Trekked down to The Pilot Tavern in Toronto's trendy Yorkville area this aft to catch some of Canada's jazz A-listers slumming it. Barry Elmes, Artie Roth, Kelly Jefferson, and Lorne Lofsky putting their stamp on standards -- it gets no better than this. But what really took me by surprise was

Love it, Bruce. The Super Takumar was probably a 135mm f2.5. I don't think a f2.8 was made in that focal length. The f3.5 is much narrower (49mm filter size). On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 6:43 PM, Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com wrote: Trekked down to The Pilot Tavern in Toronto's trendy

It looked a great deal like either of these guys, http://whitemetal.com/pentax/st_135_25/index.htm http://whitemetal.com/pentax/st_135_35_a/index.htm but it looked like it nicely covered the whole face of the mount area, so it may have been the larger diameter 2.5. On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 8:24

I went to a concert at a small club on Monday evening. John Vanderslice and Tallest Man on Earth. I only saw two other DSLRs in there besides mine - both were K200Ds! The one woman who was standing right next to me was shooting with the K200D and an old f1.7/50mm-A lens. Towards the end

I noticed a billboard just outside of Perth (Ontario) when I was driving by last weekend. Picture shows a hand picking up a DS, and some comments about reasons to buy Pentax. I think it was the same as in the full page add in this month's Photo Life. (I don't have it here at work, or I'd give

It's probably the same one I've seen round here. Sort of odd-looking 50s retro look. (That's how I see it anyway :-) ). A couple of times I've meant to stop and take a picture of it. There's a billboard on the road to the airport. Happened to be going there ths morning and noticed it. Meant to

The word Pentax was sighted, anyway... I'm crossing the Don Valley Parkway, one of Toronto's busiest and most congested controlled access highways, and in a ~very~ prominent spot (atop the old Lever factory between Queen and Richmond, for any locals) there's a huge Pentax billboard ad. Every one

On Thursday night, I went to the annual banquet of the Victoria Camera Club, and as it happened, the two other photographers at my table were both PZ-1 users. I had my MZ-S along to take pictures of a couple of speakers, and they were pleased to see it, with one chap commenting on his high
