Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

Something I've always found helpful on other forums is using the signature as an 'experience' holder. For instance, on forums I use at work, there is one that asks you to list your experience level, ie 10 years development experience and any relevant qualifications etc.

On my signature on here, I have listed my current equipment list in use. This then allows any member to search the forum for, say a lens. It will then return all members who have that lens. It may help other members when looking at new equipment as they can then go and have a word and find out that users experience with a particular lens/camera before purchasing.

Just a thought, but I would be interested in the equipment other members have. I realise, of course, that some members may like to keep that a secret, for whatever reson they wish..........

Hi Philip
Thanks for your suggestion.
Keep 'em coming.......

Should I bother?

Olympus Mju II

and Black and Decker cart

Walter,

The fact that you've entered it here, the meaning is the same. If I now search the forum for Elinchrom 500, it will list your post in the results!

Thanks.

My current list of gear is quite minimalist compared to many, I suppose.....

Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR with Nikon MB-D200 battery grip

Nikon 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 D AF zoom lens
Nikon 50mm f1.8 D prime lens

Nikon SB-800 speedlight

Fuji S2 Pro digital SLR

Billingham 'Packington' bag

Just a thought...

When does a signature become an inventory?

M.

My feeling is that it gets a bit OTT and clutters up the forum.

I doubt very much that many of our members will be wanting to do a search on who has a particular piece of equipment. If they want to find someone who has an item then they can just post a message and ask.
