Even having read the criteria, I'd be hard pressed to choose a winner. Hmm, of the seven big optics and imaging companies (of which Nikon is one) 6 are based in Japan except Kodak. Japan, the second biggest economy in the world, has it's two closest trade partners as winners.The rest seem arbitrary. I smell politics. Or maybe not...nice pics tho :)

I think Carl Zeiss and Leica Microsystems might be confused by that comment!

Fascinating images as always, thanks. Would that we looked down as much as we look up.
