Re: Get with the times (FF DSLR, etc)

2014-09-19 Thread Alan C
These have been most fascinating threads showing much emotion. But the world 
moves on  clearly from a business perspective it makes no sense to look 
back. The K1000D is but a pipedream. If people really want to use pre-A 
lenses, they can easily work in M mode and use Sunny 16 like we all did long 
ago ( waste no film). A lenses are no problem besides being MF. The 
fusspots can always post-edit the EXIF. Does anyone really need or use an 
aperture ring any more? (PJ's intelligent adaptors could be made by a 
third party! Old Pentax lenses with adaptors are widely used on Can*ns with 
great success).  And I agree - get the cameras in the shops - it's almost 
Christmas.

Ricoh is not going to bring back the aperture simulator. Give it up
and stop whining about it already!

Supporting old lenses is not good for business, no matter how many old
farts like JCO try to insist otherwise. Ricoh is in the business of
selling cameras and NEW lenses, and their profits lie mostly in the
latter. You should be appreciative of what support they've given and
move on with your life. This is as good as it's going to get.

Bullshit whining like this is why I'm a lurker here, rather than an
active member like I was years ago. Cranky old farts complaining about
new technology does not make for a fun environment for discussion.

Re: FF daydreaming

2014-09-19 Thread Brian Walters

Quoting P.J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com:

Sadly I agree with Cotty, the FF camera will be Ricoh branded,  
mirrorless with a newly developed lens mount similar to and  
electrically compatible with the KFA mount, and an adapter that will  
allow all K mount lenses to be used at the proper register distance.  
The adapter will come in two versions, an auto focus adapter module  
with a motor to drive screw driven lenses, and one that simply  
passes through power for lenses with built in motors.  Both adapters  
will have also have provision to actuate the the stopdown lever in K  
mount lenses, of all vintages as the new camera will have only  
electrical contacts to control those motors in the new R mount  
lenses.  For purest it will include an aperture simulator that will  
translate the f stop of the adapted lens to electrical data for the  
camera's metering system.



Well now, if they'd adopted a strategy like that for the K-01, we  
might have seen the concept continued instead of leading to a dead  
end.  I might have even owned a subsequent model (one with a  
viewfinder) instead of the OMD I just bought.

But remember the K-01 was developed under Hoya, and was the cheapest way 
to achieve a mirrorless camera possible, which was to take a K-r lop off 
the prism, replace the mirror box with a plain box and put redesigned 
plastic body panels on the existing stainless steel frame.  There were a 
number of ways that Hoya could have gone with the K-01 concept and 
except for the expensive industrial/fashion designer, Hoya always 
followed the cheapest path.  There were firmware changers necessary, but 
the important ones had mainly to do with removing code not adding it.

I'm pretty sure that was an urban legend (or as best, an unwarranted
fear voiced at the time). There were a lot of similar myths in
circulation when the EU started to campaign for more conformity
between member nations. There was one totally false rumour that
computer keyboards in Spain would no longer be allowed to have a tilde
key. CE standards do apply to how accurate you are about selling a
pint, but don't affect what unit of measure you use. British road

 computer keyboards in Spain would no longer be allowed to have a tilde

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.

2014-09-19 Thread Paul Stenquist
If you read the article you’ll see that Pentax only confirmed that they’re 
working on a 24 x 36 camera. Of course they are. They didn’t say they were 
going to offer it for sale. Another scribe who attended the same interview 
reported on Pentax Forum that release would depend on market conditions. I hope 
they do market the camera, and I will probably buy one although I don’t really 
need it. New toys are always fun, but I won’t lose any sleep over it.

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.

2014-09-19 Thread P.J. Alling
I don't know how much credence you can put in journalistic endeavors 
that get basic facts wrong. I guess we can believe what they wrote, even 
though this won't be Pentax's first full frame DSLR, the late lamented 
and almost forgotten, or so it seems MR-52, a FF 6mp, often refereed to 
as the MZ-D and at least once re-branded as the K-1, was probably mere 
months from a formal announcement and full production.  It was probably 
scuttled by three things, 1 and 2 Canon and Kodak both announced at 
Photokina that year, 11mp and 14mp full frame DSLRs, that would have 
sold for less than Pentax could probably produce, let alone sell the 
camera for, and 2 the Philips CCD the camera was to built around was 
problematic at best, which probably killed Contax/Yashica, when they 
decided to go forward with production.


There were supposed to be at least 6 hand built prototypes that were in 
circulation for testing and maybe more that never made it out of a 
Pentax facility.  If the cameras never made it out a R*D lab, I couldn't 
count them, but this almost made it into the wild.

if you are getting that message in a simple Finder operation, your disk may

OT? Photo essay about framebuilding

2014-09-19 Thread Bob W-PDML
Here's an interesting essay about framebuilder J P Weigle. 

http://www.core77.com/blog/exhibitions/bike_cult_show_2014_jp_weigle_reflects_on_40_years_of_framebuilding_-_a_photo_essay_27485.asp

Like several other well-known framebuilders he spent some time at Witcomb 
Cycles, which was a ramshackle place about 2 miles from where I live. When I 
was first thinking about having a made-to-measure bike Witcomb's was one of the 
places I spent time talking to him. The shop still looked exactly as it does in 
that photo - it was a wonderful place. I eventually decided on Roberts, and 
shortly afterwards Witcomb's moved to Wales and disappeared.

