He should now that there are a lot of professional photojournalists (like me) and photographers that, unfortunately, are not able to spend more money, even if they are PROFESSIONALS! I'm working for Anadolu, AFP and others but I don't have a Z9, I'm still using a D4s. But I'm a PROFESSIONAL!
I want to tell mine also on another point. A lot of users here are continuing to say that these increase prices need more updates of Photo Mechanic, then they will be happy to pay. For me is a non sense, especially if you're a PROFESSIONAL. Which kind of update you want? Every month? Every Week? Every day? Are you crazy? All the features are enough to do our work and if a software version will not change often will be more stable and stability is essential for a PROFESSIONAL!
Is not necessary to repeat that, for me, the new prices are too expensive. I hope just that for who will buy a perpetual license there will be a not expensive price for the upgrades to the new versions, after one year, or some years, like in the past.
All the best,
