Hey folks, I've noticed something really uhh..weird. In the two best camera stores here with used equipment, there are always a number of extremely large telephoto lens from Canon. Nothing from Nikon, nothing in Pentax, etc. But always 2 or more Canons. On Stan C Reades Photo Day when all the reps came out, Nikon table was bare, Pentax had the Optios couple of SLRs, and of worthy note, the (not yet field proven) FA 24-90mm, the FA 100mm f/2.8 macro (which caused me to buy mine) and the FA 20-35mm which from what I've heard is very nice. Nothin longer than the 100mm and no real FA* :( Anyhow, Canon was next door to Pentax, and they had like 6-10 very long, very heavy, white telephotos. So what's up, are Canons the choice for sports or nature photography? While Nikon is a studio camera? In the stores you could make the case that they are older and don't work with newer bodies and so the owners are selling them, but that doesn't work with the Canon Reps having all those long thingies out there, since they would no doubt be the latest.
Am I missing something? Brad Dobo
