FS Friday - *istD plus accessories

2010-03-05 Thread Steve Sharpe
I'm selling my *istD, battery grip, CF cards, NiMH batteries and 
charger. Beautiful condition, less than 3200 actuations.


http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-cameras-camcorders-Pentax-istD-DSLR-accessories-W0QQAdIdZ177848717

Price for PDML people is $250...Canadian funds if you are in Canada, 
US funds if you are somewhere else. Shipping is extra.


Thanks!

Yes, the D is quite IR sensitive (all the 6MP bodies are). Only an IR
filter is required although you can get the body modified to be a pure
IR cameras.

You can shoot IR with the *ist-D using IR filters.

A conversion is available, but it might cost more than the camera. OTOH, 
if you're handy with a soldering iron ...

So all this talk about IR photography has me wondering: is the *istD 
better for it than the K20d? If so, then maybe I should hang onto it 
and buy an infrared filter!

Yes, the *ist series and K1xD series are all far more sensitive to IR
than later cameras. IR sensitivity in digital is nomally not a good
thing as it causes colour issues, especially in mixed-material blacks

Re: FS Friday - *istD plus accessories

2010-03-07 Thread Toine
Thanks for this info. Opening the istD should be easy. My biggest
concern was removing the installed filter, on the istD this looks
"easy". The filter used in this mod is for astrophotography. We would
need a R72 filter above the antialias filter. As soon as I have found
such a filter I will plug in the soldering iron!

Hi Adam,

This is good to know.  I have plans of my K10D becoming an IR camera
once it is retired from active use.  I have 2 *istD's which one day
will become a stereo camera setup.

I have no idea what I will do with my old digitals after that.  I may
need to stop buying new ones.

I'll sell you mine, Only $200 US with everything in the original Box 
except the eye cup.  It disappeared sometime around the second month I 
owned it.  I'd give you the one from the *ist-Ds but the dog chewed it 
up.  I'll even throw in two CF, (one dog chewed but it still works), 
cards, for 1.5 gigs of storage .  Now the bad part, the stop down 
metering only intermittently works, same with DOF which doesn't surprise 
me as they are both related.  It would cost more to fix than it's worth 
and I'm not yet brave enough to open her up to see if something simple

And, in the dept. of "damn, who knew"  I found the AC adaptor I
thought might be useful long ago.  Also the original box and manual.
I really should check this drawer more often.

When I use a battery grip people mistake me for a pro, and girls 
flirt with me. Too bad the current crop of grips don't make that 
lovely CLICK-IZZ noise like my old motor drive A used to.

so right... LOL
I still have my old Canon AE-1p with motor Drive MA and I work them
once a month (too bad even that didn't keep the AE from getting
shutter asthma) and the sound of 5 fps is just too sweet. and that is
with a cloth shutter...

Steve.

I used my istD for IR photos solely, after getting my K10D. It worked
very well with the Hoya R72 filter. I had no intentions of opening the
camera up and putting a filter inside, i wanted to use the camera
again.

My istD and Nikon D1 did a good job, but as the MP went up, on both
Pentax and Nikon cameras, the sensativity seemed to go down.

I sold my istD after i bought my G3 off ebay that was conveted to IR.
Should have kept it as the G3 is not wide enough at times.

Here is the shot from the istD in 2006 that won me a 2nd place prize.
Just out side of the entrance gate

I actually have one of those too.  I sometimes use it with the Ds when 
tethered, (which dispite what Pentax says, works fairly well).
