Part of the problem for Nikon was that their old lenses were built to last forever, so they did. I just got a new Nikon DSLR, and I've had Nikons since the 1970s. So The fact that I can grab my AI-S lenses (but sadly not the even older pre-AI lenses) and go out and shoot is cool. And I've never felt drawn to Canon. A while ago I did acquire a Hasselblad, but that's a different story entirely.
