Photographers can be so glum sometimes! There's nothing wrong with a bit of snazzy marketing.

Anyway, where's the picture that mimics the New York video and says, "Hi, I'm jules and this is my three legged thing!"

Bronica, Nikon and Pentax cameras all have lenses that operate the same way. Every other make they turn the opposite way.

It's only a minor point, but incredibly important when trying to work fast and especially when working under pressure.

Unfortunately this thread is not proving helpful. I think we've all got the message now that feelings on the subject run high and some individuals are getting too angry. I understand that you feel strongly about the issues. No bans, but a general reminder that we expect civility and won't tolerate harrassment of individuals.

Time to call it a day and let everyone cool off.

OK you guys, time to let this go, isn't it? This could go on all evening. Please settle your differences amicably.

I'm sure there's an element of that Steve, and of course it equally well applies to all news of crime.

In some ways there is perhaps less than you might have found in the slums of Victorian London - the world of the workhouse, virtual slavery and widespread abuse and cruelty is not that far behind us.

Special Delivery will indeed be £21.65, but it will arrive quite reliably.

Some couriers are not as reliable.

The Bronica is a good choice to mix with Pentax as the focusing and aperture rings work the same way round. This will avoid any operational confusion.

Generally speaking I use my cameras at ISO200 - a compromise that offers high quality with reasonable shutter speed/aperture combinations.

If the light falls to a level where camera shake is a real possibility, then I don't hesitate to increase the ISO value as much as I need to.

Or use a tripod.

I've not seen this for some time, so thanks for the reminder, it's very interesting!

Don, too far with that, so I've removed the comment.
