Nikon Lust!

[extreme2]

My wishlist (not in order of preference):

1. Nikon D100 with MB-D100
2. Nikkor AFS 80-200/2.8 or AFS 70-200/2.8 VR
3. Sigma 50-500/4-6.3 HSM
4. Nikkor AFD 70-180/4.5-5.6 Micro or Nikkor AFD 105/2.8 Micro
5. Nikkor AFS 300/2.8 II (In my Dream)
6. Nikkor AFS 400/2.8 (In my Dream)
7. SpeedLite SB-80DX
8. Accessories like 1.4x/2x TC and macro tube
9. Nikon Coolscan IV ED



As both Darren and Ziploc said, it's just a wishlist. Some might come true and some won't, depends on my financial condition.

while it seems that Nikon users are poorer. We are just 'dreaming' about buying D100 whereas all the Canon users are lining up with the cash for the D60.

Precisely! You know why? The D30 isn't good enough, whereas the D1, D1X, D1H are still pretty good.

Or it's simply that Canon users are richer.

I'm just commenting on the feel and surface of the paper, it just looks... more natural... I can't comment on the color fast yet as I just got it hours go.. it is so good that I'm considering getting a second pack !!

I've printed like 5 sheets liao. It's excellent. And it's cheaper and thicker than the Epson papers. There's a very slight magenta cast that needs to be corrected in the driver, but after that, everything looked beautiful. Fuji NPH 400 scans printed on it looked excellent, very natural skin tones. It's so impressive I've started to reprint some of my photos.

It's set for a mid speed is the avatar. I might redo it with a slower transition time later.

lenses are:

300/2 AIS
400/2.8 AIS
80-200/2.8 AFn-D
200/2 AIS
800/5.6 AIS

These are some of my favourite lenses for fieldwork.
