Still have my EOS-1n but use it rarely.

But that's where your argument falls down. A Leica is no longer a feat of mechanical engineering. It is technology. And all technology gets cheaper over time. Leica is trying to buck that trend and...

So that makes it OK?

I believe the 2nd Amendment mentions a well regulated militia. Do any exist in the US of is it just a real good excuse to own guns?

If he'd been a photographer of colour, I'm sure the officer would have emptied his mag because he was very afraid.

This just follows the trend of police in the US being "afraid for their lives" when faced with seemingly any situation and shooting first. The disturbing part of this trend is that they seem to be...

Nikon and video are not two words I'd use together.

Crop mode is helpful in composing the picture. Without it, you can't tell when you're lining up the picture whether what you want to be in the shot will actually be in the shot. I use the XPan mode...

Displayed so that you won't see just how freaking enormous they are.

Price is accessible. Will they make one for large negative sizes?

And just to be different, Nikon put the teleconvertor switch on the wrong side so that you have to take your hand away from the shutter release to activate it.

For those who are surprised by the price, you need to get out more. The Canon version came in at almost exactly the same price when it was launched. Why would Nikon do anything different?

What bitterness? As a Canon, Fuji and Sony user, I'm happy that Nikon have eventually offered something like this. Just why it's taken so long ...

1Dx4me, well maybe you shouldn't get the 1Dx until you understand a bit more.

In reply to lambert4, I would seriously doubt that this lens changes length while zooming. The Canon version...

You need to get out more.

Actually, when Canon released their 200-400 1.4x all those years ago, they sold quite a few.

sandy b, last variant? They've had this lens before?

@Clayton 1985, well, the question is aptly placed at Lens Rentals given that they rent gear and would presumably have data on frequency of repair across brands.
@LessMirrored19, thank you for your...

Would like to know how rugged Sony bodies are compared to Canon or Nikon bodies. They inherently feel more fragile to me.

Neither do some others on this thread.

Try thinking a little outside of the box. If you shoot un-cropped, how'd you know the composition that you have taken will crop down to what you thought it would?
