Very funny.

In other cases it is getting more and more ridiculous what sponsors and other commercial interests get to dictate.

You do know that you can order light grey Nikkors.

I'm sure that's why they've taped over the lenses' brand name

I recall an event recently where Nikon was one of the major sponsors and subsequently ALL of the photogs had to wear a Nikon vest. Unfortunately, I can't remember which event it was, perhaps someone can help me.

Ouch! That's brutal! Thanks for the chuckle.

I know that, so I looked for images of the gray Nikon lenses. The two that I found don't look anything like those in the above picture. Also, according to B&H, the gray lenses are no longer available.

...soon, if Canon won't change their sensor technology

 

[ttbek]

If Sony sensors had better color I might buy one. If Zeiss made telephotos, or Sony made good lenses, then I might give it a little more thought. Canon isn't being replaced for this use case anytime soon.

Sony cameras already have better color than Canon.

Sony make good lenses, but I agree that none is going to replace Canon for this use.

I did some research about posted photo. It can be found on pages dated back to 2010, quite probably it was taken few years earlier. At that moment Canon was unrivalled. Look how lens share looks today. It is different, isn't? Few years was enogh, and competition with fine sensors (keep in mind, that D3 and D4 do not use Sony sensors), reliable AF and set of decent lenses found its place among proud white tubes. I don't see any reason, why white Zeiss won't be able to join the crowd anytime soon.

I have to agree with ttbek. The main reason I did not get the A7II for its IBIS was the Sony colors (besides color shift, sensor reflections and compression artifacts). I cannot stand them.

Please post in the Nikon forum. All of them!

I hardly ever speak for anybody but myself. In the cases where I do mean to speak generally the statements are likely to be marked as such.

LOL, that would keep the mods busy.