Pentax has definitely failed to promote the Green button. To me it's
just a Mystery Button that I could just as easily cover over with
black electrical tape.

After it got talked about here a few years ago, I made the effort to
read up on it. The manual left me scratching my head, but folks here
insisted it was awesome. I think the issue with the manual is there's
no overview or Big Picture -- why it was added.

When I tried it out, no matter what I did with it it just seemed to
produce random and inscrutable results -- incorrect exposures -- with
no apparent benefit to me.

I think of it as the Do Not Press Me Ever button. It just presents one
more opportunity for me to fsck up the settings if I fumble-finger it.

The green button is a mystery because it does so many different things.  
In manual mode it recenters everything press the green button while 
holding down the exposure compensation button it resets that control to 
zero, it does that with a number of setting, press it down while holding 
down the ISO button and it, hell it sets the camera to auto ISO in the 
K-5 cameras, I don't remember what it does on the K20D but then ISO is 
hidden in the OK button, and I never tried it, on *ist series cameras 
well the *ist-D it does nothing.  In
hyper program it resets the camera to program mode using the set program 
line, which it's done from the beginning, in hyper manual it sets the 
program mode exposure for what you're pointing at. Using a K M lens it 
sets the proper shutter speed, but I wouldn't trust that setting if 
you've picked a f stop over f8, probably not over f5.6.


The KxxD cameras added a bunch of functions over the earlier ist-d and 
theh K-5 cameras added even more functions, which may or may not be

After it got talked about here a few years ago, I made the effort to
read up on it. The manual left me scratching my head, but folks here
insisted it was awesome. I think the issue with the manual is there's
no overview or Big Picture -- why it was added.

When I tried it out, no matter what I did with it it just seemed to
produce random and inscrutable results -- incorrect exposures -- with
no apparent benefit to me.

I think of it as the Do Not Press Me Ever button. It just presents one
more opportunity for me to fsck up the settings if I fumble-finger it.

Pentax has actually given us a lot more than that. Most everyone knows
that the Green Button can be set to give you the Program exposure
setting while in Manual. But a lot of people still don't know about
Hyper Manual. Hit the AE/L button after the green button and now you
can change BOTH the aperture and shutter speed (together with only ONE

In the K-3 manual, see page 11 and page 73, primarily focused on the choices 
and processes involved in customizing the various buttons and E-dials.
Not exactly an explanation of when/why to use the Green Button, but of course 
you get that in your initial familiarization from the clerk at the store where 
you buy the camera...

When Pentax talks about market conditions I think they mean that we

has made now that look like yesterday's news.

Is there any program that will let me flip .DNG images horizontally and

files and FastStone Image Viewer appears to only allow me to do it if I 
save them as JPEGs. Irfanview says I can save it as a RAW file, but when 
I tried that I haven't been able to find the file.


Am I going to have to scan the whole batch again?

By the time it actually shows up at my local pusher I might be able to

FA43/1.9 Limited, FA77/1.8 Limited and A100/2.8 Macro, along with a 
Tokina ATX-Pro 80-200/2.8.


Maybe if things work out I'll have the Tokina ATX-Pro 28-70/2.8 repaired 
 working again.


All of them are 'A' lenses with the aperture ring, so I'm good to go 
whether it has the aperture simulator or not.

Is there any program that will let me flip .DNG images horizontally and KEEP

FastStone Image Viewer appears to only allow me to do it if I save them as

haven't been able to find the file.

Am I going to have to scan the whole batch again?

Re: Flipping a DNG file horizontally?

2014-09-19 Thread John
I don't want to render them. I may want to render them in the future, 
but for now, I just want to flip them so that they're the right way 
round, so that I don't have to worry whether I'll remember it later.


If there's no way to keep them as .DNG files, I'll just have to scan 
them again and get them the right way around this time.

PhotoShop will let you save them as jpg, tiff, PSD and a number of other 
formats. Why would you want to save them as DNG once they’ve been rendered? The 
only advantage I’ve seen with DNG is that I can tweak the files in ACR before 
fine tuning them in PhotoShop.

Send me a K-3 and I'll put as many up there as you like :)

 Here's an interesting essay about framebuilder J P Weigle.

 Like several other well-known framebuilders he spent some time at Witcomb 
 Cycles, which was a ramshackle place about 2 miles from where I live. When I 
 was first thinking about having a made-to-measure bike Witcomb's was one of 
 the places I spent time talking to him. The shop still looked exactly as it 
 does in that photo - it was a wonderful place. I eventually decided on 
 Roberts, and shortly afterwards Witcomb's moved to Wales and disappeared.

Hi Everyone:

Had to run an errand downtown today and thought I’d head over to the Michigan 
Ave. Apple store to get some snaps of the long lines.  Gorgeous day 
today--weather really nice.  We hear a bad storm is headed our way late 
tomorrow though.
