Santa Dropped by my house last night
Santa came by last night and asked me if they had a power grip for the *ist ds. I told him i didn't know but I would look into it. While he was there he dropped off an ipod shuffle, a stand for the ipod, two gift cards for the ipod, speakers for the ipod and my favorite a Sekonic light meter. It is the Sekonic Auto-Leader model l-188. I think i am going to have a lot of fun with it. Hopefully it will make the pictures of Sami a bit better. Hope Santa is as nice to you as he was to me already this year.
Re: Santa Dropped by my house last night
Pentax does not make a power grip for the DS, DL or DS2 bodies. The connections required, like with the D body, do not exist on these bodies. A Korean firm is making a battery holder/grip accessory but I have yet to hear of anyone successfully obtaining one.

Re: Santa dropped by ...
I have really enjoyed reading this thread - it is lovely to hear what everybody gave and received for Christmas... I received exactly four gifts for Christmas. One from my hubby and one from each of my kids. I went shopping in a town an hour from here (it is called Emerald) the week before Christmas, and bought myself two new books and two pairs of shorts, which I then felt guilty about so I gave them to my hubby and told him to wrap them and have the kids give them to me for Chrissy gifts. lol. Unfortunately, due to being the control freak that I am, I rarely receive surprises or gifts from people as I generally control the money in our family and so my poor hubby has to tell me when he needs money for anything, and so I can never be surprised! Likewise, he has said a number of times, would you like something for your photography for christmas/birthday etc? to which I have always replied no way, you'll buy me something that I can't use/that isn't needed etc or worse still, knowing him, it would be something very cheap and nasty! lol.. So, anyways, the books that I received are by Anne Geddes. I am sure that you all know who she is, and for those who don't, just google her name, and you'll soon find out. I LOVE her work, and I am sure that as soon as you see it, you will all understand why. It is so very ME~! These two new books entitled PURE and UNTIL NOW are now taking pride of place near my 'puter and will soon become very worn out reference manuals, as I love to use her work as inspiration for mine... (ok, no lectures about copyright/plagurism etc, I don't ever like to copy her stuff, in fact, I like to check what she HAS done and then do things that I know that she HASN'T, iykwim?) I bought a DVD player for my hubby, who then spent most of Christmas Day swearing at it, until I came in and after reading TWO pages of the manual, pressed 3 buttons on the remote control and BAM, it worked! lol... So we spent the afternoon watching Matrix Reloaded and blowing our eardrums to smitherins with Dolby Prologic Surround Sound. I also made the mistake of allowing SANTA to bring the kids Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on DVD, and if I hear one more Ooompa Loompa song, I am going to scream! lol... tan. - Original Message - From: frank theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 11:39 AM Subject: Re: Santa dropped by ...

Re: Santa dropped by ...
I didn't really get much photo-related this year either. There was a little case for my Optio, and that was IT for photo-related items in packages. (I had requested the little Optio case. I hadn't requested anything else photographic.) Wouldn't have MINDED opening a package to find an *ist D inside, and the whole family knew that, but somehow I rather figured that was not going to happen. Something to do with having an idea of the budget ... I did receive some other neat stuff that had nothing to do with photography. Also, some friends gave me a Barnes Noble gift card, so naturally I went off in search of a book of pictures: the HEAVILY-discounted America 24/7. Mostly it was fun watching the excitement levels in my children, especially the younger. I think this is the first year she has been able to anticipate Christmas and kind of understand what's going on.

Re: Santa dropped by ...
LMAO! OMG, that is too funny frank! You are a crack up! Ok, well, I too, don't really go for the babies in flowerpots/furry animal thing, BUT Anne's photography has evolved alot in the past few years. Her new book Pure is just phenomenal. Technically great yes, but every shot is a work of art, and now she shoots mainly black and white, or at least with muted colours, and her stuff is so much less gimmicky now than it was five years ago. Simple, creative, and candid, those are the things that I love about her work... Maybe we should dress frank up in a said furry animal costume, and he can model for me, after all frank, you *did* make a very cute reindeer! lol... tan. - Original Message - From: frank theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 9:57 AM Subject: Re: Santa dropped by ...

Re: Santa dropped by....
Hi, Finally returned from visiting both my parents and the outlaws (anyone else have to eat two Christmas dinners in one day?) with a jolly super present. A copy of the Army and Navy Stores catalogue for 1939-40. For those who don't know, this was (is?) an organisation set up in the 1870s to provide basic goods and luxuries to those who became members. It was a kind of co-operative society. Membership was limited to those enlisted in (or otherwise associated to) the British armed forces. This is a 1200 page book (reduced size copy) and has (almost) every conceivable requirement for someone serving, at home or abroad. So I immediately turn to Photography, page 906, to see what's there. No Japanese cameras; Kodak, Voightlander, Ensign, Zeiss (Contax), Agfa Leica, Rollei only. Ensign are lsited as Made in England, Zeiss, Agfa, Rollei and Leica are listed as Foreign but, oddly, Voightlander is not given a production location. Some meters and albums; a couple of tripods. No film, unsuprisingly, as goods were sent wherever the member was on service. As this might involve journeys of some months, through extremes of temperature, it was probably decided that it was an unsuitable product for supply from home. So, this week's starter for 10 points; In 1939, what was the price of a Leica IIIb with Elmar 5cm/f3.5? Answer in real money (pounds, shillings, pence) tomorrow. Anyone get any decent cracker jokes? Best one for me so far is: What do felines sleep on? Caterpillars. Apologies to non-native speakers mike

