I suspect they picked the mount they thought had the most heritage lenses out
there. A shame because an EOS mount would have been more useful and adaptable.
I can put some T mounts on it and I'll look for a wide Tamron adaptall but I
can't think what else will suit Nikon F with an adapter. Anyone?
The lens mount is come offable of course but would something like a Zoerk be
much more expensive?
Oh and de Gaulle was wrong in a big way. 246 kinds of cheese is a serious
underestimate. I've been in a specialist cheese shop in Bordeaux that had 150
and that wasn't a serious attempt to cover the spectrum. They did have a nice
English Shropshire blue vein tho'.
