[Leica] Going to make the leap to DSLR Question

[allen.graves at charter.net (Allen Graves)]

Adobe and Nikon seem to be cooperating now as a version of the PS RAW 
software compatible with the D200 came out within a couple of weeks 
of the launch of the D200. There is a statement to the effect that 
Nikon is dedicated to Adobe support somewhere on the Adobe site, but 
I can't find it now.

I've had no problems at all with Adobe RAW,  but I've decided that I 
like Bibble  (www.bibblelabs.com)better. The Nikon software is just 
too slow, even on my recent Mac G5, and I like the results I get with 
Bibble better than with the Adobe converter's output.

The D200 is an excellent camera. I have no regrets about buying it, 
and it works quite nicely with all my manual focus Nikon lenses. And 
there are a lot of very nice, very reasonably priced Nikon MF lenses 
out there for sale.
