PESO: Letaba River

[Alan C]

The "mighty" Letaba River in the Kruger Park is a mere trickle at the 
moment. Normally the Letaba be in flood by now. Not much rain in the 
catchment area yet.

Sorry Bob. For it to be half as black as something, that something needs to
exist.

Donald Trump is a ginger.  He doesn't have a soul.  But he probably stole yours.

Re: DFA 70-210 f4

[P. J. Alling]

It looks like the DFA 70-210 f4.0 is going to be a bit less expensive 
than the DA 60-250 and quite a bit less than the DFA* 70-200 f2.8


There is the consideration that the new 70-210 has the new 
electronically controlled aperture, which makes it problematic on 
earlier Pentax DSLRs.


So, if one has a camera the can control the lens, one could save some 
money, and not have to worry about vignetting.

coincidentally last week at a photo club meeting I was chatting with someone 
about it, and I suggested the 60-250.  It’s my understanding that despite the 
naming the 60-250 works just fine on full frame.  Can anyone comment on that?

I don't have one, but KEH.com has one for 40 bucks.

Well, maybe not a full write-up, but a "hey, this thing arrived at my
house" write-up.  KEH had an EX K10D for less than a Benjamin, so I
figured "why not?  How bad could it be?"  I'll tell you.

It looks and feels nearly new.  There is no noticeable wear on the
exterior.  I can't even tell that it was ever mounted to a tripod.
Shutter was at 19547.  Yes, it's old.  But it was pretty slick back in
2006 and I'm certainly not a better photographer now than I was then,
so I'm not expecting to outgrow it.

Pictures to come.  You've been warned.

The past few weeks here have been worrisome, stressful and emotionally 
draining. My partner of 28 years had to be put in the hospital last 
Saturday. He had been getting weak and was staying in bed a lot. He 
has had a fatty cyst on his lower back that has never given him 
trouble but with him laying down a lot it ended up getting infected. 
This caused him to get an infection and with his liver damage it 
wasn't sending signals to his body that he had the infection. Got him 
home this past Thursday from the hospital with a hole in his lower 
back where they opened it to drain the infection and other fluids. It 
has to be packed and bandaged everyday. He is still weak but is way 
better than he was before we got him to the hospital.


Tiny our 18 year old sweet little tea cup chihuahua passed away today. 
He had worried himself sick about his daddy and started not eating or 
drinking. When I would come in from being at the hospital each day I 
would love on him and he would spend time with me but then would go 
and lay back down waiting on his daddy to come home. Last Friday I 
rushed him to the vet as he was still lethargic and very weak. The vet 
did all he could for him but his tiny heart just couldn't take anymore 
and he died mid day today. Once the ground has thawed some I will be 
burying him with his favorite toy, a small little bear.


So I have been taking care of my partner and now I am mourning and 
hurting from the loss of our four legged son.
