more lenses for them. I choose three to distinguish from the people who buy a

I had, and still have, an impressive collection of FA, FA* Limiteds.
I didn't jump ship to join the FF bandwagon. I jumped ship because
Pentax's cameras couldn't do what I needed (I had a K20D at the time).
Around the time of the D700's release I had been shooting a lot of
