[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 222082, member: 9240"] All I can say about the records vs. MP3 thing is to tell you to hunt down recent Neil Young interviews where he talks about digital music and how bad it really is compared to what you used to get from vinyl, and particularly what is lost in the final format compared to what's put down in the studio. Every format has its weaknesses. As for old glass, there's a lot of stuff that's just "old", but there are also some amazing lenses that were produced back in the day, and for Nikon to make it possible to [B][I]finally[/I][/B] use them properly in the digital age earns them some points with long time enthusiasts, while also paying homage to the quality of the product that Nikkor has been putting out for years (is it a mere coincidence this happens as Nikkor celebrates its 80th anniversary?). Not all old glass can compete with modern stuff, but for folks who have had a lens for decades, it means something to them. I mean, they keep coming out with new women every year, but that doesn't mean I'm dumping the Mrs. for the latest model. ;) [/QUOTE]
