<p>there is a distinct possibility that this is the Japanese version of the German Ebenbilddruckmesser, the major difference being that the Japanese version uses vacuum tubes. If your unit is the vacuum tube version is the one, simply obtain a 12 pin falopian tube and insert it in the unit and try it. Let us know what happens.<em> </em></p>

<p>It really is that simple. You've got the money. They've got to figure out how to get it back. Let them wait.</p>

<p>This one is pretty simple. You are under a duty to mitigate damages. That means that you are under a duty to find a substitute job for that time, using good faith attempts. If you do, they are entitled to a full refund less any costs you incur in finding the substitute work. If you find a substitute at a lower fee than you were going to charge, you make up the difference from their advance payment. If you don't find any substitute, you keep the the entire advance payment.</p>

<p>"Joint and Several" is a form of ownership, usually of real property, that has the characteristics of tenency in common, but all title passes to the survivor in the event of death of one of the tenants. It is irrelevant to this discussion.</p>

<p>Translation: xxx can use any of these photos for free, for ever.. BTW, so can you. What do you get for your magnificent gift? I don't know.</p>

<p>I have a JD too. He may not understand his use of legalese, but I do. Just trust me on this.</p>

<p>"Joint and Several" describes liability, not ownership. It is therefore meaningless in this context.</p>

<p>You, or he, want either joint ownership with right of survivorship, or ownership in common. Find out which and then we can talk.</p>

<p>Your appear to have been paid in full to date. That puts you in the driver's seat.</p>

<p>Your measure of damages is the contract price less any money you have laid out plus your expected profit. Work that out and refund the difference. That way you are made whole (i.e. you get what you expected to get). </p>

<p>Remember, you're in the UK. You must abide by UK law. Ignore all comments regarding US law, and limit yourself to UK law.</p>

<p>I sense that your biggest problem is what we call in the States "invasion of privacy", in that he posted photos that the contract stated should not be posted, and that the reason you did not want them posted was because of the private nature of the subject matter. I see two problems:<br>

1. England might not recognize invasion of privacy as a cause of action and<br>

2. If there really is an invasion of privacy, filing a suit will publicize the private information you wish to keep private.</p>

<p>See youir solicitor.</p>

<p>My first impression of this shot was that it was of a bridesmaid straightening the bride's train. Then I read the explanation and comments. If the bride liked it, OK. Otherwise, I am simply confused.</p>

<p>Waiver? What is he waiving? And how will that help you? I'm going into the bathroom to vomit.</p>

<p>I am a retired attorney. Your problem(s) are highly specialized stuff. I don't have a clue as to the solu-<br>

tion(s) to your problem(s). Nor do any of the folks posting on photo.net <em>unless</em> they are attorneys specializing or working in the area of immigration law. I strongly suggest that you contact an immigration lawyer for advice.</p>

<p>I had something like this once. It was called a surveyor's transit.</p>

<p>Whatever your religion, check with your spritual advisor for a prayer of thanks for having managed a narrow escape. Utter it and go on with your life.</p>

<p>Sandy; I hate to contradict but there is a responsibility to the B&G. This would be a "third party beneficiary contract" which can be enforced by the "real" beneficiary.</p>

<p>To repeat;<em><strong> get out now! </strong></em><strong></strong>You haven't even gotten to the post production complaint period yet. Even if you are the veritable Rembrandt of photography, you won't even recognize how bad the photos are until you are told by the SIL and the B&G. Not to mentioln the Bride's mother.<br>

This is nothing but a disaster on its way to happening.<br>

My advice comes from many years as a practicing lawyer. When people are extra picky and annoying going into a contract, they are worse when the work is completed.</p>

<p>You poor bastard!<br>

First: there is no contract. All correspondence has shown that a contract is conditioned on the existence of a <em>signed </em>contract. Since there is none, you can back out <em>now.</em><br>

Do the smart thing. Tell everyone concerned that there is no contract, and that they are left with the option of finding another photographer. You are out.<br>

If you do anything else, you will live to regret it.</p>

<p>Let's put this in technical legal terms. You have directed the person holding the camera what to shoot, how to shoot, and what equipment to use. It is my opinion that this makes him or her your agent. You hold the copyright.</p>

<p>Thanx to everyone for the help. I've decided to use my 60mm closeup and just learn to live with it. And Lilly, don't worry about punctuation. I used to work as an editor, and simply corrected it in my head without trouble. Besides, you gave a lot of effort to your response, and a minor punctuation problem didn't distract from its value to me.</p>

<p>You're right, it is a G. The label says "ED", and I misread it. There is no aperture ring.<br>

I do have a 60mm macro lens, but I'm trying to get some distance between the front of that lens and the subject.<br>

Thanx for your help.</p>

<p>Is it possible to use the Nikon 70-200 mm f2.8D with a macro bellows, and if so, how do I control the f stop?</p>

<p>10-20 Sigma. Here is a sample.<a href="../photo/7975614&size=lg"><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7975614-md.jpg" border="0" alt="Kiteboarding" width="679" height="451" /></a></p>
