Or believably ridiculous?

Ned's article is not going to stop speculation. Rollei had the Germany/Singapore scenario, Leica the Wetzlar/Canada and these days many manufacturers have factories all over the world.

There's no escaping it and unfortunately it means that there will be a price differential, even if there's no actual basis for it.

Without checking I can't tell you offhand, but what I can tell you is that before now I have had the option to pay the fee.

I was under the impression that gifts were free on both sides?

Of course it's of interest. This looks like the first improved wide angle for the 645D that was promised from the start.

Personally, whilst FF is njot a big enough jump upwards, the 645D certainly is. The only problem is affording it.

It's all a bit academic really, because when you pay someone you can opt to pay the fees.

There's no need to try and dodge the issue, although I suppose it's because there is no fee either side for a personal payment not related to goods.

Copyright of images of buildings may be very different in the USA, Canada, the UK and elsewhere.

In the UK we are not very familiar (yet) with property releases but I understand in New York it is mandatory.

That is dreadful, but I think we need a whole lot more information to begin to understand why.

Cheap ND filters do have a colour cast and certainly on film very long exposures will cause colour shifts. So, how was it shot, in full detail?

A bit of common sense please gentlemen. The actual address of this incident has been removed.

There is a video output from the camera that can directly feed a monitor. It shows whatever is shown on the camera monitor.

But first, have you set the dioptre adjustment accurately? Aim the camera at a blank wall (the lens should not be focused on a subject)and adjust the dioptre setting until the etched lines on the focusing screen are at their sharpest.
