True - but even with that (and acknowledging that you were presenting an absurd extreme) it is unlikely to succeed in court - primarily because it is a contained period - by the time it got to court, the photography would be done and there would be no issue... - all very different to for example...

I can't see any issues at all - light emitting from a flashgun for 1/xxx of a second is not going to constitute a statutory nuisance... It wouldn't even occur to me that it could be an issue... If you feel that it might disturb your neighbours then let them know in advance so that they are not...

Their Bristol store has always been superb in terms of customer service and I have not had issues with stuff bought there... Generally very good service from all branches - and you can have anything sent to a local branch before paying so I have several times had a couple of second hand cameras...

Also for the Z50II but with very little extra functionality - mainly a bit of bug fixing

I suspect it is one of those things where it doesn't work particularly well now - but by adding it and then developing it over time it should improve until one day it might actually be useful!

I get it repeatedly - almost never when on the ipad (Safari) but almost every session I go on with firefox on my main computer - I usually get one or two clicks through to topics then get the error... Are you able to look through the error logs on the server - it should record the issue

10 minutes before a wedding was due to start, the end of my Sigma 70-200 lens fell off... I carry duct tape in the car, so wrapped that around the hastily reassembled lens and shot the whole wedding with it (and my second camera etc.) Sent it into Sigma for repair and they asked to buy it off me...

By not worrying too much about other people... and just taking my shot... Why are you taking photos - if for yourself, then it doesn't matter what anyone else has done... If commercially, then fulfil the commercial brief and don't worry about others... There is too easy an access to others'...

I am not getting into an argument about what it is called - quite frankly you can call it what you like! Nor do I judge the morality of others online ;) My point was that shooting from a distance with a long lens will give a different feel to the photo from shooting close in with a wide lens...

It does bring a different perspective, but I think that esp. with lenses which are easy to test - 2nd hand is the way forward for me, the quality : value ratio is superb...

The difference is simple though: - distant = observing the scene - close up = making you feel a part of the scene simple physics of lenses means that standing further away with a long lens is not the same as being closer with a wide angle lens. It includes other items that would be excluded...

I watched a youtube video recently looking at the 'progress' in camera tech and it made some good points that relate to this question... If a lens was considered to be very good / very sharp in f-mount format - bringing in a sharper / better lens in z-mount format doesn't make the original lens...

I have used photoshop since version 0.98 on a Mac Plus - and lightroom since it first began - it used to be that you needed both to fulfil workflow, but increasingly photoshop is needed less and less - there are still a few things where it is more powerful, but lightroom (classic) has become far...
