Nikon reviews?

Better still, when I am clearly a canon user, a delighted nikon person will come up to me every now and again and ask for me to photograph them using their gear....

It helps to now how to turn a nikon on and focus!

They make their geir hard to use so it seems like proper and professional gear, but the truth is...

If anyone posts a photo shot with a Nikon I will say it's bad!

This made me giggle.... thanks... I wasn't having a terrific day, and it helped.

Haha great! I'm not having the best week of my life either, I saw the opportunity to fool around a little and I really couldn't resist to do it []


About 1,5 week ago my swimming-trainer asked me what was wrong with his photos. His photos were looking dull and without contrast. I asked what camera he used and he said: D200 and D50, Sigma 17-70 f2.8-f4 and Nikkor 70-200 something something. So I said: No wonder: trade all your gear for Canon gear and your problem is solved... He was looking like..."are you serious???"


Haha of course I wasn't serious, but I can still remember his face and it makes me smile again when I think of it! []


Eventually the problem was his lens...after upgrading to a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 his photos improved drastically, but I must say it was quite some work to get used to all the Nikon abbreviations and operations. The AF motor is different etc...


Anyway I wouldn't mind having a Nikon if it was giving me the same results or better than my 5D2 and lenses do. And I also have a Sigma lens so I guess I'm not a total Canon-freak either [:P]

I was in antelope canyon and there was someone with the whole hasselblad digital set up and massive tripod. I wasn't asked to take their photo. Maybe the hasselblad club has stricter rules! Always interesting though to talk and to learn.

Haha I guess so [] I've never seen anyone shooting with a Hasselblad, but I've heard a lot...
