I have the 35mm version of that Nikon lens (35mm PC Nikkor) and it works magnificently. Tilt means Up and down and then you can turn the lens barrel 90 degrees and now you can shift meaning it could move side to side. So what is the big argument about tilt and shift (T-S) and Perspective control (PC) ?? Same type of lens called by different names, just as someone mentioned before, Micro (Nikon) and Macro (Canon) lenses are also the same type of lens.

Just take a careful look at the next lens you buy from Nikon where it is made.

As they say, you should buy your last camera first. I bought my Hasselblad 500 C/M with Zeiss 80mm f2.8 in the 70's for the princely sum of $1200. Nowadays, that amount would not buy you very much. The lens can still be used with an adapter for Nikon bodies. The 'blad is a piece of mechanical work of art, much like you can compare a Rolex watch to an electronic watch. For quality, the 'high' price you pay to-day will seem a bargain in the future.

It would probably be a lot better than the Sea Gull Great Wall DF-6.
The Hasseblad V1D Concept does look a bit familiar.

The Sea Gull Great Wall DF-6 is a collector's item if you have a good tidy specimen!

I never bought (or can afford a Hasselblad) and I don't think I will buy a Chinese Hassy. However, for most people why not? People are buying Chinese cameras.
Just check how many Nikon Lenses and camera bodies are now made in China. Sony, Canon and many big names all have lines made in China. They also have Thailand and Malaysia made products, so do you still buy them?

Agreed, but as so often repeated here, the best camera is the one you have in your hand when an opportunity presents itself in front of your eyes. If you have 1 and 2 mentioned above, 3 becomes less relevant and less important for anyone to be obsessed about. In the end, Whether you want to focus your energy, sleepless nights and resources into chasing the "perfect camera & Lens" or to divert your energy into making a great photo by concentrating on 1 & 2 is really a matter of choice for the individual. Both can be ego boosting or energy sapping if you found out a new model is announced a few weeks after you bought yours, but one choice is much cheaper, can be just as rewarding and makes life less complicated.

Tonight I used the Tamron 150-600mm attached to a Nikon D300 to take images of the Super Moon applying the 10/10/10 rule (in my case ISO 200, 1/200 sec and f20. The images came out well on full zoom. However, when I tried to attach a Nikon 2X teleconverter between the Tamron and D300, no images could be obtained because the f stops no longer could be adjusted. So it looked like this combination was not compatible.

Love it!! The one on top is the sharper one, right? Agree, the top one is better, it has more artistic value.

I've owned the Nikon D70, D90, D300 and now I have the D7100. If the 7200 is anything like the 7100 go for it. I've given all the other cameras to my grandchildren. They are all working perfectly. I think Nikon makes better cameras for the long haul. I absolutely love my 7100
With due respect, You think wrong, Nikon has had more recalls of their high end models within the past few years than Canon since Nikon started producing most of their cameras and lenses in China and Thailand .

I, like many other Picasa users, miss the ease with which you can write text on the photos. Is there another easy editor that allow you to write text directly on the photos ?
