A photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses, and a good lens is essential to taking good pictures! Do any of our facebook fans use any of the NIKKOR lenses? Which is your favorite and what types of situations do you use it for?

I agree. :roll: Besides it's gotta be true as it's on FB.

Their new new N1/J1 are going to prove their point though. :mrgreen:

Bad press is always good press, no?

One wonders whether this was a blunder by an intern and their team leader, or it's to stir the pot to gain more exposure. No pun intended.

I loved this response

A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door; the host said 'I love your pictures – they're wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.' he said nothing until dinner was finished, then; 'That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove."
