Yes ;) Not to mention the crowd and noise.

The installation is called Stellar by Richard Wright who handpainted
47,000 Stars on this ceiling:

If the rain is frontal, you cannot turn your back on it.

PS. In Central Texas, we had our cold front in the past two days in a
rather weird way (anti-correlated with the night/day time):
At 6am on Monday, the temperature was about 73 F (23 C), but at noon

Re: Looking for Jupiter-9 85mm F/2.0 in M42 mount

2014-04-17 Thread Darren Addy
This is not a difficult lens to find on the usual auction sites, and
is still a relative bargain compared to the f1.8/f1.9 Takumars and
later Pentax models - as well as the original Zeiss Sonnars (East 
West German) that it was cloned from.

The problem is often  finding a good one with no issues. In that
respect, I would almost feel MORE secure buying from the original
country (eBay has them offered from Belarus and Latvia, among other
countries in that part of the world). Of course, that is no guarantee
of one with no issues either, and you do have to pay more shipping
than finding something closer to home. (And if a return IS
necessary...)

OT--Lightroom 5 mobile app and syncing with desktop app

2014-04-17 Thread Christine Aguila
Hi Team:

Just downloaded the recent Lightroom 5 app, which now allows me to sync with 
the iPad Lightroom Mobile app, which I haven’t downloaded on the tablet.  Just 
wondered if anyone has tried this new mobile version.  If so, care to share 
your thoughts?

I am aware that you have to subscribe to the Creative Cloud and of the cost 
involved, but there is a 30 day free trial offer, which might be fun to try.  
Also, as a key FYI, what syncs are photo collections, not entire photo 
libraries, which is a smart approach I think.

Anyway, interested in your thoughts.

Cheers, Christine

FSF: Fuji X-E1, Sony RX100-2, K20D, FA 28-70

2014-04-17 Thread Tim Bray
Almost a repeat from 2 weeks ago, when only the excellent  Sigma 30mm
F1.4 went; one last chance (with a new camera) before I hit
PentaxForums  other online venues.

Payment by Paypal or in Bitcoin (seriously).

1. Sony RX100 ii
STORY: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2013/09/02/Sony-RX100-II
- David Pogue sez it’s the best pocket cam ever:
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/sensor-innovations-from-sony-ushering-in-a-golden-age-74229401513.html
WHY? I don’t like the ergonomics, and my Nexus 5 meets my pocket-cam
needs, also the Fuji gets carried more than the Pentax SLRs did, due
to being lighter.
COMES WITH: Charger, that’s it; I don’t have the original packing
CONDITION: Very lightly used.
$$$: US$450 + shipping

2. Fujifilm X-E1 (black on black, no silver, looks like a rangefinder)
 with Soviet Helios 58mm.
STORY: You’ve probably seen the hype on the Fujifilm X-cams. My love
letter’s at http://goo.gl/WvenmD - also the photos I took in March of
2013, of Tokyo and The Big Island, are mostly this camera:
http://goo.gl/D78m0Q
WHY? I got this year’s model, the X-T1.
COMES WITH: Original box, charger, USB cable, etc. I only have two
Fujinon lenses and I love both, you can’t have ’em. You can buy a
K-adapter and put your Pentax glass on, it works fine albeit manual.
But so you don’t start naked, I’ll toss in a Soviet-made “He­lios
44-2” 58mm F/2.0, which I bought (disclosure: CHEAP) because it’s
supposed to have stars in its bokeh. I never got the stars, but the
lens can do good things, for example http://goo.gl/yP32iv which also
has an adorable pic of the camera with Soviet lens installed (but you
don’t get the Luma Cinch, just the stock Fuji strap).
CONDITION: Recent shots at http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/What/Arts/Photos/
$$$: US$375 + shipping

3. K20D.
STORY: My backup when the K-5 was my everyday camera.
COMES WITH: Nothin’, just the basic body/charger/strap.  But, nicely
packed up for shipping, with manuals  so on, in a K-5 box, which fits
it perfectly.
CONDITION: Has always worked fine but I haven’t used it much since 2011.
$$$: US$175 + shipping (They seem to be selling for more than that on
EBay, which seems crazy).

4. FA 28-70mm F4 AL.
STORY: I’d forgotten I had this until I went poking around in the
cupboard for the K20.  This lens was one of the reasons I got into
Pentax digital, my wife  I had both shot Pentax film before we met,
and thus had film-era lenses sitting around.   (The other is a 50mm F2
but you can’t have it.) This is from the early 90s I think. I used it
a lot on the *ist D, here are a few pix: http://goo.gl/S2UzuW
http://goo.gl/A1CKWp http://goo.gl/Vnwvhh
WHY? For the K-5 I have the 50-135 and for the Fuji I have the 18-55.
CONDITION: Looks fine.  Stuck it on the K-5 today and it auto-focused.
COMES WITH: Front  back caps and a Hoya Skylight (1B) filter.  I
don’t have a case, you’ll get it in a shipping box with bubble wrap.
$$$: US$75 + shipping.

Re: PESO: That lonely feeling

2014-04-17 Thread Mark C
Nice find and very interesting. Fascinating to imagine the residents 
sitting on that couch  with a fire in the stove (which is of course 
gone) - looks liek the ceiling was pretty high in there which gives it a 
really interesting feel, architecturally.  That little bit of HDR that 
you used in the exterior shot works well, IMO and I like the great 
colors in the first shot. The bones of a place that was once alive - the 
colors scream that it was once alive. If it was drab BW it would just 
be yet another ruin porn shot. (Nothing against BW - just hung up 3 
rolls to dry - but the color and HDR works here.)


The second shot doesn't do much for me - kinda confusing, might work 
better if it was larger though.

Thanks Mark and my my so you don't appreciate good black and white porn? 
I am not sure if the place was rewired or not but I had this feeling 
that it hadn't and I am surprised it never caught fire. Not sure how 
long it had been before the fireplace was ever used.


Perhaps causing you confusion is a good thing on the second shot as that 
is what I felt while in that room.

FS: Brand New - Never used 50mm f1.8 DA lens

2014-04-17 Thread Ken Waller

A good walk around lens, compact and relatively fast.

I got this lens as part of a package with my K3 and have no use for it so 
out it goes.


SMC Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 new in box. Box never opened.

$135 USD. Buyer pays shipping.

K-3 moire

2014-04-17 Thread Bong Manayon
The local Pentax dealer lent me a K-3 with the challenge to trip it up to 
produce moire; been behind on the AA/moire issue since I have not rush to 
getting a K-3 for myself soon (and I skipped the 5IIs). Any random thoughts on 
this?
