Probably not. They probably did some ouija board consultation, came up with a 
projected demand, rounded up to the nearest thousand, and made a batch. And 
then moved on to other things.
(This is the same answer I would give if you asked about the FA* 200/4.0 
Macro.) 

Pure speculation of course, but i would think that the economics of running 
multiple production lines with multiple products, all of which would depend on 
subcomponents from various suppliers, would dictate a batch-mode process: stock 
the materials (and/or get a supply flow established), build “enough” plus a 
few, ship them out (and let the wholesalers and retailers worry about a place 
to store the to-be-sold stock), reconfigure the line, and start making 
something else.

Re: Thoughts on Electronic vs Mechanical shutter?

2016-12-28 Thread Bill

On 12/28/2016 11:28 AM, John Francis wrote:


I think you have that backwards.

With an electronic shutter, the image is taken at electronic speeds; the
entire sensor is cleared, then the image is captured.  There's no reason
for the electronics to expose different pixels at different times. While
there will certainly be some delay across the sensor, I would expect all
the pixel exposures to be synchronized to within a nanosecond, which is
effectively simultaneous as far as any mechanical system is concerned.



The electronic shutter in the Fuji X-T1 takes about 1/30th of a second 
to read the entire frame. I expect the Pentax is similar.


What you are talking about is a global shutter, not a rolling shutter. 
I'm quite certain that Pentax uses a rolling shutter.

The library is quite the challenge to shoot without putting a light in

less glare.

Re: PESO - woman seated by the fire

2016-12-28 Thread Bruce Walker
Thanks, Larry.

This shot was part of an experiment for me in trying to frame more
loosely and include more ambient detail. Trouble for me here is that
the ambient contains little interesting detail. The stone/brick walls
are bare, and the floor is nice but featureless. So I ended up
cropping into the frame a bit in the end. The fire is supposed to
balance against the girl and give your eyes something else to wander
over. I decided to make the circle of her petticoat symmetrically
contained by the frame and she's leaning back so her upper body ends
up to the left and places the fire to the right. I thought that made a
nice inverted triangle.

Sigh. Who knows? Composition is a tough language to learn. Sometimes I
think I should go to night school art classes, but I'm a complete
klutz with paint brushes, so I think I'd get tossed out. I might be
okay with pastels or chalk though. Hmmm ...

2016-12-28 Thread Larry Colen
I love the lighting, and the subject is gorgeous.  Having her so 
centered in the frame doesn't feel right to me.  At the very least I'd 
crop the right and bottom tighter so she is looking more into rather 
than out of the frame.  Alternatively, I'd try cropping tight to the 
dress and over her head as well.  While she is excellent, the fire is 
merely nice and I think cropping in as tight as you can would dilute 
less of the excellent with just nice.

Lovely, moody feel to these, Ralf. I especially like the first two,

That looks really cold.  Nice work.  You even do good work in the daylight.

PESO covered bridge at night

2016-12-28 Thread Larry Colen
Someone recently posted a photo of the local covered bridge lit by 
holiday lighting.  I thought that my own take on that would be a good 
excuse to play with the 15-30.  I had barely set things up and taken a 
couple of test shots last night when all of the lights were turned off.


I may go back a bit earlier in the evening for another try at lower 
ISOs, but even so, this one didn't turn out too bad:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/31895178246/in/album-72157676984105750/

While I was out, I got a few more shots, some while playing with speed 
lights, and then tried photographing the Felton branch of the library (a 
converted church) at night.  For them that are interested:

http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157676984105750

The library is quite the challenge to shoot without putting a light in 
the frame.   I should maybe try with a longer lens for a narrow AoV and 
less glare.

Re: Thoughts on Electronic vs Mechanical shutter?

2016-12-28 Thread John Francis

I think you have that backwards.

With an electronic shutter, the image is taken at electronic speeds; the
entire sensor is cleared, then the image is captured.  There's no reason
for the electronics to expose different pixels at different times. While
there will certainly be some delay across the sensor, I would expect all
the pixel exposures to be synchronized to within a nanosecond, which is
effectively simultaneous as far as any mechanical system is concerned.

With a mechanical shutter, however, you're not going to get that. There
will be a difference in time between the top and bottom of an exposure
frame, because the opening and closing of the shutter is controlled by the
movement of the shutter blind across the sensor. To a first approximation
the difference in time is the maximum flash synchronisation exposure speed
(not using high-speed flash, of course). Even if you have a camera capable
of flash synchronisation at 1/1000 of a second, thats still six orders of
magnitude more temporal distortion artifacts than from an electronic shutter.

while electronic shutters can expose all the pixels simultaneously, they
only read out the pixels sequentially.  But that's because of bandwidth
limitations (both within the sensor chip and in the interface to the camera),
not because the pixels are being exposed at different times.

Re: Thoughts on Electronic vs Mechanical shutter?

2016-12-28 Thread Zos Xavius
You don't see the rolling effect because it is only a half electronic
shutter. When the shutter closes or stops as an electronic aperture
does is when you get the motion artifacts. That's when the sensor
starts reading out. With a mechanical shutter it just closes and
starts reading off the sensor. With electronic it reads the sensor in
chunks. First curtain is possibly going to have more noise, but
probably not really since you are already in live view and the sensor
is active. If anything the electronic shutter might help with
vibrations. I don't see any major disadvantage there really.

Thoughts on Electronic vs Mechanical shutter?

2016-12-28 Thread Larry Colen
I was playing with some night landscape work tonight, using live view, 
and when I took a photo, I didn't hear the shutter.  I realized that was 
because I had set my camera to use electronic shutter in live view 
because that means it doesn't need to go flop flop with the shutter and 
you don't get all of the shutter lag.


I realize that with objects in motion, using an electronic, or rolling, 
shutter, you can get some interesting bits of distortion.  However, it 
seems to me that on very long exposures, that effect is minimized, and 
you are saved a whole bunch of mirror bounce.


Are there any major disadvantages of using live view/electronic shutter, 
on tripod mounted long exposures that I'm missing?
