JPS only do the digital cameras, so it's Asahi Photo or harrow Technical for older models.

Really good, I'm desperately trying to find an excuse to have one of these....

I am presuming that you chose the image by browsing in Windows, in which case you won't have saved the rotation until you close it. You'll need to try doing the rotation before you select the image.

Having said that, it's much better to deal with images in Photoshop (or another program) and prepare them optimally for upload.

I don't see why not, providing the images chosen is a nice sharp, properly exposed one. Noise will be masked to some degree anyway by the canvas finish. so I would go ahead and try.

I expect, looking at mdc's comment, that Algi is referring to 12-bit and 14-bit files. I'm not sure that will be a major buying point for most of us, but maybe for some.

Algi, that's a very strange statement. Both cameras give identical image quality, being substantially the same in that regards. The DNG files will also be identical quality, surely?

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it!

Let's try again: Later you can find models.....etc.,

Many small local studios are available for hire at a low cost, complete with lighting, backdrops and props. Take alongt a friend as model for the experimental first steps and perhaps another photographer friend and just have a go.

Later, you can fire models through the studio or through websites such as Purestorm.

I just leave the last lens I used on the bodies

I agree with that, expanding it to perhaps refitting the next lens that I know I will be using.

I would think better to store camera with lens rather than removing lens every time to store with body cap. Firstly because it adds at least two extra points at which dust can enter the body and secondly because the camera will never be ready for a quick and unexpected shot.

Is there a different motor in the 18-135 then???

Yes, it uses a different DC motor.

Is that unique to that lens John?

Yes, I think so. I was actually expecting the new 18-270mm to be a DC motor as well, but that one is marked up as SDM.
