OT: What is Art?

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Following up on the recent discussion here about what is "art,' there is
an  interesting case between Hermes and and an NFT artist over whether
using Hermes bags in an NFT violates the trademark rights of Hermes or is a
free-standing work of art, (consisting entirely of images of Birkin purses).

OT: First AF lens failure

[collinb]

OT because it wasn’t one of my Pentax lenses.

It was the Sony 24-70/4 Z. Awfully nice optics.

I read through an article on this lens. The sound it makes ... wouldn't 
surprise me if that AF solenoid coil came loose and was beating itself back and 
forth trying to focus. And since it happened just after shooting outside, there 
could be some contamination on the focus sensor. That’s easily cleaned. But I'm 
not about to take it apart ... not yet.

Interestingly, this guy shoot a K-1.

Re: Lens aperture slow to respond, thus overexposed pictures

[Ciprian Craciun]

Thank you all that have responded!

I'll try to see if there is stil a Pentax service in my country
(Romania), although I highly doubt it...

If you say that disassembling the lens on my own is out of question,
and if I don't reach (an affordable) service here, I'll have to use it
as it is...

I often use it at f/5.6, and from playing a bit with the lens
(actuating manually the aperture lever), it seems it became a bit
"quicker" to respond...  :)

Thanks,
Ciprian.

Re: OT Rabbit hole

[ann sanfedele]

This is clearly a better quiz for you guys on the other side of the 
pond.  Also better for guys who can id vehicles ages in street scenes..


Interesting thing about fashions.. there are differences for same time 
periods across countries.. so that poses a problem for

us over here..

bottom line.. I really sucked at it.
