It's actually an American test but we can forgive a few spelling mistakes...

I'm not sure that some of the options are the best syn/antonyms to offer and
I've no idea what the scoring system is but it's reasonable fun.

Re: OT English test

[Bob W-PDML]

Those are very impressive numbers for non-native speakers.

There is what I believe to be a more accurate test, relying on honesty, here. 
It also discusses the methodology used, and feeds the results back into itself 
- it is part of an academic research project.

http://testyourvocab.com

I do better on this one than on the one Mike posted, therefore I consider this 
one to be definitive, professional and accurate.

Since it doesn't appear that Voigtländer offers any other lenses in 
Pentax mount, I would guess not.

Ditto 30150. I missed one (or maybe not) when I clicked on one answer
before I had even read the stem or answers.
I wonder to what extent there is a speed component to the scoring “system."

stan




I'm guessing there must be some kind of time element, because there was
only a single word that I didn't know right away, but some of the
antonyms/synonyms offered were somewhat strained; had to think for a few
seconds on some of them to determine the least worst choice.

More likely, it's because American English is not your native language.

Well for a while Voigtlander did offer some lenses in PK mount.  I
remember a pdml member way back who tested the legendary 135 A* 1.8
Pentax lens against a Voigtlander equivalent, and the results looked
better with the Voigtlander.  He was from Australia. Don't remember
his name.

Here it is: it was Rob Studdert.  So Voigtlander has made some PK

Re: OT English test

[Boris Liberman]

Bob, just out of my never ending curiosity, I've taken the test that
you indicated. I got my result at 21,400 words, which puts me just
above the bottom level of native English speakers (said to be between
20,000 and 35,000 words).

This is extremely fascinating. I've bookmarked this page as I am going
to return to it every now and then.

Many thanks!
Boris

Re: Anyone know if these will be made in Pentax mount?

[Boris Liberman]

Peter, I apologize for posting a link to Russian web site, however
this is what it says:

1. Laowa ZERO-Distortion sales are starting in August
2. Lens covers 24x36 mm
3. Pentax mount will be supported
4. 16 elements in 10 groups, including 2 aspherical and 3 ED elements
5. Manufacturer claims absolute absence of any kind of distortion...

Re: Amazon Prime Day VISA30 SNAFU

[Larry Colen]

Larry Colen wrote:

There are supposed to be a bunch of awesome deals today on Amazon Prime.
Is there any way to find them easily, specifically searching for (for
example) Pentax mount lenses, or Pentax hot shoe speedlights?




I won't bore you with details of my travails right now but I got an 
email notification of a promotion $30 off any order of $150 or more 
using my Chase amazon rewards card.  In the process of shopping I 
realized that I needed two more large hard drives as both my working 
drive and my secondary backup were close to full.  When the dust 
settles, we're talking a $600 order, and at checkout, I find out via a 
terse error message that the discount code has been expired, over 12 
hours early, and possibly just a few minutes before I tried to check out.


After spending much time on the phone yesterday with multiple calls to 
both Chase and Amazon, not even getting any sort of courtesy credit, I 
cancelled my Amazon rewards card.  My new Costco card gives me as much 
cash back, it doesn't have to be at Amazon, and Costco is much less evil 
than Amazon.  Actually, Costco seems to be pretty darned ethical while 
Amazon competes with Walmart in levels of evil.


This morning, the order that I had made, using the rewards card one last 
time to collect $120 in rewards, wouldn't go through. They had not 
charged the card when I made the order.  I have 30 days to collect my 
rewards after cancelling, but there is no way to collect them.  Another 
call to Amazon, then to Chase, with at least one transfer to someone in 
the right department, I at least got the $120 applied to my account.

Thank you Jack.

I did crop it mentally (with some help from my fingers)
and I could see your point better.
You are right.
Will print it like that. (Most likely a cyanotype).

What, it's not historic enough that there's a goat in central London? We

Came on the news as I pressed send.  I think I just set a new world record for
speed of regretting something what I wrote.  If she wasn't a politician, I'd

I literally did a double-take when I saw the headline. I had to

Re: Anyone know if these will be made in Pentax mount?

[P.J. Alling]

I got that backwards anyway, it should have read "non DSLR version", not 
"DSLR version".  If the Russian site is correct, it will be nice to see 
high quality third party lenses available for K mount.

