you wisely reformatted the drive — hopefully as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"

Going to full frame, I no longer have a lens for the k1 to fill the
niche of my 18-250, being reasonably long, if not particularly fast, but
will still fit in my camera bag and not weigh a ton.
The da 55-300, despite nominally being an aps lens seems to do ok on ff.
Is there anything even better, preferably not too expensive?

Just being a fly in your ointment for a minute - why would you consider
a lens of such sweeping focal length? Surely with the K1 having such a
good sensor, using what can only ever be an inferior lens (with such a
large zoom range) is counter-productive?

That's not always the case - back when I was regularly shooting motorsports
(on film ...) I was used to seeing a lot of the full-time photographers
using the Canon L 35-350, which was an amazingly good lens.  But that was
the exception (and by now I suspect modern digital sensors would point out
flaws in that lens that we didn't see when limited by film resolution).


It turns out that I was gifted a 55-300 for the holidays.  One thing 
that I didn't notice last weekend is that it does vignette between about 
100 and 200mm.




FWIW - back in those film days I picked up an FA 80-320 as my long-reach
lightweight carry-around (replacing a 100-300 which I never really liked).
It still seems to be fairly well thought of.  Furthermore, it would be
available on the same terms as my heavyweight alternative (the 80-200/2.8);
I just came across the 80-320, which I hadn't seen for several years, when
we were going through a pile of boxes to find out just what was in them :-)


I'd certainly be willing to take it out for some exercise sometime.  :-)

My print dialogue box came up with 8x10 in the preset window. I have
removed that but it was still printing 8x10.

I thought i was downloading updated 2400 driver software but it seems
i was updating, many many times, my 2450 scanner drivers instead. I
noticed that this evening and have down loaded the updated driver for
the 2400. Who knew.:-)

Hopefully this will help.

I've never used LR on Mac, so, I am not familiar with possible 
peculiarities. On Windows, it works this way:
There are some LR print templates that set the page size, and some others 
that don't. So, it is a combination of choosing the template and "page 
setup" that is needed to be done in a particular order (to preserve or set 
the page size, and to get the template suitable for that size).


I just looked, and my LR has a 4x6 and a 5x7 print templates (#1 and #3 on 
the list, respectively) that are for a letter-size paper.

If you are choosing those, that's what might be happening.

But if you were to choose, say 5"x7" under "page setup", and then choose 
"maximize size" standard LR template (toward the bottom of the list), - 
you'd get the largest printable size on a 5"x7".

Re: Pirelli goes natural

2016-12-22 Thread Larry Colen

I like it and I'm 56.

I've long been a fan of the Pirelli calendar. I've never put it in the 
same bin as more conventional pin-up calendars. I have no objection to 
them, other than it bugs me when the women are shown misusing tools.


To me the Pirelli calendar has always been more about photography than 
just pictures of generic pretty women.


I think that the year that really caught my attention was 1984
https://bennettstreet.wordpress.com/2015/06/11/pirelli-calendar-1984/

Particularly the pictures with the tread pattern painted on the models.

FWIW - back in those film days I picked up an FA 80-320 as my long-reach
lightweight carry-around (replacing a 100-300 which I never really liked).
It still seems to be fairly well thought of.  Furthermore, it would be
available on the same terms as my heavyweight alternative (the 80-200/2.8);
I just came across the 80-320, which I hadn't seen for several years, when
we were going through a pile of boxes to find out just what was in them :-)

the papers that are suitable for Photo Black.
Prior to that, for most purposes, I've preferred Matte papers at photo 
labs. With my Epson (R2880), - I am using either pearl/luster or, 
occasionally glossy (when needed or when the right size is not reasonably 
available in pearl/luster, - such as 4"x6")

Re: PESO: Neglect

2016-12-22 Thread Alan C

That's a difficult one. Where do the lawyer's come in? The sentimentalists
would want restoration because it is/was a much loved landmark. On the other
hand a modern cathedral (like Coventry or Guildford) is a good option too.
Sense must prevail. Even the Normans flattened many old 8th century churches
in England and built the 11th century Cathedrals we know so well
today.

Re: PESO: Neglect

2016-12-22 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
I have seen a number of these situations, and they always frustrate me.

Personally, I would like to see a building like that preserved.  I don't
own the buiding, however, the church does, and the church shouldn't be
forced to restore it.  If the well-meaning "preservationists" was to save
it, let them raise the money to buy the property and restore the building.

PT LR 4.4 and Epson 2400 printing

2016-12-22 Thread David J Brooks
Hi all.

Prior to my upgrading to OS 10.11.6 my printing from LR went mostly
well. I now find that it will only print via LR as 8x10 even if i
select the 4x6 or 5x7 templates. Not sure whats what here.
