I've read that the Hoya R72 is still the filter of choice for digital IR but
of course this all depends on the camera and such.
I will be picking up one today I think (67mm) as long as I can get a step

Hi folks...
In my quest for maintaining constant power to my numerous flashes (Metz and
Vivitar) I'm curious to find out if any of you out there are using any
Quantum Battery Packs.
If you are, how do you like them? Which type are you using?
As the spring and wedding season approach I know that
I've been staying out of this one for the most part but I must agree with
Bruce here.
The Date Function, while it may be handy for some, is sort of pointless in
my books.
The Contax G2 data back gave a lot more information - exposure info for
example - that may be more useful and it imprinted it be
It's not the central location I was hoping for (i.e. Toronto *smirk*) but it
seems that for one reason or another most folks wanna "do" Vegas.
I would suggest an early 2004 meeting as it would appear that the current
state of world affairs may have things a bit chilly at least till the end of

Hmm..
Perhaps we should organize something then..
one really big honking Pentax PDML meet ?
Can we have any suggestions for a reasonably centralized location that has
inexpensive accomodation, great facilities, lots of shooting opportunities
and courteous residents?
I think this would be a great
Agreed -
but Specs do play a part. I wouldn't purchase an automobile on "looks alone"

that it continues and Pentax will prove me, and all the others out there
hoping for something special, wrong.
Cheers,
Dave

Pal;
Pentax's current "flagship" - MZ-S - is, even by those on this list,
considered a failure.
Pentax's last decent model was the MZ-5n IMHO.
What's left?
MZ-L, MZ-6 etc. none of which are beyond advanced amateur. The same could
be said for Minolta's offerings outside of their nicely spec'd Maxx
Dave Dave Dave...
if you're going to use the F meter just for colour shots..
i'd be happy to take it off your hands :-)
B&W, Zone, and then figure out your film density.. get a densitometer and go

Depending on the flash and what you're shooting Dave; NPH is pretty gosh
darn good in my books - but I'm shooting mostly people. Portra NC would be
my back up. NPZ rules - but it's expensive to shoot.
Seeing as how it's going to be so gosh darn sunny.. I'm grabbing some chrome

What's that??
