What lens were you using for these? There's some purple fringing there (on the high-contrast right hand edges) that could do with some attention.

Indeed, but actually he didn't. For the return wipe, he bent the swab the other way, and used the other side.You do not wipe the cleaning medium back across the item being cleaned.

Sadly that's about as big a hint we're likely to get. You might as well try and extract information from a plank of wood if he's under an NDA, from memory

Can you publish some bad photos, please, and make me feel better?

All my approved photos, 73 of them, which were in the gallery, have disappeared. Along with the 7 I uploaded a week ago. What a totally useless site it's turned out to be.

If I click your PPG link, there are loads of your photos showing.

It would be nice. But I fear it's extremely unlikely.
I'd speculate that they'll reckon those that are going to buy an expensive new lens, once they aleady have the camera, are probably going to do it anyway, so there's no need to entice them with 10% off.
I hope I'm wrong, although I'm now unlikely to be buying any lenses for quite a while.

Booooo!ChrisA. I just 'phoned Microglobe and they apologised and said they would remove them both from their site ASAP as they don't have them anymore.
Can't say I'm surprised. I should think most of the people that have one are likely to hold on to it. I very nearly bought one but got a Sigma 10-20 instead. I've been very pleased with the Sigma, but if I'd known they were going to stop making them I'd probably have made a different decision.

This video from the people that make Eclipse fluid should de-mystify the procedure:

Have you seen this film of a 767 landing at Warsaw, without it's gear down?
Amazing piece of piloting skill or luck or both!
Not that I know much about the big jets, or gear-up landings for that matter, but AIUI, the engine nacelles are made good and strong, not just so that they can contain the loss of compressor blades if they ingest a bird, and bits end up flying around inside at extremely high speed.
But also so that they don't collapse and allow a wing tip to dig catastrophically into the ground in just such an eventuality as this.
If Aliengrove's around, perhaps he'd comment? Do you get that in sim training?
