    POTW 02/08/2015

    <p>I visit this POTW every week and I see the same photographers posting regularly. Everyone is getting better and better every week. Keep it up.<br /> Big Bear Lake, California. My new town. K-3 and DA* 16-50</p>

    How to lock focus on a K5IIs, or, is it possible at all?

    <p>Wayne, hold on once more. I found that in the past, when I couldn't figure out a specific option, I reverted back the camera to factory default and Eureka...problem solved. Of course you have to spend time customizing it back to your liking, but as you do you may find what was the problem, assuming that the camera is not defective. </p>

    <h3><a href="http://pentaxdslrs.blogspot.com/2012/12/auto-focus-front-and-back-focusing.html">Auto-Focus * Front and back focusing charts updated. The good news is that it's still free.</a></h3>

    <p><br /> Hi Photographer friends, Do you have front or back focusing problems with some of your lenses or DSLR? You could spent in excess of One hundred dollars to get a manufactured lens aligning devices, or get mine for free. It does the same job and it cost nothing.<br>

    Why would I give it away? I love photography and I made some great cyber friends through my blogsite. It's my way to contribute a little, and help up and coming photographers. It can help Advanced and Pro Photographers as well. For almost six years, my AF charts have been downloaded all over the world. The charts are downloaded on an average of five hundred times everyday. It was originally designed for the Pentax K20D, but I updated the charts by deleting any camera specific instructions, and by revising images and some of the instructions. I believe it is more user friendly than before. You be the judge.<br>

    The charts (3) are now all inclusive in one downloadable package and are for every brands of DSLR cameras such as Pentax, Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, and all other brands that have the capability of adjusting the AF settings of each of your lenses. Let your friends, that use other brand of camera than yours, know about the charts. <a href="http://www.k10dbook.com/newchart.pdf" target="_blank">Download the Charts here ri</a><a href="http://www.k10dbook.com/newchart.pdf" target="_blank">ght now</a></p>

    Stabilizing your camera - no tripod.

    <p>I was going to present my design for comments to all different brands of camera forums, i.e. Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Sony and Olympus, but some have complained that I was spamming. It was not spamming and I regret that some members and some moderators, not everybody, are so self-centered that they can't see the benefits of having new equipment being presented here. This is a photographic forum, don't you want to know what's out there? <br /> In Asian countries and other countries as well, when someone has an idea, everyone rallies behind them. Some Government even push entrepreneurship by backing them up with no interest loans and tax credits. When my Stabilizers enter the mass market, and they will, I will be doing my little share of helping our devastated economy. I will likely hire one person and will continue giving work to my local machine shop that makes the units for me.<br /><br />I can see that with some of the negative or sarcastic comments I received herein, that many don't understand physics very well. <br /><br />I learned a lesson here. Never give up and don't listen to naysayers, they have no life and never accomplished anything even close to this simple device. I met some nice folks through the years in this forum, and I cherish that. I will not post on this site ever again. I will leave the little clan pat each other on the back for what they wish they could accomplish. I did not spam, did not advertise, did not swear, and yet I was treated like an enemy. <br /><br />Maybe some day some of you will learn to be civil.<br /> Goodbye</p>

    Yes, with three legs, all legs will be touching the base surface. This is as long as the distance between the junction of the three legs is high enough. However, with my Stabilizer, the legs are 2 1/2" extended. The DSLRs typically have the lens/sensor off center, and therefore the weight would not be dispersed proportionally. In most cases, the weight is distributed on three legs, but depending on the lens and the surface it's resting on, it will not work with three legs, unless the stabilizer would consist of a square plate. A square plate would weight too much, unless made of cheap plastic. I tried it both ways. </p>

    Can be used instead of heavy tripod!

    <p>I posted on the Pentax forum and the Canon Forum. These are two different forums, aren't they. I'm not spamming. I would be if I was offering life insurance, or enticing the readers with false promises or un-related to photography advertisement. I have not advertise anything, neither have I given any links to another site. I just asked for opinions.</p>

    <h1>What is spam?</h1>

    <p>Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an <br />attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive <br />it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, <br />get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very <br />little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the <br />carriers rather than by the sender.<br>

    There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on Internet <br />users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more Usenet <br />newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have found that any message <br />posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant to most or all of them.) <br />Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or <br />never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of <br />the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other <br />irrelevant posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system <br />administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their systems.<br>

    Email spam targets individual users with direct mail messages. Email spam <br />lists are often created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing <br />lists, or searching the Web for addresses. Email spams typically cost users <br />money out-of-pocket to receive. Many people - anyone with measured phone service <br />- read or receive their mail while the meter is running, so to speak. Spam costs <br />them additional money. On top of that, it costs money for ISPs and online <br />services to transmit spam, and these costs are transmitted directly to <br />subscribers.<br>

    One particularly nasty variant of email spam is sending spam to mailing lists <br />(public or private email discussion forums.) Because many mailing lists limit <br />activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to <br />as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, <br />or use the mailing list as a direct target for their attacks.<br>

    (For more information about the origin of the term "spam", and the formal <br />definitions of Usenet spam, see J.D.Falk's excellent <a href="http://www.cybernothing.org/faqs/net-abuse-faq.html#2.1">Net Abuse <br />FAQ</a>)</p>

    <p>I actually posted a similar one on the Canon forum. They are different forums, aren't they? I don't understand that when someone comes up with an idea and proposes it to the photographers, it is looked upon as spamming. Don't we want new equipment for our beloved hobby?</p>
