Anxiously awaiting my UPS delivery...

[ChiSoxKeith]

I am anxiously waiting a little extra income next month that I am going to use to order a 100-400L and a 70-200 F 2.8L Mark 2... Really really looking forward to these.

I'm in the same boat you are. Anxiously waiting for a little extra income next month.

Nothing as exciting as a new camera body! I got a jump on a used Nikon 105 f/2.8 AIS manual focus lens that Jeff was planning to sell. I love the 50 f/1.2 AIS I have even though it doesn't meter with the D90 and I'm in need of a longer lens...so problem solved!

I'm not sure if the optical formula is related, but I have the pre-AI Nikkor 105mm F2.5 and it is quite a nice little lens that I can mount pretty seamlessly on my Pentax. I pull it out when I feel like doing something a little different... I actually was just using it for the first time in a while a couple weeks ago.

Sorry I missed that post....I knew there was a reason I bought the Pentax Grip....just thought that if I was spending that much money what is another hundred bucks.

Well, I would prefer the OEM over my knock-off, but at 1/4 the price and identical ergonomics and fairly solid construction, I'm happy with mine. I do miss the OEM weathersealing though...

Nothing on the way for me... I'm actually trying to "batten down the hatches" on spending and am going to unload a few things to see if there's any way I can magically make the money for a K-5 appear before our January trip (this also hinges on the price coming down a bit!) It's certainly not definitely... but ISO 51,200 and improved DR are pretty strong incentives for Disney shooting.
