In metric it's simply torque x angular velocity (in metric radians of course).

PESO 2018 - zephyr - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

It's darn hard to get decent photos from the train. The windows are slightly 
wavy, everthing I shoot out the window with either the Leica or the iPhone/iPad 
ends up being a touch impressionistic.

Some years back there were several pair (I think peregrine, not
certain) nesting on university buildings in Montreal. Some biologists
were re-introducing them after the breed had died out or been killed
off in Eastern Canada. Apparently they used to nest in large numbers
on cliffs along the river & prey mostly on gulls.

Some pigeon fanciers in the city protested rather loudly. I was
definitely rooting for the falcons.

Re: enablement

[P. J. Alling]

I wouldn't say I've had bad luck with the lens, anyone who's seen my 
equipment knows I don't baby it, (though in the case of the 70-210mm my 
current version looks very nice, I've been a lot more careful with it), 
the biggest problem is a lot of parts are now made of unobtainum, and 
while the outside of the lens is very robust metal or plastic covered 
metal in many cases, (though there are a lot of purely plastic parts), 
simple vibration over time, will cause some of the interior screws to 
work loose and get into places where they can wreak further havoc beyond 
the original issue of the screw coming loose.


The information brush is especially fragile, and is easily damaged by at 
least two different basic failures, mostly because the first inkling 
that there's something wrong with the lens is the zoom ring going beyond 
it's limits, which mangles the brush.


Once that's happened you'll have to fabricate your own brush as no 
repairman I know of will do it for you, they don't have the tools and 
won't improvise beyond a certain point, for fear of being blamed for 
further problems later, and well the lens just not having that high a 
resale value to make it worth trying to replicate such a delicate part.


In case you're curious, part of my information comes from partially 
disassembling one of my lenses on my own*, part comes from the 
information I got through email conversation with the tech who fixed my 
second lens, and part from this page




by a former member of this group, unfortunately now deceased, stored in 
the wayback machine.


*This not to blow my own horn by the way, I got to a point where I found 
the mangled brush and realized that I'd get no further without jigs and 
tools I just didn't have and were beyond my poor skills to synthesize.  
A shame really as the first lens was the best optically of the three, 
second being the worst, but not my much and the current one being 
somewhere between the other two, (ah, sample variation strikes again).

There are a number of points of failure that become more likely as
the lens ages.   \

The problem is that the replacement parts are all from donor lenses
which have the same wear.

Don't get me wrong I love the lens, but of the three I own, one is in
pieces for parts to repair the second which is now jammed, which I
didn't try to get repaired because I was able to buy the third, for
less than the cost of the repair and shipping.

i am glad i bought this lens though it doesn't necessary follow that
the images i make will be half as good. i was planning to take the

should take this lens instead (coupled with the sigma 17-50/2.8).

here is the PPG link for this lens if anyone else is interested:

The was captured late August/early spring and the sky was full of

This image was used in one of the PDML books.

I was setting up on a different subject when I heard the prehistoric

fired off several shots and this was the best of the bunch. I really 
like the equal spacing between the birds, the different wing positions 
and the rhythmic line the flock was flying in.

Re: PESO 2018 - zephyr - GDG

Very nice shot. It reminds me a little of Winterreise by Luc Delahaye. The 
secret, of course, is not to photograph whatever is outside the train, but to 
photograph what it looks like from inside a train. 

And to photograph the passengers, of course.

A friend took me for a ride yesterday. Here's a shot of the

Sounds (and looks) like a train engine.


Exactly, there's a photo of the windshield showing the parking permits
for the Boardwalk.

It was Roaring Camp's engine 2641, an EMD CF7.


I didn't look at the album page.  Should have realised there would be 
more. 8 -)


I'm getting better about posting fewer links to the photos themselves, 
but it's very rare that I'll only post one from a day of playing with 
my camera.




There's an interesting Wiki page on the motive unit.

Awesome thanks.

I was trying to figure out how much torque that thing generated. 
Wikipedia said something like 32,000 lbs of tractive force which works 
out to 53,000 lb ft of torque, if my mathing is correct.

Anybody have experience with godox?

[Larry Colen]

I just ran across a reference to their xpro-p wireless flash controller.
It looks like an interesting system, and it's nice that it talks to 
Pentax.


I'm not looking to spend any money on flash gear in the near future, but 
I still like to keep informed.
