Hi Sean,

 

I'm seeking some clarification here because I'm not sure where this thread is headed. Many times you've posted a quick summary or precis of a test or an opinion you hold based on your experience of cameras or lenses, and indicated that a full article is on your pay site if readers want more information. I've been glad of the summary even if I don't go and read whats on your site - so thanks for that. If someone else were to do what you do and give a quick summary of your findings (or any other paid information source like a book or magazine) here but recommend going to the original source for more information that would be OK by me - would it be OK by you?

There's been some interesting discussion on this issue since I posted, thanks. It seems to me acceptable to summarise and discuss opinion and information from a paid source provided copyright is not infringed. Its the same as referring to a review in a magazine and most of us would happily do that. I'm still interested to hear what you think Sean.

The Heliopan appears to be priced a twice the price of the B + W 486. Is that the right amount based on your experience? A 39mm is priced at $128 vs around $60. Is this a rip off price? Wondering before I take the plunge.

I couldn't find any 39mm IR cut filters except for the Heliopan at Adorama at the $128 price so I ordered it. Now to see if they really have it and ship it or not. Anyone know of a source for the B + W or the Heliopan in a 39mm please advise as I can still cancel this order before they ship. I have a lens arriving tomorrow and would like to put a filter on it and I have no idea when the ones I ordered from Leica will appear.
