I store my IR remote in a sandisk card wallet that is secured to one of the 
rings on my Black Rapid strap. Works.

 AFAIK, none of Pentax's DSLRs work with a mechanical release. I think
 the last Pentax film camera that accepted a mechanical release was the
 A3000.

1. The battery grip no longer has a slot to store it in.

Where do you store the intervalometer ?


2. It lacks range when shooting in even moderately bright light.

Looks like the intervalometer also has a short range.

Re: Extremely disappointed: K-1 does not appear to work with ...

The primary reason I did it was similar.  The immediate reason was to 
use my Kilfit shoulder stock with the *ist-D and a telephoto lens, (the 
Vivitar 600mm Solid Cat to be exact), and it would also work with the M 
bellows that I have in storage, that I haven't seen in several years.

Re: Nicole seems to be blocked again


Ok, Larry said there was.

I don't see "mac.com" on any blacklists.

I don't have access to the server logs or anything like that, but I have
a bit of experience with my ISP getting blacklisted by SPAMCop on the
PDML server. That's why I ended up with the Earthlink email address,
'cause Time-Warner & Roadrunner kept being blocked.

I'd guess it's a Ford, probably an early '80s version of their 5-liter

doubt anyone would have discarded it. It's worth a fair amount just as

Re: Can someone explain to me SD card speed ratings?

2016-02-22 Thread David Parsons

The reason you should care is because even when shooting stills, the
camera still has to write data to the card.  If you've ever taken a
couple of pictures quickly and had to wait several seconds to be able
to review the pictures, that's the card holding you back.

And on the off chance that you ever decide to shoot a video, slower
cards will time out faster and the camera is absolutely useless until
the data is cleared out.

 The ratings and classes are so broad that cards with seemingly identical

 I recently added a couple of 32 gig memory cards. 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

 So - the Extreme Pro is actually 2x as fast for what matters (write
 speed). But the ratings looked to be practically identical.

Re: Can someone explain to me SD card speed ratings?

I've had the plastic cases crack, usually in such a was as to cause the

I looked very carefully at the cards after getting burned buying a

MB/S. Reality is a fairly slow 10 MB/S write speed. Not good when 
shooting in HS burst mode on the K3.

Pentax could simply buy the uncoated optics from Samyang, coat and

I wonder how much tooling and bulking up the Limiteds would need to be

That's bloody outrageous.  At the current exchange rate, US$1800 equates
to just over A$2500.  

Just as well I'm not in the market for one.

Everything, in my opinion.  They are the most unreliable gadgets ever
invented, especially when you're working off a tripod while trying to
concentrate on capturing a particular moment and trying to line up the
damn thing with the IR receiver.

The moment you want to capture arrives, you press the button on the
release... press again ...press again... nothing!  You take your eye
away from the viewfinder to concentrate on lining up the remote and
eventually it fires - but the object you want to capture is already in
the next county.

You might have guessed.  I loath the things.

Anyway - most manufactures seem to agree and are building wifi apps that
allow use of a smartphone instead.  Much better!

I thought those had been consigned to history but the new Olympus Pen-F

Because most people aren't willing to spend the extra $5 it costs to

Latest update to Lightroom for Android now includes support for raw

Please check my math regarding lenses

I've been thinking, for low light work, about the Sigma 18-35/1.8 versus 
the Pentax/Tamron 24-70/2.8.


With the crop factor of 1.5x, in their native modes, the two lenses have 
approximately the same angle of view.


My understanding of depth of field is that you get approximately the 
same depth of field at 27 mm at f/2.8 as you do at 18mm at f/2.0.


In other words, to a first order approximation,  with a "one stop larger 
sensor", and stopped down by a stop the 24-70 will have *close* to the 
same angle of view and depth of field as the 18-35.


In order to shoot at the same shutter speed, stopped down by a stop, you 
will need to increase the ISO sensitivity by a stop. When you do this, 
your per pixel noise increases by about a stop (3dB) and your per pixel 
dynamic range decreases by about a stop.  However, you have twice the 
number of pixels (area of silicon) to use, so that when you process your 
photo to the final size, your effective noise and dynamic range will be 
approximately the same.


