The story is initially told as if one person did it, but then goes on to mention that others are doing it too. A reasonable overview of the phenomenon, from a non-technical mainstream newspaper.

I like the quote at the end. It's exactly how I feel too:

| “It’s more like the photography process that I was used to back in the day,” said Mr. McCully. “It slows me down and makes me think about what I’m shooting. And it’s more fun.” |
I don't agree Sony is the least compatible brand of DSLR for MF lenses - that honour goes to Nikon in my book.

I would have been nice, if the journo had spent time here, to have mentioned us - but he did produce a fairly balanced piece overall - as usual with journos, you can't expect 100% accuracy.
cogitech gets a mention too, I see.
I notice the number of new members over there has shot up a huge amount over the past two days.
Some will come this way (waves)...
