We intentionally do NOT sell advertising nor do we allow allow sponsors. This allows us to share the truth and not having to stay biased towards those lining our wallet. Sometimes the truth hurts the pocket book, but I would rather be truthful first and think about my finances second. I have a conscience and I have to sleep at night so being truthful is very important to me.
Sure I’m aware of forums out there big and small that will pull posts and ban users when they say something that their sponsors might not like. This is exactly why I refuse requests for sponsorship. So if you think you are going to get the whole truth by reading forums think twice.
I have been asked as to where my money comes from if I don’t get it through sponsors and advertisers. The answer is very simple, from sales of product on our web site www.micro-tools.com. Micro-Tools was originally a supplier of tools to the camera repair industry but with the invention of the internet, many other industries started buying from us. Today the camera industry accounts for less than 25% of our sales. With a background as a professional photographer and camera repairman, my heart is in this industry that I have been in for 35 years and that is why I devote so much of my time and effort here.