In short, when the dust settles, and you look at the final images, my 
guess is that the results with the two lenses will be very close, 
despite the Sigma being 1.3 stops faster.


Note, that in about a month, someone could actually put this to the test.

If my hunches are reasonably accurate, then the differences between the 
two come down to second order differences, that the Sigma is 1.3 stops 
(4dB) faster, the Tamron has a 2.5 (about 1.3dB) greater range, size, 
cost and weather sealing.

Re: Extremely disappointed: K-1 does not appear to work with ...

2016-02-22 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi

IR releases are sometimes unpredictable in bright sunlight. RF (WiFi and 
otherwise) releases have more range and are less effected by ambient 
conditions, but do require power. Mechanical cable release can impart a small 
amount of vibration to the camera and can be sticky in operation. 

Most wired remote releases are passive, can be used for long delays without 
incurring battery drain, and transmit minimal to no vibration to the camera.

Re: Can someone explain to me SD card speed ratings?

FWIW, I recently purchased another SanDisk Extreme 32GB to augment an 
exsting card I purchased with my K3. Both are marked HC1. the older card is 
rated 45 MB/s, speed class 1 with the newer card marked 90 MB/s, speed class 
3.


Haven't done any objective tests but I haven't noticed a any significant 
difference in write speedhooting just stills.


BTW - I've used only SanDisk since my *istD and have never been let down.

- Original Message - 
From: "Mark C" 

Subject: Re: Can someone explain to me SD card speed ratings?


My own two cents is that you really have to research the detailed specs on 
the card you want to buy, paying attention to the actual write speed. The 
ratings and classes are so broad that cards with seemingly identical 
ratings can have significantly different performance.


I recently added a couple of 32 gig memory cards. 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.


I looked very carefully at the cards after getting burned buying a couple 
16 gig Sony cards, also rated  HC-1 U3 C10 and listed as 40 MB/S. Reality 
is a fairly slow 10 MB/S write speed. Not good when shooting in HS burst 
mode on the K3.

I went to look at them online and they are variously rated with
Class 10, UHS-1, U1, U3.  80Mb/S max write speed, 10 Mb/S min write speed

Is there a clear concise description of what to look for in an SD card

last month we were in San Diego and Google Maps was in the process of

to the Torrey Pines Glider Port — on the way in, my partner remarked about 
an ugly building; i glanced at it and said i was intrigued, then i saw the

Re: Roadside engine

From what I see it's a Ford small block engine - 289/302 or 351 cubic 
inches. In the 351 version it was commonly called a Windsor to differentiate 
it from the Cleveland version which had significantly different architecture 
than the Windsor - most importantly in the cylinder heads.


I doubt is a performance version.
I would have thought the depositor of the engine would have taken the chain 
with them.

I'd guess it's a Ford, probably an early '80s version of their 5-liter V8. 
The exhaust manifold suggests it was a high performance model, maybe from 
a 5.0 Mustang. Ken Waller can probably say for sure. I doubt anyone would 
have discarded it. It's worth a fair amount just as scrap. Cleaned up and 
rebuilt it could be worth quite a bit.

Cool photos, but brutalist architecture has got to be the ugliest crime

Toronto was in the midst of a huge boom during the late sixties through to the

Re: Roadside engine

2016-02-22 Thread Paul Stenquist

Mopar is the parts and service division of FCA, formerly Chrysler. It has 
become, over the last 60 years or so, an unofficial synonym for the high 
performance cars of Dodge and the long gone Plymouth brand.

The "Mopar" reference made me think of Chrysler, but
I won't challenge your automotive history, Paul.

I'd guess it's a Ford, probably an early '80s version of their 5-liter V8. The

Re: K1 price in Australia

2016-02-22 Thread J.C. O'Connell

The K1 is worth the money, thats not the issue. The issue is I dont have 
an extra $2K lying
around to buy one this month.  Of course, I could sell a few choice 
lenses to buy the body, but
that kinda defeats the system.  I just might have to wait for a price 
break or buy used or go

for a second generation ff body.  More waiting. It sucks to be poor.

Roadside engine

Saw this on the side of the road and couldn't resist spending some time 
taking photos of it. I'm woefully ignorant of American Iron, but I'm 
guessing that it might be MOPAR:

I think it also works in black and white:
