angel_o. Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Yesterday, while driving home I realized that the license plate of the car driving in front of me reminded me of buying some Film ("K-NC 160" ;) ). So, I realized that the periodically reading of the photo.net forums influenced me. Therefore, I was wondering Which side effects have the reading of the Nikon Forum on its readers?.<br><br> Some thoughts:<br> - whenever Mercedes Benz releases a new G series, you get a heart- attack or think of compatibility issues<br> - your kid, F.-5 years old<br> - whenever you see a <i>3000GT VR-4</i> you think of Vibration Reduction and hand-holding<br> ... <br> <br> Let me hear your thoughts!

john_bald Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Funny you should mention it, Angel. One of my favorite snacks in the office vending machine is selected with the F5 buttons. Every time I press F5 I wish it were that easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wind.dk Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I get a strange itching sensation around my left shoulder, pains in my neck, and I cough (up) a lot. What's a 3000GT VR-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd thacker Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 My female acquaintances are now numbered like the pro bodies - F1, F2, F3, etc. - and I sometimes wonder whether they are auto or manual. Meanwhile, I go to sleep at night dreaming of dancing film canisters (sometimes yellow, but usually green, occasionally silver) and coming into a king's ransom, then buying up all the gear I now think I need, from reading here. <P> Oh, and I feel compelled to check in every day, whether I want to or not, for fear something horrible might have happened (I never know quite what), with everyone wondering why their moderator has deserted them. Other than that, it's had no effect whatsoever. (I really should do something about these panic attacks.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel_o. Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 It's an exotic Mitsubishi (twin turbocharged, DOHC, 4WD, 320 hp, etc.) with a very long name. Its name reminds me of the <i>"AF VR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED"</i> which has an even longer name. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Hey, my work has personnel department forms called F1 (Canon, I know), F2, F3, F4, F5 and F7. Curiously, the F6 has been discontinued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_wang2 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Well, I have this tunable lamp in my house. So, what do we get here? - "open up a little bit pls, John. A litle bit dark here" _ "How many EVs do you need?" _ "1/2, or 1, Just open it up. I'll tell you" ... - "There! Hold it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel_o. Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Well, as I see so far the Nikon Forum has some daily impact on the users:<br> - some eat candy F5s <br> - some have some F(un) here and some F(un) there, while teaching a sheep to count<br> - some are freezing in Nippon<br> - some think all the time of composition<br> - some call their female acquaintances F1, F2, F3, F4,... like other their career steps, where F4 seems to be the best compromise in these days...<br><br> All in all, many dream of film canisters, EVs, open stops and buying equipment they don't have use for it. In other words, just normal people - there's nothing to worry about! ;-)<br><br> Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
