Yes, Moose is "on the payroll" for N. To what extent he "sells his soul" in offering opinions about N's hardware is a moot point I suppose. No doubt he is an honourable man but can hardly be called a "disinterested" party in assessing equipment. Arthur Morris, noted bird photographer, holds a similar relationship with Canon, BTW. I have just finished reading one of his most recent books and he does a fine job IMO of staying clear of any truly unseemly partisanship. I have only read Moose's Nikon Handbook, which is a different sort of work entirely. Still there is no reason to impugn the man's integrity over his Nikon sponsorship I guess. I certainly wouldn't in any event. Both men are likely too intelligent to do anything stupid, like engage in N vs C debates. If you are interested in N hardware, I certainly recommend Moose's Handbook for browsing. -- Terence A. Danks Nova Scotia, Canada http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/danksta/home.htm