Peter, I apologize for posting a link to Russian web site, however
this is what it says:

1. Laowa ZERO-Distortion sales are starting in August
2. Lens covers 24x36 mm
3. Pentax mount will be supported
4. 16 elements in 10 groups, including 2 aspherical and 3 ED elements
5. Manufacturer claims absolute absence of any kind of distortion...

Based on what I can see, which is admittedly not much, I think not.  Most
lenses that are made in both mirrorless and DSLR versions simply have the
extra empty space needed for the proper lens registration grafted onto the
DSLR version, (look at the difference in any Samyang lens sold in Sony e,
Fuji X or M4:3, and K or F mount, the mirrorless mount lenses are
considerably longer).  These Voightlander lenses would probably have to be
completely redesigned.

Pentax

mount, I would guess not.

PESO - Thundering Ovation

[Bruce Walker]

It's a daylily ...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/bruce_m_walker/28008507800/lightbox/

One of the daylilies in our garden collection. Shot at noon just as
the sun was obscured by a conveniently placed cloud.

645Z, 90mm/2.8 macro, f/4.0, 1/125th sec, 100 ISO.

Key light: Paul Buff Einstein at lowest power setting, with an 8"
silver reflector with 30 degree grid, feathered just over the top of
the flower from camera-left. Using a Vagabond Mini to power it.

Fill: Sol with a cumulonimbus softbox.

retrospect I should have been able to parse the root of "fugue" out of 
fugacious.


I think that the quiz should also take the time you take to answer into 
account.  I am a lot more fugacious answering the words I know, than the 
ones I need to figure out by parsing their roots.

Mounting a phone or tablet to a camera? Also tripod heads

[Larry Colen]

A lot of times when playing with astrotracer, I can't exactly see what 
I'm aiming at with my bare eye, and particularly not through the 
viewfinder.  I've gotten close by using the google skymap app on my 
phone, holding it up to the back of my camera and using that to aim 
close enough to see the object in images and dial things in tighter.


I've got an adapter for mounting a green laser to my hot shoe. I'd love 
to have something similar for holding my smartphone.  Does anyone know 
of something existing?
Mind you what I'd really like is to be able to install google sky map on 
my camera and use its gps, accelerometer and display for aiming.


In a similar vein. fine adjustments using a ball head are a titch 
touchy. My old manfrotto three axis heads allowed me to adjust one axis 
at a time, but I can't find any of those in Arca Swiss.  Are there any 
decent three axis arca swiss heads that will hold a large lens and not 
cost several hundred dollars?

I think that may be the high point of good times for the week.

Tuesday I spent the entire day - 9am to 5pm - trying to set up a user
account with Citibank so that I can pay the bill for the new Costco
Citibank Visa card online. When I did it for American Express, I think
it took me about 5 minutes. I don't think I ever had any problem with
American Express that took more than 5 minutes to resolve on the phone
(including hold time). The last thing I got from Citibank's level 2
support was that they don't know what's wrong, but there 17 other 
people

in the U.S. are having the same problem.

They suggested maybe I should take my laptop to McDonalds & use their
public WiFi, or maybe use one of the computers down at the public
library to create the account.

Yesterday, was a war on fleas day, which I seem to be losing. Took the
cat to the vet to be bathed & boarded over night while I fumigated the
house with those "foggers in a can". Finally got back in at 10:00pm 
last
night & still had to vacuum, change all the bedding and do dishes 
before

I could get to bed.

Pinched a sciatic nerve somehow & could barely move by the time I gave
up last night. Used a heat pad overnight, and I can hobble around
reasonably well today.

Today, after I finished up housecleaning the aftermath of yesterday's
fumigation, I went & got the cat from the vet. She's got some residual
itching I guess, because even though she's all clean and sleek and not
shedding a bit, she's still scratching some. Probably will have to go
back to the vet to get medication for the itching until the scratched
spots heal up.

When I finally got around to turning on my computer this afternoon 
(shut

them down while fogging the house) one of my NAS boxes won't connect.
Looks like one of the drives may be failing (if it hasn't already 
failed

outright), but I think the fault may be the NAS box itself this time.

The NAS is set up as a RAID-1 mirror, so I should be able to recover 
the

data from the good drive.

