Nikon PRO mag

Postby Heath Bennett on Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:05 am

Has anyone seen the new Nikon PRO magazine?

It has stacks of D2x pics, printed large. Looks absolutely incredible.

WARNING: If you can't afford a D2x, don't look at his magazine, it WILL make you want one. (Birdie, do you have any in stock? be prepared for a rush)

There is also an article on a french photog who shoots naked girls for a living, well worth a read if this sounds like a pleasant occupation :)

Bottom line is I will definately be contacting Birdie to purchase a D2x very shortly.

I saw a copy of it at the mini meet last week.
Some beautiful shots in there.
I also got to play with one, D2x, so I already want one

Where does one locate a copy of this magazine?

Thankyou Birdie!

Oneput - I was given the magazine by a friend of mine, he had two. He may have got them from Europe, as it only has the price in Euros on the front - 7 Euros. Sorry I can't be more help.

Good find Rok, helps a bit, but there are subscription fees.

Was the version that everyone has seen the one with the penguins on the front - dated 04/05?

So far as Sydney is concerned I find that copies of Nikon Pro are always plentiful at European Camera Specialists in Drummoyne or Vanbar in Camperdown.

One problem would be that you would see so many perfect bodies - could you ever be happy with one? And when that one started to age and sag, would you trade it in for a newer model?

I can't help but draw parallels to camera bodies here, but I think there is some truth in what I have said.

HB,
But can you try out but not buy? :shock:
As other member from another thread about Sigma 30/1.4 stated: "Try before buy it" :wink:
