Ah, yeah, I completely forgot about the horrific fall of the dollar to the yen over the past year. It has been on my mind a lot(obviously), but I just didn't make the simple connection between ...

Wore off, or chipped? For it to wear off it would have to see pretty regular friction from some source. Is it a contact point for anything you use it with?  Perhaps the bag itself rubs on that part ...

I am leaving next Sunday for Japan, will be there for 3 weeks. Only a very rough itinerary so far. Flying into Tokyo, a few days there, over to Kyoto, few days there, then south-west to Hiroshima ...

As stated in title... I leave next Sunday, will be there for 3 weeks. Only a very rough itinerary so far. Flying into Tokyo, a few days there, over to Kyoto, few days there, then south-west to ...

Now that weather sealed 12-60 is making a whole lot more sense.

"Some reason" likely being that this portion of development isn't finalized.

You are falling into getty trap of claiming that because it is illegal, it doesn't happen.

You can say that the US fosters a form of legal corruption through the power of money in courts, but to...

I'm happy with Fuji for now, but glad to see serious mirrorless efforts being released by at least one of the big 2. I am very interested to see Nikon's response.

I am guessing they knew this was...

Probably more so in most countries, in fact...

It's simply more prominent in the US because it generally involves a high priced, high profile lawyer as opposed to outright(covert) bribery.

A point which they conveniently gloss over time after time in their statements...

They are either REALLY arrogant, or fully screwed and aware of it, and they don't want to waste money on a real...

If you read into it, there is a precident set for the amount based on previous successful suits against getty.

Basically, their poor record is responsible for the amount, not greed or a legal...

"We could not have done this, because it's illegal".

Wow, just wow... The arrogance is unbelievable.

Are you familiar with irony? Hypocrisy?

I didn't feel like starting another circular argument over what equivalence is or isn't. If you want to, go ahead. Or just continue being guilty of that...

I'm suddenly reconsidering selling my MFT bodies...

"they may have quite different Opt formula. MFT one is a 15 mm f4 in FF terms."

See, this right here is why I despise "equivalency" rhetoric(in place of actual knowledge). People simply do not...

First impression on that 85 is the focus ring is too small and not textured enough. I forsee many fumbling to find it while shooting.

Companies change, so do opinions of them. Google is far from what it was when most people took the plunge into android.

Accountability detected!!! Abort! ABORT!!!

Classic.
