(just lenses or cameras too?)

Just lenses, it seems.

Seems an odd thing to do for a commercial site to direct traffic your way.

Not necessarily. They add value to their product database and this way intend to make it a more attractive place to go to for information. It seems they focus on camera tests again and at least for lenses this is the easiest way to add reviews. In addition, they link to user reviews and user sample images, which no doubt makes this a rather complete product database.



They contacted Klaus about this a few months ago already. When they launched their product database without links to other sites, we already presumed they had dropped the idea again.

Are you paying them for this?

[/quote]



No.



It was their idea to add external links and it is of course their decision whom they link to.

Or could it be a prelude to a bid for dpr to buy out PZ?

Not to my knowledge. Klaus? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
