The Dove (Hammersmith) was my favourite drinking spot if I was in that part of London. A nice pint (or two) on the riverside terrace was a great way to spend a warm summer evening.

Happy (still fairly) New Year, and other things
Dear PDMLers, The year is (still) young, so, Happy New Year! (And it is rather late for "Happy Hanukkah!", and "Merry Christmas!", but better later than never.) Best wishes to all y'all and y'all's y'all! ;-) The year end was very busy for me, so, I was reading PDML only briefly, on the run, without much time to respond. Hey, that spared the list from my sarcastic comments. I enjoyed the photos posted to the list. (Rick, - I particularly enjoyed the series from San Diego, - the city that I miss.) The school break ends today; many pokemon have been caught and some have been trained, and Pikachu has already lost his (her? its?) red holiday hat. (Those who are "in the know" will get the reference.) I will spare the list from many other details, like that my car repair will hopefully be completed tomorrow, after two months of hardball negotiations with the insurance company and then the actual repair. (I was lucky to avoid any injuries (for all participants) in the accident, but the car suffered. Let me just say that car drivers in a college town in the metropolitan center of rural TX do stupid things on the road.) Larry, - I share your sentiment about the collective wisdom of PDML, and the general kind atmosphere despite all the differences and individual pecularities. Cheers to that!

Leica M lenses on PK mounts? [No.]
Recently on the Facebook pentaxian group, there was mention of an adapter for using Leica M lenses on K-mount. We have all heard that the lens mount to shutter plane distance is just wrong and beyond fixing with an adapter. "Infinity focus will not be possible!” So I took the challenge. I bought the adapter in question($19.95), noting the warning on the listing that infinity focus would not be possible. Yeah, ok, I get it. But how about focus at 100 feet? At 10 feet? I have Leica 28, 35, 50, and 90mm lenses that were my father-in-law’s. The adapter is a smooth comfortable fit on my K-1 - no binding, no looseness. In turn I mounted each of the 4 lenses, through trial-and-error using LiveView on the camera I found the appropriate distance at which I was able to focus on a coin on the table. Short answer: the physics of optics wins out over naive hope. See here: http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p566717840/e80d9dab3 for test shots. Check the image Titles for identification of the lens used. And check the interspersed shots of the setup which should allow you to approximate the max distance you could shoot with focus set at infinity. (About 4' from focal plane in the case of the 28mm.) All shots at f/16, including one with the PK D FA 100/2.8 Macro, then a series of one each shot from the 50, 35, 28, and 90mm lenses in that order. If anyone is interested in conducting their own test, send me your address and $15 and I will have this like-new-in-box adapter on its way to you. It would be a trifle more if you would also like to buy the Leitz lenses to use for the test. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Leica M lenses on PK mounts? [No.]
It is a testament to the persistent meme of "Leica M lenses are the best in the world" that everyone wants to adapt them to whatever camera they're using, whether the camera is suitable for them, or they for it, ... or not. Pretty amazing stuff. And more than a bit on the silly side. A fun test, howsomenever. I suspect the only mating with this adapter that would work other than for pretty tight macro work would be the couple of Leica M lenses that have an available Visoflex 'short focusing mount', like my Hektor 135mm f/4.5. (On this and a couple other lenses, the lens head unscrews from the focusing mount to allow a short helicoid mount or a short bellows mount to be used.) I don't suspect that they would outperform good Pentax lenses, but if you had the right lenses it would be a fun setup to work with. Leica M lenses do superb things when fitted on Leica M bodies. You have a full complement of them, Stan, and should simply buy a Leica M body to use them with. Assuming you want to keep them and use them, of course! :-) G > On Jan 4, 2017, at 11:42 AM, Stanley Halpin > wrote: > > Recently on the Facebook pentaxian group, there was mention of an adapter for > using Leica M lenses on K-mount. > We have all heard that the lens mount to shutter plane distance is just wrong > and beyond fixing with an adapter.

Re: macro lens
I will add that it looks really good. Pretty much all of Laowa's lenses have been really good so far, so I honestly wonder who is behind them exactly. Semiiexotic lenses designed like that came from people that know what they are doing.

Re: Nutty Nuthatch
Nice Paul. I get a few at my feeders eating thistle and black oiler sunflower seed.

Employed the K-1, the D FA 150-450 and the DA 1.4X converter. I was surprised to see a Nuthatch at the feeder, since they usually dine on insects. Of course, there may be some bugs among the seed’s, but it looks like he has a thistle seed here. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18328622&size=lg Back in the tree where he belongs: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18328621&size=lg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: macro lens
I do not disagree with you. Still it is pretty surprising that they are making really great lenses right out the gates. Look at yongnuo.

Re: macro lens
Without a doubt. I always take a look at B&H and Adorama first. I try to give Adorama preference but they hit me on shipping more for small things like ink. I will say that Adorama has helped me so much in the past and has pulled some serious strings for me. All I did was ask. On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 8:32 PM, Gonz wrote: > Thank you Zos.
