Almost Like Praying
"Almost Like Praying" is a song written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and recorded by him and numerous artists under the collective name Artists for Puerto Rico. The song was released on October 6, 2017 by Atlantic Records to support relief efforts in Puerto Rico in response to Hurricane Maria, which struck the Island in September 2017. Proceeds from the song are to be donated to the victims and survivors of the hurricane. The song debuted at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard Digital Songs Sales chart, selling 111,000 downloads and achieving 5.2 million streams in its first week of availability in the US. The song is a compilation sung by numerous artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Camila Cabello, Gloria Estefan, Fat Joe, and Marc Anthony. It also includes samples from the song "Maria" from West Side Story. The song title is from that song's line "say it [Maria] soft, and it's almost like praying". Other artists on the song include Rubén Blades, Pedro Capó, Dessa, Luis Fonsi, Juan Luis Guerra, Alex Lacamoire, John Leguizamo, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Rita Moreno, Ednita Nazario, Joell Ortiz, Anthony Ramos, Gina Rodriguez, Gilberto Santa Rosa, PJ Sin Suela, Ana Villafañe and Tommy Torres. The sound of the Puerto Rican coquí frog can be heard at the beginning and the end of the song. Proceeds from the song are donated in full to the Hispanic Federation's UNIDOS Disaster Relief and Recovery Program, destined for the victims and survivors of the hurricane on the Isle of Puerto Rico. http://www.almostlikepraying.com/ https://atlantic.lnk.to/AlmostLikePraying Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola -- 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: Adapting Nikon lens for K-mount?
Well there is this thing. http://leitax.com/Nikon-lens-for-Pentax-cameras.html The good news being that the Lens registration distance for Nikon F is a little under 1.5mm longer than it is for Pentax, so if it's made properly it should maintain infinity focus. Even if it isn't it will probably be close. Or you can make the change to your camera body with this thing... http://adaptist.weebly.com/pentax-k-multi-mount.html This will be a bit trickier, but you only have to do it once. I've thought about doing it but the only third party lenses I own are crap... On 11/26/2017 11:23 AM, Stanley Halpin wrote: My father-in-law, who passed away in 2010, was an avid photographer.

What I think is the prize in this collection is a Nikon ED AF Nikkor 180/2.8 . I have an inexpensive adapter to K-mount, with a lens insert to allow for infinity focus. I have on order an adapter which does not have any glass, so no image degradation but no infinity focus. I look forward to playing with this a bit! So, to the question. Is it feasible to permanently replace the Nikon mount with a K-mount? Maintaining infinity focus without added lens element(s)? stan -- America wasn't founded so that we could all be better.
