Nikon Q sign in Cologne? *busted*

By [NR] admin | Published: September 21, 2010

Update: this rumor is busted, you can see the original picture here.

A reader just sent me this picture of a “Nikon Q” sign reportedly taken in Cologne Germany where Photokina 2010 is taking place. I am skeptical (red Nikon logo?). Has anyone seen something similar on the streets of Cologne or around Photokina?
