Image Borrowing

Image borrowing - to put it nicely. This is probably not the right forum for this, but the most active, so I'm posting here. Is this person someone we know? I found three of my images used by this person to misrepresent. The three images were taken by three different lenses, none of which was a Rikenon, but that's beside the point.

Looking at other sales by this person, I see images from other MFL members too.

In past in general only being flattered may be least-cost energy path. Slightly more email ask for attribution, then contribution, then removal, then contact Auction web site https://help.aukro.ua/

and that may be all for naught -- a waste of time & energy.

Posting in funky sellers thread might get some results. Provide some leverage for the above too...

I might say that the photos are a matter of dishonesty where Hillary has unparalleled expertise, but of course I won't because it is my understanding that political comments are not appropriate in this forum.

Yes, I can confront, but I don't really get bent out of shape by these things. I can't say that I don't mind, but it is not worth going to much trouble, as you stated. My biggest gripe is that the images are not representative of the lens being sold, so it is dishonest on two levels.

FYI: I also saw images by MFL'ers !karen, hintheman, and indianadinos.

Happens all the time, I got upset too but one cannot do much.
Friend told me to see it as a compliment, "only good stuff gets stolen"
This is how I see it now... Wink

Very true, Klaus. And secretly I was flattered. There is a Pinterest person also using one of them and this person using my boat picture: http://www.rachelbukey.com/coast-to-coast/the-prince-of-tides/ However, I have a vague memory of that person asking permission. And she also gives credit to a South Carolina state website where I had given my permission for use.
