  • "We all gotta die of something."The shutter survival info for the K5 is very favorable. I've got a 50/50 shot at hitting 1,000,000 shots. With that said, it could die tomorrow.
  • About 2.5 hours. I used low speed continuous shooting. So about 140 frames / minute. I then stacked these into groups of 10. This reduces noise and flicker, and gets it down to the 45...
  • A comparatively decent sunset.   http://vimeo.com/67703964 Shot as 4500 stills on K-5 with s-m-c Takumar 85/1.8 These are the colors as shot,   I normally dial them up a bit.   But it seemed...
  • You have made a terrible mistake.   Please send your camera to me and I will give it a good home and accept its ker-clunk noise.   I have approximately 500,000 shots on my K-5... which I suspect is...
  • Lloyd, That is crazy!   Love it!   ( That would have been worth adding a few K to the shutter count as a time lapse. )   Love the boiling clouds.   The only thing missing is the alien mother ship!
  • There are various optical design compromises that are made to get a faster lens.   So sometimes a slower lens can be optically better or the same than a fast lens at the same apertures.  (...
  • Wow...   those are great!   In a way its a statistics game.   Even with .5% keepers, all you need is 200 shots.
  • That's what I was thinking.  But even so, 5 seconds is a LONG time even for the lens correction. In continuous shooting mode, does the camera sit there for 5 seconds between shots?   Is this with...
  • "Worst portrait ever!" was what I was thinking.   Its unflattering, over exposed, and the focal plane is poorly managed.  Other than that, its great.
  • Yeah.... don't waste your money.   About the only use case for a polarizer is managing the specular reflections of smooth surfaces.  Period.    Sometimes, and I mean rarely, you need it for ornery...
  • Question: what you you trying to accomplish, specifically?   IIRC, this absolute sharpening script is for re-sampling images, and involved a rather non-rigorous process of down-sampling then...
  • Just curious...  for what subjects do you need a polarizer when shooting with a 14mm?    At 14mm, not only is the sky a problem, but large bodies of water and even reflections from foliage will...
  • Who has voluntarily used a GIF in the last decade anyway?

    As far as hard vs soft "G" he's wrong, its hard G. Any other pronunciation makes you look like a moron. Perhaps we can start calling...

  • The helicoid or whatever the focus mechanism is in this model will be lubricated, but of course that was 20-30 years ago.   Sometimes just gently working the problematic spot will work the grease...
  • The trees are teriffic, looks like something from Harry Potter...
  • Interesting place, for sure. I found the bleached / blown out images not very pleasant, however.   Were these shot this way?   Or something done in post?
  • My pet peeve is people who use term "pet peeve." Boom!   Just tore a hole in the Universe.
  • Let me rephrase that... Pentax needs to: 1. Listen to the customer 2. Make their firmware features as innovative as their hardware. 3. Re-envision the relationship with the customer. For whatever...
  • What they need to do is (A) listen to the customer (B) implement any "easy to do in firmware" features Examples: Average metering ( Fuji has this, EXTREMELY USEFUL ) Lens profiles.   Let me...
  • I use a tripod that was being thrown in the garbage by our AV department.....   I do pay attention to locating the camera on the nodal point to minimize parallax.  Only when you have near field...
