Maybe so.
I am still glad that someone takes these photos.
Despite being allowing me a voyeuristic look at their lives, it gives me an appreciation for what their lives must be like.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Hinman,

Since you are selling off your manual focus takumars what will you be using for lenses?

I have switched from pentax to fuji. I'm enjoying the fuji lenses quite a bit but also can't resist using my takumars from time to time.

Mike,

wow wow wow, what a terrible story. I sure will think 3 times about not washing little scrapes from now on.

I know punctures from rusty metal are typically associated with tetanus / lock jaw. But I have never heard anything like you described.

I recently picked up the SMC version of the Tak 105. Here's a shot that I am pretty pleased with:

Nice bunch of bikes. I'd have fun riding any of them. Nice shots, too.

files on hard drive damaged?

I have experienced the same issue. Like you, I would back up my photos to various hard drives.
At some point a bunch of my files got corrupted. Very annoying and pretty painful.
I think I have finally managed to hunt down and replace all of the (important) corrupted files.

I wish I knew what caused the corruption in the first place.

Tips:

1. Try using various programs to open the corrupted files. Surprisingly, I saw different results depending on what program I used. Try your IE browser, try windows picture and fax viewer, quicktime pictureviewer, paint, google chrome, microsoft picture viewer, etc. This may help you figure out what your corrupted files used to contain.

2. Cleaning up the mess of duplicate files: ever since the corruption I started accruing bunches of copies of my various drives, and in the end I had quite a mess of dupes to sort through. I finally tried out a program called "duplicate cleaner" by digital volcano. There is a free version which worked so well that I decided I'd happily pay $30 for full version. I can't recommend it enough. It has saved me literally days worth of time to dedupe my files. It lets you dedupe based on the contents of the file (using some fancy hash method) rather than the file name. Side benefit: I have reduced the amount of files on my hard drive by a HUGE amount.

Good luck!

What you need is to tell her how terrible she will look in the full light of sun at midday.

:lol:

There is a new/recent thread here on PF about how a photoshoot in somewhat similar conditions went bad:

Good luck, from a man whose wife is not-so-recently unpregnanted. :D

I just upped your rep for handling this situation with the honor we expect from a good company.

Thanks,

is it possible to remove rep? if so, i'd like to remove yours. ;)
imagine yourself in Yvon's shoes and imagine how Yvon will feel when he reads this thread to see people criticizing him when his mother has just passed away.

Yvon: you have my sympathies. Take care of the things that truly matter in life (family) and eventually maybe you can come back here and resume this work, here.

I'm sure you are right about their "upgrade imperative."

They also dicker around with memory as a way to trick consumers into upgrading. Consider that the iphone currently comes in 16 GB and 32 GB models and that the price difference was $100 between the 2 (if I recall correctly). Every other company out there gives the consumer a mini/sd memory card slot, but not apple. It's revenue-smart but also makes me hate apple.

They way they make batteries hard to replace makes me similarly crabby.

I think it is criminal to engineer the "early demise" into a product when a product's useful lifespan could very easily be extended by simple things like expandable memory, user-replaceable batteries, upgradability, reparability, etc. It is especially unconscionable in this age when we are creating so much pollution with the disposal of all of these consumer goods.

I am about to throw away my less-than-3-year-old Samsung flat screen 46 inch TV because the repair costs are too close to the cost of a new set. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hahahaha.
Maybe we need to start a "This Takumar Sucks" Club.
If we all post lots of sucky pictures, we can drive takumar prices back down.

:D
