RE: Pentax K 28mm f2.0 Lens

ARE YOU RETARDED? Listen you thickhead, the very fact that these DSLR bodies DO NOT actuate M42 lenses autoapertures by the body is why the cameras metering system works correctly all the time. Its a non factor on these cameras because the aperture at exposure is the same as aperture during meteri

I'd expect the K1D to have it, if that proves real. I never expect to see one on a sub-$1500 camera. -Adam Paul Stenquist wrote: > I didn't use to think they would add an aperture simulator, but I do > now. Partly in response to demand, partly as a way of adding more > value to another APS-C

Re: Tuolumne Meadows

A bit too contrasty for my liking. Fairly nice composition tho. Cries out for better light. Like around sunrise or sunset. Kenneth Waller - Original Message - From: "Peter Lacus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PESO: Tuolumne Meadows > Hi, > > just a remembrance to my Southwest trip.

Re: Pentax K 28mm f2.0 Lens

One of the many reasons I like the adaptors is I can get a couple cheap ones and then my lenses are bayonet, and much easier to mount. Caps are nice, but in a pinch, the lens goes in the bag with no caps when swapping lenses. I'd rather take the risk than miss the shot. -Adam Godfrey DiGiorgi

At the edge of San Francisco, right at the ocean, is a place that is called Land's End. There was an old outpost there Called Fort Miley. They have built a walking trail along the coastline and out on one of the points, this labyrinth was made by some individuals. I played around with the image