RE: Santa dropped by ...
My husband enabled with me with the Canon S45 I've been wanting. So far I'm really pleased with it. It will probably replace my Optio 230 as my carry-everywhere camera. It's nice and heavy and it's ridiculously easy to use its advanced features. I can't wait to start shooting in RAW. Almost more importantly though, is the fact that my mom loved the Kodak Easyshare 6230 we got her. She seems to get along with it and the shots taken with it look great. I highly recommend this camera for anyone looking for a dummy-proof digital PS for someone. Hope everyone had a terrific holiday! Amita
Re: Santa dropped by ...with the 31mm Limited lens ..lovely!!
Hi Kevin, Very interesting obviously it`s rather difficult to tell images on the monitor but it seems that the FA 501.4 has smoother background blur judging by the white sign and the edges of the ocean blending into the horizon. Just ever so slight to the other two lenses. Your sample of 50mm f1.4 lens seems typical to mine as for contrast rendition which is a bit soft and is normal for a fast lens while the other two is a tad bit snappier in contrast if we didn`t have any comparisons it`ll be rather difficult to tell them apart. They`re all nice lenses with slightly different flavours. Your 50mm M 1.7 seems to be biased to cyan or cooler while your 50mm A f2 seems biased to magenta or reds while the 50mm FA 1.4 seems more neutral maybe all this has to do with exposure.

Hi, Strange I didn`t get William Robb`s message in my mail so this will answer to William R. and Anthony Farr. Point taken but maybe it`s because film is now last priority regarding updating film cameras and I fully agree that Pentax is a conservative company. What Pentax often does is either let a product sit and get as much out of it or quickly tweak the product such examples are ES and ES11 and Me and Me super and so on but now that digital cameras seem to be the hot cakes of the industry perhaps this IST D will be quickly tweaked to keep up with the other companies or if not they will bring on more Digital camera models.

CAUTION: these images are 2 Megs in size, links to the smaller images are below. 1) SMC Pentax FA 50mm 1:1.4-22 http://www.wildcherry.com.au/lens/FA50mm.jpg http://www.wildcherry.com.au/lens/FA50mm.small.jpg 2) SMC Pentax-A 1:2 50mm http://www.wildcherry.com.au/lens/A50mm.jpg http://www.wildcherry.com.au/lens/A50mm.small.jpg 3) SMC Pentax-M 1:1.7 50mm http://www.wildcherry.com.au/lens/M50mm.jpg http://www.wildcherry.com.au/lens/M50mm.small.jpg Kind regards Kevin -- __ (_ \ _) ) | / / _ ) / _ | / ___) / _ ) | | ( (/ / ( ( | |( (___ ( (/ / |_| \) \_||_| \) \) Kevin Waterson Port Macquarie, Australia

Santa, he comes on the evening of the 24th here, concentrated on the kids, but UPS had dropped a nice FA100 f/2.8 macro earlier the same day so he was forgiven DagT På 25. des. 2003 kl. 16.49 skrev Shel Belinkoff: and left a brick of Ektachrome E100G and a brick of E100GX, plus a neat book, The Tao of Photography.

Re: Santa dropped by ...with the 31mm Limited lens ..lovely!!
So, yes my Limited collection is now complete...now I`m just eyeing that new dang fangled IST D for next year or will there be a new improved model as Pentax often likes to upgrade camera bodies usually in a years time such as the ZX5 and then the ZX5N.

I hope you all got something that puts a little joy in your heart ... One may say that Santa (in image of our CEO grin) brought me a little something too. It was IR remote control for my ZX-L. Worked perfectly. It did put proportional amount of joy in my heart grin... Boris _ Get 10Mb extra storage for MSN Hotmail. Subscribe Now! http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-hk

- Original Message - From: William R. Subject: Re: Santa dropped by ...with the 31mm Limited lens ..lovely!! May I ask what is the other . I`m kinda slow;-) That was my point. There was no other. Pentax actually is pretty conservative about replacing cameras with entirely new ones. They really seem to like to get the maximum milage possible out of a product before replacing it. I am not sure how this will translate with DSLR's. The entire MZ series (MZ-S excepted) is the same camera. All they have done is to change the feature set to make them more upscale or less. I expect they even share all the same circuit boards, as well as mechanicals. I know that there have been unofficial indications about a bunch of new DSLR cameras coming out almost immediately. We'll see what they do when they do it, but I think the ist D is going to be the only choice from Pentax in this quality range for a couple of years. William Robb
