"Yes mike... I'm too. I still keep my F3/MB4+FM10+F80/SElens in my safe.... Nikon product is more lasting..."

"Hope your arm is not score from patting yourself on the back. I would not waste my time with a "rock star". Photography is not about egos."

"Right said Fred sorry, I hope you checked out this site too, I spent a whole afternoon there, there is so much about photography, on it.This link will take you to a Panasonic revue but much much more, about shooting modes and 720 vs 1080 frame rates…"
