During Photokina I received tons of mails from you with links to news, rumors and deals. With over 600 mails and comments per day it was impossible to answer every single message. That’s why I am writing to thank you for your help on this website. Without you 43rumors would not be alive.
In general 43rumors has a big role in my life now. There are many reasons why it is so. First it takes me several hours per day to work on it. And to find the balance between 43rumors, my real work as documentarist/photographer and my private life has been not easy! I always travel with my iPhone in my pocket and when there is some important news I write the article during coffeabreaks! That explains some of the misspellings, because I am always in a hurry. And when I am at home I am often in front of my laptop trying to chat with my rumor sources (I have 20-25 sources), to answer emails, check for news and fix issues. There are times (like Photokina) were I really had no time for my private life. But all works fine now, I have taken some rest, I will make some nice trip with my girlfriend (We will be in Barcelona soon) and in a few days I will know if I can shoot a documentary in Africa (Malawi).
There are so many stories I could tell you about the work behind 43rumors. There is so many people I am in touch with that I never met (and I wish to meet one day). There are so many mistakes I made so many things I learned and so many new ideas I have. I really like it to work on 43rumors and without you I could not do that. So once gain, I thank all of you!

No, thank you for all your time and hard work to get this information for us! I wish we could meet cos I would buy you a beer!
Great Site! More power to 43rumors!
You probably already know this, but if you are in Barcelona, take a trip to the big indoor food market, the Boqueria, just off the Ramblas. I sweat that place had the highest concentration of DSLRs I have ever seen, but that is because it is so full of beautiful stuff to photo! Just do a google image search for boqueria and you will get a good idea.
Thanks for all the great work and to your girlfriend for being understanding about all the tiem it takes!
Thanks for your tip! I will take the chance to hold some camera but I am not interested in any new camera or lens now. I am happy with my E-P1 and my Mamiya 7.
Thank YOU for a great source of information. Hope, to read more in future.
I guess most of us should thank you in a similar way for your efforts and sharing all the useful info.
Have a nice time in Barcelona and be sure bring a couple of spare batteries. Few weeks ago I ended up with two dead cameras after some eight hours there :).
hehehe. I will not take photos. Just relax!
I’m not one of your sources nor helpers, but I definitely enjoy the site and visit daily. (In fact several times a day, is like an addiction) and thank your for your efforts. Keep the good work! Greetings from Paraguay.

Have fun,

Don’t forget to keep taking pictures admin! that’s the most important part after all.
First of all thank you admiin, for your hardwork. I’m a relatively new member here, joined after I purchased my GF1 so i was wondering how 43rumors all got startedl, how did you get in contact with your sourses? Well maybe you want to remain some of that as secrets, but it’s facinating me how this thing works 😛
Hi Jesper!
It started with the Micro Four Thirds announcement. I liked the concept and I missed a website where I can read the latest news about m43. I started to collect some news on my private blog. And there were a lot of people reading me! I didn’t have any sources at the beginning. But after few months sources contacted me to share some rumors.
The story is very long, so much happened! I am curious to see what will happen in future 🙂
Many many thanks, very nice site with quite nice community !
somthing like Asterix and Obelix village resisting to Canikon empire…
With kind regards
But doesn’t Asterix always beat the Romans? 🙂
Your doing a great job!
as an admin as well!
keep it up, i know we will! 😉
Thank you, admin! You do a great job under trying circumstances. Take some time off to be with your girlfriend (believe me, mine occasionally gets aggravated with my photography habit too) and don’t worry about us!
ADMIN, Please Don’t have a girlfriend!!!! We need your undivided attention at 43!!! 🙂
Don’t ask me to choose between my girlfriend and you 🙂
Best you should make changes to the blog name title 43 Rumors | Home to more generic for your content you write. I enjoyed the the writing still.
