Re: Now why didn't I think of this?
Yeah, the ZX/MZ series supports IR on all cameras IIRC. My ZX-7 surely has an IR sensor. It also has a weird connector for a wired remote that pentax made back in the 90s. I doubt the optio would support a remote though. BTW, John, if you have a whole bag full of Remote Fs, want to sell me a couple for cheap? ;) On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 1:27 AM, P.J.

Re: PESO: Soft
Yes, so do I, but I thought this came out a bit interesting. I was trying to take image of a gardenia flower on my deck with the 35 macro, when I began to wonder exactly how close I could get. I dialed to focus ring all the way to the minimum limit, and moved in as close as I could. When I moved in beyond the ability on the camera and lens to focus, this is what I saw. I thought, well that's different, and pushed the shutter button. I almost threw it in the trash, but I played around with it instead, and came up with this.

Experiments with focusing and noise removal
This is a link to my first set of images doing manual focus after getting the KatzEye split image focusing screen installed. Playing around with camera settings before starting to shoot I accidentally left ISO on 12800, so I had an opportunity to try out suggestions regarding noise reduction made here recently. Luminance is set on 60 and color on 70 for all images. Two images, small yellow daisy-like flowers whose name I do not know and the red gladolious, have the watercolor effect. They were not improved by reducing luminance to 40. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/14265655428/in/set-72157645226985891/ Comments and criticisms welcome. -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net “...we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness... - David Whyte -- 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.

Yes, Bill, you certainly have done a good job. I know how long such projects can take! Hope you don't have termites there. I am in the throes of rebuilding a fitted book-case chowed by termites in my lounge. The buggers get in up the brick wall cavities then find a crack in the plaster.

I can do that. Word of warning though. I haven't seen them for a week or so, so it might take me a while to find them again.

Re: OT: Soldering circuit boards.
How much heat is dependent on the size of the connector. Tin the wire and soldering gun tip. Wrap the wire around or through the connector. Then heat the connector and apply solder. When it flows, pull the gun away. Use only resin core solder.

Re: OT: Soldering circuit boards.
Brings back memories. :-) The temperature depends on the solder you're using. Try to get 63/37 % tin/lead with flux core or they lead-free RoHS equivalent solder. Use a 700F (370C) degree tip or set the controller to that temp. When it's up to speed your solder will melt on the tip instantaneously. Wip off the tip on a wet sponge. Get yourself a hand pumped solder sucker. It will save you tons of hassles. http://www.amazon.ca/Elenco-Solder-Sucker-desoldering-pump/dp/B0002KRAAG Also get small 4 needle nosed pliers. To disconnect the motors, apply the hot tip until you see the solder flow then apply the tip of the primed solder sucker and pop it. That will clean all traces of solder off the motor contact points and let you remove the wire with fine needle nosed pliers. Repeat on all wires. Clean the hot tip often on the wet sponge or a hunk of folded wet paper towel. To reconnect them, attach the wire mechanically if you can (eg loop it around the metal contact with the pliers), then simultaneously apply the solder and the hot tip to the contact where the wire is. Let a tiny amount of solder melt there. You don't want to create a big blob at that point. The solder should lie in a concave shape when you are done. It's best to apply a tiny amount of solder to the end of the hot tip just before applying it to the contacts you are working on as it will then transfer heat faster. I'd practice on some junk wire and an old circuit board or something before you go for the real thing. It takes a little practice to avoid melting too much insulation on the wires. Avoid getting the soldering iron anywhere near adjacent parts or wires. It will melt stuff real fast. Have fun!

I have a variable temperature soldering iron with a very fine tip, see it here: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00C04FADG/ref=shptrk_scth#productDetails Any hints, such as how to do it, do I add solder? Do I tin the wire? How hot, etc. thanks bill -- 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. -- -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: Adafruit display review
Yeah I got one of these some time back. Kind of fun as a third monitor, but Windows 7 has no support for different DPI settings on different monitors, which makes it tricky to reconcile with the 27. I'm not entirely keen to update the desktop to 8.1, which does do that. (though I use that on my laptop). But for a dedicated image display, or whatever, it works quite well. Larry, do you have any trouble with displayport losing connection, or interference lines across the monitor like a bad connection occasionally? I'm not sure that I don't have a fault in mine :-/ - Peter -Original Message- From: Larry Colen Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2014 8:25 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List ; Larry Colen Subject: Adafruit display review 1) It comes as a kit. I suspect that this is an end run around Intel thunderbolt licensing and certification. 2) No instructions in the box. product: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1652 Led to a tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/qualia-high-res-displayport-desktop-monitor Which didn’t say anything particularly useful, but had a very subtle link at the bottom titled Assembly that looks like it’s part of a clip from an apple page. Which links to the actual instructions for assembly. 3) They use flat blade screws. WTF? Why not phillips like every civilized product? They are 4-40 so I could replace them with real screws. The ruler is to tell the different lengths of screws apart. But, the 2-56 screws are phillips, not slotted. —— Overall the assembly went fairly well. The directions were pretty good. I should have read through all of the way before starting. They don’t mention needing both flat and phillips screwdrivers. I think that they’ve substituted steel for nylon screws, which is a good thing. It would be nice if there were an easy to print out version of the instructions. I ran into a couple of issues with the monitor. The first was entirely my fault in that I had USB 2 devices, like keyboard and mouse, plugged into the display, and when I unplugged my thunderbolt display, I lost mouse and keyboard, and couldn’t figure out why. The other problem, which is something that I had forgotten about is that you cannot daisy chain the monitors, so my hopes of having three monitors at home have been dashed. I’ve heard rumors of daisy chaining monitor, drive, monitor working to get multiple monitors, but I don’t have a thunderbolt drive to test with. $ Overall the quality of the display is very nice. It’s definitely smaller than I’d like for doing real work, but it should be enough to do the important work of copying files off my SD card onto a hard drive. One nit of personal preference, is that I’d rather the display bezel were a matte finish rather than glossy. If they ever make this with a 15” display it’d be damn near a must have. We just did a quick test on a macbook pro as a second monitor, and it works just fine, though it’s damn small. I suspect that if I were doing photo editing on a laptop, I’d want it for holding menus and such. -- 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.
