Re: Shake reduction - Doh! (And PESO - heron?)

[Alan C]

They don't look too bad to me, Igor. I wonder if setting the FL would have 
made much difference?


I recently took some shots of a Saddlebill Stork & chick using my HD 55-300 
without & with the 1.7x AF. I set the FL to 500mm. The range is about 80m. 
The shot with the 1.7x is cropped less than the one without & is definitely 
a bit degraded. It makes me wonder if TC's really work.

Scroll L for the 500.

Doh!
https://goo.gl/AeVZis

I keep forgetting that SMC Pentax-F 1.7x AF Adapter is seen as an "A" type
of lens by the camera, and no information about the focal length is
transmitted to the camera.

Since my only "A"-type of lens used (not counting converters) is the
Samyang's 8mm-fisheye, it is what remains set for the focal length for the
shake reduction.
Today, I saw a bird (heron or crane?) in our subdivision (or heron?), and
came to photograph it. I put the 1.7 adapter in front of the 60-250 lens,
but forgot to dial for the SR.

While I had to shoot while holding the camera, I was relying in
part on the SR. The result is underwhelming...
... and now I am recalling that I've head this happening to me about a
year ago.
   Doh!

BTW, maybe the resident experts could tell me if this is a heron (grey
heron?) or something else?


The first photo is ok as it was taken without the adapter:
http://42graphy.org/misc/2016-05-16-Heron/_IR32737.jpg

Here is the best of those taken with the adapter:

Re: PESO Finch

[Paul Stenquist]

With the K-3 I shot at 450mm with the 1.4 x converter, about 630mm, but from 
much further away. The sparrow pic is at 380mm, but as I said, the K-1 pics are 
handheld. Making it all work handheld from a bench near my feeder has been a 
goal. It's more entertaining for me. It's also a bit harder to locate focus on 
the bird's head.

Re: PESO Finch

Paul,

I like both the finch and sparrow pics--both nicely composed and rendered.

Methinks the images aren't quite as sharp as they were with the K-3. It is 
because you're shooting racked out all the way to 450 with the larger sensor, 
where you got away with a shorter FL on the K-3? Some further calibration 
needed? Or do you think I'm "full of it"?

Cheers,

Rick

Both are quite nice, Paul. Pretty amazing both are handheld given the focal 
length. Steady Stenquist is a name so well earned.  Really nice work!

Coincidentally my copy arrived this evening just before supper.

I agree with everyone who has remarked on the presentation being
especially good this year. It looks terrific, with lots of great
photography as always. Well done Mark, Doug, Bill, and all the PDMLers
who contributed!

 The AF indoors with this lens on the K1 was just fine. I didn't try it on 
 any other cameras.
 I'm going to enable you a little bit here. If you use manual focus a lot, 
 the K1 is definitely a much improved camera over the K3 (I can't speak to 
 the K3II). For manual focus, the K1 is definitely in a class of it's own 
 due to the focus assists that are built in.
 
 http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrphoto/pictures/greyhall.html
 
 Another nothing shot, but the AF was in center point, I suspect it focused 
 on the far wall.

 Earlier today, I had a look at this lens on the Pentax web site, and I 
 thought, that’s a lens for me.  Today I shot indoors with the DA 15-45mm & 
 a flash and was so frustrated with the autofocusing.  I’m assuming the 
 15-30mm would be better for indoor autofocusing.  I may try to rent one 
 for a few days to try it out.
 
 The other thing I’m going to do this summer is practice my manual focusing 
 skills.

Nice shots, in particular the group.
Yesterday I also saw a bunch of wild orchids, but only had my Optio W-60

Re: 2016 Annual - mystery message

[Stanley Halpin]

My copy of the PDML 2016 Annual made it through the induction process and was 
delivered today. ’Tis a thing of beauty and a wonder to behold! Thanks Mark and 
also your able helpers. Nice clean layout, excellent images well printed. This 
is a book well worth buying and anyone who hasn’t purchased one yet should 
think about getting two or three extra when they do order. Christmas is only a 
few months away…

You know, I had the talk with my husband last night:

not the one where you casually mention, while he’s reading the paper, how a 
specific piece of kit just came out, and you wax it’s virtues, then casually 
and most strategically dismiss it by saying, “well, maybe down the road”;

nor the one (which comes two weeks later) where you mention how said kit would 
be really great to address some specific shooting situation you plan to 
experience in the near future;

and nor the one where you come home (three weeks later) with said piece of kit 
and you proceed to rationalize your purchase with arguments so persuasive even 
Aristotle would be impressed.

