I'm losing my mind.

Thanks, guys; much appreciate the kind words. Been a long time comin'.

WOW Ed! You go boy!! What made you change you mind back?

Three very solid sales months at work, more than anything else, I guess.

What are you doing with the old equipment?

Sold the 10-20, 18-135 and MB-D80 grip. D80 body still on Craigslist.

Here are a few shots from today, with the new stuff:


D300, 16-85VR @ 16mm, ISO 200, 1/1600 sec, f/5.6

D300, 16-85VR @ 85mm, ISO 200, 1/800 sec, f/6.3

D300, 16-85VR @ 85mm, ISO 400, 1/640 sec, f/5.6

D300, 80-200 2.8D @ 200mm, ISO 200, 1/6400 sec, f/3.2

D300, 80-200 2.8D @ 105mm, ISO 200, 1/1600 sec, f/5.6

100% crop of above image

So far, I'm impressed with the performance of all three new acquisitions, and looking forward to getting a lot of mileage out of all three.

Guess I was out of touch, I thought you made the D300 leap a long time ago.

You Nikon guys are going to make each other go broke trying to keep up with the Jonses!

I did. Sorta'.
Ordered one back in the fall, felt guilty, and returned it immediately. No buyers' remorse this time. Vast improvement over the D80 it replaces.

Needless to say, I hate you. LOL. That is an awesome stash of loot you got. Im getting ready to get back into my photography again and hopefully will have me a nice stash in a few months.

I feel the same way. Ed talks me into a D80 and now he upgrades and makes feel inferior.....
