That Nikon is fugly. Green hammertone enamel on rather crude alloy castings ? No thanks.

If I was going to spend that kind of $$$ for an ornament in the study I'd sooner have a real masterpiece of craftsmanship such as an 1880 Thomas Cooke brass refractor with a clockwork mount made of yellow phosphor bronze... a truly beautiful thing. Or a Questar 3.5".
