Hi Paul, I've got my doubts......  Nikon has been rumored to have been considering a MF camera for decades - film and then digital.  They did have a serious hand in making the Plaubel Makina 6X7s...

Hi Jim,  Hope this helps.  I could have had a crack at the explanation myself, but wikipedia has been there before.  Their explanation below...... Cheers, Rod From Wikipedia : "In optics,...

Hi, An 85mm has been rumored. AFAIK, there's been no rumor of a prime lens wider than 35mm. It's very early days. We'll first have to see the camera and exactly what native lenses are actually...

Hi, Commiserations from a fellow kayaker........ Whatever you decide about the camera, I'd be buying a different bag!!! In fact I would buy a decent waterproof case and put that in a waterproof...

I'm not fussed about the location of the EVF as long as it's got one and it's a good one. - I can work with either.   A lot of it is what you like and get used to. If the camera is really small, it...

Hi, Anyone else see this? - SAR have posted their latest tips re the NEX FF.  They say Sony had three body prototypes and chose the one (SR5) that's going to be physically similar to the OMD with a...

Hi DPR, This is (I think) a simple suggestion.  My apologies of it's been considered before...... When we enter a Forum, we are taken to the top of the Forum page.  That's fine.  We then select a...

Thanks Baobob - wonderful small spot.......  Cheers, Rod

Hi Roberto, Mine came with a corrugated soft synthetic rubber liner.  You can see this in the photos in my OP.  It can be removed to leave the hard plastic shell only on the inside.  I believe you...

Hi, I bought one. It's great quality and packs down very small - it fits in a day pack easily enough with the rain jacket and water bottle, etc. One problem that I found was that the supplied Sirui...

I think they'll need more than one WA prime.  As I said earlier in this thread, they've got nothing wider than the 31mm.  A 28mm would be close in FL and of little interest to 31mm owners, but a...

Pre-order a camera on rumored specs and leaked photo?  That's a tad too adventurous for me.  I'm watching and waiting and still happily using my K5 in the meantime.......  If it dies, I guess a K3...

Hi, I'm potentially interested in FF, but am waiting to see what's on offer.  I'm going to see what the K3 specs offer, but I doubt I'll trade up from the K5 until mine fails.  I will certainly...

Nicely done Russell.  You've demonstrated perfectly the point I made in my earlier post.  The image is shot 3/4-on and distorted by close use of a short FL.  The front-on image in the other thread...

Hi Paul, Looks to me like it was shot close with a camera (phone?) with a crappy WA lens.  The lens looks like it's pointing slightly downwards and away, the prism and near strap attachment are...

It was an interesting read......  and a bit of a worry.  It's easy to take manufacturing standards and QC for granted, and clearly we need to be a bit careful with adapters. I agree with you...

Hi, Not for me.  I'm well invested in PK glass and am generally very happy with the K5 as a DSLR.  No doubt I'd be happy with the K3 or whatever the equivalent model is when my K5 dies. My...

Hi Tom, Good portaits.  I'm lurking here to watch the threads about Sony's FF NEX evolve - getting very interested...... I'm into landscape and travel.  I print big some of the time.  I'm shooting...

No, I'm not saying that at all, as I think you can readily see from my posts.  There's an obvious and fundamental distinction between downloading at the request of the artist/distributor/vendor...

Tom, Thanks for citing Rule 6, but I can't see that I've offended.  I was not rude or abusive and certainly entered the thread too late to have 'stirred' anything.  I accurately referred to the...
