Is the issue that some critics are callous in the delivery of their critiques? OR that their credentials are in doubt because they don't post anything (so that you don't have a benchmark to measure against)? Are you chuffed that these critics have high and mighty attitudes OR that they have...

None -but there is nothing that is going to stop techno zealots from chasing the latest and greatest. That is why there are so many threads on the 70-200VR.

No - are you him?

You are right - I stand corrected. Nevertheless, one should not be able to copyright the size of a sensor.

Why would there be a copyright on the size of a sensor? This is silly. Anyway, Canon use CMOS sensors and Nikon uses CCDs.

What kind of events will you be shooting? Will you need to override AF a lot?

I remember (not so long ago) some people here in CS saying that there would not be a lot of interest in a Full Frame Nikon. I wonder why this thread is so popular then...:think:

The best users are the 35S and 35SE - both have the 40mm f2.8 Sonnar with HFT coating. The 35 and 35T, 35TE have the 40mm f3.5 Tessar lenses. There was a limited run of 35S models with S-xenars. Check out this site for more info. http://johnlind.tripod.com/rollei/rolleiframe.html

I would recommend getting a used but mint condition FM2 instead of the FM10. A used FM2 will cost the same as a new FM10 but is a much better camera all round. The fully mechanical FM2 is a camera that you will be able to pass down to your grand kids (as long as you don't stick your finger into...

How many times has it been used before? Noone wants old and tired ones. ;p

Tell that to Wisp. Several of the photos he has posted have met this fate. Whether it is typical behaviour in CS? I don't know. But it is a policy I have chosen to adopt bec I wish to avoid confrontation. As long as some people here show that they are unable to take criticism, this policy of...

Unfortunately, I would have to say of both pics - "Nice try but no cigar" Compositionally: Pic 1: I would have opted for a tighter shot - to give your audience a sense of closeness between your subject and her soon-to-be born child. The other problem I have with both pics is the...

Yes, I'll second this.

#2, 7, 15 are my favs out of your series. I love #2 especially. :thumbsup:

I think you are not clear of the terms. There is a difference between a manual camera and one that is fully mechanical. As you can have fully manual cameras that have electronic shutters. i.e. they still need batteries to operate to their full potential. From your post, I think you mean...
