Real men interrupt any music with his theme song. If you’re an avid fan of Super Robot Wars, then you should be familiar with Elzam Von Brainstein and “Trombe!” his theme song. “Trombe!” is unique for the song will always override any song that currently is played, every time Elzam appears on screen.

So far, in my opinion, these two are the best version of “Trombe”

The first one is from the animation Super Robot Wars Original Generation : The Divine Wars

The second one is from the Aquastyle CD

M42 mount lens and focus confirmation on Pentax K100D

Using an M42 or screw mount lens on my Pentax K100D is a fairly same issue as using an SMC-Pentax M lens that i covered in previous post. Metering works just fine like always (one of the primary reason why I lean toward K100D).

But when I “booted up” the K100D with the Vivitar 235, instead of the usual “enter the focal length” screen that greets you when you mount an SMC M lens, it went directly to show the info screen that shows that SR is off. I also found out, that I can only use spot metering. When trying to shoot some picture, It hit me that focus confirmation also wasn’t working. it’s just like the body failed to detect that a lens is attached.

Why? (more…)
