lens calibration
I set up my tripod outside and focus on the car's number plate. Worked a dream when I was sorting out my FA31... No jigsaws, chopsaws or MDF needed. With a zoom, you might have to compromise. If you use the long end most, get that set-up and put up with errors at the other end. If you use all...

I guess the real challenge would be putting all back together again. :) Cheers, /Ian

The US Mag "Modern Photography" used to take a camera to bits like that when they were testing it..... but.. they also put it back together :shock: :lol:

That's what he has, with the motorsport package. It'd probably fit on a chicken too, to get back to the original topic!

NAS for photostorage, plus and minus
Well, I thought this would be a good idea. Allowing a central store for all the computers in the house. His laptop/netbook, her iMac and laptop. Provide a safe(ish) place to archive digital data. Let me clear down the laptop disk but still have access to all the images. Now the reality is kick...

NAS for photostorage, plus and minus
on the mac... Aperture does not play well with nas drives at all. you will be in a world of hurt if two users on a network start accessing the same drives or files simultaniously... but there IS something... if you were to set up an automator workflow to dupe your originals to the nas drive ...

NAS for photostorage, plus and minus
Peter, , it was NAS, and RAID (hot swapable, I hate waiting while RAIDs resync)and CHEAP, £135, and new! Its just a very simple home setup, hopefully I can clear down my laptop and I will not have to upgrade for another year. Also environmentally it draws 35W max and you can program it to swi...

NAS for photostorage, plus and minus
I keep adding NAS drives to my home network. I'm now up to 4. I have one old Buffalo single drive NAS which has now been retired to become a FTP server for the IPcamera watching the wildlife in the back garden. I have 2 Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duos both of which are running 500+500gB raid 1. O...

NAS for photostorage, plus and minus
How about magneto-optical drives, or are they too small and too expensive? I think so. I saw them "live" quite a while back but have not seen them in use since. I think the advances and falling price in HDD storage have meant they have limited applications. Given the price of USB portable har...

NAS for photostorage, plus and minus
Doug, I would use cables to connect to our two PC's (I do this already). I have two external hard disks that I use for a backup of the backups. My existing nas device I would use for a RAID back-up system, after installing the new nas drive. I think this would safeguard the data that is store...

Review - JP Service Solutions
At the end of December my K10D developed a stop down fault, so I contacted JP Service Solutions. They replied to me e-mail within 24 hours and I was given the address to send it in. It was packaged up for sending 4th January 2011 and I stressed in the covering letter that the camera was in pristi...

Review - JP Service Solutions
After recalibration, any better now with lens front/back focusing ? There was no problem before. In fact, so far I haven't had a body or lens that has been a problem.

Review - JP Service Solutions
Are JP Service Solutions the same people as Johnsons Photopia? I sent Photopia 3 emails in 2010 about getting hold of a set of focus screen shims for my K20D, I included the Pentax part numbers in my request. Not one of those emails was replied to. The email address was passed to me by SRS, so I'm p...

Review - JP Service Solutions
They did a good job of fixing my 50-135mm but yup, they were extremely slow. So much so that despite many emails and phone calls the lens wasn't back before I left for nine weeks in Romania... :( K.

Acronyms
Just a load of reasons why I'd never do a wedding - sounds like a lot of stress with great potential for it all to go horribly wrong! Landscapes. They don't sue you if you make them look fat and if the results are terrible you can go back tomorrow and try again. Much simpler!

Looks like I will be up early over the next few night's!
To get you in the mood :wink: Not brilliant, but not bad considering how much the ship was moving and it's out of focus too - the focus kept drifting off infinity on the 17-70 :evil:. I plan a land based aurora hunt sometime.

Double Camera Straps
I have the Chinese single version of this (and it is/was going to be in that package I mentioned a while back) ..... much cheaper and virtually identical. The double version has just arrived in the office too ... I'll pick that up today, both knock-offs of Black Rapids methinks, Whatever make you h...
