How does one become a Nikon Samurai? Just curious, I'm quite noobish but it has intrigued me :) Maybe something I could work towards, lol

you know, ive always wondered that as well

Don't think its a tittle.....just a web name for our great Nikon Samurai.

So I can start calling myself a Nikon Samurai then? :D

What number are they up to anyway...?

Speed is the "official" Nikon Samurai master. He can assign you your Samurai #.

Here is a list I found on an old thread, but it's over 2 years old. I'm guessing there have been some changes to it since then. Here is a link (http://forums.photographyreview.com/showthread.php?t=20415) to the thread I found it in.

Actually you need to be accepted into a shogun in a mountainous Japanese region in which you'll undergo many years of training and meditation and as your final test you must pick up a red hot Nikon logo with your forearms, leaving permanent marks upon your arms.

Yep, Speed is the keeper of the list. I think I'm #29 :confused: :confused: :confused:

So is it more like a list of members who use Nikon? Or one has to go up the mountain first? :p

Why don't they have a Canon Samurai clan?!!?!??! It would be kind of funny to have clan wars!

There is an "official" Clan O'Canon on the site. Note my avatar. There is also a Pentax clan, and I believe there is a Konica Minolta and possibly and Olympus clan as well. Not sure on the last two tho.

Yes, but the Nikon Samurai is by far the best of the Warrior Class

Clan O'Canon users are mostly drunken Irishmen that don't care what their images look like - they are used to seeing things blurred and OOF. Most of them don't shower for weeks and have a stench you don't want to get near. They are always looking for a brawl and most of the time will end up fighting each other (they know better than to mess with a samurai) :p

Bump in the hopes that Speed sees this >.>
