actually I've not insisted at all that customers should have the raws at all. I said that for my wedding I bought the copyright and after the wedding I got one dvd with the processed jpegs and one with raws, the latter DVD actually surprised me, I wasn't expecting them but I was pleased to have...

okay, well to move the virus/hard disk crash situation into the real world, that album could easily succumb to fire or water damage and when it cost hundreds and hundreds of pounds, that hurts. when it's less than a ton then it's a shame but easily re-created. anyway, as we've said before...

to be fair, that applies to you as much as me :) david

you're right, but then I can easily print it again well, honestly, the main reason *I* want the raw's is because I'm an amateur photographer and so am interested in messing about with the pics myself, but yes I agree that most clients would not know what to do with the raw's, but the...

I'm not sure I am. I do agree that I have a bee in my bonnet about IP law and most aren't as bothered as I am, but I do think that a lot of people have expectations when they hire a professional photographer. from the clients point of view, they might well expect to own the photos and do...

I honestly don't understand this example... if the B&G own copyright then by default no, but if you think it's a really great shot then I would imagine you'd ask them for permission and more than likely they'd give it to you and then you would. she has to approach the ones holding the...

I think things are changing. I think they weren't practical and are becoming mores over time which is why I'm more than happy to get the jpegs, but having the raws too lets me play with them if I want to, like a magazine sub-editing the work of a journalist. I might like what you've done but...

I must admit, I'm with the OP. if I'm paying a photographer to take pictures for me, then I'm paying him to take pictures *for me*, i.e. I have commissioned the work, they are my pictures and I feel that I should hold ownership over them. You may not agree with me and that's fine, but it's...

I do think that leica missed a trick here by not putting exposure compensation (and ISO for that matter) on the shutter speed dial like epson did on their RD1. it seems such a logical place to put it, you can easily see exactly what the compensation is, it's very manual which fits in with...

I suspect it's more like FF = more expensive = we need to make it very very good to justify the cost... dave

HoppyUK: I think I see where you're coming from and I guess I see how that can work. However one would think that continuous AF might have some further effect. I know what you mean about misfocussing more often being the user's fault, but when you're looking at fast lenses then the depth of...

Hi all, ok, so I know that some (perhaps all to some extent) autofocus SLR lenses mis-focus, either a bit too close, or a bit far. my question is, why? my understanding of a camera's AF system is that they work on phase or contrast detection. ie a sensor behind the mirror "sees" the image...

I'd love to hear your further opinions as my father is looking for a new camera so I'm quite interested. oh, and I couldn't get your flickr link to work.. any chance of a repost? dave

The best bino's I've used have been either leica or swarovski but they're well above £150. In lieu of those brands, I've been very happy with my Pentax DCF MP 8x28 bino's. I think I bought them off amazon a few years ago for about £130. not sure what the current price is. an alternate option...

that 10-24 is a DX lens isn't it? you'd "need" the 14-24 F2.8 dave
