You brought up the Nikon v Canon thing on the same day I happened to be doing a comparison, how could I not share my findings? Apparently Jack was doing some comparing as well.

Anyway, I think the original thread had run its course so perhaps it was best to change the topic  ::)

Do you mean where Frank was looking for the cheapest price on that lens because he doesn't overpay, then claimed to support his local brick and mortar stores?  :-\

How do you know which photographs are from the Nikon?
Ooops...sorry...I mentally merged this with another thing where the Nikon was on the left side.  They both seem good enough for purpose.

How's about someone starting a new topic somewhere else?  ;D
We're really getting tired of monitoring the snark.

Also I'd be happy to break parts of this thread off into a new topic if someone suggests where.

Maybe I could start with charlie's post here:  http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,6166.msg100655.html#msg100655

 On a scale of one to five, please rate how discombobulated this thread has become

It started off with a question about the validity of an offer of a used product for sale,  and the last posts have been about canons vs nikons vs pirates vs ninjas vs whatever as far as I can tell?... I guess it is another case of "Once a thread is in the open, it is in the wild". 

P.S. I have now way of knowing for certain that the offer was a valid and serious offer!

I'd give it a 15 for super-discombobulation-expialidocious.

Were you interested in that offer Bill??

Not really interested in the offer at all Andrea.

Though I always find the discussions most entertaining to say the least

Got the PopCorn and the Beer.

This is one of the most interesting threads ever, by a most talented member and me think should be awarded the dumbest thread on Nikongear.

Wait, just heard that Zuckerberg wants in on it  ;D

Which do you prefer?
One is Nikon, one is Canon?

The one on the right because there is only one catch light in each eye.

Dave who still wants a pair of photos with diffraction stars in the eyes so he can tell which in Nikon and which is Canon.

I read the first posts and decided I could ignore this thread, but it keeps popping up in the unread threads, seems it has become the dumping groud for anything we can think off

... so ...

here is my contribution to make it a perennial appearance as an unread post

The simple truth is that conversations can and do evolve, sometimes winding up far astray from where they started. I can see Armando's point, but then, his post was at least as far away from where the topic had led as any. That is not a criticism, just an observation, I'm not the post police, nor do I want to be.  ;)

You have a point Armando.

Maybe there is a need for a general chat thread, which as you say always pops up as unread.

How do others feel?  As is, this thread is way off topic, but is entertaining never the less.

Well, Frank started this thread, what does he think?
