My worst ever seller came from Yorkshire, but I don't refuse to sell to people in Yorkshire.

It doesn't matter where in the world we sell to, there will be a percentage of buyers who do not behave well.

Even Italy, famed for its ability to lose packages, has not produced that much missing mail for me. Some, but not much.

I find the answer for me is simply to insure packages that contain high priced items, even if I make a loss on the shipping by doing so.

I suspect it may be wrong to assume that most people shoot in RAW. Many professionals don't and not everyone else does either.

I just look at it that it does no harm for these effects to be there and some might indeed find them useful. They are certainly worth a try.

Windows Photo Viewer may not be colour managed.

If you stick to sRGB for all your images there won't be a problem.

This is a bit of a jump in supposition, but if you fire an ME Super and the battery has failed it will deliver 1/2000sec.

Now, if the same basic logic is used in current Pentax DSLRs, could this be caused by a battery problem?

It's helpful if new topics have a thread of their own. If you want to take this is another direction and discuss slide shows, then do please start another thread on that subject.

No myth, and if I had time I could pull out the figures to prove it. But this has nothing to do with the perceived final quality, which we know is better with medium format.

Roger Hicks explains the issues well in "The Lens Book" and that is an interesting read for anyone interested in lenses.

Changing the default setting of "Bright" to "Natural" renders the colours spot on IMHO.

We don't discuss moderation in public, but as you're relatively new so you probably don't realise that.

The original title was changed to more closely relate to what was in the thread, all of which expresses a variety of views.

Changing the title has nothing to do with restricting free speech, we reserve the right to change titles to clarify what it is a thread.

Apart from anything else, white balance seems quite off in these images.

I would darken even the second one considerably, but the cause of the over-exposure seems mysterious with the info we have.
