Thanks for the comparison, Paul. Looks like it will work.

Doug,

Here’s a sample of the 12-24 on the K-1. I shot it full frame and cropped it, 
thinking I might get higher resolution that way. Not sure i that’s true. I 
attached the uncrossed (and not fully rendered) as well. The window in the 
final version is composited from another exposure.

MBP RIP

2018-11-02 Thread Rick Womer

On January 14, 2009 my wife and I had reservations on an early evening flight 
from PHL to LHR; we were on our way to Oxford for a six-month sabbatical (Joy 
doing research for a book at the Bodleian ; me working in a lab at “The 
Churchill” learning about interactions between malignant tumors and their 
hosts).

That morning, the high-end HP laptop provided by the hospital I work at died, 3 
months past its 3y warranty. Slicing and dodging through meters of red tape in 
a half-hour, I rushed it over to the repair shop the hospital used. They phoned 
a couple of hours later (~1pm) to say that the northbridge was cracked; they 
had shimmed it with some folded electrical tape, but didn’t think it would last 
long.

I scurried over, retrieved the HP, strode briskly to the university's computer 
store, and bought a late-2008 MacBook Pro. I phoned our computer guy from the 
store, trotted back to my office, and we spent a few hours shoveling software 
and data from the HP into the MBP. We finished, and I went home, took a shower, 
and we left for the airport.

Since then the MBP has been my work computer, getting heavy use every day. 
Almost every evening I carried it home, worked on it, carried it back, put it 
in its docking station, and worked on it more. I upgraded the RAM, replaced the 
spinny drive with an SSD, and replaced the battery a few times. It was utterly 
faithful for 9 years and 10 months (almost 9 years past the end of its 1-year 
warranty).

Before the MBP I’d had two top-of-the-line Toshiba laptops and two high-end 
HPs. All four snuffed it a few months after their 3-year warranties ended.

This morning, the MBP would not start. The computer shop said that there was 
some old, slow corrosion on the motherboard, from some moisture entering 
through the row of ports on the right side at some point. That wasn’t 
surprising, since my commute is a 1 mile walk in all kinds of weather, carrying 
it in a backpack.

So I bought a refurbished 2015 MBP, took the SSD out of the old one, and our 
computer guy and I will transfer the data Monday morning.

Sigh.

If anyone is interested, I have a late-2008 MBP battery in good condition, and 
will have a 450MP SSD available on Monday.

Rick

Re: OT: Subscription Software

2018-11-02 Thread Jostein Øksne

It's certainly convenient to have all that available at need. Saves you the 
trouble of saving offline copies of your installation files.
For the record,  I should add that my computer reinstallation with all offline 
installs except windows itself took around four hours. All told.

Re: back into Pentax

Sounds like fun. I’ve been tempted to buy the 43/1.9 for my Barnack Leica, but 
the price stopped me. I’d be better served by getting my focusing mirror 
restored and the vulcanite replaced.

back into Pentax

2018-11-02 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi

So I'm seriously afflicted with Leica enjoyment: Enjoying the heck out of my 
M-D and CL, and the R6.2 I picked up for a song recently. The photos I'm 
getting from these cameras are just so satisfying. 

I tend to use a fast normal lens most of the time. And for the R and M I have 
50mm f/1.4 or 50mm f/2 choices … more than one of them. So I was planning on 
buying the APO-Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH to use with the CL, the dedicated 
normal for the format. But. It's kind of a bulky lens. And I could only use it 
on the CL since it's Leica L-mount and a fully dedicated, electronic lens. And 
it ain't inexpensive, being around $2500 or so. Hmm. 

I was thinking of all this and looking through some photos I've made in the 
distant past. And some of my favorite photos made with the Pentax APS-C bodies 
were made with the 43mm f/1.9 Limited. And I remember looking for one of the 
special versions of this lens made for Leica Thread Mount an eon ago and being 
a little put off by the price (over $1100 at that time with the dedicated 43mm 
optical finder). 

So I looked for a LTM mount SMC-Pentax-L 43m f/1.9 Limited again and several 
popped up. Prices are not much different than they were for the complete set in 
EXC++ to near-MINT examples. But again. I found a couple without the finder 
down in the $650-700 range. And one looked very clean and pretty, with original 
caps. And I thought to myself, "That's a lot less than $2500, and I can use it 
on both my CL and my M-D. And it's that very nice 'long-normal' equivalent 
focal length around 65mm.."

The 40mm optical finder is irrelevant for the CL (EVF body), and I've got an 
LTM to M-mount adapter for 35mm which I feel fits the 43mm FoV well enough for 
the M-D (and I can flip to the 50mm framelines easily enough with the M-D's 
frameline preview selector for a comparison .. I know exactly how the 43mm FoV 
relates to those two lenses). And for close focusing on the CL, I have the 
Leica ELPRO close-up lenses that work very very nicely. 

It's on the way. I'll be able to contribute a couple of NEW pictures to the 
PDML annual this year! :-)

onwards!
