I'm frustrated that Nikon has not made (and shows no sign of making) anything like the fantastic Canon MP-E 65 macro lens. Almost to the extent of buying a Canon body just for this. And then the Nikon just turn around and give you results that blow your mind. These are from an early evening 10 minutes close to my house in an attempt to let the days stress relieve itself.    All D4 with 24-70. As soon as i saw these on screen I felt at one with the world (but I still want an MP-E 65!) Ed

Ed- It's a fools game to try to match canon and nikon. Just as one gets an edge on the other, the whole scene is reversed. Nikon was the really big winner with the D1 - a full three years of monopoly. Then as canon got in the game, they creamed nikon with more great lenses. Then nikon came roaring back and probably has the edge now, especially if you consider the "tank" effect of indestructibility and the far far superior backwards compatibility. Truth of the matter is that they are both great and once you learn one system and get all the little accessories, there is not much reason to always look over your shoulder at the other. Everyone in this forum was moaning and groaning that nikon would never make a FF body - now canon fans are crying for something to compete with the D800 - it never ends  and that is good for US !

Has that duck got a touch of red eye Jeff? BTW, Many years ago I listened to an interview with Patrick Lichfield about portrait photography on a radio 'phone in'. One caller asked about how to cure red eye, Patrick suggested a special pen to touch up the eyes. The caller was horrified "Wouldn't that be painful for the sitter?" asked the caller... Wonderful photographs Ed, when you chuck that old D4 away let me know!
