Re: OT: Netscape 7.1 - ann's new computer blues

After that it was passed around, other people worked on it, etc. I didn't like Netscape 6 -- where they had added skins and things, it also seemed bloated, so I've stuck with the original. Maybe 7.1 is better than 6, but I am fine with the original. I also use Firefox now and then also. Mainly I use AOL's built-in IE which is okay. http://netscape.1command.com/client_archive46x.phtml You can download Netscape 4.6 there.

However, I still find that most color films process better when rated a half to a full stop slower than the indicated ISO. In other words, shoot Portra 160 at about 100 to 120. Shoot Portra 400 at about ISO 300. You'll get better negs. Color slide film, on the other hand, should be shot at the indicated ISO and exposed very carefully. Only with BW will you benefit from zone exposure and processing. Paul _ I always shot Kodachrome and Agfachrome at 1/2 to 1 stop under - for PKR 64 I made it 1/2 stop - got better saturation.

Question for the ME-Super experts here: I received the body I got on ebay, and it looks and sounds great. The only thing is, the exposure compensation ring is extremely hard to move. It was on x1/4, and with a lot of effort and a paper clip as leverage I could bring it back to x1. Am I missing something in the way it moves? The ASA setting works normally, lifting and rotating it is efortless. There are no signs of drops or anthing like that.

I am not an authority, but I think that lightness is a drawback for a tripod: it is just not steady enough. Kostas Generally speaking, I agree. But there is a practical consideration as well -- how it is used. With long lenses, heavier is better, But with wide angle and light equipment weight is often not as critical. Rather, sound construction to avoid twisting and breaking are equally important. Spending $200 to $500 on a quality, solid, carbon fibre unit for a hiker shooting medium-lenth or wide angle lenses on 135 or medium may be suitable. For 4x5 8x10, when there's any wind at all, the big video unit comes out. With very little or no breeze, the 3021 suits even 8x10 just fine. Tripods are often suited to the application and environment just as much as the rest of one's equipment. Collin mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Re: Recent thread on 85's and 77's
Hi, Actually Konica was way before Canon in shutter priority - automic aperture control. They started in the early sixities if not earlier. Their Autoreflex seiries were quite successful with reliable exposures. Wasn't it a hot debate about what was best shutter or aperture priority? Seems strange these days but I guess when cameras did not have all the features it depended on what one should do. Cheers, Ronald P. J. Alling Thu, 12 Jan 2006 23:14:35 -0800 Canon pioneered Shutter Priority Automation while Pentax was investing in aperture priority automation, pretty much contemporary IIRC. (I was selling Cameras Retail and the AE-1 was along side the ME and K2 in the display cases), The AE-1 meter was a PITA to use in manual mode, I think they used a trap needle system in their automation. Minolta beat both to punch with both in the same camera, I believe. Canon was next and I can't remember if Nikon beat Pentax or not.

Pentax body but not glass? (was Re: Samsung GX-1L?)
What worries me is that Samsung wants the body but not the glass. Though maybe, probably, it's about margin and market niche. Will Pentax get the sensor for Photokina as part of a trade agreement (body access for sensor access)? That would seem a typical arrangement. Yes, 9mp would be a significant improvement over 6mp. And if the price is right, 6mp bodies prices will have to drop like bricks. And quickly. Collin KC8TKA mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
Re: Pentax body but not glass? (was Re: Samsung GX-1L?)
What I mean is that you the the 18-55 package but someone else's glass label. That's not Pentax, except perhaps for the package. And that's not a significant photo product by any streach. And why buy Pentax glass given the popularity of the Schneider name? Old-timers know Schneider from the Kodak days (whether Retina or even the first 126 bodies, let alone the digitals) and it's known in LF (it's definitely the best in that arena, though a bit pricey). Pentax has become a relatively- unknown entity in these circles. Comparatively, that is. This might very easily backfire. I don't want it to backfire, but it won't be any surprize.

I'm not sure exactly how that makes a person small minded and kind of stupid, but maybe that's because I'm small minded and kind of stupid. I'll try to do better though by redressing others should they say something stupid and kind of small minded concerning something they are proud of about their country. Your excellent example is appreciated, and I'll be sure to give you the credit, Frantisek, for this enlightenment as I redress them. Failures are a part of all governments -- all human institutions. And the successes are very few in human history. This is why we have the oft-forgotten term, which President Reagan was one of the few to recall for us, that this nation is proudly called ... ...

Re: More Texas Photo Issues
In a democracy all voices are equal. In a representative republic majority rules. As a result dissenting voices cry about being disenfranchised. Sometimes it's true; sometimes not. The facts of any disenfranchising situation should outweigh the sounds we hear and should thus determine the appropriate response. It's not unreasonable for any nation to ask of its citizens to pledge patriotism. We have an exception -- religious conscience -- in our 1st Amendment. The situation in the US right now is a bubbling mess. The Left is consolidating its concensus to reform the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s. With that emphasis they are vilify the competition. Listening to them, all of the conservative voices are likened to Nazis and any evangelical voice is made out to be a cry for a theocracy. So the lies and manipulations are well-formed and of a broad concensus in the Left's media efforts these days. Ed Schultz and Randi Rhoads are notable in this broadcast effort. Ed frequently uses the Nazi assocations, talking about Field Marshall von Rumsfeld and Randi does not criticize violent rhetoric. I choose simple constitutional liberty.

