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. Each one of the remaining ads could be created based on existing Nikon product images and a good knowledge of PS, but the viewfinder in ad #3 looks real to me.

I haven’t seen a fake …

Unless it uses the aperture system in the new PC-E lenses (which, coincidently, are the right size)

The thing that got me was the third flange. I barely voted no, because of the possibility of a locking pin, but I voted no

I don’t know what that “big” thing will be, but I’m sure that the sensor photo was a bad photoshop work!

Of COURSE these Nikon ads are fake… the faker even left “nikonrumors.com” in the ad! I don’t think Nikon would be so sloppy.
