yeah be nice to use studio flash with widee apertures..without needing nd filters.... but I'm also hoping that if they come out with a few leaf shutter lenses in a k mount, then a camera sans mirror box won't be far behind to compete with other micro aps sized formats...

Hi Welcome! a winnipegger here!

a leaf shutter lens 60mm f1.4

I don't see a box labeled "Somewhere between Forrest Gump and Rainman" What am I supposed to check?

I bump into this from time to time with photo restorations...
If it is not being used for any commercial/public display, and I can't see a copyright notice, or if I cannot locate the business (ie out of business) then I trust the person asking me to do the restoration when they tell me that THEY hold the copyrights. If they produce a note with concent, I'm not a forensics/handwriting expert, I just keep a copy of it.
But that is usually old family/wedding photos, and your efforts may get a yes or no from various places so try your luck.

Guys I got a problem...
As some of you know I tinker with building robots.
I've got a brilliant idea, but not the resources to build a prototype.
This camera related idea would be patentable, and could be considered "Must have" gear, also affordable to any serious/semi pro shooters... the kind of idea that will have many smacking thier foreheads and saying "Why didn't I think of that?"

I need advice on how to protect the idea, and approach prospects for investment capitol. Canada specific advice would really help.
I'm hoping to get a patent and find a manufacturer or to licence the patent...

All suggestions advice welcomed...

So maybe try placing a pcso under citizens arrest for impersonating a police officer if he tries to detain you under the terrorism act or search, delete your photos.

A dog may be mans best friend, but don't think for a second, he won't sell your soul to the devil for a peice of chicken!


a few chunks of cold plain left over chicken meat.....no bones.

just don't try showing up nude with a ribbon tied around your waist.
Sounds like fun at first... but women are notorious for returning or exchanging...
lol

Well I'm fed up reading about enough incidences like this, that I'll have to avoid travelling there for a while...

If I found myself in a confrontation like that, I would react badly. A warrant will be the least of his concerns, he's gonna need a proctologist to retrieve my camera if he wants to see what is on it.
