You can see what I have in my signature.
Bodies:
D3
D300
Primes:
28 2.8
50 1.8
Sigma 150 2.8 Macro
Zooms:
24-70
70-200
For the most part, I am happy but I would like to change my line up almost completely.
Body Changes:
-Add either another D3 or D700. Honestly, I wish I could afford the D3x, soely to use as a crop body and still have 12mp. Yes, spending $8,000 is out of the question but I can dream. I would like to add another FF body just to have consistent results. I come to this reasoning because while shooting football, I can't mount my 24-70 on my D300 and have the 70-200 on D3 and expect the same results at ISO 3200, it's just not going to happen.
-or-
Add another crop body, the D300s. I would love to have video on a DSLR. Just like the 85 described below, some people hate it and some people love it. I love it. Very useful. If a D700s came out and had the same performance and just added video, I'd be the first to get it.
Prime Changes:
-Sell the 50 1.8 and get the Sigma 1.4. I LOVE the 3D effect the D3 does to pictures with a super narrow depth of field. Honestly, I don't use the 50 that often but I think I might if I had 1.4.....
-Back and forth about selling the 28 2.8 since I have the 24-70. By ABSOLUTLY NO NO NO NO mean in the entire world will I EVER see a 24-70 at 28mm and f/2.8 as sharp as the 28mm, yet, I don't use it as often.
Zoom Changes:
Not really a big change.
-Possibly sell the 70-200 for a VRII version (wouldn't cost too much to upgrade)
-Get a 85 1.4 for portraits. I don't need the G. Too much and I'm not following the bandwagon. For portraits, speed is not needed.
-Add a Nikon 14-24 (some people hate it, some people swear by it)
I'm happy with my 70-200 yet I'd like to have better IQ at 2.8 which I sometimes shoot at.
What do you think?
