Nice try. Nikon’s use left-hand thread, so to speak, whereas Canon’s use right-hand. I don’t know if that makes any sense to you, but any machinist will know what I mean.

No thread involved. The mount is a baynonet mount. On older Nikon cameras the exposure indicator have the Plus sign on the left. Newer ones default to the right but you can change that to match Nikon tradition. The direction of the focusing ring are in reverse with the other brands also.

in TODAYS WORLD, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not! It only matters that someone has said it and obviously, the "seriousness" of the charges [aka Rush, RIP, Limbaugh] is what counts! thanks

Hence the reason I added ‘so to speak’ after calling it thread

A real photographer holds their Nikon in their lap while watching TV.

There's something I’d like to say, but it would probably be rather useless, cuz this whole discussion has been rather lame, so I s’pose I’ll just keep quiet, cuz it might start another useless argument. Bottom line, use what works for you. Different people have different likes, so just cuz you prefer one brand doesn’t mean it’s the best, neither does it mean that others have no right to prefer a different brand. To each his own
P. S. If everyone would use the same brand, the other camera companies would go out of business and then there’d be no more competition and then what? Camera technology wouldn’t advance nearly as fast anymore

I think the point of this thread was a joke. You need to understand a bit about the person in the title. Nothing serious here.

Problem is that the poor chain is rusted! It doesn’t rattle as much as one that isn’t being dragged around the block.
