Won what? Certainly pure sale numbers does not mean a better product. His point is that many thought the move to EOS was bad, that it sacrificed lens compatibility for no known reason. But Canon quickly created features that others are playing catchup too. 5D | 17-40L | Tammy 28-75 2.8 | 28-135 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | Sony A6000 2-Lens Kit | SEL35 1.8 | EF 50 1.8 on NEX as my 75mm 1.8

shoturtle Goldmember  1,187 posts Joined Oct 2010 Location: NYC/Frankfurt A.M. More info | Feb 08, 2011 13:35 | #10 He is now shooting only a m9, if he was a serious leica fan. He should be shooting the S at medium format. He is still a nikon flunky. davidfig wrote in post #11802439 Canon makes their 60-millionth EF lens. Go to New Today and read his write-up on EF lenses. He wasn't saying this a few years ago. But has become less of a Nikon bigot....oh wait he's a Leica one now.  Canon has sold more lenses in 25yrs than Nikon has in 50yrs. Wow! Seems like we just had the 50 million mark last year. Man time flys. Do you agree with his analysis? Traveling is my passion, so I am a major Frequent Flyer.

Practice won't make you a better photographer. Expensive equipment will. =D
