I must say that I find this both sad and strange... I always thought that the more proficient/experienced/advanced a photographer becomes, the more they learn that in gear what matters is the lens... Nowadays it seems not true any longer :-(... I am not trying to compare EOS L-Lenses and Nikon lenses... In my silliness I would assume that a guy who has EOS system with L-Lenses wouldn't want to switch because of a *body*... Say, Leica does produce their digital rangefinder as was recently mentioned on DPReview... Shall all of us suddently switch to Leica? After all Leica lenses are superior, aren't they? ;-) Thanks to Cotty I had a chance to handle his camera with A* 85/1.4 attached (Cotty, does my memory work?)... It was interesting... But still, I wouldn't understand it, if for some reason Cotty went Nikon just because of D200. The world is undoubtedly changing. -- Boris
