Flattr

This web site exists for several years now. I always make an effort to keep it up to date and comprehensive, in particular the technical pages. This causes some work from time to time, and operating the site is not free, either. I never liked the idea of having online advertisements on these pages to get some compensation. All too often you get ads for unwanted content, and ads naturally tend to become intrusive and annoying.

With Flattr there is now a mature micro-payment service that allows readers to contribute to web sites with little effort and low overhead.

So if you like this web page and you think it contains helpful information, you can now click on the Flattr button to the left (below the menu) and make a small contribution to let me operate and maintain this web site.

Thank you!

Diese Seite habe ich vor etwa 1 1/2 Jahren gefunden. Damals habe ich von meinen Objektiven genug gehabt. Diese Megazooms sind einfach nicht ausgereift. Also habe ich mich auf die Suche nach Alternativen gemacht. Tja, und dann sucht man nach "Minolta" (ich fotografiere mit der KonicaMinolta 7D) und wird dann auch hier fündig. Gekauft habe ich dann gezielt bei ebay.

Alle AF-Kameras, Blitzgeräte und Objektive im Überblick und immer aktuell. Toll! Aber auch ganz schon Arbeitsintensiv, wie ich mir vorstelle.

Für diesen Service möchte ich mich ganz herzlich bedanken!

Gruß

Andreas

I would suggest you add a PayPal Donate button in place of (or as well as) the Flattr one. I joined Flattr and made a payment towards supporting this site, but then found that it wants to make regular monthly payments and if you don't specify the site(s) to support then it takes the money for charities it chooses. Plus it takes 10% for itself. I will let my Flattr account lapse after the first month, but I'm sorry to say it doesn't leave a very good feeling. Andy

First of all, thanks for donating!

Second, Flattr is quite clear with their model of working and their fees. I do not consider it unreasonable, and Paypal is not free, either. Their base fee per transaction make it not very suitable for micro-payments.
