Re: PESO: Lisianthus
thanks to all who commented. Bulent - I agree a little more on top would have been good. Content aware fill in Photoshop might fix that! The background is uniform-enough for that I think. Amazing what a 30+ year old lens (A*200/2.8) can do - Ken Rockwell will never appreciate that I guess!

Re: K1 price in Australia
The K1 is still slightly cheaper than the presumably equivalent Nikon D810 in Australia, but it is still a big investment. Especially when I have two perfectly good DSLRs, a K10D and a K5. The limiting factor with these is my ability not the smaller sensor.

Re: Friday For Sale/Give Away and Pulling the plug
Thank you for understanding, John. I am now actually a bit on a fence... I've realized that Sony A7 (whatever variety), being a FF camera will necessarily mean that quality lenses will be big, especially zooms. Also, the reviews on that Vario Tessar are extremely mixed and I don't want to buy into a system with non-OEM lens from the start. So, I am leaning towards Olympus OMD EM-1 and their Pro 12-40/2.8 zoom. I think that it should cover 90% of my needs. It is however small and light indeed, compared to most APS-C or FF cameras. The reviews have been for most part very good. As well, on my way I've stumbled upon Ming Thein site - very interesting. And Steve Huff's site is also very pleasant to read. Subscribed to both. I think that I will keep the list post of my oncoming gear adventures. At worst it may give you a chuckle. At best we can even have some discussion about it, though I certainly realized that K-1 preoccupies, occupies and also postoccupies the minds :-).

I have had the most unfortunate acquisition so far. I bought DA* 16-50 off PentaxForums. The seller indicated that the SDM motor did not work and that the lens was converted to screw-driven AF. Upon arrival, it appeared that the lens does not rotate past approximately 0.7 m mark on focus scale. I took it to Pentax Israel and USD 375 later I have a lens that kind of focuses somewhere. However, the focusing range is now fully accessible, so to say. So I took it for a walk. It seems that it also has optical problems that I cannot quite describe. But ultimately, it is not sharp except maybe at portrait distances in the middle of the frame. I am giving this lens away to any one who wants to take it apart or who needs some spare parts - mount, SDM motor parts, whatever. If you feel like paying me any money for it, it would be very generous on your part. I'll ship it cheaply with registered air mail, of course, not with expensive EMS. Now, that I have paid money and visit to Pentax Israel, it is clear to me that I cannot have Pentax as my primary gear because I cannot reliably repair it even with rather expensive service that I have here. Finally, you know, I also have felt real pain in my wrists today during this 2 hours photo walk that I had. So, upgrade to K-3 or K-1 is out of the question. I will be buying one of Sony A7 series cameras (I have yet to decide which one) and that 24-70/4 Vario Tessar lens for starters. Then I'd buy some adapters to use my K-mount 50/1.2, 77/1.8 and Leica mount 35/2.0 and 25/2.8. This should in fact be quite enough for most of my needs. Ricoh GXR will come in very handy as well. So, in the very near future I will be offering for sale moderately used K-5 with original grip, spare battery and magnifying eye piece. Sigma 24-60/2.8 full frame lens which is very good optic except typical Sigma color balance. Also I will be offering Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (screw driven version) and Metz 50 AF-1 flash unit. As well, assortment of filters, Pentax lens pouches and so on. Please contact me off the list. Of course, I will have to get new gear before I send out my old gear, so I can have continuity of my favorite hobby.

mile and not really get up to damaging speeds; there are other sources of
shock, such as hammer blows and explosions, so i think it would be smarter
for the marketers to use the hedge term ("shock resistant")

Re: Can someone explain to me SD card speed ratings?
I care because I do stacked macros in the field, which involves taking several images while shifting the focal point. I usually don't exceed the buffer limit for one sequence, but a fast card helps in two ways. First, I usually wait for the buffer write to the card before starting a new sequence. With a slow card that can feel like an eternity, especially if the subject is transient (bug likely to fly away) and I want a second run at it. Second - in those cases where I do exceed the buffer limit a fast card is still workable, while a slow card is not. It's less of an issue with stationary subjects but still results in spending a lot of time waiting for the red card access light to go off. Slow cards are no problem in most situations were getting a lot of shots in sequence is not a priority. I pulled my slowest cards out of my bag and use them for studio stacked macros since that is a slow process process and the slowest card can keep up. But if you are shooting a lot of images in a fast pace, card speed matters. Actually - write speed matters. AFAIK, the only drawback to read speed is slower downloads to your PC, and that I can live with.

Really, I don’t know why I should care. I have reluctantly assumed that all this kerfluffel about video speed in fact relates in a somewhat linear fashion to what I do care about which is how fast still images move from the internal camera buffer to the SD card in the slot. But I have also assumed that the buffer-to-card process has a lot to do with the camera’s firmware and maybe not so much to do with any limitations of the card.

