[QUOTE="AC016, post: 541463, member: 9619"] There are quite a few problems with the ad. First of all, it has been discovered that the photo used, was a stock photo. From that, there is no way of knowing if the glasses in the photo us Nikon lenses and that is what the ad is about. Secondly, the glasses are not even featured in a dominant way in the ad. Thirdly, the camera used is not even a Nikon camera. It's a Fuji X100 - and yes, you can see through the lens with an X100 by using the EVF. Whoever Nikon hired to do this ad, was lazy at best. Whoever at Nikon signed off on this, should be fired. Saying that the marketing department may not know the full line of Nikon cameras, is just lame - same goes if you want to use the excuse of "different divisions". This is equal to Ford making an ad for Motorcraft car parts and using a Chevrolet as a car for the ad and using gneeric car parts from NAPA. It's a complete fail. [/QUOTE]
