[Paul Dunderdale]

Thanks, Rick and Larry, too.  

I’m off on holiday (vacation…:-p) tomorrow, so I won’t even be lurking for a 
while.  And no Pentax sadly: the kit’s just too heavy.  The X-Pro 1 will have 
to do.  

Take care all!

Paul

Re: K1 question

Let me explain: I don’t *want* to buy more lenses. I’ve been 32 days sober.  
But I know I*will* buy more lenses.  I can’t ‘andle it….

Bill & Larry:  the beers & burgers were here, waiting, this afternoon.  Such a 
nice afternoon, Weber singing, sun shining.  No-one came.  Thank you!

K1 question

[Paul Dunderdale]

Does the K1 sense APS-C lenses and reduce its ‘window’ accordingly?  My A7r 
does.  I could persuade myself to buy a K1 if I could use it with my little 
store of APS-C zoom lenses for the K5.  I have enough legacy glass for serious 
use, but I do like the zooms for functions and gigs.  And I *really* don’t want 
to buy more lenses!

Re: Dusk at Glen Mooar Beach

[Paul Dunderdale]

Thanks Rick.

I have a friend who bought into adjustable ND.  He’s quite passionate about 
long exposure photography (he’s dragged me kicking and screaming into it!).  I 
get the impression that he is disappointed with it for the same reasons you 
state.  

I decided to try a six stop and a three stop for flexibility.  I can add a 
polariser for a bit more if I need to, but so far my best results have come 
from the ND6.   Lots of experimenting to come!

Local cormorants have trouble taking flight after guzzling on our local

A world without cormorants is a world of *much* more productive fly fishing.  
*This is a good thing*.

Then make the camera bags from the very thick cormorant hides and turn  profit. 
 You have to be flexible if you want to solve problems like 
Cormorants/Crocodiles/Maria….

You will render the SD card (see above) useless for photographic purposes if 
you use it to skin a croc:  the smell would be *awful* after a few days.  
Please be pragmatic: use a CF card….

Feed the cormorants to the crocodiles. Make camera bags from the croc skins. 
Problems solved and a profit turned.

PVR: Dusk at Glen Mooar Beach

[Paul Dunderdale]

Hi, all,

I hope this doesn’t post twice: first attempt I forgot to switch to plain text….

I’m a long-standing lurker, and haven’t had the K5 out of its bag since I shot 
a friend’s wedding last October.  Before that - who knows?  It just seems so 
*big*…

Anyway, A couple of friends dragged me out this evening, and I thought ‘Why 
not?’  It was a good chance to play with my new 6 stop ND….

So: PVR (Picture Very Rarely):  
https://www.flickr.com/photos/dunders/26548327500/

Hi, all,

I’m rationalising my photo gear, and have some Pentax bits to go.  I have not 
sold through this forum before, but I have 100% feedback (122 items) at Ebay: 
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/dundertech (and I’m sure Godfrey will vouch for me).

FA135/2.8 - asking £250.  Photos:  http://gallery.me…uldunderdale/100218

FA20-35/4 - asking £200.  Photos:  http://gallery.me…uldunderdale/100226
The filter-adjusting door on the lens hood is missing (recognise this, Stan?), 
otherwise all is good.

FA50/1.4 - asking £175.  Photos:  http://gallery.me…uldunderdale/100233

K10-D body - Recent examples on eBay UK have fetched more than £200, so I’ll 
take £175.  There are all the bits that came with it, two spare batteries and 
the Bourque book ‘Pentax K10-D: Everything you need to know and then some’.  
Photos: http://gallery.me…uldunderdale/100234

RMSD (insured/trackable) at cost.  Payment by PayPal (gift).

 According to the 'rules', that's not allowable. The body must be Pentax.
 When you add data to your images, you can choose Other for non-Pentax
 lenses, but there is no equivalent field for bodies.

Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF

[Paul Dunderdale]

I bought mine from Godfrey a couple of years ago.  So far (touches wood 
nervously) I have had no trouble with SDM.  It and the 16-50 are my go-to 
lenses when I'm not hiking (they're too heavy for hillwalking!) and I won't 
have time for frequent lens changing.

Lovely lens for shooting concerts and rehearsals, for portraits and general 
low-light work, but it's like a bazooka after using primes, and can be a bit 
obtrusive: not really for street work or candids! 

