Well here's an example of what I mean about the K-5IIs bringing out the best in old lenses--in this case, the Adaptall SP 300/5.6 (54B)

That's quite nice and quite tempting, too ... J

@dadipentak, will you stop that?! We're trying to get JP out of the thrift shops. You know, more time shooting, less time haggling.



But yes, you do have a point

Thank you for caring ... and I had another (big) score today when I passed by coming home ... "film @ 11" ... or maybe tomorrow on "Acquisitions" thread ... J

And "Yes" ... dadipentak always has a point ...

[Kerrowdown]

Like you got anything that made any sense out of me before?

I was just being polite.

Just got the battery, grip, and 31 moved over from the K-5 and the menus as settings adjusted to my liking. Taking the kids to my brother in law's place to see their new lab pup and will see how this new AF system works in low light. Focus does seem faster. I'll play with te camera later. Watching the US/Canada game on DVR right now.

So, did you sleep last night ... or were too excited to catch 40 winks ? And I agree with Ron on th K-10, the CCD's are great sometimes ... gonna hang on to the good ol' K110D ... J

Actually yes I did sleep.

Went to bed early.

I had to get up at 4am to go pick up two rudder sections for the Drreamilner at the factory in Puyallup, WA headed for the Dreamilner plant in North Charleston, SC.

Oversize.

[dadipentak]

Oversize.

Woo-hoo! Escort w/flashing lights & flags?

[Racer X 69]

You just had to spoil it, didn't you.

Yah, sorry But, make no mistake, I'm always in favor of buying lenses--as in, "Oh, look, it's a cloudy morning--I guess I'll buy a lens!"

And "There is no such thing as an overlap in a lens line-up"

Definitely ... take from example my Adaptall-2 zoom collection ... well, then again, maybe that's not a good example J

I think you might have some more examples that shouldn't be mentioned!

Not to mention, but I can show'em to ya ... (wearing trench coat) J

Not that big. Only 80 feet 6 inches long overall.

Baby Oversize!



Pictures soon to come!

The parcel was supposedly delayed by the "bad" weather in Illinois for 3 days. The tracking showed it sitting at a UPS hub near Chicago from last Thursday until Monday of this week. The thing is, I was within 15 miles of the UPS hub in Chicago last Thursday and although it was about 15 degrees out, the weather was sunny.

Frustrating, ain't it. The only thing worse is when YOU can't "get out of Chicago" due to bad weather when as any fool can plainly see there's not a cloud in the sky. What's not so obvious is ya can't see that the wagon you were supposed to ride out of town on is weathered in at its last stop on the East Coast a thousand miles away. As UPS sez, "It's all in the Logistics".

One of the finest examples of unseen weather consequences was on the day Denver's hub at DIA opened with multiple simultaneous instrument approaches and departures (versus the one-at-a-time cue at Stapleton) both airline AND package delays were noticeably and permanently reduced at every major airport across the nation and internationally as well.


(Chain 'em up! But, but . . . It's 60 deg. and sunny just 100 miles west of here in Seattle.)
