New toy :D
New to me at least. The boss has been handing out the new D4's to the staff and taking in the D3's. I got one today to replace the D300 I've had for 3 years.
I lose my favorite lens cause it won't work with the full frame D3, but I'll live D300 and lens going away tomorrow. It was light, easy and a good workhorse. I haven't cleaned it up yet and it weighs a lot more than the D300, but its sweet. Good news about the 17-55. It got swapped out for one that looks brand new and the only problem with the full frame is a vignette from 17-28. I can deal with that Last edited by beadist; 12-06-2012 at 7:44pm. |

Actually, that D300 is a loaner from our Nikon rep. We think he has forgotten about it and the boss put in a call to him yesterday. He may tell us to keep it and I suspect it'll go to a reporter to replace one of the few D2Hs bodies still out there. POS boat anchors..... All of the old equipment will be sold including the that 17-55 lens. Sometimes he puts them on ebay, sometimes it's a bundle trade for more equipment. I'll ask what he's planning to do. |

timely thread. have been wanting a second body, and actually have the opportunity to pick up a new D300 for free. BUT, can't decide if i want to go back to DX as my current camera is full frame. Not sure I want a full frame and a DX.
thoughts? |
