Bah! This "news" is by and for the legal departments; expect big patent battles or cross-brand patent exchanges in future. Curved sensors are great in theory.

The problem is that, in theory,...

It's likely Canon's sensor design and fab teams aren't up to the technological challenges presented by Sony's teams; I doubt Canon is so cynical as to try to cheat past and prospective...

Well, I think you're over your head with the comment about Formula-1. I have driven a Ralt Formula 1 chassis from circa 1975 (with a hot rotary motor) and it is quite as easy to drive as any Honda...

It probably is -- the main benefit of the short flange distance on the mirrorless body is in wide and extra-wide lenses. That short back distance makes for smaller, simpler designs than more...

You will almost certainly say two words, one of which is "Oh!"

"There are only 95 of the ‘Edition 0.95’ lenses worldwide, which have unpainted engravings...."

One wouldn't want to lead the eye away from the fine finish with gaudy, attention-grabbing operating...

You're correct about the leaf-shutter 75mm; I just checked mine and there is no A-position on the aperture ring, probably because the lens was designed to be used with a flash meter or other...

@dlb4 : When I was a kid, I used RF cameras until prismatic SLRs were introduced and I felt the same way, perhaps because a successful image was quite a surprise, given the approximation of the...

I owned an Asahiflex I, which I bought used in 1957, when I was 14 years old. The slow f:3.5 lens wasn't fast enough (this in the days before Tri-X) for available-light shooting, so I traded it...

@CopCaarSS -- It isn't only Rodinal which has a long shelf life: Leicanol (a "compensating" developer marketed by Leica in the sixties) came in glass vials which contained no air, only developer...

@Samuel wrote: "Rodinal never dies." That may be true -- the information sheet that comes with it says "slight flocculations are of no consequence," and the glass bottle it comes in has a tight...

120! I would try some on my Pentax 645 as soon as it's available! I was never a fan of Ferrania before, but....

I have to check whether my horde of Agfa Rodinal is still any good.

IIRC Technical Pan had a useful ISO of 20 when processed in Agfa Rodinal diluted to 150:1 and inverted every 30 seconds for ten minutes at 20C. Full tonal range, no visible grain, and resolution...

<<US-based Eastman Kodak manufactures the film on the UK company's behalf and still sells cine film and filmstocks for the movie industry.>>

The article has buried the lead! It used to be...

For those complaining the price is too high, may I remind you it is the same as a Nikon D5 and only $500 US more than a Canon IDx-II . I doubt the FF cameras can duplicate the IQ of its larger...

Placed 40^th in the challenge.

@Paul -- I didn't get the word that K200 was 120. Thanks for the correction.

And I didn't even think about magazine work, where 35mm K"chrome had a monopolistic hold. Of course, there are fewer...

Here's what puzzles me and makes me doubt Kodachrome's return:

The spokesman said Ektachrome was reintroduced because of professional demand. Ektachrome came in many sizes including 120 and 220,...
