I'm a part of the market, and I will bindingly pre-order a BLACK ZI if so offered. Zeiss, do you read?

You may want to try http://pro.colormailer.com/. They do have an arm into the UK and Germany. I'm completely happy with the color prints, and find they do even b/w on colour paper pretty well.

If we have time to read this thread, we could all go out and shoot.

HERE! HERE!! ME! I have a pan shot! And I'm exceedingly proud to have a pan shot! Contax G, 45mm f/2, June 2004.<div></div>

Get a Tenba P211. This one will end your search. It i s perfect for 1 RF body and 3 lenses (and their hoods) + small stuff. Has space for more film than you will use in one day (around 18 rolls ins flat storage box). Protects properly from the elements. Does not scream "CAMERABAG - EXPENSIVE STUFF - STEAL NOW!". Does not look so oldy worldy like a Billingham. And handles just very nicely and naturally. I lived truly happily ever since I bought one.

I shoot what I shoot to see what I shoot. I mean it.

Thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on this, I appreciate. Looks much like a good technician could help me to get desired damping.

Isn't it great that the weirdest of questions relating to photography can be and are discussed in this forum? Thanks again.

Within the range of manual focus Nikkors use, I observe that the

focussing rings are considerably differently dampened. Whereas the

35mm f/1.4 is firmly dampened to a degree that the focus position

does not change easily even if you keep touching the focussing ring,

the 50mm f/1.4 is far less dampened, with the effect that I find it

difficult sometimes to keep the focus adjusted during framing

(particularly with portrait work). My preference really is with

firmer damping. Now, I wonder as to whether I'm the only human being

in this wide world thinking about this subject, and, more

importantly, as to whether anybody knows if there are means of

changing the damping characteristics of a manual focus Nikkors. I'd

be happy if I could get my often used 50mm to the damping level of my

even more used 35mm. Great appreciation for any response in advance!
