Bragging at last...
 

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Yup, once you play with a pro DSLR and see how much fun in it, the old
stuff seems even older. And I'm a guy who used to shoot large format
and laugh at medium format.

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.

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

why brag... it's transportation.

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.

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! :-)

Good work, Mooron, but I can't bite on your cast as the flavor is the
same as mine. The F4 is a splendid camera. I had the F5 and prefered
the 4's handling. But you might honestly give a D200 a try. I think
you'd be pretty pleased with the results, fun factor and cost is not
too high at 1699.00 for the body. You have the glass already.
Look at poor Joe with his Mama Mia C3. The poor sod thinks he owns a
superior camera, but people take photos and I've seen great work done
with lowly Canon rangefinders.
My most recent lens is the Tamron 90 DI Macro...a stunning hunk of
glass and sharper than any Nikon prime I've owned or tried...including
the Nikon Micro 105mm. You can read my review (and others) he

Nutsy,

That is a NICE Picture!


Thanks, Thom....it was taken with a D70 and 18-200 VR lens. It's a bit
staged as my father wanted the shot with the flowers, previously
planted each year by his late wife. She passed away at 54 shortly after
Thomas was born.

Nice little snap Bubbles.
Pity the subject isn't the little pine tree....'it' is in perfect
focus.


Ozzy, are you telling everyone that the Thomas and his grandfather are
not in focus? This is a very easy thing to check and the little tree
against the shoulder is within the optimum focus plane.

What a piece of crap that is. You should have bought a Kodak.
