Is it the black body or the red ring that catches their attention?

Is it the Great Whites like so many shark teeth circling the boundary line of every major sporting event?

Just got done reading a review of EF to NZ adapter. Yep, mirrorless technology is showing the future is here and it sure looks bright. This time, mounting Canon EF and EF-S lenses onto Nikon mirrorless bodies. Want a 14mm f/2.8 wide angle? Want a 100-400 IS-enabled zoom? Want AF-enabled f/1.2 primes? Want an Arca-Swiss mount on the adapter to mount directly to the tripod / monopod? No screws. No guesswork against the alphabet soup of AF versions and gelding, whatever that means to lenses or defenseless animals ...

Looks like Fringer and their EF-NZ adapter is doing it today. Just ignore that bit of $349 sticker shock...

It's never been more true: The grass is always greener when captured with a Canon lens on a mirrorless camera.

Paul, you're really throwing a baited line into the water with this one :)

If you want to make enemies, say something true about Nikon...

You are holding the hammer?

If so, select a better nail, will you?

I'd be more likely to believe something from Thom. As Ken has said, you never know what's true and what's not.

Hey, Paul - is this the Sharks and Jets again?? Are you channeling Chris T?? So much more than the one-liners you've been doin' lately that even Ron is getting riled up!! (and he has been s-o-o-o calm lately!)

LOL Tony! Guess Ron and me are on different manic schedules ... Hadn't thought about the Sharks & Jets angle.

Success never comes easy; it comes at the price of Canon equipment.

Shoot with what you like, why do you care what other people shoot with, or what other companies are doing.
The reallity is that the differences in the camera brands today are so small that no one would be able to tell what camera a photograph was taken with....As has been said many times the camera does NOT make the photo, the photographer DOES
