I took JR to mean that the camera set the ISO.

For goodness sake, man, hang onto it. When the so-called full-frame camera comes out, lenses like this are bound to go up in value.

Or I'm a Dutchman.

(Which I am not.)

Hanging on grimly to far too many SCFF lenses.

It's only because we are all so bloody old that we think wireless means radio!

Indeed. Fine, upstanding fellows all. Let no man impugn them.

Which reminds me...

One cannot hope to bribe or twist,
Thank God, the local councilist.
But seeing what the man will do,
Unbribed, there's no occasion to.

Originally said of British journalists, but applies equally to local councillors.

PS: That's one thing to be said in favour of the aristocracy. Chester is one of our finest and most unspoilt towns, thanks in no small way to the Duke of Westminster, who has resisted the efforts of the proletariat to bulldoze it.

There is now so much information to be had on the Internet if you care to look for it that the need for a manufacturer to answer technical questions is much less than it would have been ten or fifteen years ago.

I therefore don't feel particularly deprived by the fact that the offer of advice has been forgotten. And in any event, reading back through the questions, many were not technical questions about existing kit but questions or suggestions about future products and features, and these had already been ruled out by Nikita.

I doubt if there is one genuinely technical question there that can't be answered by Mattmatic.

It was a bit silly though to have made the offer and then not followed through with it.

I suspect the person who originally agreed to provide answers has left.

Perhaps Nikita can be prevailed upon to find another sucker.

For soft Southerners, Nigel's new website shows lots of possibilities.

Flare? Sometimes.

Flair? Always.

Simple and functional design, which doesn't get in the way of the pictures.

Full marks.
