Still nothing from epson and thats been a week since the repair guy has been and no sign of a replacement
Update 18.04.08 - eventually got a replacement almost 5 weeks after the tech guy had been out :@
Appologises for those waiting to see my review of the Harman FB paper range. I’ve been on holiday and my R2400 has choosen not to recognise the LK cart. The engineer is coming out on tuesday so should have it published on Wednesday Night. I’ve also recived a sample pack of Fotospeed’s EG Fine art paper. This includes 2 sheets each of the highly rated platinum baryta paper in gloss, matt, warm tone gloss and lustre finish plus 3 cotton rag papers. Fotospeed also do free ICC profiling if you buy a pack of their paper (not the test pack).
I recently purchased a Carl Zeiss planar *T 50mm f1.4 and will be comparing it to an old Yashica 50mm f1.4 ML lens on my canon 40D using a contax/yashica adaptor.�
Guys With Cameras (GWCs) and Wannabes go hand in hand and whilst they are not quite directly related, they’re normally found looking for each other thanks to an influx of amateur photographers which follows on nicely from my previous thread on the impact cheap dSLR cameras are having on the industry.
GWCs are not specifically any age group or social background but they all have the same motive - using the camera to see girls naked. Most of the time GWCs have to pay models because their images are poor or not very exciting to warrant TFCD. You know what I mean, the kind bland glamour shots with a white background and tits sticking out.
With the advent of Pentax, Sony & Olympus entering the beginner market of dSLRs, the price of entry level cameras has dipped below £400 and in some case £300. This has had some consequences of both good and bad.
The good is that it has opened up photography to those who had never bothered before. The bad is that every Tom, Dick and Harry now has a website offering services, selling or giving away pictures which has upset certain industry professionals. Two years ago there where one or two dSLR’s at knockhill trackdays, now there are too many to count.
