Peter Kilmister Posted December 1, 2016 Share #241 Posted December 1, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) 17/17/17 is about as useful a contribution as I can give although, "It was a cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen ...." was much better and at least Eric Blair's follow on was brilliant.

Rick Posted December 2, 2016 Share #242 Posted December 2, 2016 Hi Jono - I love spring. I can hardly wait. I get to look at pictures of your part of the world and see pictures of winter and your dog and woodlands around your cool country house. A picture or two of your lovely family. Then... I get a new camera!!! Yeah. RickLeica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 2, 2016 Share #243 Posted December 2, 2016 Spring is my favorite season as well but May is the month i prefer. As we say in Paris, « in May do what you want ». http://www.rueamandine.com/5-good-reasons-to-visit-paris-in-may/. Shopping Faubourg Saint-Honoré for example... https://www.google.fr/maps/uv?hl=fr&pb=!1s0x47e66ff716fe98eb:0x1c73ce3641f6bafe!2m16!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i20!16m10!1b1!2m2!1m1!1e1!2m2!1m1!1e3!2m2!1m1!1e4!3m1!7e115!4shttps://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname%3D109386742964151802024%26id%3D6114909778613501682%26target%3DPHOTO!5s+-+Recherche+Google&imagekey=!1e3!2s-HLB3N8CWAlQ/VNyGC6PR_vI/AAAAAAAAAGg/fVm0RZrFdps0eKzlKIZPLVhLrn7Ysq2vwCJkC.

jmahto Posted December 6, 2016 Share #245 Posted December 6, 2016 I need the next M to have replaceable digital back. I can then carry only one camera for film and digital. .... and I need it to be slim. This will be a camera for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted December 6, 2016 Share #246 Posted December 6, 2016 In the years 2006-2008 more or less, there was a firm that tried to develop a sensor that had the form of a film cassette with a sensor attached to it that you could put in your camera instead of a film. Don't know how this ended Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kilmister Posted December 6, 2016 Share #249 Posted December 6, 2016 @jmahto: Your post confirms my suspicions. Great idea, but totally useless to put into practice. Mind you, there is probably still some boffin in a shed still trying to perfect the design. Alchemy, pure alchemy! Or as Kenneth Williams said in the 1964 film 'Carry On Cleo', "Infamy, infamy, they've all got in in for me." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted December 6, 2016 Share #250 Posted December 6, 2016 There was this prototype https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3965100It is not feasible (commercially) to make a generic back but for a given model (like M), it is certainly technically possible (see prototype pics in the link above).I think future is shaped by market forces and business goal (hence digital obsolescence), and not solely by technology.

jmahto Posted December 8, 2016 Share #259 Posted December 8, 2016 Didie is defined as another way to spell didy, which is a term used for a baby diaper. An example of didie is a baby's diaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
