For gawds sake, some people really need to get a life. If you have to research the meaning of OMG or LMAO, you really are seriously out of touch, no matter what your personal opinion of such terms are. I have my 'pet hates' - 'lense' being numero uno amongst them. But as long as posts are understandable, I don't really mind the occasional spelling mistake. The only posts I really struggle with are the ones lacking punctuation, particularly when done entirely in capital letters...

As expected

I look forward to seeing what it can do. And wait with baited breath for news of the K1!

The other forum has a mobile version and its so clunky. I wouldn't mind if they gave you a Choice but they don't.

Pleased the reader arrived ok
Gary - all you need to do is untick or disable 'Mobile View' in your phone's internet settings.

FWIW I think this forum works fine on mobile devices without a mobile version - the simple layout works well. The other forum has a more complicated and more feature-packed structure, that I sometimes struggle to navigate on a mobile.

The image at 300ppi is roughly A3. Change the ppi but do not resample the image. But to get the image to roughly A3 size on screen, zoom to a 33% view. There's no substitute for a test print though! The appearance of noise and sharpness will look different on a print (better).

Just a little crop to show what it looks like without bits of boat and caravan right on the edges...hope you don't mind. I don't know why it's ended up looking less warm; I didn't mean to do that! The light is lovely.

I agree the cost savings would be minimal. It would appeal to the growing niche of camera fetishists/snobs though.

The silicon film thing, though, looks like an idea which ought to be given fresh consideration.

Steady on there Algi!

Shot one - something about the angle, the crop, and the direction the model is looking, doesn't quite work for me - it's as if the shot was snapped while she was posing for someone else.

Shot two - the crop feels a bit tight and I don't feel best use is being made of the background. Either blur it out for a straight portrait, or if 'industrial fashion photography' is the aim, I would pull the model forward so more of whatever it is in the background can be seen, or take the shot from further back so the model is seen in the industrial environment.

The model's pose, and the light, are superb though!
