OMG and I just noticed that the thread is actually now closed!!! God forbid that guys brother joined a mob owned fake rolex forum and now people are actually talking about it too!! Oh no!

hmmmm....... is that so?? Lani? Nanuq? BT? Stephane? Jojo? I guess you guys shouldn't be here anymore since you have a real rolex in your collection

I've had my fair share of watches come and go, but for sure my Tudor is a definite keeper. It has been lovingly tended to by so many great members here! This one was a true labor of love and patience and I love every little bit of it!

Very very nice review you posted there! Thanks for pointing me to it!

Here's what best sums up the D5000 according to Ken Rockwell's site:

Ageed Nothing beats a good ole fashioned grilled cheese!

Agreed. The D40 is an excellent camera for what it is. I just upgraded from the D40 to the D90. I do not believe the D5000 is much of an improvement over the D40. I'd either stick with the D40 and invest in some better lenses for it, or upgrade a little higher than the D5000. Just my 0.02

My favorite was from the Greenspan's Tent. It was called "The Champ" - unfortunately, it didn't win Really really good! Made with Raisin Bread, cheese, tomato, basil, etc..... Really nice bite to it!

Wooooowwww!!!!! That's looking amazing freddy!!! Congrats! I know this has been a long labor of love for you and it is definitely coming along quite nicely!!

I am really keen on getting a nice wide angle lens for my D90. The reviews of the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 are very very good. Anyone shooting with one? Care to share any thoughts about it? Thanks!

True! Good 'ol Canadian!! the person under me owns at least one franken watch

Just wait for the D4!!! It's going to be sick!!!

Ok.....now what's the story with that one????? It's gorgeous!!

Yes, a friend of mine warned me that getting into D-SLR's is like crack. You can never get enough!!! It is definitely a dangerous addiction.....kind of like collecting watches

And there it is!!!! The big 1000 Congrats!

So my fiancee and I went to the Grilled Cheese Invitational today in downtown Los Angeles. I never would have thought there were that many people who loved grilled cheese as much as I did!!!! It was an absolute blast and we were both quite stuffed from all the great food!

Most people have opted not to replace the a7750 with the eta. You might be better served if you buy an asian one and have it serviced. Just remember never to change the date when the watch is set between 10pm and 2pm (this applies to the ETA version too.

Looks pretty cool. The LumiNox Tritium tubes are definitely what set their watches apart. Oh and their unique use of plastic. Super strong and very, very light watches!

I agree with member x. 22k members is nothing to be ashamed of. Why try and boost the numbers, if not for some dishonest reason. Very amazing sleuthing Admin!!! Well done!

Yeah, I mainly got the 70-210 for outdoor zoom shots. I would love the 70-200 VR II but I'll take this lens for $150 vs the $2,200 for the new VR II I think it will do for now

Congrats Deniz! I have always enjoyed your enthusiasm here! Keep up the great posts and here's to the next 1000

So any thoughts on where to meet yet?

+1 on the kevlar strap! Love it! Looks awesome! Congrats on a great build!

So I sold my D40 to jjenk last week so I could upgrade to a new D90. Now don't get me wrong, the D40 is a superb kit and takes amazing photos. However, with all of the macro fun I have been having lately, I really needed a camera that I could run from Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2. Basically it is remote software that connects your computer to your camera, and if it has Live View, it will show you what the camera is seeing on the computer screen. It makes manual focusing much easier and it prevents me from moving the camera around too much. So, here's what I've got going: Nikon D90 Zeikos Dual Battery Grip Nikon 70-210mm f/4-5.6 AF-D Lens Spiratone 75mm Flat Field Macro Lens First of all, the Nikon 70-210mm Telephoto Lens is outstanding. If you are looking for a really good quality, super sharp lens, and don't have much to spend, this is the lens for you! I picked this up on Craigslist for $150.00 and it is in perfect condition! Of course, with it mounted on a DX Camera, the crop factor is 1.5x, so it is actually running at 105 - 315mm, which is a great zoom range! The auto-focus is super fast and has been spot on each time i've tried it. Here's a couple of quick pics I took the day I got the 70-210: 70mm 210mm Secondly, the Spiratone Lens coupled to the Nikon Bellows is awesome! Very sharp and an incredible deal! I bought it on eBay for $15.50! The T-Mount adapter was $8.95. If you want to use a lens like this directly mounted on the camera, you would an extension tube. It doesn't have a focusing ring - you focus by moving closer or further from the subject. It looks like you would need about 40-50mm of extension to get this to focus properly. Here's a couple of pics with the Spiratone on the Bellows: One last picture - taken with my 35mm AF-S prime lens:

Very very nice J! Keep playing with that D40!!! I really like that Mont Blanc!
