You guys should know better than this. No names, just keep on topic please.

I've asked the question before, but no-one offered an answer.

Does the higher data transfer rate of faster cards go hand in hand with a higher error count? Is the data on a bigger card as safe as on a slower, lower capacity card?

For competitions to have a large number of entries, it's essential for the subject to be accessible. Obscure subjects will have fewer entries.

Title fixed, like the images. Do you prefer colour to black and white for street photography?

Correct, but then it simply becomes another FOV lens. When the system was mooted there wasn't much expectation that a lens would be useful on more than one format. It's another reason why it won't ever happen.

I think it would be more confusing than helpful, it's just an interesting dead end.

I don't need to travel far to find the sort of things I like to photograph. Every corner of the world has its own special features, including right where we live. I gave up doing travel shots a long time ago and tend to concentrate on details. These details are everywhere, so one place is much like any other place in this respect.

However, new places do inspire and excite, so the next deserted airfield or hidden building I find, or the next brilliant bloom, or the next gorgeous model, that will be my favourite place to be and my favourite place to photograph.

The theory of this is that we forget all about focal lengths and only use the field of view. In this way, it doesn't matter what size the format is.

So, if we have a camera with a 47 degree lens (not 46 degrees, I've looked it up now)it happens to be a 50mm lens on 35mm film, but that is no longer relevant.

A 47 degree lens on any format can be whatever focal length it happens to be, because we no longer use that measurement.

That's the theory, but it hasn't ever caught on and I doubt it ever will.

I voted a firm yes, despite its technical limitations it's a very pleasing lens.

Excellent. Many people may not notice that photo here, but put a selction in the Gallery or in the Your Photos section of the forum and you may reach a wider audience.
