I am amazed that out of 92 views only 8 replys! The people in this forum usually have a great deal to say...what happened here, especially on a very important question?
Oh well, I guess it's time to....

8 to 92. That's a very normal response-rate. And although it's interesting to see what people are looking for in TPF, this is probably not a 'very important question' for a lot of people (including me, I just like to add my 2 cts).

But that is what makes it important...that you want to add your "2 cts." :thumbup:

Oh, and just one word on the reply:views ratio: never forget that many outsiders come and read but never reply because they are not registered! They push the view-count up as much as members coming to look into a thread do.

I joined quite a while ago, then school got really busy. But when I came back, I was glad to find that the forum was as active as before and as informative as before.

I always thought that this forum was simply the best I could find. To me, being here is all about learning and teaching. Just the other day I posted some blabla about lens conversion factors in reply to someone looking for opinions about a lens. Funny thing is, I learned about this lens-conversion-factor thing just days before, from fellow TPF members. And I just thought that the passing on of knowledge is such an amazing thing, and it happens every second around here.

You post your pictures and look at others' pictures, you interact, you ask questions, post answers, critiques, and comments. And with everyone being so friendly and helpful, everything just comes along so smoothly.

I would like to think this forum helps people see photography in a new and larger way, but who knows it might be about which is better the kon or the non.

Btw the 'tax is better than either :lmao:

IMO the great thing about TPF is we can have those debates of the "my vast Japanese corporation is better than your vast Japanese corporation" variety, or (God forbid it should ever happen again) even the film vs digital variety, but they are mostly debates and sensible ones. Compare that to the forums on Dpreview (no offence intended to anyone who frequents it), where the levels of abuse, pettiness and factionalism can be unbelievable. I'm sure it helps that here it's not all divided up into lots of separate forums by brand name, professional experience etc, but basically the people and the culture here just seem more reasonable, helpful and friendly.
