Well, I am not sure in how far I can discuss his situation here in the forum. Besides some private stuff, he was employee representative for a company. The latter just ended along with the company itself. Thus I have hope that he will be able to join the club after his current vacation - otherwise I will do Nikon again.

 

We have always been a part-time gang. Full-time PZ is not an option financially.

 

I was not trying to squeeze information about Markus' whereabouts out of you, it was more meant as kind of ironic comment to our roles in industrial brainwash (with which I agree). One of the great things at PZ is, that you don't emit video streams for more internet blabla ("internet = superconductor of stupidity" I heard an IT guy saying).

 

And before you doing Nikon again, I just want to throw in, I'd appreciate very much testing the complete Fujinons (not the kit-lenses) before going into this spectacular conservative manufacturer's portfolio.
