Fine with me. I wasn't trying to be tacky; I saw that you had received some good info from folks on this forum. I just thought that a forum that specialized in film SLR's might have links to blogs ...

Perhaps you would have better luck on a film camera forum, as opposed to one that is dedicated to DIGITAL photography...

When I'm out and about, I just do not feel comfortable letting my camera hang supported by only the strap.  I don't like the way it is potentially in danger of taking a spill in case the strap ...

Quite true. At the risk of being redundant, but to make sure the OP understands: the typical extra cost "personal items" policies people have been discussing are not warranties.  They do not repair ...

Personal article policies typically cover theft, loss, or accidental damages to gear (e.g., if you drop your camera into the bay).  I may be all wet (pun intended), but I wouldn't think the ...

That is truly disgusting!! Just kidding of course, but your post is actually an eye opener.  I wouldn't have even THOUGHT about buying one of those Gariz grips "used".  Now I will keep my eye out ...

Interesting and informative.  Thanks very much for the explanation.

Since you brought it up...what difference does it make if her flash never leaves her camera body?  How would her photography be improved, if she were swapping the flash on and off of the camera ...

I'm not a "for hire" photographer, but hopefully my experiences with my daughter's wedding photographer would be at least somewhat pertinent to this thread. Perhaps there is a middle ground ...

Well done, Paul. By the way, let me be clear that I was not in any way going after you; your post just seemed the most natural one for me to append my question about the possibility of the thread ...

Thanks for the confirmation, Brownie.  Good to know I am not going crazy after all!

I am certainly not taking up for the OP, who seems rather naive at best. However, I wonder if for some reason, this thread was moved from the "Open Talk" forum over to the "Nikon SLR Lens" forum. T ...

I have bought a number of items from KEH, and everything has always gone smooth as silk. Of course, I did my due diligence up front and make sure I fully understood what I was buying, before ever ...

My 12-40 hood literally came apart, when I was taking photos of my grandparents' graves in an old cemetery (not exactly what you'd consider a demanding environment). The outer metal retaining ring ...

Thanks, I appreciate your previous help and today's well wishes!

I have both, and like both of them.  If I could have only ONE I'd probably choose the 12-40 due to its longer focal length, but I'd hate to give up the 12-35.  Details follow. I have an E-M1 and ...

Now that you've explained it, I actually kind of agree with you.  With the fold out plugs, it is sometimes difficult / impossible to get more than one charger in an outlet.  If one is charging a ...

Where in Sportyaccordy's posts did you see that he was desperately trying to get affirmation of his Sony gear?

I had similar thoughts several months ago, and asked the good folks on the Fuji forum if I would see better results from an XT2, compared to my E-M1 and 12-40. Here's a link to that thread: Upgrade ...

I'm afraid you're correct about him preferring a cell phone for pics, based on the example his mom sets. To be brutally honest, if I'd known we would be moving into a house, I would most definitely ...
