Perhaps it might become as sparse as the medium format or large format groups, but I see nothing wrong with that. You will not be seeing my posts on any digital equipment groups. I post because I welcome the chance to help others, when possible. I also read many posts, because none of us can know too much. You are one of the good posters still left here, Gordon. Seems like there are far fewer than there once were. Are you sick of DSLR stuff posted here? I use these sometimes for work (and sometimes digital backs on medium format). I also spend hours in PhotoShop, or on a computer. Most of my work is still film, and I hit the burnout level trying to discuss much of anything digital outside of work. I complained about all the DSLR posts over a year ago, though it seemed many did not care. The argument then was that too many P&S people were on rec.photo.digital, and that was why so many DSLR posts were placed here instead. Anyway, the short answer is yes . . . by the way, thanks for the compliment. Personally I'm not, but I can understand how others would be sick of the Shoot-In and/or DSLRs. I don't mind the Shoot-In, though it too seems to have been of more benefit to direct digital users, especially when the time frame was shorter between assignments. I was glad to see film shots, and there have been some really nice images. Perhaps if this were a camera collector news group, rather than just using the word "equipment", then it might be more of an issue. However, if it was, or became, a camera collector group, then I doubt I would be here. Talk about overkill! In RFD #4 the four new groups would be rec.photo.digital.slr-systems rec.photo.digital.zlr rec.photo.digital.point+shoot rec.photo.digital.rangefinder I think some will not get much attention due to few postings. I also think there are too many newbies using direct digital to understand the difference between ZLR and P&S, or even SLR. I would expect either lots of cross postings, or one group getting the bulk of posts. Interesting, but since I won't be posting on any of those, I don't care what they do with those groups. I also don't mind the DSLR users leaving here for what they might see as a better place. Ciao! Gordon Moat A G Studio http://www.allgstudio.com/gallery.html Updated! |

In RFD #4 the four new groups would be rec.photo.digital.slr-systems rec.photo.digital.zlr rec.photo.digital.point+shoot rec.photo.digital.rangefinder The original post is a forgery of a regular in news.groups, which manages the *creation* of new charters for big 8 NGs. Written probably by someone who wants to keep putting flies in the ointment and, among many agendas, change the charters of this group and rec.photo.digital. Okay, that makes more sense. There's a very long history- all within the last few weeks!- of why the names, why the multiple groups, etc. are being proposed in the FRD's being posted in news.groups and in r.p.d. There is a large group of Usenet individuals whose primary enjoyment is disrupting as many groups as possible. Almost all use anonymous remailers, and some are into very questionable, or even illegal, internet practices. Many of them like to go after the more popular news groups. There are a few individuals like these who use real e-mail addresses, like Steve Young, though none of these individuals has any interest in photography, and I doubt any of them even own a camera. This is the nature of Usenet, so I would expect nothing less. People will not get along with each other, nor respect others, when they feel there is little chance of repercussions. It now is clearer than ever, that changes to an existing charter cannot be done, so perhaps over time those who keep trying to force that will find other opportunites to promote change. -- John McWilliams I don't mind at all if a rec.photo.digital.slr group is created. I think it would be a great place for many of those interested individuals to go, and to leave r.p.e.35mm largely absent of direct digital SLR discussions. I have no interest in participating in any digital news groups. Ciao! Gordon Moat A G Studio http://www.allgstudio.com Updated! |

In RFD #4 the four new groups would be rec.photo.digital.slr-systems Why the 'systems' bit? rec.photo.digital.zlr What is a zlr? It's what some people call the non-detachable lens SLRs made by Olympus. It's also what some people call the "prosumer" digicams that use electronic viewfinders and therefore aren't reflex cameras at all. rec.photo.digital.rangefinder That Epson thing and none else? I don't think there are any more. I can see Voigtlander/Cosina coming out with their own version of the Epson RD1 (it is based on their 35mm rangefinders after all), and Leica are supposedly working on their own digital RF body, but ISTM that these would be just as productively discussed in the SLR group, even though they're not reflex cameras. |
