That's very good news, and also indicates that Sigma lens owners may be able to get CDAF with their older lenses at some point, like they could on Nikon and Canon bodies with CDAF. -Adam On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Anthony Farr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ... especially if your camera and

Thanks, Bill. That is very strange, indeed. When I decided to post it to the list, I simply removed the apostrophe (possessive sense) and back spaced to move the TV to the left to eliminate the space. When I just now looked, that image was not in my PEG file and I found it in the recycle bin

If anyone is interested, this is a full res file off the D3, complete with EXIF. I was mistaken about the ISO, it was actually shot at 1250 ISO. I was asked to make the child unrecognizable before posting. The other two guys carry guns, so I guess they aren't worried. It's about a 5mb JPEG,

Thanks Ken. After looking at the link you provided, I don't think Panorama Maker supports system 10.5 on a Mac, and I'm running the new system now. I once purchased PM software only to find it didn't support system 10.4. Arcsoft wouldn't refund my money but eventually issued an upgrade.

EXIF data on Pentax

Further searching of the EXIF data in Aperture on my three cameras (K100, K10, and K20) brings up some interesting information. Using Aperture 2.x, my K100 stopped getting lens model data through to this software on August 25th. My K10 lens model data stopped as of July 17th. And my K20

I have Apple looking into this problem now. From what I've been able to gather from Pentax the lenses, any recent ones (F, FA, FA J, DA, DA*) have a code embedded in the lens firmware. The camera has a lookup table to tell it what lens it is. It includes more than Pentax lenses, but I

That went around on the FourThirds forums yesterday. Great stuff, really. I updated both L1s, both E-1s and all my Olympus and Panasonic/ Leica lenses today. Smooth and simple. I suspect this is done in preparation for the release of Panasonic's G1 and other upcoming micro4/3 cameras.

EXIFtool will read all DNG, PEF and JPEG files. It's the best. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ You run it from the Terminal. cd to the directory where your files are located. Then a command like exiftool -s -s -LensType -FocalLength */*.PEF PEF_LensTypes.txt will read the .PEF
