There are two kinds of Cokin-P filter holders: one holds 3 filters, another ("slim" design) holds only one. I got both, since they are cheap (not so Singh-Ray filters, bot they are well worth the price you pay).

"He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone..." MP may not be without faults - but they are trying hard and are open to suggestions. I like the site very much, I think it has potential, I think it may need to re-examine a couple of things...I think I will keep uploading

It is funny to see how differently various sites work for different people. I am not quite sure if StockXpert accepted me on the first or the second attempt (but it happened rather quickly) - and I find it to be a very consistent site in regard to accepting images and sales. Sure, odd rejections happen - but I have learned to have a second (much more critical) look at the rejected images - and (surprise surprise) - I always find something which I overlooked the first time around.

Not a browser - it is back to normal. All other sites displayed OK at the time.

Thanks - that's what I see too. I guess there is a problem there (not the only one, may I say)

Basically, I can't see any images, including my own. Just a general image icon comes up - and that's it. Anyone experiencing similiar difficulty ? No problem with other sites.

Well, I buy all my stuff from B&H in NY. No custom fees or taxes on photographic equipment here in Australi - just shipping + 10% GST (or VAT) if you prefer. Although in the last year the prices dropped significantly here - it still is a no-brainer buying from B&H, if one has some faith in Canon's quality system (worked for me so far, touch wood )

Still very slow for me

Just curious - no hidden agenda other than comparison with other sites.

The first sign that things are not going well is usually slowdown in review time. The longer the review time - the worse the sales. I do not know if this correlation was observed by other people - but for me a slowdown in reviews invariably means no sales afterwards. It is like a flu symptom - first there is a symptom, then there is flu

As above. Say you uploaded 1000 images to SS. What percentage of them has at least one sale ?

"Give the terrorists free and serious trials according to the law, without resorting to saddam-style torture. If that makes things harder and some people slip through the net, well tough. People have to die for western ideals, just as they died in the past battles which brought us our freedoms."
Agree with the first. Regarding the "People have to die for western ideals..." - if you mean our people - then not necessarily. Rather make the other *insult removed* die for it.

Well, Madelaide, when reverting to history - let's put things in real context. "And quite frankly, if Hitler had set his foot in Poland only, or maybe on a couple of other countries, nobody would have moved a finger." Correct - nobody did. Neither France nor UK, with whom Poland had a military pact at that time. Well, their turn came next - and quickly at that. Nobody did a thing when Czech Republic was attacked, or Austria...which only shows you the value of military pacts And then - in Tehran (1943), Yalta and Potsdam (1945) - these countries (and some more) have been promptly sold to Stalin. And...and...

Yes. It slowed down.

"Cruelty is not a prerrogative of communism, but of dictatorship."
But of course. The difference is the scale of events. About 60 million people died in Soviet Union alone during the communist experiment. Maybe this will put things in perspective...

Recently I had some trouble - basically, I waited almost 3 weeks for review. Upon contacting Stockxpert, the images have been reviewed, and I also received an E-mail advising me to upload to "/images" directory on FTP server - which I am doing already.
The problem might have been that after uploading, adding categories and clicking "Submit" - I moved the images to "Home" folder.
The way I see it it goes like this:
1) Upload via FTP to "/images" directory
2) Search for a briefcase which contains the uploaded images (this is not "/images" directory, which already causes confusion)
3) Edit images by adding categories and click "Submit" (although status does not change, it is still "pending" which is confusing again)
4) Leave the images in a briefcase ? Move them somewhere ? If moved, will the images "disappear" from the reviewers radar ?
Anyone else finds this process very confusing ?
And what is the proper way of doing things in order to avoid delays ?

Not being American - the only thing I can blame America for is being at times naive, self-centered and heavy-handed. Not the biggest of sins, from my perspective.
At least there is a Bill of Rights and a Constitution, which can't be said about many countries - and that includes some you are so valiantly defending. Sure - it does not always work - but it is up to the people to make this happen. Far from being naive regarding the democracy - it works for most people.
Well, I know which side I am on, at any case. And I have no ilusions about what works and what doesn't. I had the opportunity to spend some time in US, Canada, Western Europe, Australia - and in some other places. For me - the conclusions are obvious and self-evident.
You - on the other hand, still need to learn a thing or two about the world you live in. Or at least you give that impression.
Now - for me at least - the discussion is over. It was not my intension to get dragged into a political debate. I am mostly interested in photography anyway.

Harry - you need a reality check. Seriously.
As I said before - forming opinions on the basis of leftist propaganda is, well, naive and uninformed.
I am not pro-war. But the world we live in is not ideal, and crap happens.
It is the long-term results and effects that count. The very fact that you can express those opinions of yours is a proof that the system you are bashing actually works (again - it is not ideal, but nothing better has been invented so far).
Regarding "Oh what a cliche! As you well know, they wouldnt be killing each other like this if it wasnt for the war.":
BS, pure and simple. Please learn something about Middle East and its history for the last 1400 years - and maybe you arrive at different conclusion.
You are a target - whether you want it or not - by the very fact of who you are, what you believe in, and what passport you carry.
There are good and bad people everywhere: what is important - is the proportions of each and the influence they carry.
And now - seriously again - back to photography.

Well - I can't resist putting my $0.02 in, mostly in regard to the statement
"Just saying "communism" is a completely moronic justification, by the way jorgeinthewater."
Is not.To pass a judgement like the above - one needs to be familiar with the subject. I am - an believe me, while USA and the president do a lot of things which are simple, crude, or outright stupid at times - it does not come even close to the true evil of communism.
I guess some familiarity with history and political systems would be of great help (if not limited to information just from newspapers and just recent years or events).
It would be good if one restricted his comments to things he is familiar with. It is fashionable (bashing USA) - and I must say this is plain uninformed and simpleminded in this case...
And I am not even American - but things like this really piss me off.
OK, enough of ranting, back to photography.
