The D800 seems like an good camera. If I went for a D800 body, i'd be using the same Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AI-S, Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5, Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8, Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 AF-D, and Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 ED-IF AI-S that I have for the Nikon F and E-1. Far as I can see, based on loaning them to another friend who just got his D800 last week, they are just as superb on the D800 as they are on the F. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
