digital in the gallery

[Bertram2]

i can assure you that i have not received any 'hate' mail from anyone.

but in fact we are called rangefinder forum for a reason and i would like it if the main focus was kept to rf cameras.
obviously the rd-1 is an exception.

there is no fight here.

Applause. The rules are clear and that's IT ! Why should we now discuss if an Olympus 5050 is an RF ? Can't be meant really serious. Reminds me to that err.. hmm "question" recently if a 35mm can be tolerated as a "normal" lens too, just because so many use it as their normal lens. 🙄

Rules do not make sense if they get bended until they fit for everyone.
I've put up my latest Scotland pics all in my own gallery, because they were shot with a (analog) SLR and a P&S. And as long as we haven't an non-RF section in the gallery i consider this to be the correct way to keep RFF as what it was thought.

If I want to watch digital photos I have thousand galleries to chose from.

I don't have problem with admin enforcing forum rules, I laugh at the ones who complain to the admin about the digital pics though.

 

[Bertram2]

I shudder at opening this can of worms again, .

So I do, seeing you opened it anyway. At the end we might find that all cameras are rangefinders which meter a a distance, and at the very end somebody will ask if a fixed focus disposable will be a ranger finder too, more ore less beeing a sort of "basic AF" ?
No thanks, not this quatsch again please, folks have mercy with an old man !

No problem ? Why then this provocative and not very intelligent question if the pics "harm" anybody ?

BTW I haven't sent ever a complaint mail about other members to an admin,in this case either, tho the pics bother me indeed. I said already why.

Drat!

I just about stopped posting to the Gallery because when I opined that I thought it was one of the most important aspects of the site I got the bejeezes beaten out of me. The first moderator was amongst those doing so.

But now the Gallery is sacrosanct! Woe to he or she that wouldst post a non-RD-1 digital shot there!

Yet, it is said, that's, in part, because these tresspassers do not post on threads. But then again, those who dare do so shall be subjected to editing and deletion!

And, of course, this post will duly be deleted by the RFF Ayatollah.

Manolo,

dumb question: what is Decaff ??

Thanks,

It's analogous to "lite beer" and "low carbohydrate bread"... coffee with no kick!

Apparently some folks are just using the free gallery to display their digital pix and aren't contributing to the forum. They most likely don't use RF cameras.

It was a rhetorical question for all complainers not the admin. Albeit, it does takes a certain level of reading comprehension to see that.

Bertram,

An even dumber question: what's 'quatsch'?

Maybe the Gallery should be limited to Sponsors? 🙂

You know, you get what you pay for? 😎

I'm not one of the ones sending PM's to moderators, either, but I agree with Joe's effort. It's a RF gallery with ONE folder called 'Other,' which IIRC was designated for non-RF film cameras. The sister DSLR site is for posting digital.

I come here to see film images from RF cameras. I don't mind seeing the occassional digital, and I'm more tolerant when the source of the digital image is a participating member (read: an RF user).

I can see digital at any number of online galleries and blogs, but this is the only place where I can see film images made with RF cameras. That's unique and worth maintaining.

Yeh, that's the guy - he has a Tibetan cousin goes by the name: Yeti 😀

Maybe you should stop trying to turn RFF into a two tier website. That is the second time you have called for preferential treatment for people who have made donations.

As a Gallery participant, I have NEVER posted a digital picture... :angel:

Oh, I have snuck in a couple of film SLR shots... 😉

But I fail to see what the big deal is about all of this. Just restrict the Gallery to sponsor-members and let them post as they want. Then "peer pressure" will likely obtain the desired result of RF pics (m/l) only.

Membership doth (or should) have its privileges and, consequently, obligations.... 😎

Actually... aren't ALL photos posted on the internet digital, by definition? 😱

It would appear you believe one of those obligations is to behave like a pompous ass.

 

[back alley]

what we post or what/if we pay has nothing to do with it.

we are a forum populated by rf enthusiasts and that is our main purpose/focus.
