But OTOH, YOU weren't the one with the rabidly anti-japanese slant.......Marc was....and I've read enough of his posts that it's consistent.....now IF it is based on lack of extended customer support, THIS I understand, and I agree.....Leica, Audio Research, RL Drake (???), BMW/Mercedes/etc. have a tradition of customer support on LONG discontinued products..... Nikon doesn't even want to support manual focus lenses ___THAT ARE STILL FOR SALE NEW!!!! Still, I don't think Marc's position is based on such logical complaints....THAT"s what I was asking......
