I think there are going to be lots of complaints re this along the lines of

 

"it is"

"no it isn't"

"yes it is"

 

Etc. ad nauseam :rolleyes:

 

I think anyone considers the particulars a compomise or missed mark, its absolutly essential it be noted that this was the result of careful delberation on the part of many people and impetus of the members. I feel I should donate.

As you did not seem to get it - 'twas a joke!

 

 

Oh and you will note that I already donate - it's a pity more members don't.

Hello Andy,

 

I can't seem to pop up the New Format. It's probably just me. I know very little about computers. There might be some others out there w/ the same problem & it may be helpful if you could put a copy of the New Format on the regular screen.

 

I did notice 1 thing I would like to comment about:

 

The transformation of the Film Forum:

 

It seems to me the transformation of the Film Forum into a Darkroom category & separate M Camera section would be like the transformation of the Ham & Eggs category (a traditional North American breakfast category) into the:

 

1. Ham category.

 

2. Yolk category.

 

W/o regard for the:

 

3. Egg Whites.

 

Then: Treating them as replacement dishes, ie: Ham & Yolks in place of Ham & Eggs.

 

Someone seems to have forgotten about Barnack's, Flex's, CL's & the like. Unless all of this is accounted for in the part that won't appear on my screen.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Just for the record, there were lots of people contributing to this new format but the decision on how it should be is Andreas's and his alone. It is impossible to make everyone happy.

 

The new listing is in that link to the blog I posted a few posts back. It's also in the News section of the forum.

 

It's not on a pop-up, it's just a normal page graphic.

 

Barnacks, Leicaflexes etc would be in the collectors and historic section.

Any more thoughts on this ?

 

I for one would still like one :)

 

How about a page for specific lenses? I know there are scores of Leica lenses, so not a page for each lens ever made. I was thinking of pages for the most used and/or desired lenses -

 

Noctilux (all versions)

28 Summicron

35 Summicron

50 Summicron

35 Summilux

50 Summilux

75 Summilux

 

Each page could be a place to discuss the lens and applications for it as well as a place to post images made with it.

 

I think this would be a good addition to the website.

Hello Andy,

 

Thank you for replying to my Post.

 

When I wrote "pop up" I was not using it in the computer sense. I should have said "appear".

 

When I tried to make the new schedule appear today the same thing happened. Both in this Thread & in "News".

 

The Thread above the "New Schedule" Thread in "News" which is about "Lens Codes" worked just fine.

 

Both in this Thread & in "News" when I tried to bring up the new format by clicking on the little red "x": The computer said "This image could not be loaded".

 

Also:

 

I understand the final choice belongs to Andreas. I was just trying to be helpful.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Michael - the new schedule is not yet available. Andreas "printed" the outline of what it will look like once it will be finished.

 

The new structure will not be an "option" for those who elect to use it. It will be the new structure which will be in use by all.

 

So, you have nothing to do in order to apply the new structure. Just be patient and it will come.
