You had to realise to find a retailer that sells ("retails"...) stuff from the distributors. I ordered mine from my local electronics retailer and will be getting it in the "second" batch.

I admit rasp pi foundation could and SHOULD have done a lot better in this, explaining the situation better and what to expect from the distributors.

Comment Re:Left and right reversed? (Score 1) 299

I'm right-handed too and use mouse on the left because if I use it on the right, my elbow starts to hurt like hell after a few hours. It took a week or so to get used to it and even now after years of using the mouse on the left, I still need to use it on the right if much accuracy is needed.

I didn't switch buttons.

Firefox 3 (at least on windows) can use color profiles and show adobe rgb files correctly. However it's not enabled by default. To enable: about:config -> gfx.color_management.enabled -> true .

What surprises me is that at least on this Vista SP1 machine Internet Explorer 7 does not use color profiles, but the 'preview' (photo gallery) application uses.

Why would you need more detail than 5D mark II and/or 35mm format lenses can give in a portrait?

Anyway: exif tags of the official photo only tells the focal length used, which was 105mm. So, perhaps even 24-105mm f/4L ? It was sold as a "kit lens" for the original 5D and the mark II.

TFA is wrong, btw, the camera used is 5D mark II, not the original 5D.

Also see http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/kidding.shtml for an interesting take on medium format superiority.
