Joe, Is the K100D clunk lowered pitched than the istD snick? John --- Joe Wilensky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've found that it sounds much louder than the *ist D (I don't have the *ist DS or *ist DL to compare).

K100D is a slightly muffled clack, whereas the *ist D is a subtle snick. I find that the K100D shutter isn't _objectionably_ loud, but it is a _significant_ shutter sound.

Re: My uncle's photos. Longish.
Lasse, It fascinates me to go thru past family photos. I haven't been able to lately but I have this continuous desire to find all of my fathers photos at the old homestead. John --- Lasse Karlsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Sorry, this got much longer than intended. Two years ago my uncle (my mother's brother) passed away. Peacefully, at around 84, I believe. He was a photographer. (Not by profession - he was a radio-telegraphist (literally translated from Swedish - if you know what his profession would be called in English, please report (or in German, French, Spanish and Italian too). He'd be in charge of tele communications for instance on a ship. However I believe he only did one trip in the mid 50:s. He got too sea sick to carry on at sea! :) So instead of travelling the high seas (which a lot of Alanders did and do, since international shipping is and has long been a major industry of Aland) he took a job at the local Coastal-radio station (literally translated). I am now happy he did, since this meant that he'd shoot a lot of pictures locally in Aland and his and my home town, Mariehamn.) After his wife also passed away last year, I first told his daughter/my cousin, that all his picture archives, negatives and prints etc., MUST be taken care of and I also offered me to do it. I actually had been emphasizing this already with my uncle (who appreciated my thoughts - but he was already starting to lose some of his intellectual capacity) as well as with my aunt/his wife, who to my horror first gave me some ambigious statements, making me wonder if she actually had disposed of it all. She had at least at times expressed thoughts like I'm so tired of all his photos and those things, I think I'm going to throw it all away (Sheer horror at the thought - not only did we, the family, know of his unique family photos of which we had been given many copies, but I also knew/thought/hoped there'd also be pictures of great local documentary value in his archives.) Luckily, it eventually turned out that his photo archives had been preserved after all... (Sigh of relief... right? :) ) Since also his daughter, living abroad, at first when having to deal with emptying and selling her parents' house, didn't seem to care that much about the photos or my enthusiasm for them, I now realize that all the time up till now, the question about my uncle's photo archives, actually has meant some considerable concern, almost stress, to me. Anyway, during the last couple of months I have been helping her cousin clearing her (family) house, as it was sold. I guess I slowly gained the trust and understanding for my views on the photos, since I now have been given my uncle's photo archives (at least as a deposition and for getting them sorted out, cleaned up and making some sort of an inventory of them). I also got a lot of other old camera and dark room stuff, some a little interesting but most of which I will have to find another home for. My uncle - Erik, by the way - had the good taste of early on - that is in the early 1950s - choosing to shoot color slides, at a time when not too many people did so around here. For a couple of weeks now I have spent most of the days and nights doing everything that possibly can be made to the most important part of the archives, that is sorting out and cleaning his earliest slides. (From all his some 60 active years there will be thousands of slides, and thousand of negatives). Well, regarding his archives there is indeed a lot more that could have been desired. Listen to this: I have yet to come across one single note of date, place or persons depicted to any of his slides, negatives or single photographs! Not one single peace of information anywhere! :) (This makes for some interesting intellectual detective work on my part. In a way I don't mind, since it is very interesting. On the other hand I'd really want to spend the time on my own projects. However, I'm starting to think there will be at least an exhibition of his photos. Maybe a book, but I'm not sure about how to finance such a project.) Yet, he was very well aware of what was considered to be even the most basic method of filing negatives and slides. From late 1940s onwards he'd subscribe to photography magazines where such things repeatedly were discussed, just as we are discussing it on this list. He was in his daily work as well as in his capacity as a local politician, very much aware of the necessity of properly filing documents of all kinds. Yet, regarding this one personally very important part of his life, he never applied even the most basic filing method. My guess is that he simply never got started, although always thinking he'd have to, and in the end never got about to start while all new pictures added mounted

Re: Firewire card reader
Mark, Thanks for posting the firewire card reader link. I didn't know that was a multi reader available. I've only seen the CF kind. John snip downloading - especially with an eye toward a couple of jobs coming up - so I decided to look into getting an IEEE1394 card reader. And with the prospect of the new K10D and SD cards (g...) in the near future, a multi-format, or at least CF and SD, reader seemed the way to go. Surprisingly enough, there aren't a lot of them around. I ended up ordering an Addonics AESDMD2FW Mini Digidrive. It arrived yesterday and though I don't have another Firewire card reader with which to compare it, I can certainly tell that it's much faster than my current USB2 card reader. (Over twice as fast, which leads me to suspect that my old card reader isn't operating at full USB2 speed, but that's another story...)

RE: OT: more from the big snowfall in Switzerland - shoot with the Olympus XA4 macro
Markus, Love both first photographs with the SPF/85mm and the XA4. Before digital I used to supplement my LX with my XA2. I love the lens on that little camera even though its only a 35/3.5? Ever since I heard about the XA4 I wanted to see it and its results. Thanks for posting them. John
Re: Which tele lens for poor mans bird photography
How well do the lenses perform on the sensor compared to film as far as CA effects and/or pixel blooming? I made some DS2 exposures with my 1.4x tx + 300/8 vivitar this last Saturday of herons nesting in Sycamore trees in the Cuyahoga Vally National Park in NE Ohio. The lcd review showed alot of purple along the tree branches against the light blue sky. At home on my monitor there wasn't as much. The files were PEF, then viewed both with Irfanview and Pentax Photo Lab. When converted to jpegs most of the purple is gone except the thinnest branches are purple. John

When post-viewing in camera you are looking at a low quality jpg file which is affected by the in-camera settings, the RAW transformation used to produce this image isn't as sophisticated as most of the external RAW convertors and can exaggerate bloom and CA issues. I find that if I reduce sharpening to the bear minimum at the time of RAW conversion (using ACR) any bloom becomes far less saturated and obvious, compensating for CA in the RAW convertor can help a great deal too.
