[QUOTE="Burt, post: 844214, member: 68616"] I can only agree on your comment... It just shows a sense of insecurity on Nikon part.. There will always be two kind of customers... The one that just sticks to the brand, no matter what, and the one that need a lens on a budget... A clever company takes care of both customers and makes sure not to lose either of them.. On my budget, I have a set price in mind... It doesn't really matter what brand it is... If I can't afford it, I simply don't buy it... Trying to take advantage of your brand name just to be able to charge more for the same or similar product is so out of touch with reality... None of this, improves our society on a technical level.. If it wasn't for the Chinese culture that does lack of Copyright infringement, most of the electronic products would be still set at prohibitive prices for nearly 80% of the population... Bottom line is that we, the consumers, need both... [/QUOTE]