If I need longer, I find that the 55-300 is fine for the little use it gets.  I 
haven't been tempted by the 60-250 (yet).

Paul

 Sure do.
 
 I bought one (to complement my 16-50 on the K10D) just before the price
 went up.  Those two lenses (plus the K10D) are what I take with me for
 almost anything (sometimes the E-PL1 wins out because of portability).
 
 Anecdotally, I think I've seen more problems reported with the SDM on
 that lens than on any other, but my personal experience has been free
 of any problems.
 
 When I do get round to picking up a 60-250, though, I suspect that the
 50-135 will see less use.  Bujt until then I trust it will continue to
 serve me well.

 Bugger.  What happened to the stuff?

AFAIK, things were sold off piecemeal.  Lots of items were worse for wear: the 
place was damp and unheated, and I guess everything needed a thorough overhaul 
when it reached its new home.

I haven't visited the recently opened (last two or three years...) m/c museum 
in Kirk Michael yet (Traaie di liooar[1]), but I'm assured it's worth a visit.

The Bungalow (the site of the Murray's Museum) looks like this now:

 Pity.  Most of the stuff in there was genuine historical artefact rather than 
 restored.  Just a different perspective 8-)

Indeed.  But if you had seen the state of the historical artefacts when I last 
did, you may well have wept.  I nearly did.  They at least deserved to be 
preserved, not left to rot.  

The KM folk, who may or may not be in cahoots with the owners of the collection 
at Milntown (which is not on public display yet), seem to keep their collection 
on the road - I often see old bikes riding in convoy, and grand it sounds.  I'm 
fairly sure I've seen some of the Milntown horde riding out, too.  For me, this 
is a better option.  Unrestored racebikes are on show most TT and MGP weeks: 
the best of both worlds?

Hi, Mark,

I've lived there for 30 years.  If I can help nearer the time, let me know.

Godfrey visits when he can, so he probably knows more about the place than I do 
;-)

2011 TT dates are 30th May - 10th June.  http://www.iomtt.com/en/TT-2011.aspx

Re: Leica's done with film

[Paul Dunderdale]

Crumpets are a North(west) of England thing.  They are made from a yeast 
batter, and cooked in such a way that the upper surface is pitted with holes 
(from the fermentation).  Mum always says that crumpets should be served with 
an egg in every hole.  She served them with an excess of butter (they don't so 
much soak up more butter as act as a sump (the vertical holes) and a 
lightly poached egg (hence the egg (yolk) in every hole

The crumpets that brave the Irish Sea and arrive at my table are a pale shadow 
of those delectable Crumpets Of My Youth.  I have tried to make my own, but 
haven't yet achieved adequacy.  There are hidden depths to crumpets.  I'm sure 
Cotty would concur.

 Yes, a crumpet soaks up more butter than an english muffin, and it has a 
 richer flavor -- perhaps more egg. All in all, it's superior.

Nice shot!  He looks as interested in what you were up to as you were

Gill and I have just got in from a - get this - reception at  
Government House.  Drinkies and nibbles with the great and good!   
Don't know how we made it up the drive, let alone through the front  
door.  What a farce these things are.  Enough to make me a (European,  
NOT 'murrican) republican.

 Great, now we need a spam filter on the PDML. When it gets to Mr
 Ognebeybeha offering us his Botsawanan millions, I'm unsubbing ;-)

/delurk

First, my *humble* apologies for disturbing your Wa.  I have been  
lurking hereabouts for a few weeks, but haven't, until now, felt in  
any way discombobulated.  How the post from Godfrey came to be in my  
inbox instead of being safely filtered to the pdml folder is one of  
those - many - little computer miracles that are beyond me.

By way of introduction, Hello.  My usual habitat is Godfrey's PAW and  
SeePhoto lists.  I'm quite new to photography, proof of this is  
plainly visible at:  http://homepage.mac.com/pauldunderdale/Menu2.html

My millions are few, even when counted in groats, and are located not  
many miles away in a convenient off-shore tax haven.

There is no need to unsub on my account.  Honest.

However, the Manx Government *is* causing significant concern, and  
the only way I can satisfy my LBA is to smuggle my groats out of the  
system.  If any nice person out there would like to help, I will  
happily donate 10% to any charity of their choice on receipt of their  
verified bank details, their credit card PIN numbers, and their car  
keys.

Mr Ognebeybeha is, by the way, and exceedingly kind bloke.