I compared San Disk Extreme Pro and San Disk Extreme. Both are USH-1. Both are marked "HC-1 U3 C10." The Pro is marked "95 MB/S" and the Extreme is marked as "90 MB/S." It seemed like their specs were very close - but then looking at max write speed I saw that the Pro is rated for 90 MB/S while the Extreme is rated for only 40. The rate stamped on the cards themselves is the read speed. So - the Extreme Pro is actually 2x as fast for what matters (write speed). But the ratings looked to be practically identical.

K-5ii vs K-3 focus comparisons
Yesterday I was shooting with the 16-50 on the K-3 and my tamron 28-75 on the K-5. When shooting action in front of bushes, the K-5 seemed to have a much easier time focusing on the people than did the K-3. I eventually swapped lenses and put the 16-50 on the K-5ii. At various times I tried both select 1 point and select 9 on the K-3 and don't seem to remember that making much difference. I am curious what sort of "real world" difference in focus performance people have found between different cameras they use regularly. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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: Can someone explain to me SD card speed ratings?
From the helpful link Cotty provided and discussion here and other reading, I have concluded: a. Higher numbers are “better” for values of better ranging from -50mbs to +50mbs, more or less. b. The main concern is with read or write speed when streaming video. c. I don’t know why I should care. Really, I don’t know why I should care. I have reluctantly assumed that all this kerfluffel about video speed in fact relates in a somewhat linear fashion to what I do care about which is how fast still images move from the internal camera buffer to the SD card in the slot. But I have also assumed that the buffer-to-card process has a lot to do with the camera’s firmware and maybe not so much to do with any limitations of the card. Is there anything anyplace that tells us what the minimum necessary “speed rating” for SD is for a given camera? Specifically, newer large-datafile cameras like the K-5, K-5ii, K-3, K-3ii, K-1, 645D, 645Z shooting still images and not movies… > On Feb 21, 2016, at 7:45 PM, Mark C wrote: > > I didn't know about the extreme plus.

Sony versus Pentax informal comparison
I photographed a friend's music video shoot yesterday. Afterwards, one of the videographers and I got to geeking out on comparing camera's and such, walked into the driveway and aimed our cameras at the house across the street. All of the photos are hand held, at f/2.8, ISO varies between 16,000 and 20,000 shutter speed between .25 and .33 Seconds. Photos that were obviously bad were discarded from the test. The first six frames (with DSC in the names) were shot with a Sony mirrorless full frame alpha7S-II. Google tells me the body sells for around $2800. The next six frames (LRC26...) were shot with my Pentax K-3, APS DSLR, you can pick up the body new for about $650 The last five frames (LRC56...) were shot with my Pentax K-5ii APS DSLR, which you can still find new for about $550 The full resolution photos are posted at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157664757248072 In theory, you will eventually be able to see them with exif data at: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157664757248072 In the meantime, this may be an easier way to see them all: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157664757248072/ Unfortunately, I didn't notice that the K-5 was focusing on the truck, rather than the house. Joe, however was blown away that my Pentaxes would autofocus in that light. Note that after posting them, I noticed that they weren't processed quite the same, so I'm re-uploading the Pentax photos, processed a little brighter. I also did not apply lightroom noise reduction to them. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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: Photo Processing On An Older Laptop
What I noticed is that it would partially install updates that which would need a reboot to complete, try and fail to install any subsequent update that was dependent on the pending ones, then reboot and start the process over again. Ultimately it managed to get things sorted out though. The original install always shut off the USB ports when updates were downloaded and pending installation. Thankfully that behavior is now gone. It was damn annoying but I assumed it was intentional.

It has literally spent days downloading and applying updates and I'm still not sure it is done - it will report "no new updates" and then an hour later ask to install the 32 updates it just downloaded... Vista made a list somewhere of all the updates that were available at the time you began installing updates. You can have hundreds of updates you still need to install, but Micro$oft hasn't released any new ones that weren't previously on Vista's Windoze Update list. Also, my experience with Vista is that it chokes when you let it try to install too many updates at once. It will download 32 updates, but 30 of the installations will fail. Seems like maybe because the 3rd update it tries to install needs something from the 20th update on the list, and once the 3rd craps out none of the others is going to install. I ended up having to go to "select which updates to install", sorting the list by date and only installing the oldest ones.

Ann lovely mood. I feel it would be a stronger composition if you cropped some from the left - the hat and coat? and a little more.

It has literally spent days downloading and applying updates and I'm still not sure it is done - it will report "no new updates" and then an hour later ask to install the 32 updates it just downloaded... Vista made a list somewhere of all the updates that were available at the time you began installing updates. You can have hundreds of updates you still need to install, but Micro$oft hasn't released any new ones that weren't previously on Vista's Windoze Update list. Also, my experience with Vista is that it chokes when you let it try to install too many updates at once. It will download 32 updates, but 30 of the installations will fail. Seems like maybe because the 3rd update it tries to install needs something from the 20th update on the list, and once the 3rd craps out none of the others is going to install. I ended up having to go to "select which updates to install", sorting the list by date and only installing the oldest ones.
