In reply to John Cooke:
From my experience (~40 years of skiing from the doorstep)
Actually B3s or even La Sportiva Nepal Tops work quite well in combination with Diamir Pro and suitable skis (e.g. Nordica Burners) as long as you do not hit steep and icy terrain. This setup teaches you a lot about skiing, especially how to keep your weight centered and how to actually bend ze knees. It's my favourite setup for long walks or winter climbs as the walking comfort is fantastic and the skiing, well... different.
However, if you get onto steep (>40) and hard surfaces the game changes and becomes challenging and dangerous.
Binding settings have to be tested individually as the system reacts different and is also not "safe". But in return old greyhaired ski instructors will look at you with respect
