Have you seen the old bulb?  I'm not 100% confident that's the right type
of bulb.  If it's one of the bulbs on this page with built-in reflector,
they look cheaper:

"Wi-Fi 6" is the latest standard, and one of the noted improvements they
made with that standard was it's ability to communicate with many devices
simultaneously.  If you're going to upgrade now, look for Wi-Fi 6.

Re: OT: Music

I think I was a little confused about the models. This one is pretty much
what i described, but about $350:
Edifier S1000DB Audiophile Active Bookshelf Speakers
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CDIS6M0/ref=cm_sw_r_em_taa_QZyWAb274S1JE
Look at their other models, too.

This is what I ended up putting on my wishlist. It's no longer available on
Amazon, but I'm sure you can find it on eBay, if not elsewhere:
Kanto YUMI Premium Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Wireless Bluetooth 4.0
aptX Technology – Gloss White

I've heard that style called a 'donk'.  I have no idea where that name came
from, so I googled it and there's a Wikipedia entry!  I still don't know
where the name came from.

I've found that Dan's links often append the 'K-5' from the next line into

Re: Semi-OT: Maybe getting a new laptop?

2017-05-27 Thread Richard Klein
If you want everything preconfigured and you don't want to do it yourself,
I'm not sure Linux is the best choice for you.

With that said, I think Dell sells computers with Linux preinstalled. I'd
guess it's Red Hat Linux, but I haven't checked.

I use and love Linux. I've also had good luck with Windows. I still own 3
Macs, though I don't use them. None of the operating systems are magic.
They're all pretty good these days, but you can still run into problems
with any of them.

If I were you, I'd give Windows another shot, unless you didn't like the
way it does things when things do work. I'd probably avoid getting another
Toshiba simply because they're having some serious financial problems these
days.

Finally, Clippit the paper clip was never a part of any operating system;
it was part of Office.

This issue of Ebony from 1972 has lots of amazing pictures of their new
headquarters in Chicago.

While not Pentax-specific, there are pictures of their photo studio and lab
on pages 94 & 95.

Re: Quick and dirty geso 1970 Challenger WSS

2016-12-10 Thread Richard Klein
Neat! I've never heard of the WSS. There were some interesting regional
option packages back in the day.

The article mentions that the WSS came with a vinyl roof. Do you know if
your friend removed the vinyl, or was it possible to get the WSS without
that feature?

2003-07-15 Thread Richard Klein
I've only had one lense since I bought my SF-10 in 2000: an F 35-70/3.5-4.5.  I 
ordered an M 75-150/4 from Adorama and it showed up last week.  I was getting rather 
frustrated with the new lense because I could only focus it by turning what I thought 
was the zoom ring, and I couldn't find the narrow focusing ring that I was used to.  I 
just realized this morning that the wide (***wide***) ring is the focusing ring, and 
you don't twist anything to zoom in/out; you just slide the focusing ring in/out.  :-)

Seeing as this is the first lense I've bought independent of a body, I don't have much 
frame of reference to evaluate this new purchase, but I had no problems with Adorama, 
and the only fault I can find with the lense is a small scratch in the black lacquer 
on the lense hood.

2001 All-Ford Nationals at Carlisle

2001-11-04 Thread Richard Klein

I just posted some new pictures on my website:
http://rich.richardklein.org/images/index.html

Sadly, they were taken with a free promotional camera (which, 
thanks to this list, I now know was a rangefinder) that I received 
from some cigarette company.  Two days after shooting these 
pictures the winder stopped working and I decided it was time to 
buy a "real" camera.  That's when I got my SF-10.

Most of the pictures are discolored along the left side.  Is that what 
light leakage looks like?

The images are un-retouched; not cropped or anything.  They look 
much better when I simply use the auto-level feature in PhotoShop, 
but I figure you can tweak the pictures however you like.

Oh yeah, they made prints.  I took the prints because they were making them
anyway, and I'm hoping to find some time today to try scanning them myself.
I thought they'd have better scanners, though, and more scanning experience.
I didn't think about whether they were making the CD from the prints or from
the negatives.  Perhaps if I ask the right questions they'd scan straight
from the negatives next time.

I tried getting a roll of film developed straight to a CD for the first time
yesterday.  I forget the brand name, but it wasn't a Kodak PhotoCD.  The
files on the CD were .jpg images, approximately 1480x1035, 24-bit color.  I
was a bit disappointed because that resolution doesn't allow for much
zooming and cropping before you run into blatant pixellation.  Is this the
same for all photo CDs, or could I do better going with another lab?

RE: Favorite Film Roll Call Results UPDATE 28

2001-10-03 Thread Richard Klein

That's exactly why I asked: I don't know which ones are slide and which are
print films.

If I usually just want to get a picture into my computer for web, email, or
other use is there any benefit in using slide film versus print film?

RE: Images or Photographs

2001-09-26 Thread Richard Klein

I doubt that Ansel Adams had a digital camera, so he probably had some
photo-sensitive (phototropic?) material in his camera and was thus taking
photographs.  If they have since digitized his photographs and are printing
them on Iris inkjet printers then they are no doubt gorgeous reproductions
of his photographs.  If you want to say that because the image was captured
with photo-sensitive materials even the reproductions would be photographs,
well...  I'll go along with that if I'm in a good mood.  But the Iris prints
wouldn't be photographs just because they look as good as a photograph.

Yeah, OK, we're not disagreeing then.  The current Ansel Adams prints are
not photographs, but they are reproductions of his original photographs.  He
committed them to film way back when, right?  But you wouldn't get the
prints from the lab in a coffee table book; you'd get a mass-produced

RE: Images or Photographs

2001-09-25 Thread Richard Klein

The word photograph suggests to me a picture (image!) made via a
light-sensitive process.  Film is light sensitive.  CCDs are light
sensitive, but are the phosphors on a monitor?  They glow because of
non-visible radiation, right?  Printer paper certainly isn't light-sensitive
(ignoring the yellowing caused by UV exposure).  Anyways, I consider
photographs, and probably pictures, to be subsets of images, just one
particular type of image.

I believe a Farthing is 2e+10 Nearthings.

BTW, yes, I am new here.  I used to take a lot of pictures with a cheap 110
camera when I was a pre-adolescent but have had very little to do with
photography since then.  I picked up an SF-10 in June and intend to mostly
lurk here and try to learn a thing or two.