No, not any of those.

The other one, where you begin while cuddled under the blankets after a good 
day of married life, and he’s just about ready to slip off dreaming how lucky 
he is to have a wife who made him his favorite meal and served it with his 
favorite ale—

The one where you begin: “Honey, do you know what a full frame camera is?”

Yes, that one, which is not just about another camera body, but rather about a 
new trajectory in camera equipment enablement.  The one where you do your best 
to load him down with technical explanations so expert you make him dizzy, and 
you do this when his desire for blissful sleep is high, yet because he’s a good 
husband, he’s trying hang on and take an interest. But, of course, he can’t 
hang on any longer as you prattle on, and you hear him slipping into dreamland 
saying, “Sounds like a good plan, dear.  Can’t wait to see the pictures.”

Then the two of you drift off into a very lovely sleep.


Cheers, Christine

Earlier today, I had a look at this lens on the Pentax web site,
and I thought, that’s a lens for me.  Today I shot indoors with
the DA 15-45mm & a flash and was so frustrated with the
autofocusing.  I’m assuming the 15-30mm would be better for
indoor autofocusing.  I may try to rent one for a few days to try
it out.

The other thing I’m going to do this summer is practice my manual
focusing skills.

Cheers, Christine



The AF indoors with this lens on the K1 was just fine. I didn't try
it on any other cameras. I'm going to enable you a little bit here.
If you use manual focus a lot, the K1 is definitely a much improved
camera over the K3 (I can't speak to the K3II). For manual focus,
the K1 is definitely in a class of it's own due to the focus
assists that are built in.

http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrphoto/pictures/greyhall.html

Another nothing shot, but the AF was in center point, I suspect it
focused on the far wall.


You know, I had the talk with my husband last night:

not the one where you casually mention, while he’s reading the paper,
how a specific piece of kit just came out, and you wax it’s virtues,
then casually and most strategically dismiss it by saying, “well,

you plan to experience in the near future;

and nor the one where you come home (three weeks later) with said
piece of kit and you proceed to rationalize your purchase with
arguments so persuasive even Aristotle would be impressed.

No, not any of those.

The other one, where you begin while cuddled under the blankets after
a good day of married life, and he’s just about ready to slip off
dreaming how lucky he is to have a wife who made him his favorite
meal and served it with his favorite ale—

The one where you begin: “Honey, do you know what a full frame camera

Yes, that one, which is not just about another camera body, but
rather about a new trajectory in camera equipment enablement.  The
one where you do your best to load him down with technical
explanations so expert you make him dizzy, and you do this when his
desire for blissful sleep is high, yet because he’s a good husband,
he’s trying hang on and take an interest. But, of course, he can’t
hang on any longer as you prattle on, and you hear him slipping into

If I were going to be transgender, I'd have to become Joan. But I'm not.

Straight, but not narrow, that's me ... "different strokes for different
folks" and all that.

For all the attention North Carolina's HB2 law has gotten for who gets
to use what bathroom, that's not the worst part of the law. There's
other parts of the law that haven't really gotten the attention it
deserves. Like closing off state courts to discrimination complaints
from everyone, regardless of race, creed, gender, sexual orientation,
national origin, age, religious affiliation ... it's Jim Crow on steroids.

There is one other John in my Tuesday night group. No Larrys ... no
Darrel or other brother Darrel. We've got a Donald (went by Don even
before "The Donald" burst upon the scene), two Richards (Rich & Doc); a
Cathy, a Kathy, a Kathryn & a Kathleen.

If any of them is LGBT, I don't know about it and care even less. Not my
bag.

experience in the near future;

and nor the one where you come home (three weeks later) with said piece of kit 
and you proceed to rationalize your purchase with arguments so persuasive even 
Aristotle would be impressed.

No, not any of those.

