Wondering about Jack
I know that he was having a tough year even before the first of the fires in his neighborhood, and now there’s another one.

Re: I was wondering ...
Also if the Pixel size is smaller than the wave length of light that one is attempting to captured, you'll miss an awful lot of light in that wavelength. (I'm not sure how perverse the universe is, I'm betting on maximum amount of perversity here, in that if what will benefit more one more in this case is if light works as a packet, so of course here it will act as a wave.

It's like Toyota introducing the Avalon as a sales step between Camry & Lexus. Many are happy with the 24MP K3 class of camera. But we all know the improvement in image formation on larger sensors. A 24MP FF would meet that need though the price would probably be higher. (This is evident in Bill Gekas' shots w/ the 645 vs the smaller sensor. It makes a difference.) And the older the smaller sensor gets the more its price will drop as a commodity. A $400 or so price difference is enough to allow good customer choice. If it were a $200 difference I would agree. But that's speculation. We'll just have to wait and see. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: I was wondering ...
Do you mean like two full-frame models with different Mpx count sensors? What sensors would be available for Ricoh to use for new Pentax DSLR cameras? I'm thinking the 42Mpx Sony sensor was chosen because Sony was willing to sell it to Ricoh in the quantities Ricoh wants for the projected Pentax FF DSLR. Would new full-frame models with 24Mpx or 36Mpx undercut the sales of the putative 42Mpx full-frame Pentax DSLR? The K3 is already 24Mpx. Would prospective buyers see a 24Mpx FF DSLR from Pentax as a step up or a step back or a step sideways? I think Nikon uses a 36Mpx Sony sensor in the D800.

They've been back since the K10D and K100D Super, delivering power to the SDM lenses and re-enabling basic PZ functionality. -Adam On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 8:13 AM, Collin Brendemuehl wrote: > Boris, > > I hadn't taken note of those same pins in my K-x. > But there they are !!! > > Sincerely, > > Collin Brendemuehl > http://kerygmainstitute.org > > "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose" > -- Jim Elliott > > > > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- M.

As far as I understand, these pins are used to drive the SDM motor. On 11/21/2010 3:13 PM, Collin Brendemuehl wrote: Boris, I hadn't taken note of those same pins in my K-x. But there they are !!!

Re: I was wondering ...
Collin, my understanding that all cameras from K10D through K-5 (K20D, K-7) are supporting some basic PZ operations such as lens retract when camera is turned off. However, it also seems to me that this is where it ends. None of the modern cameras fully support PZ (zoom tracking, etc). So, it could be just as well that K-5 remains K-5.

Re: New guy in town wondering about PZ-1p fill flash
Hi, welcome on the list, Leon. Finally another slovenian member. :-) I hope you will enjoy PDML. I'm really busy lately so I don't contribute much to the list, but I sure was glad to see your name appering here. Welcome. Matjaz P.S.: Se malo slovenscine, saj je redka: lep pozdrav prav tako iz Ljubljane torej. Jutri ravno odjadram na dopust, tako da me ne bo kaj dosti na listi, ampak konec meseca pa se lahko kaj slisimo oziroma beremo.
