I predict that a number of threads on APUG will veer wildly off topic.
In manufacturing, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is widely used. Reference points, surfaces, planes and axes are used, and each individual one is called a datum, designated by a letter. Datum A, B, C,etc.47 years and counting here, if you count undergraduate and graduate work. I have heard the word datum used plenty of times and have used it myself. However, it is true that that the meaning seems to have shifted (or at least is in the process of shifting) to include both singular and plural.
I can hear Ken's argument for the SLR in my mind, but it ain't gonna help Nikon.
I predict drones with cute little cameras will become mandatory gear for backyard burglars, peeping toms, drug runners, and insurgent terrorists. That is real progress. Thanks a lot, consumer electronics industry! Yet another curse of mankind (and wildlife) that needs a battery.

The plural in this case is datums.
I hope Henning Serger will share his well informed prediction soon. He wrote a very informative summary on the last Photokina (just like previous times), which I really enjoyed. On personal level, I look forward to start processing C-41 and E-6 films, possibly in mid-2015, after I gain some confidence with B&W films. I am also hoping to buy some Ferrania films.

And the police.
... and the NSA, the one government agency that actually listens to you.
Henning, where do you (as projection specialist) see the market for that new 6x9cm projector?
Well, I just went to order my normal 5 pack of Portra 120 400 from B&H and was dismayed to see a price increase from $29 to $35 per pack. I was then horrified to see that changing from 3 to 4 5 packs in my cart led to a notice about how it exceeded B&H's stock threshold at the moment, and that it may be 7-14 days until it was delivered. I went back down to three packs.
Well,
the new Jensen slide projector
http://jensen-diaprojektoren.de/index.php/de/
is
- very versatile, because you can project 4,5x6, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9 slides with it (and the interest for medium format is indeed generally increasing)
- extremely solid, it is a "once in a lifetime" purchase (even your children can continue to use it when you are passed away)
- Jensen also offers the slide mounts
- slide projection offers by far the best picture quality at big enlargements at lowest costs, no other medium can offer that combination!
- for BW slide we currently have much more excellent film and developing options than ever; at no time in photographic history we had so much variety like today; and more photographers are discovering that
- with the Film Ferrania project there is also a new interest in colour reversal film in general.
Best regards,
Henning
Well the projector sounds great but the web page linked just has a photo of it. No information, completely blank under the "products" section etc. (At least that's the case when I click on the Union Jack for English.)
What's this thing going to cost and where can one be purchased?
