    I had nothing to do with that spat, Ben. Honest. I didn't call them "snapshooters" or "Nikonian Homers"..really. Not my fault one little bit. :D

    Interesting shots, Machinegun. Like that first one. Decent Bokeh and detail. Looks like he's wondering why you are shooting Nikon..eh?

    So...who came out victorious in that battle? Someone always gets the worst of it.
