Rowell uses Nikon gear because he started using Nikon gear and the Nikon gear that he uses does what he wants and doesn't break for him. If you read through the large amount of text he has written about his photography, this much would be obvious. 35mm photography, and much of what Rowell does, is not about ultimate sharpness or technical quality. Its about caturing the fleeting moment, whether it be the decisive ones, or the ones with mountains and light on them. That's what he does. I think he does it pretty well. I think it would be pointless for him to use any other equipment than what he wants and is comfortable with, whether it be a Leica or a 4x5. Oh, and for the record, the nikon 75-150/3.5 E zoom is a great lens. Pete
