It is sad Mark, even though I've only joined up recently to see how a proper forum should be run, it's sad when any of your regular haunts closes down, kinda leaves a empty feeling in your belly.  I should imagine the owner and rest of the team will feel bad for a while too.

This place will be here, even if it's just a backup place to hang out.  :tup:

Well, today is the day that POTN is turned off - I have been a member of that forum for close on 18years. Will be sad to see it go - and I really hope that both this forum and its direct replacement survive!

Wierdly, its quite sad.

Just Curious.  Which eye do you use when looking through your cameras viewfinder?

Also has anyone made the switch from right to left or vice versa, and if so why?

Maybe try this test to see if you're using the correct eye.  ;)

DSLR Cameras / I must be one of the rare ones...
Last post by Mick - December 27, 2023, 04:33:12 PM
Just thinking the other day, I must be one of the only people left who haven't constantly upgraded my cameras and lenses, I'm still using a Canon 30D atm. lol..

Partly put this down to the fact I kind of lost interest in the hobby, and partly down to the fact I have cataracts in my right eye and await the operation to get that sorted.  Then of course there's the cost, I just took a look around and the prices are pretty steep nowadays.

I would however like to get back into photography at some point and wondering whether to make the jump to Mirrorless.  In your opinion is that the way to go now?

Mark, It Would be nice to see a few of the original members posting again but I'm not holding my breath on that one lol..

I'm now wondering what we could do to make the place a little more active again, I just don't want to spend a fortune on hosting images so it would be more a case of how to improve the forum side of things, new features boards etc, or declutter the existing ones perhaps.
