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 am pretty sure this is a fake picture that was busted on DPreview before the D3 announcement last year. The guy who created this explained how he had done it.

Likewise the mount picture is fake, as it has one of the bayonet claws missing – was also busted on DPreviews last year.

Whoever is sending you these is taking you for a ride.

Finding this old stuff on DPreviews is not easy … I am trying to but it is like finding a needle in a hay stack.
