I am thinking of getting a tripod mount ring for my canon 70 200 f4 IS lens. but the price range for the products in the market are so huge. canon brand rings are sold at $149 at BHphoto also there are cheap third party options on ebay of which prices about $30-50. but I found this cheap third party which is roughly only about $10. http://cgi.ebay.com/Tripod-Mount-Ring-A-W-for-Canon-EF-70-200-300mm-Lens_W0QQitemZ110440813731QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b6c914a3I am not considering getting the canon one as I find it too expensive. but how risky do you think it would be to get the cheapest one. at the end of the day it just looks like a piece of simple metal to me but I might be wrong though. so I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks in advance

Hi.
I noticed that when I upload images to Fotolia, and that large previrew when mouse over, it has dull washed colors, but on other sites colors are preserved OK. Did you notice that problem?
May I ask what color profile you are using Peter? Because if you are using Adobe RGB image might look a bit dull on the web some sites automatically converts the thumbs to SRGB colour profile to make the colours pop but I don't think FT does so that might be the problem.

The price for the Mamiya ZDb 22 MP back has drop from $7,199 to $3,699 at B&H.
Yeah, that price is starting to look affordable.
It looks affordable for a digital back but what would put me off is the 50-400 ISO range of it

BTW I am pretty much sure that around 70-80% of all microstock earnings are made by a group of just a few hundred photographers.
Totally agree! In this sense micros seems to have become a bit of like macros like smaller number of photographers were in the business it was hard to get in whereas micros seem to be open for almost anyone to join but it seems to me now micros start to have it's own caste. the rest of the thousands of contributes will likely to remain as hobbyists or might even give up.Just to clear up I am not criticising anything or anyone just wanted to express my thoughts on the industry.I hope this was not too off topic.

I think it would be around 1/200 or 1/250 and 1/500 for medium format cameras.

I really wonder what's going on with DT?
Lowest number of downloads in the first half of Sept. in many months.
All the other top sites are doing well.
last month was my BME on DT but this months likely to be WME ,I can't understand such dramatic decline ??

dumb question but how do you know if your files get flagged. do you get notified by e-mail? I checked my folio to see if I got flagged too but I couldn't figure out ?

I haven't had any issues with payouts but StockXpert seems to be slowly dying for me. My new files gets hardly any views and only older files keeps selling thus lower sales less revenue:((( Like somebody mentioned above I too keep uploading as it is quite easy process and reviews are fasts without any issues.But I got a feeling they might just shut down end of this year .I know nothing but just guessing from what I have seen.

lately my sales have gone down by 50% ,which were never great anyway.but I still keep uploading.But I don't like the new upload system it is far too complicated even worse than before. it is a very time consuming process I am not sure if it is worth uploading any more?  ?

I don't really see their point.what would be so bad about having too many releases? To my point of view the first picture should have one model release but it could not be end of the world receiving release for the person in the background.strange really.!

lately I have more sales there too like one sale a day,which is amazing from crestock. but I stopped uploading looong ago and I don't think I will upload again as this .25cent royalties and all other issues drives me mad. having said that I wish they were doing better and i hoe they were good enough to take stockxperts place,who seems to be slowly dying.sad to see this is happening:(

A quote from dpreview:
The 5D Mark II is a great camera, but I really feel that the 7D (with the exception of sensor size) is what the 5D Mark II should have been. I totally agree with the statement above.Having said that I only wish to have the frame rate adjustments on my beloved 5d m2 all the rest can be missed out, except for dual processor as it must be what enables the camera to shoot HD video at higher frame rates.

also new: releases require a models birthday
I am quite worried that models might not want to include the exact day and month only year should be enough. Btw Thanks for the heads up and posting this I did receicve the newsletter from IS but I didn't read it properly.
