When Agfa shipped its early monochrome films some people loved them; others hated them. When Kodak released Kodachrome over half a century ago some people loved it; others hated it. When Fuji...

Quick enquiry: how many of you find the way custom settings work to be good? Or bad? Personally I'm finding myself increasingly irritated that switching from "basic" to one of the custom settings...

Match Technical certainly started out selling grips for Leica - at the time the Fuji X series didn't exist: their support for Fuji X models since that release has been excellent. Having used both...

1] There is a difference between a generic thumb grip and a ThumbsUp from Match Technical. There are lots of generic thumb grips; some are more equal than others. 2] If you are using the wrong...

What Alan said. If a genuine Thumb's Up caused problems then Tim @ Match Technical would want to know about it; his engineering is exceptionally good.

If the pocket knife doesn't have something equivalent then a pair of small fine jeweller's screwdrivers [crosshead and flat] can be useful additions on longer trips. I once had to carry out ...

I discounted the Ona range - including the Bowery - since they don't offer me any more than several other small bags I already have, including Billingham and Tenba bags; it's only just large enough...

And nobody here has said anything different.

You're not alone in your qualifications or experience or the length and breadth of your usage history. I didn't come to that conclusion; it's an incorrect inference which you have drawn. You've...

Which bit of the word "present" do you not understand?

Typo: \\M52\\M42\\

Alan I'm afraid you believe wrong. You've just restated what I said, in different words, and got yourself mixed up in the process. SLR lenses using standard non-optical adapters will present at...

If so which lenses, and how did you like the results?

Hmn. I'm not sure myself. Have driven several Bugs, and even enjoyed a few of those drives, but have never had a chance to drive an SM.

Yes, you can. In fact you can use any of the standard M39 or M42 screw thread lenses from almost all manufacturers - although you will need to be careful when selecting adapter - many screw-thread...

So which would you rent? The Citroen or the Bug?

Not just any old telephone box either; one of the 20th Century classic "K6 Jubilee" boxes. Most now long gone throughout the UK.

Provided that the adapter you select delivers a good tight precision fit and the bayonet rings on either side of the adapter are suitably well made in a hard material such as brass or steel the...

Actually, no they don't come from smartphone companies; they come from companies that have a much wider involvement in technology than just smartphones. Sony Samsung and a few other manufacturers...
