Since everyone enjoyed my last post (More Canon vs. Nikon), and loved the Red Thinggy even more, here is a little pop quiz. This is a graded recitation...

Ok Nikon lovers...

The true Nikon lover will easily be able to answer these questions:

1. Which was the first Nikon body to carry the Red Thinngy?

2. Who "invented" the Red Thinggy?

First one with the correct answerd gets.... two thumns up from me. Hehe.

Have fun... and no Googling allowed. :Grin:

The Red thingy has now been transformed in to the "Red Triangle", IMHO I've always wondered why Nikon used a red "thingy" instead of yellow... I guess it's more attractive that way. When i stuck some red pinstriping on my Sigma 70-200 it actually matched more than the gold pinstriping! hehehe... :D

Peace!

@sir ken:

what material did you use for the pinstripe? :)

@carlo_mendoza

I used red pinstriping stickers that can be bought at car accessory shops. but it usually comes as a pair of stripes one thin stripe and one thick one. I used the thick one to cover the gold stripe on the lens. HTH :D

Peace!