I downloaded software to allow EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4 drives to mount on
Windows 7 and a program that's supposed to allow me to read the data
from the EXT formatted drive. The mount software sees the drive and
gives it a drive letter. Windows says it's not a recognized drive and
wants to format it. The Linux Reader software sees the drive, but so 
far

it won't let me read the data.

I don't think there's anything on the "drive" that's not backed up
somewhere else, but I won't know for sure until I manage to read the
data & hopefully copy it over to a new backup.

They say trouble comes in threes, but I'm already up to 4 for the week
so I don't know what's going on.

My stack wasn't quite deep enough, there is a slight blurriness in the

So it goes.

This image is tagged Adobe RGB, as regular RGB put the flower out of

I love ballheads but fine adjustments are near impossible. I find
composition adjust helps a lot sometimes. I've always preferred 3 axis
even if they can be slower in use. They are generally heavier than a

 Subject: Mounting a phone or tablet to a camera? Also tripod heads

 A lot of times when playing with astrotracer, I can't exactly see what
 I'm aiming at with my bare eye, and particularly not through the
 viewfinder.  I've gotten close by using the google skymap app on my
 phone, holding it up to the back of my camera and using that to aim
 close enough to see the object in images and dial things in tighter.

 I've got an adapter for mounting a green laser to my hot shoe. I'd love
 to have something similar for holding my smartphone.  Does anyone know
 of something existing?
 Mind you what I'd really like is to be able to install google sky map on
 my camera and use its gps, accelerometer and display for aiming.

 In a similar vein. fine adjustments using a ball head are a titch
 touchy. My old manfrotto three axis heads allowed me to adjust one axis
 at a time, but I can't find any of those in Arca Swiss.  Are there any
 decent three axis arca swiss heads that will hold a large lens and not
 cost several hundred dollars?

Re: PDML Photo Calendar - Cast your votes

[ann sanfedele]

I've been  AFL - don't ask - I'm back now  :-)Dan wrote me off list 
and told me about the calendar so here are 6 I love that are


landscape oriented.  I think if Mark were to produce the calendar on, 
say, cafepress - or lulu (less expensive than Blurb) the easier format


is landscape-



Boris's Taking a Picture(41)
Ted's California Sunset (55)
Christine's Museum Shot (68)
Frank's  The number you have Dialed (74)
Rick's Nos 111-113 (75)
Dan's Red Chinese photographer (79)


a lot of stuff happening in my personal life recently has occupied all 
my energy - and I have little of it in this heat.  Personally, I loathe 
summer -

"it's so hot here in town, and the heat gets me down"

just for you worry warts - I'm in good health, lost 15 lbs in 5 months - 
down to 130 lbs, great BP readings.   ebay sucks so that is not making 
me happy
and some sadness regarding friends - and slumping creatively so don't 
feel up to commenting on photos of others or world affairs, OK?


so let me lurk for a while - when my summertime malaise goes away I'll 
try to be more entertaining and helpful  for now it is old movies and 
words with friends

Re: Gone

[Ken Waller]

Paul, I'm probably one of the very few on this list that has met Gracie. I 
met her at your wife's funeral and my wife and I found her to be a very nice 
young lady, She didn't know us at all but she was very cordial with us and 
seemed beyond her age. You are fortunate to have such a fine grand daughter. 
Continue to cherish her. May I suggest you can still continue a long 
distance relationship with her on facetime.


God bless you and Gracie Paul.

From: "Paul Stenquist" 

Subject: Gone


Grace arrived 11 years ago on a flight from Scotland to Detroit, via 
Baltimore. It was an escape I had arranged, and I couldn’t breathe easy 
until I saw Grace and her mother descending the escalator from the flight 
deck. My wife and I met them and took them  home. The next morning I got 
down on the floor and talked to Gracie — and photographed her — and we 
began to establish a powerful bond that included all manner of things, 
including cameras. In the years that followed there were parties, trips to 
the beach, an endless number of days at the park, games, meals, some 
wonderful friends in the neighborhood and more. And through it all, Gracie 
was my partner, and I documented it in photos, some 3,000 I believe. But 
the end was always inevitable and yesterday it came to pass at 8:40 am as 
Grace and her mother left for a new life in Houston, Texas. I had steeled 
myself against the inevitable, but once their truck was out of site, the 
tears flowed. Today hasn’t been easy, but I have learned about moving on, 
and I’m working on that. I’ll be good, and I trust that Gracie will as 
well. But I will love her deeply until the day I die.
