Perhaps a trivial question, but is the w/nw forum strictly for photos from RF's? Or is it a place to share photos in general taken by any camera? If it's the former, then I apologize for violating the rule...
I've just recently gone through a few of these riffs & it's fun to see the different takes/interpretations on a topic. Hope to see the rest...
Cheers, j

J, this IS the rangefinder forum, so RF is strongly encouraged. Some may post an SLR shot in a thread as an example of something or in a W/NW, but I'd think that would be fairly infrequent... and I admit to doing that myself, though I omit any revealing tech details with the post!
Some have put up loads of dSLR shots in their RFF galleries, and I deplore that personally, and will not comment on them. I'm sure that's pretty hard for the admins to try to control. But in fact I have a couple of SLR shots in my gallery too, and I just claim the camera is a "wannabee RF"! There IS a companion SLR site, and oddly enough there are rangefinder shots appearing there! Go figure...

Doug,
I'm shocked...just shocked!
My meager gallery here contains no slr shots, nor would I post a SLR shot in one of the discussion threads except for some specific purpose of illustrating RF vs SLR capabilities.
Sometimes I chomp at the bit on these W/NW threads because I don't have an RF shot to contribute, but I could easily find one from my SLR shots. I take that as motivation to take the RF out and shoot some more.

Extreme variation of Doug's theme, and an appreciated one. This is RFF and therefore it would be nice if everything was RF, but we live in the real world. We all, or pretty close to all have other systems along with our RFs, so if an SLR shot slips in every once and a while that is OK, as long as it isn't the norm.

Doug, Steve, Rover: Thanks for the clarification... won't happen again.

Strictly RF for me, although I count the non-coupled CV 12mm on a Bessa L as RF, what’s the point otherwise there are plenty of places to post general photography elsewhere on the net

that's technically not a rf, sparrow...so not THAT strictly rf, i guess

I've posted lowly P&S photos in the W/NW forum! Yikes! Apologies all around ...
