I thought about driving up as it isn't exactly far but the rain hasn't stopped all day. 6 degrees today - 17 degrees tomorrow forecasted!

Anyhow, hope those who went found their trip worthwhile.

Yes, it's supposed to work like that, but regarding your query

I can't see that it can as the camera needs to know both shutter speed and f stop to work that out. While the camera will be aware of the shutter speed, non A lenses don't pass any information to the camera so it has no means of calculating an auto ISO. All you can use is M with the green button or Av at full aperture as you said.

John

I can't really advise you on that as I haven't got a Q or a K-01 which has that feature; if you've tried it and it doesn't do what you want, try the individual pictures method. I do not see how one method can be better than the other though, they are just different ways of achieving the same thing. Having the camera join them for you without further processing sounds simpler but if you want more than that because you want to crop the images or alter them first then you have your answer.

John

Not sure what you are asking exactly. Do you mean what settings to put on the camera, if so it is shown on page 113 of the camera manual. Or are you asking how to arrange the camera in relation to the subject (in which case it would depend on what it is you intend to take) or are you wanting to do an animation movie like a Wallace & Gromit?

Whatever it is you intend to do I'd have a practice making a short one first even if it is a few seconds of cars driving down the street at seemingly break neck speeds.

John

Yes that surprised me too. Certainly not an example of bloatware! I expect if some of the major names took it over to release it it would be more like 299Mb plus. I intend to give it a try too when I've taken a suitable trial sequence; shall take the images at 2Mb and on low quality for the first try. Handy that it can crop different size images to fit together in the sequence.

John

I'll make enquiries locally at Clive's Cameras. It's the sort of thing he may have.

John

It's in good hands
Happy belated 50th by the way.

John

Edit: Do you miss not being able to zoom out with it?

Yes that's correct. If you want something similar with variable manual output, lookout for something like the Sunpak Autozoom 3000. (Not recommended for on camera use, regrettably, because the trigger voltage is quite high, a good flash non the less.)

John

It's quite a scarce lens so that doesn't surprise me if its in good condition. The earlier K and M versions were just f4's. Wonder what the FA version fetches?

John

As far as I know nothing's changed. It's not a discount as such, you just get the postal charges waived. You may need to speak to them and give them your PU username and if you've purchased something recently I'm sure they'll sort it out for you.
