I would rather be writing to two physically separate storage media devices at once. Belt AND suspenders are my modus tutis. What would be even better in addition would be some good card monitoring...

Oh thanks for setting me straight on that one. Is it yay-peg or gay-peg? Although, I think half the world pronounces it Nee-kon.
How does one pronounce Corolla in Japanese?

Geez! Take it easy or switch to decaffeinated guys! It's obviously just a concept. I'd give her a "B" on the idea and an A+ on the choice of music - DBQ is timeless.

Exactly. I've run into this sort of thing before with engineers and how they pronounce their inventions. It makes me grin inside and wonder if it's an intentional cheekiness towards their English...

Some very mean spirited people here. I love to hear about the otherwise unsung creators of technology - they are my heroes. The soft sounding G in an acronym or abbreviation is a stretch however;...

Just so long as we never see the Leica name/logo emblazoned on a smart phone, I'm still OK. If that ever happens I'll most likely go barracuda fishing with my old M lens caps.

Makes me wonder what if; Kodak who used to employ the best, brightest and most innovative talent in the world (physicist, chemical engineers, etc.) had been able to shift their focus from...

Take a chill or a Valium there big guy. What's needed is a good ole fashion shoot out (with cameras and lenses). We can meet at high noon someplace nice; I'll be driving a beige Subaru wagon,...

OK, Maybe, sometimes. Fit and finish and shear delight of handling something so panache yes. But some real world optical bench testing has shown otherwise. Some years back when Konica came out with...

Maybe what's need is a different level of forum. The discussion here often degenerates into schoolyard name calling. The very concept of high end medium format systems seems to be out of the...

Inflationary pricing does not help anyone, providing better service does. It's more like a perpetual sucking sound to my revenue stream. Did you know the average data plan (for smart phones) is...

When an imperial power becomes a dictatorship and levies an unfair levy on the populace they only invite upheaval and revolution. That's only if history is prologue. Good luck with the peasants...

Go back to the episode of the wedding (the one that didn't happen) and watch the photographer taking the photo of the bridesmaids. He "takes" the photo with his head under the hood holding the...

Wish you still had some of your slides. I'd love to see those images.  I've found that my old Kodachromes going back some 40 years now have survived the ravishes of time albeit suffering from some...

Cameras and shoes and cologne, oh my! Which purchase will make the haute couture statement of panache this year for me? On second thought none of these cameras appear to be available with...

Years ago there was a movie camera (film based) equipped with a 180º angle of view fisheye lens. The image was then projected with a fiseye lens equipped projector onto a hemispherical screen. ...

Point taken.  Do you watch Downton Abbey too?

OK.  But a big difference is that the Petri sported a 45mm 1.8 lens - Almost a stop and a half faster than the Rollei.  It would also have to be a fairly bright interior to shoot at that...

Loved my Rollei 2.8 almost as much as my Tiltall tripod and Prontor cable release.  I just never felt comfortable hand holding it it anything below 1/125 sec.  Office lighting and Tri-X (@ 400)...

OK. Marginally. Average brightly lit office would be about 350 lux/lumen meter squared; That would put you in about 1/60th at f 2.8 with Tri-X rated at ASA 400.  Depends on how much coffee one...
