To introduce another light hearted thread as much has been mentioned of the D700
“I’m a grumpy old man” these days and maybe a romantic for the past.
It always happens,
The original MGB was marvellous – the last in line had rubber bumpers to suit our US Colonies …… a terrible machine …… I have one after a long line of chrome bumpers ……… same with the Midget
The Triumph TR range …….. marvellous until they produced the last one, the TR7/8 .. again for across the pond ….. a load of sh1t .. who ever designed that
Nikon F bodies – original F – a work of art …… then we finally had the F80/100 ….. enough said
Same with the Mustang …….. sorry David
Heuer watch … really sweet until TAG Heuer came along ….. only for “tarts” now – sorry if you have one
Almost happening to the Rolex Submariner – mine from the mid 70’s is just marvellous – the 2010 I wear everyday is good …. but not the same - what will the future bring?
The E Type JAG – the last model the V12, was a “dog” it really was ……. the first, the 3.8 was a dream, (if you were a midget - but that's not important)
And look at what has happened to James Bond movies
I could go on and on and on
Levi jeans …….
I have a D300, had if for sometime … gave me everything I wanted, (?) look what happen after that to the D3xx – they added another x, that's all and buggered the number …… even the D300s was polluted by video ……what was that all about ….. D300 series is now dead … the only icon is the D300
I bought my D700 just a few months ago – the big Brother of the D300, marvellous ……….. look at were the Nikon D7xx is heading ……… we now have the D750. ……… the D700 is an icon? ………
you never know until after they have passed
Icons never stay …….
Remember I am a grumpy old man at heart
What are your icons? and "dogs"
