They must have recovered, because I see pros using mostly Nikons around here
these days (digital and film).

Also, the F5 has just about the fastest AF around these days.

However, I won't be considering future investment in Nikon digital gear if
it requires buying a new set of lenses.  I won't be led down that path,
sorry.

Actually, though, I think Nikon is just blowing smoke to hide something that
they are working on right now.  I hope I'm right, for their sake and mine.
