the chart of flicker cameras is exactly reason why flickr going down.
as sharp as number of iphone pics go up
If the shipping for that rare lens were free, I would buy it.

Please show the news about NASA using the Nikon 10.5mm for STS-134!:)
I can’t – it’s a paid forum, sorry. I am sure we will see the pictures soon.

Yes, that’s why I added a link to Westlicht in this post.
hi there admin, the fisheye is an f/8, not f/2.8… just thought that i might point it out.
Arthur Edwards (the Royal Photographer) shoots Canon… why would Nikon go chat him up xD
He has a D2X.

“Three rare Nikon items on eBay: Nikon Ai-S 13mm f/5,6 (price: $29,399)”
So… they don’t suggest buying a 14-24/2.8 before this 13mm/5.6 destroyer of wallets??
I cant tell you how many times I have wanted the extra 1mm! the 30K sounds well worth the price to me.
buy the sigma 8-16
they say it’s sharp edge to edge 
and much wider
only DX though.
but even on DX its wider then full-frame is (8mm=12mm)
That’s FOUR MF-24 backs. Sorry about the shouting. Was the person sitting on them or just stumble on a store’s stockpile?
the number of the word “offline” in the Thai website is ridiculously funny with google translation
