    i have no solid information to back my statement, but it makes more sence to me that anybody sending this around would know more about the add than the items that the add is portraying, especially if its an Ad agency leak and not a manufacturer’s leak… again, this is all just “in my honest opinion”…

    Just imagine for a second that there could be several different project going at the same time. How about this – some of the rumors may not be true. I hope you are not surprised by that – this is a rumor site after all, so do not expect any consistency. Actually I do find a lot of consistency, but to see them you will have to read a lot of the old posts and I cannot do this for you. Does it make more sense now? I hate when people expect everyone to know what they know. This blog is to answer question and not to prove who knows more.

    I think I answered all of your concerns/questions.

    Nikon medium format (MX) analysis

    Many readers think that those Nikon medium format ads are fake (even though the poll says otherwise). I would agree if it wasn’t for ad #3 and the ad #1.

Can someone think of a camera that has similar shaped viewfinder? This seems to be difficult to fake (but not impossible). The other problem I have is the red triangle on the handle of the first ad – the …

    IMHO If this is fake its been done by a good designer, this isnt a photoswap job its a professional designers rendering.

    Its also a very competent design, however it doesn’t seem to be in nikons design language, its a bit retro, oriental. Im not saying its fake but perhaps a bit of personal work for a designers portfolio.

    The grip also looks too sharp to be of any good ergonomic value.
