Is it only me?

Or does anyone else think that the D2 "logo" on this device is very much alike Nikon's letters??? 🙃❓❓❓📸📷

Yes, similarity is apparent. The 'f' is missing through .... All hopes of a Df2 for the 100th Anniversary are thwarted.

Good to see you posting again, by the way. Post some of your striking coastal landscapes, perhaps?

Finally I'm starting to get a bit better after the chemotherapy, Bjørn! So I'll be working a lot in the time that comes!!
I really want the D850 but I guess I don't get one for 20.000kr , so I'll have to wait a bit. Or else I'll have to sell my D810 but I have made a promise to myself to NEVER EVER sell any Nikon stuff I've achieved !..
Just wrote you a message my dear Bjørn! :-) Love you!

Very good to see you posting here again, Patrick!

The picture almost looks like a digital back of sorts.

Hans; It's not a strange lokking digital back but something for my drone. 😉🙂

Bjørn, can I post videos in here? From time-lapse to drone videos?
Perhaps I'll post a few landscapes later today, got some from when we were out last time, the time I borrowed your 105 1.4, and I also got some shot with the 200 2, but I have mainly used it for flowers, portraits etc. not so much landscapes yet! :-)
I LOVE THE LENS BJØRN!!!

NG is not yet set up for dealing with on-site video, but you could upload the stuff somewhere else and just post the link.

I wonder if we can made video available? Bjørn, have you ever looked into it? I'll try to see what I can learn about it after I get some other things done.

What a hilarious return, Patrick!  Welcome back and hope you feel better now.

The "D2" lettering indeed looks slimilar to the logo of Nikon's product, but you don't need to worry about the confusion: there was no D2 without suffix and were only D2H and D2X.  :D

Hi Akira, :-)
Thanks for your comment!! Appreciate it Akira!! 😄
I know that the D2 only game in 3 different versions, D2H, D2X (which I still love the colors of), and finally the D2Xs came out a few years before the D3. But I think I recall I had a D1 once, didn't Nikon make D1, D1X and D1S!?!?
Yes Akita, I'm starting to get back on my feets now, had some hard months, but the cure is over now, so now my body is getting rid of the rest of the cure, it can take a little while before the chemo is all out of my body. And I was on a very hard cure, couldn't go up a stair without sitting down in the middle to rest..😓 I'm "only" 38 years old...But my body felt like it was 90 years old! 😁

Patrick, my other friend went under chemotherapy and told me how hard it was.  The friend is a little older than mine, so he would have felt like...okay, I'll stop thinking now.  :D

The Nikon D1 series consisted of D1, D1X and D1H, actually, which is the very reason why the people have always been speculating higher MP versions of the flagship models.   :o :o :o

You are right.  I forgot D2Hs...

Patrick, as also a survivor of cancer(so far) and I had chemo, so I know little bit of how you must have felt! Chemo really takes it out of you, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is quite long maybe as much as two years I'm told, one year in for me! The story of the stairs is also familiar to me!

Hold on things will improve, albeit sometimes it appears very slow, but it will happen. Good luck with your recovery from another member of this terrible cancer club.

Regards

Mike

Thanks Andrea, I consider myself one of the lucky ones as I appear to be in remission for the present!
