    Not a lawyer and you have presented a compelling defense on how to circumvent copyright law. But common decency should always come first, ask permission and not forgiveness.

    Would that be legal?

    DPReview was, by a wide margin, the least biased in their assessment of camera gear. Their performance charts were the same across all cameras and formats and you could easily evaluate the sensor-lens performance. I think, can not prove, that they had disclaimers when they reviewed a camera at...

    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    If you are starting fresh, the 38 is a great choice, but as mentioned, even the bargain 45 p is a great performer. As far as lens corrections go, yes the 38 does have vignetting issues but easily corrected on import to Lightroom. As to the origin of the new series of lenses, is it not being...

    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    Yes, I think a 24mm in the new V design would round out the family well. I am awaiting the arrival of the new 90V to see if that would work for me as a two lens combo. It would be interesting to see if they plan on revamping the entire lens line up with the newer designs. The improved focus...

    xcd 38 experiences, and compared to 30 and 45

    I owned the 30 and 45 XCD 45P (pancake) lenses when I had the X1DII and they both were very good lenses. I sold them over a year ago and now have the X2D and the 38 XCD V lens. The 45 XCD P lens is a great lens for the price and size, at a third of the cost of the 38 V, a bargain. The 38 V...

    leaving medium format and use "just" FF? X2D vs SL2 (or SL3)

    Hi, I am Al, I am a gearhead... I can relate to the conundrum of having the means to buy gear for the express purpose of making images only to find one in dyer need of a sherpa to carry it. Been through the range of camera gear both film and now digital in the quest of the perfect balance of...

    Underwater camera recommendations?

    AK, So far from what I have read, you have been given good advise from Graham. I snorkel almost daily and have learned the limitations of being an air breathing creature. I currently have the Olympus TG5 and Nikon J2 in a Nikon housing. First, I agree that a compact system is much easier to...

    Full Circle - back to Nikon

    Ptomsu, I feel that Nikon went all out with their entry level lenses, punching above their price. Fun times!

    Full Circle - back to Nikon

    Darin, From the reviews, the "kit" zooms are very good, the 24-70 2.8 as good as the 1.8 primes. With the new lenses coming out, I am taking my time choosing.

    Full Circle - back to Nikon

    I have shot with Nikon throughout my professional career, starting with the Nikon F and progressing through to the F2AS and the F3. I chose Nikon because a camera was an essential tool that you relied on. You did not know if the camera malfunctioned until you got the film back - after the job...