Re: Which 35/2.0?
Per our off-line discussion, I like the image created by the K35/2 better than from the A35/2. But the A has better contrast. Haven't compared them with film yet, but I'm not shooting much C41 any more. With BW it will be interesting to compare them. 73, KC8TKA mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
Real Resolution goes to (bw) film
#1 When reviewing my picture of the young model from last year http://members.safe-t.net/dpconsult/ashley.jpg what occurred to me was the detail in the face. This was a split print. First as a magenta exposure for about 20 seconds, followed by a yellow exposure to burn in the face detail for about another 20 seconds. Doing this allowed me to drop out the background and maintain all of the detail in the face and clothing threads. If this was shot in digital, the comparison would be interesting. Genuine fractals can make the edges sharp but can't add any real detail that's not already present. #2 For bw I'll stick with film. Even though you can see some spots on this print where the safelight was the incorrect unit. (Can you spot the darkroom mistakes that I left behind?)

Re: Liberty. Was: anybody still shoot film?
Wed, 28 Sep 2005 02:54:37 -0700 It's just that words change meaning with languages and geography. Especially in politics were the winner may try to degrade the views of the opponent. Liberal is slightly on the right wing here, but may be understood as left wing in the US, and I've met americans who cant understand how we can have a socialist government in a democracy. They think it is the same thing as communism. DagT Dag, We know that they're not the same. But they are first cousins. In Europe, it seems, Liberal has maintained more of the classic meaning of open minded where in the US it's somewhat mixed between that and socialist. What many of us fear is the constant reduction of freedom from the more serious socialists. The bans on firearms, certain religious speech (Canada and Sweden in particular), a general unwillingness to discuss issues but instead demagogue ideas (like Intelligent Design), restrictions on travel (China), excessive taxation, and so many other problems that, even with our failings, there's no sense in losing even more freedom than we already have. KC8TKA (These letters represent a level of liberty that has been lost in many countries, both socialist and totalitarian. Tiananmen Square and the power of the fax machine [open communication] should never be forgotten. One should not even consider some of this open-minded internet-based discussion in China.)

Re: I Need Suggestions For a Flash Unit (or two, or three...)
Paul, My Sunpak 611 setup has some of the same lacks. Losing 2-3 stops with the umbrella or diffuser takes away a lot. The 611 GN is 160 (in ft), which means 10 ft @ f16 directo or, iirc, 8ft @ f8 off a white umbrella. Less when the umbrella can't be as close. I'm looking @ some used JTL Mobilight units with the battery packs. Decent GN (180) and good recycle time. And a modest price.

Re: Liberty. Was: anybody still shoot film?
1. There was a comma after the gun statement. It was not a designation regarding Canada. But to that point, consider Australia. 2. Regarding certain religious speech, here's a Canada example. http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/jun/05060808.html The problem is that the apparent exemption is a generalized statement, the interpretation of which is at the whim of the enforcer. And also consider that independent religious broadcasting is illegal in Canada. Many put their transmitters on the US border so to avoid government intrusion. = KC8TKA mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
DS batteries
Went to WalMart two nights ago. First I saw the $30 LiIon/charger set and was tempted. But they had NO (nada, none, zilch) batteries without the charger. That means for 2 sets I'd have to purchase 4 chargers. No way. Bummer. So on my way out there's the battery rack with the 4-pack 2500Mah NiMh for $9.98 and a charger for the same price. So I made the purchase. It takes 8 1/2 hours to fully charge but the DS runs great on 'em. They're worth the look, esp. at about the same price as the 2100Mah units.

RE: JCO is right, so ...
Pentax illogical? No. Japanese, yes. Like the Japanese auto mfg. in Ohio where I work, they're engineering driven. They are neihter marketplace- nor marketing department-driven. Hence Pentax will often make the very best, but be slower about it. The unfortunate thing is that they are so slow. Someone always beats them to the punch. (Which is what Honda Toyota have learned and Detroit has yet to learn.) Any survey or petition by users will have no effect because the corporate philosophy is not a suitable construct so to allow such to occur. Pentax, in its current state, will always be 3rd-tier consumer/prosumer camera company. Good product, capable of fiscal survival, but third-tier. (Canon Nikon being the clear first-tier leaders and Sony, K-M covering the middle route. One might disagree with this categorization, but the point remains that P is lightweight in the field.)

Of course if they had real backward compatability you could use that Tessar you bought in 1905 on the D grin. Funny thing is that if Pentax were like the other companies it would have a Z-mount and nothing else would even fit on the camera. - Original Message - Wouldn't be hard to do at all. Put it on a macro/slide copy bellows. Black gaffer's tape will work well. Open the shutter. Focus shoot. A 6 bellows draw is suitable for a 6 lens @ infinity.
