Re: Leaf
my not-so-important point was that we get fed info here..and in varing degrees of transparency, it was just a reminder to me of that and when it come to getting info about products I would rather hear it from a fellow photographer who is not embedded with a manufacturer.. I am sure yair and the other "reps" do their best to relay as much info as they can.. but as I said, for obvious reasons they can't really write here the truth as they know it or even guess at it, whereas shooters such as myself and spout off how we see reality..may not have any worth either! my point other not-so-brilliant point about the whitehouse, they talk about openess and transparency but it seems they are open about just what they want to tell, not what the folks what to know about...time for me to use the deadhorse too.:deadhorse:
Hi Paul,
I think I understand your point of view as it is hard to get a complete picture without having access to the actual agreements between the few parties that are involved.
Specifically in this case, there is a lot more going on that cannot be shared and it will be irresponsible on my part to provide information that is not meant to be public. but that's life as they say...
This has less to do with wanting to be transparent and more to do with having to keep the integrity and continuity of those agreements.
Anyway, I've been asked to provide info on the current offerings and was "dragged" into this AFi discussion...to be honest I was expecting it and I have no problem answering as many question as I can, but obviously I do want to try and serve the interest of customers as well as the interest of the companies involved.
As many said before, there is no substitute to having 1st hand experience with the product and no matter what others (reps, colleagues, mates or whoever) say, you should be making your decision only after you have tried it yourself, if possible.
Best
Yair
