But let us not forget -- Nikons' focus and aperture rings (they still
have aperture rings, don't they?) go backwards.  That's enough: no
Nikons for me.  That and the unpleasantly brittle-hard way I imagine
some of the lenses render.  Canons (well, okay, no aperture rings
anymore), Contaxes... you twist them the right way to focus.  So
they're at least contenders as cameras to own in addition.  But never
Nikons, sorry.
