In addition to your comments I recently read an article that was from a company (I believe it was called I Fixit but I may be wrong about that) who took the entire MacBook Pro apart to determine its “fixability.”

They discovered that much of the unit is glued in place and that the display is integral to the unit and if damaged the…[Read more]

Any specifics? I am sure they update little things, but I don't always upgrade firmware that quickly unless there is a clear advantage. I guess I am taking a “if it ain't broke, don't fix it” attitude. For example, the last time I did a Mac OSX update, it destroyed my computer…luckily I had a backup.

I am planning to go as well. It's only 2h by train from Brussels for me :D. I have not decided when and probaly only will do so shortly before. If you guys set something up, I will try to make it. The weekend 22/23 should normally work. During the week depends on workload.

I would love to go, but work schedule won't permit it. I will be doing go to make it to Photo Plus in NYC this year.

Thanks for all the feedback! I plan on going out on the bike again tonight in South Beach so hopefully I'll get some more worthwhile shots. I'll make sure to post them if I do.

(Jack – I had to look up who Don Johnson was – I'm that young. David and Josh gave me a lot of crap for that one. Also, I've heard of Blurb before and it's definitely…[Read more]

Cheers,

I should be there.

I think a Red Dot Forum meetup would be great!

I agree with Jack and David, I really like the bike shot. For some reason I don't know why, I also like the tilted shot with the shopping cart laying on its side. I didn't mean that comment in a derogatory manner, it's just very different than the normal types of photographs I like. So really, its a compliment.

I like the bike shot too and have thought about doing something like that for a while now. Unfortunately, I'm the one driving the bike 🙂 Maybe time for a second shooter…

I have a mint M4-P in chrome. For sale? Perhaps, sometimes I would sell, sometimes I would keep. Send me a PM

Tonight, immediately go out and shoot many more from the bike. It could be a great series. Then do a kickstart project or a Blurb book on Miami at night. Of course it would be nice to get Don Johnson to go with you.

Right.

I store my S2 lens down in my camera bag all the time. However, I don't yet have a 120mm so maybe it's not a problem.

Pete,

Sorry to hear about your mishap.

The 120 lens is the only S lens that isn't an internally focusing design. We use (and recommend) the rear button for AF activation and have never had an issue updating firmware. Usually, we update firmware with the 70mm attached so it has never been an issue.

I'd also suggest not resting the…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this point of concern.
Just to clarify, if I do not use the rear AF button then this is not a concern? :confused: I just updated firmware with lenses attached but have not been out shooting since to notice an issue.

The chrome finish really is nice and the new leatherette cover a lot grippier. With all of the new cameras on the market competing for your hard earned money, I would still…
