It's an interesting idea Don. What I didn't like about the Ricoh modular approach was that over the range of lenses we'd be using different sensors with different formats and different qualities. The single sensor approach gives consistency and that can be very important.

Perhaps a semi-modular approach, in other words not quite so drastic as you envisage, would be the way to make the idea practical?

I wonder if there's a rear filter drawer and a yellow filter has been left in?

Stick to the subject please.

Fair enough. When you want to put the camera in its case, what happens to the hood? Personally I don't reverse it on to the lens, but it has its own place in the Billingham Hadley Pro. In this case, the camera + hood certainly won't fit as-is into the bag, so it will have to be removed. Then I'll still need a lens cap.

All I'm saying is for my way of working I'm struggling to see how it would fit in. So how would others approach these sort of issues?

Staying on topic is a very good idea, it's very easy to get the wrong end of the stick and get over sensitive.

Well I'm certainly not taking the hump, but that sort of thing rarely works because it isn't possible to say nothing and yet say anything meaningful. Half confidences are awkward at best, much better to share any greater insight after the lid is properly lifted.

So why are you talking about it? Surely that would be frowned on very severely by your employers?

All these half comments about something we've not seen seem a bit pointless really.

Sometimes a user will change their mind and cancel a message before you've read it. The notification will already have been sent, but will lead to nothing.

The clip on lens hood has been around for so long that I doubt very much that patents will be a problem. Many manufacturers use them, including those Chinese manufacturers that make replacement hoods.

This new design, which isn't that new really, seems quite bulky and vulnerable, and I wonder what the benefit really is. We already get a perfectly efficient hood and cap with almost all lenses, so where's the problem?

As this is a duplicated thread I'll close this one.
