Ride yesterday (new camera)Needed to test out the d3, so did a very short loop around where I live of whatever I saw.
And of course a 100% crop of 3200iso... 
My fav is the sheep

What's the weight like with that and a lens (24-70 f2.8 I presume?) ?
Must drag a bit on the uphills. Nice work though. Like the first horsie one. Sheep freak me out a bit. Anyone who's been to the Agrodome in Rotorua will know what I'm on about. |

Close, it's the 14-24 (I had my 80-200 f2.8 with me too for the long shots), don't think I will be able to afford the 24-70 for a while..... The weight really isn't that bad because although it's a heavier combo than the D200 + lens, it's a bit more balanced.
Sheep freak me out a bit too, ever since finding a mummified one between some rocks on a windy grey dartmoor! |

Love the 3rd and 7th, Roo. What kind of bag are you using to carry that gear around on the bike? | ||

Nice, the first horse shot is my fave one too. I saw on dpreview that the D3 costs £3399 for the body only.  Is that how much you payed??

Lowepro Computrekker AW I think it's called, filled up with camera gear and laptop I can just about carry it on as hand luggage on a plane, although the look on the ladys face when she picked it up to search it was quite funny, she nearly fell over 
I can get 2 camera bodies (D3, D200), 2 flash guns, 3 PW's, 80-200 f2.8. 14-24 f2.8, 50mm f1.8, laptop, charger, spare aa's and then the usual adapters, cables, cf cards in there but that's pretty packed and weighty. 3399 is the RRP, I just went into the local jessops as there aren't many places much cheaper at the moment (£2999) I keep an eye on this website http://camerapricebuster.co.uk/ but hey it's an investment... they only got that one (their first) in the day before I got it, not only that but a buyer appeared for my fisheye before I even decided to advertise/sell it (I always knew I'd sell the fisheye if I got a D3 as it's DX and the 12-24 on full frame is close to the 10.5 on digital anyway) fate? combine that with at least 3 decent shoots planned by the end of the month and I decided the time was right. |
