Can I ask if you are also making a version for mobile phones, or maybe making it for Tapatalk too? The current site is horrible on my phone, which is all I have to access the site while travelling.
I agree - making the site easily accessible on mobile devices is essential nowadays and to have a design that only works well on computers and tablets is a bit out of date TBH. Hopefully this has been addressed?
Is that why ePz is the way it is; ie mobile friendly as personally I don't like it on the desk-top, although can fully appreciate the need to be mobile friendly. On the desk-top now, a lot of un-necessary scrolling seems to be needed to find info on it and many other sites.

A thought; is there a way for a host site to recognise whether it is a desk-top or mobile device that is trying to access it and provide two layouts?

Forum pages look to suffer from usual redesign failing of too much white space leading to less content and more scrolling.
That is my thought as well - it seems to be following the ePz design which I guess has been done to enable easier viewing on mobile devices, but as someone who still uses a desktop and a large screen, it is less appealing. Sorry to be negative!

I have used it in macro work and its brilliant for making that final composition when the tripod head/ focus-rail is a bit fiddly and inexact for the position you want.

Not tried for perspective shift though - be interesting to try it out sometime!

Thanks for the link - even though it did pan/ zoom a bit too quickly, still very enjoyable!

If it was a new for old policy - then as the K10D was, in its day, the top of the line model, that should point to a K3 replacement!
hang on a mo top of the range they didnt have the 645z then so dose that count would be nice though
Hadn't thought of the 645Z However a lens to go with it...

What is worth noting is that when you increase the density to higher levels you get uneven exposures, from what I have read this can also be true of more expensive variable filters. .
This problem with a variable ND filter increases the wider the angle of the lens - I managed to get a dark cross shape on the image, with others patches where more light gets through
