"I have seen the face of God.."

The results from the D3x coupled to the 200-400mm f4.0 zoom is simply
amazing.

Yes, that evil, expensive hardware. We must hate it! Ever see the movie
Omega Man (Charlton Heston version)? You remind me of the zombie luddite,
"Mathias."

I once saw the face of God ... and got a fine shot on my
4x5 camera!

In the Sistine Chapel, of course. Pacemaker Crown Graphic
lying face up on the floor, directly below God.

Nice job, considering that Michelangelo was lying on his back when he
painted it. (Yes, I know that is only a legend.)

Was this a commissioned job or did you have someone looking out to keep
the guardians from chasing you away?

Neither. It apparently was allowed. I didn't use flash or a tripod. I should
add that this was 1973.

Ah. Perhaps that explains it. Although I have not been there since
1985, come to think of it. But photography was absolutely prohibited
then. The Vatican wanted control of rights, a fee, etc, even if the
pictures were for private, non-commercial use.

You don't the difference between hating hardware and idolizing hardware?
You must be quite stupid.

Here's a clue: The hardware doesn't care about you. Neither does the
corporation that produces it.

What's your point? I love my Nikon hardware. I don't expect any of it (or
Nikon) to love me back. As long as Nikon keeps creating lovable hardware, I
am perfectly content that my love for the stuff remains unrequited.

I am not. I want it to love me back.
