> I've always found Nikon to be lacking in competitive models with Canon

Over at Fred Miranda and DPR, canon shooters always lament about the lack of competitiveness Canon was regarding Nikon glass.

I feel like Canon shooters have been a little smug about glass; but wisty eyed looking at Sony/Nikon body's/sensors. There's... 2? Nikon lenses I'd love on my Canon FF. There's... 6? I'm aware of with no quality-price equivalent on Nikon.

Typically Nikon has had the best glass. And there's a collector's market for much of the nikon vintage glass out there.

I really would like to have the 13mm Rectilinear lens if only it isn't worth several tens of thousands of dollars.
