That is a good question. My impression has always been that the problem does affect the Arca version but I guess I don't know that for sure. I first became aware of the issue by reading the comment ...

Fujifilm has Sony make their X-Trans sensors but these are not off-the-shelf designs. Sony Semicconductor provides a menu of options (different features and technologies) from which Fujifilm can...

"And where do you think that female model as "something interesting to photograph" comes from?"

Not sure what answer you're looking for here. Biology? Regardless, can forget...

@peterwr Examining not just the history of photography but the history of art in general across time and culture clearly demonstrates that most people consider younger men and women more beautiful...

@BackToNature Not trying to be snarky here but I think it is pretty well understood why camera sales have fallen off a cliff and it is not related to the topic at hand. It is smartphones. It is not...

@content_creator_666 As someone who shoots street, travel, landscapes, and architecture, I'm pretty confident you could go through my entire website and not find a single photograph of a...

@iserp You are either misunderstanding or misrepresenting what I have written. I have no problem with you are anyone else expressing an opinion regardless of where it falls on any spectrum. I have...

@Bodo123 I appreciate your comments though I don't agree that I missed the point. The author is not complaining that other genres are under-represented. He is arguing specifically that attractive...

@Mr Bolton Your comment is not vague but you do seem to be describing a scenario in your head that is not based anything shown anywhere in the post and then imposing value judgements based on what...

@J0n How do you think the female role in Japanese business structure relates to this question? Or do you? I'm not disagreeing with the idea that it may be viewed as outdated to those living in...

Doesn't sound like it, though I would have no objection to that either. Personally, I would shoot either.

Hi Jay. I would not describe the Zero-Y that I received as flimsy—mine (Arca-Swiss version) does not feel poorly built at all—but it is so lightweight that it would be easy to get that impression. ...

You would think. I have the Arca-Swiss version. Center column is rock solid. But I've had a conversation with an F38 owner who shared a video of his F38 tripod and the center column was completely ...

That's exactly what I did and I have been very happy with both the Ulanzi tripod and the PGYTech gear. I had never really paid attention to PGYTech gear before but have been really impressed with ...

Thecylon That's a lazy response, Thecylon. You can't articulate a meaningful argument in response so you name call. I'm willing to bet that the industry is not dying because of models at trade shows.

@BackToNature1 To be clear, I absolutely support the right of manufacturers to continue a practice that is both perfectly legal and popular with its customer base. People have differing views of...

@Alastair "Basic common decency" is a subjective term that does not apply here. The author wants to put models out of work for doing something legal, just because he doesn't personally like it. I'm...

@LoSPt1 As far as I know, cameras are available for sale to both men and women and there is a general understanding among both genders as to what you can do with them. For whatever reason, the...

That's an impressively articulated argument, Krummj. Anyone who photographs an attractive female model is a perv.

I completely disagree with the virtue signaling that accompanies slide 9.

• There is nothing ethically or morally wrong with using attractive female models at a trade show.
• By the author's own...
