Along with the 85L

Also from the weekend up in Auckland - the zoo animals were actually behaving nicely for photos

That reminds me very accurately of some images from a forensic dentist I had to deal with this week at work. Person's head split back in half like that, jaws, brains and the works wide open. Joy.

just picture it as 64 queues at Burger King - the more lanes open, the quicker the people processed...

went to camera and camera today. They have run out of stock of the D700. Said that Noink have not supplied them with enough. He then tried to sell me the one on display

They're lying tossbags.

Thats just normal Camera and Camera.
It's why I will never shop there.

The distributor for Nikon in NZ has some, if not on the shelves then in cupboards across the land where shops like ours have either not put them on display or never fired a shot with them.

The initial drop came about two weeks after announcement, and then we were told to expect further deliveries within another fortnight. So unless your C&C have sold so many of the buggers they've run the country dry (we still have ours, never been fired and open to recall by the importer if they needed it) they're either lying or can't be assed to phone up the importers and ask where they can source one from.

Ergo, they're big bell ends.

Wouldn't get it off me Tim!

Has this become the general ramblings thread now?

I was begining to think the same thing.

Maybe it's cos there are less Mods over here? Or maybe it's cos it's where Tony hangs out?

No this is the SERIOUS photography thread .....where we talk photography and post photos.

Was in tech books in newmarket today there are some really good photography books out.
Mike Freeman hs a couple of good books esp lighting will get soon.

Scott that cant be true.

Well that rules me out.....It's far to long since I took any serious photos
