I now own a Nikon D2X along with several of the very best 35mm lenses
in the world. This is among the very best 35mm has to offer. Perhaps
I'm bragging when I say I own a camera body costing 4500.00 or lenses
costing twice that. Perhaps.

I'm just refamiliarizing myself with my old Nikon F4..... it's total
quality!
What a great camera! I'm not bragging either when I tell you it cost me over
10K with all the fancy scmansy lenes.


But I was not bragging about the Kia Sedona...it's just a minivan.

Heh Dude... I'm seriously lookin' at the Smart car...

why brag... it's transportation.


Perhaps I was bragging about my 35s5, a boat nicer, newer, faster and
better built than most others here.

I thought it was an older model second hand boat that sat for years unsued
because the owner had other boats he liked better and was willing to part
with this one at what you claimed was a "song"???


But why REALLY brag? They are just things anyone could buy (except
Scotty and Sloco who are poor and cheap). And as I said anyone could
buy them and yet we are all just renters here on earth until our time
is spent.

No... I own my boat outright... I believe both Scotty & Loco do as well.
Holy Crap... I wouldn't want to have a credit note on a boat hanging over my
head!
I'm not bragging when I say I not only paid in excess of 50K for the boat in
cash... but liked it so much I had it trucked across Canada twice!! Such is
the price of satisfaction.


But the responses from most of the folks only proves how material you
all are. This stuff is junk to me as far as cost goes. I appreciate
it's value based on function, design and the skill it took to put it
together. The rest of you are obsessed with costs. I doubt any of you
could appreciate a thing, beautifully made, unless it was expensive. So
very very sad indeed.

You saying you own Junk? I appreciate all my possessions Bob... then again
I'm not so crass as to consider cost as a measure of quality.


Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen... I won't be here all week but be sure check
in for the next performance! :-)
