<p>Here in the UK there are (currently) no legal issues with posting images of wedding guests (and their children) on your commercial website - providing that you are acting in accordance with a wedding couple or "event organiser" who have in turn made it known to their guests that a photographer will be in attendance.</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br /><br />I was fairly sure that under English law, you have the right to not have your image used in advertising if you don't want to. Having the permission of the wedding couple or organiser isn't enough unless they have made it known before the event to every guest whose images are used. I'm sure this doesn't happen. It certainly hasn't at any wedding I have been to as a guest.</p>

<p>A British comedy programme summed this up a few years ago. Black and white is art, colour is porn!</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I particularly like the idea of an f/0.5 lens. Why, I could take pictures in a coal mine at night with no lights or flash.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>With the current trend for super high ISO settings on cameras, I thought people were doing that already!</p>

<p>Probably not valid if you don't read it but it does show that they have considered it.</p>

<p>Ah... No 7... a real motorcycle!</p>

<p>These look great... and there is a self portrait in every shot!</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I'll begin by confessing a certain bias here, having four Mamiya TLRs (2 x C3, C220, C330f).</p>

</blockquote>

<p>The same number as me. (C3, C33, C330S and an original Mamiyaflex).</p>

<p>A model release has no legal standing in the UK.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>The only thing I can imagine that has any similarity to HDR is audio compression</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br />An audio compressor is analogous to adjusting the brightness up and down. A multi frequency band parallel compressor is closer to HDR for audio.</p>

<p>As <em><strong>Steve S.</strong></em> stated: "<em>spraying in some cleaning solution</em>", can in fact make it's way to this "lever" to make more fluid the return action; but doing this in an area that has other lubricated surfaces along with electronic components, is tantamount to spraying a fine watch with WD40 because it isn't keeping proper time...</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br /><br />I agree that it would be if done as you describe. However, I removed the lever and applied a minute amount of cleaner. In fact, I think I just applied a couple of drops rather than spray it in. And it would be of little consequence if it found its way to any electronics as it was Servisol electrical contact cleaner (WD40 would also be o.k. with electronics).</p>

<p>Mains adapter might be slower at recycling?</p>

</blockquote>

<p>More likely faster.</p>

<p>I have since sold my XE-1 but I'm fairly sure that just cleaning up the area where the wind on lever is mounted also fixed the jamming problem. Perhaps the mechanism involved is very close and just happened to be inadvertently cleaned at the same time.</p>

<p>Upload them to somewhere such as Photobox and hand out a link so people cam buy prints directly. Minimal work for you with the possibility of some income.</p>

<p>I cured mine of this problem by removing the wind lever, spraying in some cleaning solution, replacing the lever and working it a few times. The inability to wind on is due to the mechanism preventing you from winding on twice not getting out of the way in time. It usually only happens if you try to wind on immediately after pressing the shutter. A short delay helps.</p>

<p>I have a Rolleicord V. It's probably my favourite of my 70+ film camera collection and would be the one I would keep if I could only have one.</p>

<p>The Schneider lens is excellent. I'm always surprised by its sharpness.</p>

<p>I made holders for my Epson 4870 for all 120 formats from 6x4.5 up to 6x12 and for 5" x 4" film.<br>

It seems to work best with the film 2.5mm above the glass.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>This is what makes me laugh at people who post questions like "I have a roll of Tri-X that expired last month. Can I still use it?"<br /><br /></p>

</blockquote>

<p>Or "I'm not going to use it for two months, do I need to keep it in the freezer?"</p>

<blockquote>

<p>She (and you) has a right to control how her likeness is used for commercial purposes.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Exactly that. Being either a criminal or an alleged criminal should not remove that right.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I don't understand the concept of photos being "subject to rejection".</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br /><br />All photographs are subject to rejection if they are not fit for purpose, regardless of any contract terms.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>one has over 200v, not good for any modern cameras.</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br />Except that most modern cameras ate o.k. up to 250 volts.</p>

<p>The thyristor in the cheap Cactus triggers is also rated at 400 volts.</p>

<blockquote>Low Bidders Putting Pros Out of Business !</blockquote>

<p>The implication of your title is that the low bidders are not pros. However, if they're getting the business then they are.<br>

You might not like the idea of losing business to others who can undercut you but that is what happens in business.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I am suprised that it is thought she might have used an SLR and a couple of lenses</p>

<p>Several years ago I was one of the doubters about slowpoke variable aperture budget kit zooms, like the 18-70 DX that was often bundled with the D70. It took a few years but I gradually came to appreciate the convenience and optical quality,</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br />That is a particularly good 'kit lens'. I have one on my D3200 but I bought it for a D100 ten years ago.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>People use legos all the time in toys</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /><br />No. They use Lego. It's already plural and doesn't need an S on the end.<br /><br />But yes, people use all sorts of things made by other people/companies which are seen in photographs, TV and movies such as clothes, cars, phones, anything really.<br /><br />Another question would be how would the manufacturer of these items have a valid complaint about anyone depicting these items in everyday use? Unless there was defamation or inappropriate association, then they can have no complaint.</p>

<p>A label on the back telling you how many turns from start to first frame then turns from frame to frame would work without moving the red window..<br /><br />I did this on a Polaroid conversion to 120.</p>
