Not really bad news either, they just haven't decided, which is pretty much what their position has been all along.

If the 645D is a massive success in Japan you can be sure it will be rolled out elsewhere in due course.

robbie_d, I have removed the post from Miss Julian from your profile page.

I already have an I-10, and very good it is as well.

Maybe that's something to do with most people being right handed?

You might consider looking for a screw thread SMC Takumat 300mm f4 lens, sometimes found second hand for around £299.00

These are quite convenient to use on digital SLRs, without the fiddling needed with the early bayonet lenses.

Lense didn't exist in Photographic magazines and books until it started getting mis-spelt on the internet a year or two back.

One lens. Two or more lenses.

I'm not so sure, because it is related to the quality needed by the market. FF sensors may well become cheaper, but so will APS-C.

They may well become better, but so will APS-C.

So when the noise level is irrelevant, the pixel count as high as anyone needs for any purpose and all this can be packed into an APS-C (or smaller!) sensor, why would we want a bigger camera using FF?

This is why most film cameras were 35mm and not medium format. The 35mm format is capable of outresolving what the eye can see on a 16" x 12" print (The lens book, Schultz and Hicks) and that's all most people need and want.

The limit on film was that formats smaller than 35mm did not fulfill this simple quality requirement. On this basis, as things stand now, I would expect 4/3 cameras to have a hard time.

I do have a friend whose interest is languages, and he confirmed that the usual plural of forum is in fact forums. He also suggested that in this case "forum" may not come from Latin, but is derived from a Greek word.

Who did Ancient Greek at school? The Odes of Horace and all that stuff?

Anyone?

Fair point, mentioned every now and again. It is nice and sometimes useful to know where people are.

I sent you a PM yesterday, which you read. I have received no reply, so please try again.
