[QUOTE="Roger3006, post: 262906, member: 20353"] In my opinion, a class action suit over $1,800 cameras would not be to attractive to ambulance chasers. They like personal injury. Administrative cost would make it prohibitive. I distributed Nikon Sport optics many years ago. We wholesaled rifle scopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, etc. In general, Jap companies are arrogant and feel they can dictate to the customer. Nikon was a perfect example. In my opinion, they feel superior to Westerners which is a joke. I also dealt with Japs in another industry. They build cameras and cars. We built the A Bomb and put men on the moon. That being said, I use Nikon digital cameras because they are a good value and do the job I need done. I do product photography. I shot a Hasselblad, Leica, and Nikon F4 with film. Quite frankly, the Nikon did not hold a candle to the Leica or Hasselblad. I used my Nikon for convenience and when I was in a rough environment. My F4's are great cameras and my Nikkor lenses are good quality but they are not the best. I will not quote my conversation with the Nikon sales manager at the SHOT show one year because it would be in bad taste. It did refer to where he could put a lot of Nikon inventory and is was where the sun never shines. I am not going to cut off my nose to spite my face; however, I would like to see a knot jerked in them. I was raised to admit when you make a mistake and make it good. People respect that. As far as rifle scopes go, Nikon is not near as good as Leupold which is a US company. Optics are better in the Leupold and their customer service is second to none. German rifle scopes are excellent and I feel the best binoculars are German. Not only have I sold all of them but I have used them extensively over a long period of time. All my rifles are topped with Leupold's or Unertl's (Old US Company). My binoculars are Leica and Zeiss. I have owned some of everything over the last fifty years and the above is what I settled on because of better performance. Above is my opinion based on experience. Y'all have a great week. Roger .
