I have three lenses (AF new):

The big boys....
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8
Nikon 20-200mm f/2.8

And when I want to travel light...
Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6

I also have some nice non-AF Nikon lenses that I have been holding on to...
I really don't know what to do with them, but I will keep the FE body, so will keep the lenses for that 'antique' as well.
I wish someone made a digital back (or whatever) you could put on those old bodies... I'd be all over that.... Before I got the 700 (and now the 800) - I was seriously considering the Df before I was lured to the 'dark side'.

Funny story -

I had the D700 at work last Thursday to take some pics of my last delivery...
It was funny - our Customer had arranged an interior photo shoot to use in their marketing of their service and the Photo Producer (Seattle guy) was there to say goodbye as well. The photo shoot was done just the day before...

We were going to take a pic in the plane of the delivery team and he walked by - so I handed him the 700 (with a flash and 24-70 lens).

He looked at that and didn't miss a beat with taking some great shots.
He said he knew I wouldn't mess around - and my having the 700 'totally fit' me.
Wait till he sees the D800.....
(He loves the 997 too. He used to have an SC.. )
