Link: Nikon stops film camera sales, Aperture, etc.. Rob Galbraith breaks a news release from Nikon stating that they are stopping production of most of their film camera sales:
Nikon U.K. has published a press release announcing that Nikon Corporation (Japan) has decided to cease manufacturing most 35mm film SLR bodies, all large-format lenses and enlarging lenses, most manual focus 35mm lenses, and related accessories. more
In more positive news, the web is buzzing about Adobe's new Lightroom. I've downloaded it and it seems like it fixes the most serious of my peeves about Apple's Aperture -- namely the use of a proprietary database into which all images had to be copied. Lightroom is happy to leave your files where you want them. Michael Reichmann has a good review of both Aperture and Lightroom on his website. [Photoethnography.com]
For a while now I've been thinking of buying a FM3A as a backup for my auto-everything Nikon cameras. Apparently I'd better hurry up and do so.
