What is your profession, Ace?
And do you take any pictures?
I seriously doubt you do more than a few snaps on holidays - Your
post has "Know Nothing Bullshpper" written all over it.

*SIGH*

At least you got the "ace" right

FM2, F3HP, F3/T, F4, F5, D100, D1x, D2H, even the F2AS when pushed.

Usual body setup is a few pool D1x/D2H's and my personal FM2 (T that
is).

And my "holiday snaps" are at least taken with a Nikon (5000 P&S - a
great camera!).

Nikon Rocks.

So instead of pictures you offer a list of your toys. I would say that if
this list is true, it only makes you (at best) a camera collector. I've got
a pile of junk cameras around too, but I don't call myself "arguspro".
Listing toys does not make you a photographer - it makes you a pathetic
fool. Sorry pal, but you are still just a loser with an attitude.
No pictures, no respect. It's that simple.

Also my F55 with 1.4 50mm? ;-)
I love these Nikkors...

But remember: body counts 5%, lens (especially nikkor ) 15% and
the photographer 80%!

Tooonnnyyy

I thought we had you pegged as a comedian?

So you are now also a Psychologist?

Hey call the F4 junk (we had a bad relationship over the years) but
it's stretching the truth to call the FM2, F3, F2AS etc junk. I'd
hazard a guess that over 75% of all photographs you viewed in the 80's
were taken with one of these three cameras.

I am of course assuming you were born before 1990....

PS. I'm sure you haven't seen me in print, after all my pictures are
usually accompanied by text...

CANON - The Great Pretender

Wow! I could have swore someone dug up a four-year-old Usenet thread from
Google and reposted it.

I'd pick apart your post for old times' sake if I could be bothered... but
life's too short, no?

In all honesty I haven't seen that previous post, not difficult as I
haven't been posting for 4 months never mind 4 years.

And my post quotes facts not fiction!
