The Times today had a full page add claiming, "If you want clear pictures
you don't want a Canon or Nikon."  They also claim that only 20% of Canon
and Nikon lenses have IS/VR.  They also claim that the Sony A100 is the only
camera to give clear sharp images with all their lenses since it has IS/VR
in the body.  After seeing this add it put the fear of god into me thinking
that it's time to start dumping all my Nikon and Canon crap and buy a Sony
A100.  I know the A100 isn't really going to give Canon or Nikon any
competition, but it was funny seeing this full page add.

Then somebody would complain about her crossposting.  I'll take the multiple
posts.

Me too.
You can't please everyone...
I multi-post sometimes and find it helpful, since different forums tend to
take threads in different directions.

LOL!  It's an all or nothing package deal since both come to life when put
together.

OK then, just send me both of them.  Just don't tell a soul I'm
shooting a Nikkor!

Hey, black electrical tape is your friend.  From a distance the untrained
eye can't tell I'm shooting a Canon.  Seriously, though, you might fall in
love with that old Nikkor.  Its powers are mind bending and mesmerizing.

Maybe you can trade it for the Canon 85 f1.2L or 50 f1.2L .....I know I
would for the 85 f1.2L.

Christmas is over, yet dreams of a 5D with the 85 f/1.2L II are still
dancing in my head.
