    And Blue. Gate to the backyard. Pentax 645z with 90mm f2.8.

    This might sound like a commercial for a product but I assure you it is unpaid testimony from my own experience. I use two cameras for most of my work, a Pentax 645z and a 67ii, both medium format. I have RRS Arca Swiss style QR plates on both of these and I never had a negative issue with either. The vast majority of my shots are done using a tripod, on which I have the RRS lever release clamp. I found this to be very secure and quick to use, far faster than turning a knob. Perhaps because of the size of these cameras my workflow works well with the qr plates, clamps, and tripod. Regards.

    Hi Mark, this is a great looking photograph but I get the feeling that it is leaning down on the right a bit. Perhaps that is just an illusion but a slight rotation CCW might help that. Regards.

    Hi Doug, the update photo function actually does work but it takes over a week for the servers to "digest" the update. I have been using the update photo function for the last couple of months and that is what I have seen. Regards.

    I would say"Lock him up!" but it's too late for that.

    I currently have the NEC PA242W (which is now replaced by the similar PA243W) and I love it. Not only does this support a wide color gamut but it has inputs that can handle multiple cable types. I have three computers connected to my monitor using display port, dvi, and hdmi and everything works beautifully. And it is less expensive than EIZO.

    Thanks for the reply. I have a pretty good idea of how the ionizers work but my main question is will the alpha particle emanations harm the CMOS sensor of my camera? The alpha particles are quite massive and energetic; the Nuclespot contains a 5mCi source, which is very strong for a device available to the general public. Is there any evidence that these could harm the sensor? My camera is the Pentax 645Z. I would remove the lens, open the lens (sensor cleaning mode) and let the Nuclespot do its work.

    Thanks for the replies. Just a heads-up, the Nuclespot polonium ionizer is available under limited NRC license. One does not really purchase the Nuclespot but leases it under license. Regards.

    When I switched from film to digital format I was hoping to finally be free from problems of dust contamination but, alas, that did not happen. Now, instead of dust on my film I have dust on my sensor. Usually this is not too bad but in some cases it really is troublesome. I have used various methods to remove the sensor dust, such an air bulb blower and wet cleaning, but some always remains, possibly because of static charges between the dust particles and the sensor. Question: Would it be possible to use something to dissipate the static, such as the Nuclespot polonium ionizer or similar, without hurting the sensor (my camera uses a CMOS sensor). I propose that one could remove the lens with the camera facing down and place it over the alpha generator for a time. My hopes being that the ionizer would knock the dust off the sensor. Any thoughts?

    Somewhere I saw that PhotoNet earns in the neighborhood of $500 a month. I guess that would be enough to pay the bills but I don't think it would be much of an incentive for a business of any size to continue the effort. I could be wrong. Regards.
