Re: Geso; secord trail

Very nice collection.  Many of the photos have the feel of peek through 
nearby plants to get a glimpse of the scenery. The pumpkin in #2 is fab!

Nice shots, but I really prefer the K3 rendition. To my eye the wider

Re: I'll be doing a little show in Santa Cruz December 4th

[Stanley Halpin]

Congratulations on your show! Hope you get a good turnout.

My next left coast foray will be in early December 2022, probably back again in 
early October 2023. Both trips will be in/out of LA, the 2023 trip will include 
a day in SF. I’ll send up warning notices a month or two prior and lets see if 
we can arrange something.

K-70 problem

[Rick Womer]

Good afternoon all, 

My wife has a K-70, which has seen very light use (about 350 photosin 3 years).

She took it out to do some shooting this week, and everything seemed to work 
fine, except that all of the photos are =badly= underexposed (most totally 
black).

The metering is working well. On live view, the image on the screen looks fine. 
The photos recorded on the card are still black.

The things I have done, with no effect, include:
- replacing the battery;
- cleaning the lens and camera contacts;
- trying a different lens;
- updating the firmware;
- trying different exposure modes (TAv and Av give a barely visible image 
instead of a black one).

Any other ideas before we send the camera to Precision?

Rick

Re: PESO: greater hoopoe lark

[Subash Jeyan]

thank you Mark. and Dan and Larry...

the tokina was my lens. not anymore, not for the last one year or so
:). it is a sharp lens and the AF is lightning fast compared with my
sigma 150-500 OS HSM. it works well with the tamron 1.4 tc and in fact
adit never takes it off when using the tokina. it has its downsides of
course but nothing that cannot be taken care of in post...

Re: K-70 problem

Rick,

I agree with Henk.  An Aperature Motor Failure.

I had the same issue with my K-50 a few years ago (my thread on PDML:
K50 - Aperture Motor Failure?).

I wound up getting it fixed for $100 (if I remember correctly).  It
worked for about 18 months and then acted up again.  I wound up buying
an excellent used K-5 from Paul.

Good luck!

Unfortunately I'm probably not free then; Saturday is one of the days when we 
have an online gaming session, and it might well not finish in time for me to 
get to Santa Cruz.
(It's also possible that the game will get cancelled between now and then, in 
which case I'll try and make it over the hill).
