4 and a week after that, 
the 56/1.2. I chose a Domke F6, but don't have it yet.
It's a nice system, and if you are someone who wants to use pre A series 
lenses, the X-T1 is better than Pentax bodies with the older lenses. The 
EVF takes some getting used to. I sort of like it, sort of don't. It 
seems really dim in the daylight, but really bright in dimmer light.
It is a battery hog. It is a camera that forces the user to buy third 
party batteries.

That's probably not really comparable to the Sigma, but the Pentax DA*

the Sigma too.

Yeah, it is tight. All I really wanted to show was the 12's.

to photographing it later.

Kewl K-3 AF feature

[Bruce Walker]

I don't know how many of you have run across this already, but I think
this K-3 AF feature I discovered by accident is rather spiffing.

You know how, when selecting AF points, you can choose between the
whole enchilada, or a restricted cluster of 9, or a single point?
Okay, you knew that, but let's say you select the small cluster of
nine.

Now, did you know that you can move the center of the 9-cluster
around? If you push the 4-way arrows you can shift the cluster up to
the top where -- heavens to goodness! -- it is gathered around the
area of a portrait subject's face when you are holding the camera
vertically. Major win!

Now you can have the best of both worlds: manual selection of AF
points and auto-select of AF point; in this case within a smaller
area.

I guess I would have stumbled on this eventually by reading the
manual, but so far its spine remains uncracked.

Happy focussing!

Re: New to me - Fuji X-A1 mirrorless camera.

[Tim Bray]

The Fujis are IMHO overpriced.  But at the moment that’s what you pay
for quality as good as any APC-C camera in the world, only half the
size/weight.

In the mirrorless space right at the moment, the Fuji claim to fame is
better ergonomics and wonderful lenses, especially the primes. Reminds
me of some other camera company...

So I set up an account on gmail and linked it to PDML.

I'm receiving messages, but when I tried to send a few last week they
didn't go through. Turns out the "plain text" option in the web
version is cunningly hidden.  Let's see if this one goes though.

Meanwhile, I can't get Apple Mail (version 4.6, the one that comes

Preferences>Accounts, the only one listed is gmail, but the gmail
isn't coming in.  Yes, I've gone through the online instructions, 3

Recovery of corrupted SD card

[Darren Addy]

When Ann had her little problem back in December, our own Alban
Bernard (or is it Bernard Alban?) suggested a couple of tools, one of
them being PhotoRec. That didn't really register on me at the time,
and there was no further discussion of it.

However, a recent PetaPixel post is intriguingly entitled "How I Lost
Over a Hundred Photographs to a Corrupted Memory Card, And Got Them
Back" and in that story, the hero is PhotoRec. The beauty of PhotoRec
is that is works cross-platform, so it should be a tool in your
toolbox regardless of whether you are Mac, PC, or Linux.

PetaPixel post:
http://petapixel.com/2014/04/10/lost-hundred-pics-corrupted-memory-card-got-back/

PhotoRec download page: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
PhotoRec step-by-step: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step

Just thought it might bear another look. Shoot digital long enough and
chances are good that you will need it.

FS & of Interest

[Collin Brendemuehl]

There are some Pentax goodies available locally.
#1 If anyone is looking to upgrade to a K7, there is one here that I can get
to you for $350, and that includes the 18-55WR!
But alas it is without the battery charger.
#2 FA50/1.4 -- for a very modest $225.

And of interest, I was chatting with the Zeiss rep today.  
They are making no more Pentax mount lenses.
What is out there is all that there will be.
So if you want one better jump on it.

Re: New to me - Fuji X-A1 mirrorless camera

[Tim Bray]

I got my new X-T1 yesterday. First fruits:
https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2014/04/11/Vancouver-Camera-Spring

Same image quality as X-E1, but faster and more convenient, and a
mind-blowing EVF.

It looked like it was going to take a long time to get an X-T1 so I
yanked the X-E1 off the market, the person who offered for it gets
first crack it it, if they don’t want it it’ll be for sale here again.

No, I was apologizing for the flurry of test posts.

I was on the phone with them for 4 hours. They kept trying to fob me off

having any problems with the SMTP server.

The woman looks exhausted, perhaps from lacing up those boots. Did your camera

Anyway, a new set of SR44s seems to have it working correctly.