The other one, where you begin while cuddled under the blankets after a good 
day of married life, and he’s just about ready to slip off dreaming how lucky 
he is to have a wife who made him his favorite meal and served it with his 
favorite ale—

The one where you begin: “Honey, do you know what a full frame camera is?”

Yes, that one, which is not just about another camera body, but rather about a 
new trajectory in camera equipment enablement.  The one where you do your best 
to load him down with technical explanations so expert you make him dizzy, and 
you do this when his desire for blissful sleep is high, yet because he’s a good 
husband, he’s trying hang on and take an interest. But, of course, he can’t 
hang on any longer as you prattle on, and you hear him slipping into dreamland 
saying, “Sounds like a good plan, dear.  Can’t wait to see the pictures.”

Then the two of you drift off into a very lovely sleep.

You know, I had the talk with my husband last night:

not the one where you casually mention, while he’s reading the paper, how a 
specific piece of kit just came out, and you wax it’s virtues, then casually 
and most strategically dismiss it by saying, “well, maybe down the road”;

nor the one (which comes two weeks later) where you mention how said kit would 
be really great to address some specific shooting situation you plan to 
experience in the near future;

and nor the one where you come home (three weeks later) with said piece of kit 
and you proceed to rationalize your purchase with arguments so persuasive even 
Aristotle would be impressed.

No, not any of those.

The other one, where you begin while cuddled under the blankets after a good 
day of married life, and he’s just about ready to slip off dreaming how lucky 
he is to have a wife who made him his favorite meal and served it with his 
favorite ale—

The one where you begin: “Honey, do you know what a full frame camera is?”

Yes, that one, which is not just about another camera body, but rather about a 
new trajectory in camera equipment enablement.  The one where you do your best 
to load him down with technical explanations so expert you make him dizzy, and 
you do this when his desire for blissful sleep is high, yet because he’s a good 
husband, he’s trying hang on and take an interest. But, of course, he can’t 
hang on any longer as you prattle on, and you hear him slipping into dreamland 
saying, “Sounds like a good plan, dear.  Can’t wait to see the pictures.”

Then the two of you drift off into a very lovely sleep.


Cheers, Christine

Very pretty I like the look of the K1 & 24-70 in this photo. Crisp in

PESO 2016 - 090 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Finally had a few moments on Sunday to take my new camera out of the box, 
charge it up, and snap a couple of test shots with it. First posted shot: 

  https://flic.kr/p/Gi947X

The camera is the brand-new Impossible Project I-1, the first all-NEW instant 
film camera using the classic Polaroid SX-70 film format in over 20 years. The 
film used for this was Impossible's 600 Color v3, an outdated pack of beta 
release 1 from last April that was lying about waiting to be used up. The 
results with this awesome little camera are amazingly good considering the 
outdated, pre-release film … Can't wait to see how it does with some final 
quality, fresh film! 

The camera has a well-thought-out design and is very innovative. It's going to 
be lots of fun to make photos with! 
I am happy… :-)

enjoy,
G

The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

2. On tripod, Liveview with focus peaking, no problem. Through the viewfinder, 
the in-focus indicator seems accurate.

3. With the A-200/4 paired with the F-1.7x I got major purple fringing. With 
the A-50/2.8 macro I have seen no issue, hadn’t even thought about it.

4. Not.

5. Yes.

Re: Couple of questions about the K-1

[Paul Stenquist]

The viewfinder is noticeably bigger than the APSc cameras but not as big as the 
LX.

I find it easy to focus the A50 1.2. Haven't tried my other lenses yet. The 
in-focus indicator light seems very accurate. It's activated with the shutter 
held halfway down. It may be as accurate as autofocus.

Here's a full-res shot with the A50 1.2. It's at 5.6 and meant to be a test of 
the camera rather than the wide open capability of the lens. 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ilwl5k8uoc4s63/0637.hr.jpg?dl=0

The camera has a hot shoe and it worked very well with my 540 flash this 
weekend.

Couple of questions about the K-1

re: K-1

1. Is the view thru the viewfinder noticably bigger than the apsc cameras?

2. Is it easy to focus manual focus lenses with f2.8 or faster speed?

3. Have you shot with any of the classic manual focus Pentax lenses
