I've just taken delivery of a new pair of prescription glasses and the optician recommended that I buy a bottle of lens cleaning spray and a special cleaning cloth, which I did. They were both Nikon brand - and I felt like a traitor! :D Still, they were made in England, so I suppose that's something :D

Nikon glasses!!! God!!! Now everything you see through your Canon viewfinder will be distorted! You'll never be able to compose properly again!

Just remember to remove your new glasses when you're with your girlfriend, Roy. After all, some things in life are more fun by Braille.

So now you'll be able to see at 11fps but with too much sharpness and anything red will be blown, sorry...

:D I must make something clear - it wasn't the glasses that were Nikon, only the cleaning fluid and cloth. The actual spectacle lenses are Zeiss. I couldn't bring myself to buy Nikon lenses now could I?
Do you still like me now?:D

Zeiss, huh?!! Does that mean you see everything with a German accent?

Or perhaps your vision is so bad that your "glasses" are really binoculars with ear straps!!!

I do believe that Zeiss and Nikon make the best spectacle lenses. And, if I thought for one moment that I had to view things with a German accent, I would have gone without glasses and just stumbled around. :D
