Hello, I remember a thread from several weeks ago regarding FA 28-105 f/3.2 in black finish. Looks like B&H will be stoking an imported version some time soon. Price is still unavailable at this time, though I anticipate that it will not be too much higher than current price this lens in silver fi

One of my pins is shorter also. It seems that when the power switches between the body and grip, the readings can be odd. There have been previous threads on this. If I get a low battery reading, I turn the camera off and on and then it is ok again. Wish I could remember the entire thread, but

Galen Rowell lost such a court case at least once. it was for a long time "prove you will never sell any of these photos" and then we will give your equipment and film back. if you could, sometimes, you got some of your equipment back within a year. his climbing friends had lost several such cases.

Commercial photography which rightly should require a permit is easy to id. First clue, there is an equipment van. Second clue, there are 2 to 30 people involved. Third clue is huge relectors and light blocking panals. 4th.. Props and prop wranglers. Then there are all the talent hanging about.
