Am just now agonizing over making the same jump (equipment and all). To
me, its a feeling that must be akin to getting a divorce.
I've sold some MF stuff and have offers sufficient on other equip. to
allow me to pick up the D200 and, maybe, a D50 back-up. If I don't
receive some Pentax signal about a new tempting release that will
likely happen.
Best of luck with your choice!
