boilerdoc Posted March 18, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ken Rockwell reports a Nikon competitor for the S2 soon to be announced. Of course there have been rumors for awhile now. I don't know if this has been seen on this site yet. But for what it's worth....Nikon MX System.

paulmoore Posted March 18, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 18, 2009 that guy has a lot of funny ideas.. like Leica named the S2 in response to Nikon's S2, yeah, that makes sense! completely ignoring the fact Leica produced the S1.. he makes it up as he goes, makes a good story I guess.. good for him he has a following but I would not bet the house on him.

garyp Posted March 18, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 18, 2009 I thought this was a pretty funny 'article' too; so Leica has been on a losing streak ever since the M1, which came out when? the late 50's or early 60's ?

stephengilbert Posted March 18, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 18, 2009 "Nikon may announce the MX medium-format system any time between now and 03 March 2009." I see. What's today's date? What I heard is that Leica may announce a new digital rangefinder sometime in 2007. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelast Posted March 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2009 "Nikon may announce the MX medium-format system any time between now and 03 March 2009." I see. What's today's date? What I heard is that Leica may announce a new digital rangefinder sometime in 2007. He posted that in February. Anyway... "Nikon may announce the MX medium-format system any time between now and 03 March 2009." is great, saying everything and nothing. I can say: "Leica may announce the M9 any time between now and 7 July 2009." (Or may not). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerdoc Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted March 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I thought this would stir up the locals! Especially the bit about poking a stick in the eye of Leica by naming it MX. Bolivian Smoking Powder! That's good! Time will tell I guess. I'm saving up for the R10. Please hurry Andreas!!

stevelap Posted March 18, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2009 Nikon MX rumours have been around for some time and last peaked just before the D3X was announced, iirc. There have been Canon rumours too. To date only Leica's S2 is anything other than vapourware though...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overgaard Posted March 18, 2009 Share #10 Posted March 18, 2009 Rockwell is such a dilettante, an on-line beggar. Reminds me of Perez Hilton, just different subject matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptomsu Posted March 18, 2009 Share #11 Posted March 18, 2009 This Rumor is already more than 2 years old. What is new (at leas for me) is the square format. Which actually would make me a buyer of that system! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleman Villain Posted March 19, 2009 Share #13 Posted March 19, 2009 I like K Rockwell just because he manages to piss off so many people and cause controversy. He's so punk rock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierovitch Posted March 19, 2009 Share #14 Posted March 19, 2009 Its just a rebadged S2 with a Guigaro red stripe instead of a red dot. Nikon are producing the S2 optics but you never heard that from me:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of nonsense about the naming S2 and MX. Still look at the publicity this guy gets by playing the fool, it's become an international sport spotting the latest Rockwell clap trap.I bet he laughs all the way to the bank. Kevin.

arthury Posted April 16, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 16, 2009 Just like Acura canceling the new NSX project, the MX was canceled in Nikon. Blame it in the economy. Nikon has better things to do with her money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 18, 2009 Share #20 Posted April 18, 2009 So out of curiosity, Nikon was supposed to have some kind of big announcement at the WPPI (wedding photogs) convention in Vegas in Feb. They were renting the MGM Grand Arena and so on. Nikon/WPPI event in February - dslreports.com What happened with that? From the various blogs I've found from people who went to WPPI, there is no mention of Nikon at all. Oh, wait. Looks like it was a Blues Traveler concert - so much for the MX.
