Update to forum galleries

[Orio]

Given the high number of autofocus images posted in the digital gallery recently, we have decided to split the "Digital Gallery" in two sections, one for manual focus and the other one for autofocus.

Since most new members come here to read and see about the use of manual focus lenses with digital cameras, we thought it was necessary that the "old" digital gallery could display manual focus lens images only.

Seeing a lot of autofocus images mixed in did alter the nature and the purpose of this forum.

From now on, digital images made with autofocus lenses have their own dedicated gallery section, and will be accepted only in there.

Please note that threads of manual focus lenses images that also include autofocus lens images for comparison or exemplification purposes, are considered in topic and are accepted in the Digital Gallery MF.

As for the film galleries, the quantity of autofocus images is usually so small that we did not feel necessary to lenghten the list of galleries for this reason.
Therefore, the occasional autofocus images will from now on be accepted in the film galleries, as long as they are tagged with " [AF] " at the beginning of the subject line, in order to make it visually clear at first glance.

The same tag and use applies to the Oversize gallery.

For any question about this issue, please use this thread.

Very good decision !

I never posted AF pics... but was tempted to do it.

Thank you.

I hadn't posted any AF images to date, but now I may post some in the new forum...

That could be quite useful, from time to time. There are occasions where I find an AF handier - just today I lost a few good shots through slow focusing of an unfamiliar MF lens. When I revisit the location I'll use an AF lens too. Of course, the same events won't repeat themselves.

I have posted some pics from AF lenses and AF cameras.

When I can find my posts again, how should I notify someone for them to be moved over to the AF galleries? And, who should I notify?

Also, if a photoset combines AF and MF glass, what is the correct protocol for posting on the forum?

Hi Orio,

a very well decision.

Would suggest to make for special (longer) threads (for example "user pics" or the actual autumn thread or the pet thread ...) a special section where we can show images with MF and/or AF lenses together.

Ok, I understand

Good choice - to seperate MF from AF and also not to be afraid to show photos taken with AF though the forum is still mainly on MF.
