I’m a bit late on the uptake here but assuming this thread in question is the one about the undisclosed v1 version of the X shutter as it is currently locked. I don’t see anything wrong going on there. Or was it another thread?
To lose a member like Lou is shameful. I have no power here but I will simply make my request that it be unlocked, or a real reason be given for it.
Like Paul, photography for me is personal and with close friends, and I enjoy the forums more for learning all aspects of the field. The site is called getdpi for a reason. It’s not called Luminous Landscapes etc. It’s technical at its core. When researching and purchasing such high end equipment in the pursuit of high “DPI,” it requires knowledge of the economics and companies involved as due diligence for the sometimes significant financial outlay. In a perfect world we could simply buy what we want, know it will work, and chat all day about composition and lighting and forget the shop talk. It’s far from that, and these topics are inextricably tied.
Same goes for the buy and sell forum. If it’s a conversation starter then let conversation flow. There’s been in my opinion unnecessary disruption there to get back on “topic”, whatever that is. Mods should keep out scammers and spammers and keep cool heads.
