Uh-oh KR heart Nikon SP

Uh-oh

Ken Rockwell has just published glowing reviews of Nikon SP and Nikkor-HC lenses on his site.

He's right (we all probably agree) and his kind words will certainly push used prices up!

I think he goes just a little overboard in praising the SP's VF as "far superior" to the M9, but the "review" seems pretty harmless:

Damn! I just sold mine!! I'm going to send an e-mail to Ken and ask him what he's going to plug next. Then I'm going to rush out and buy a few before the price skyrockets!

"Don't ever believe it if Nikon tries to say it can't do something: if it can make brand-new SPs and S3s, it can make anything it wants to"

so where is the digital FF Nikon FM2?

This quote from the KR article is typical:

"After America harnessed the power of the sun to stop Japan in the summer of 1945, Nikon's warmongering activities were disbanded as Japan was occupied by peacemakers."

I guess I don't need to mention that the atomic bombs dropped on Japan used the principle of fission, not fusion. Just another little niggling inaccuracy. But the camera, it is nice.
