Momma, I'm coming home!

My D500 arrived on Wednesday. So much to like about this thing.

Started out with D90 -> D700 -> D7100 -> D500

My son gets the D7100 now. D90 long gone (well, daughter owns it for a while now).
D700 and D500 are a good kit for me for now.
Until the D900 anyway. (D5 sensor in a D500 body - you know it's coming ;))

Fits my hand like a glove.
Balances my larger glass so well.
AF is unreal.

My biggest con is the death of my Capture NX2 based workflow. Was putting it off for so long ...
Capture NX-D is so awful. Forcing myself to try and make it work.
Ugh.

That auto AF fine tune kinda blows too.

Anyhoo. Great cam. My DX kit is happy:

Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR1
Nikon 17-55 2.8 DX
Tokina 11-16 2.8 DX
Sigma 30 1.4 DX
Sigma 50 1.4
Sigma 150 macro (non OS)

Need long glass now. Will likely get the Nikon 200-500, but that 500 f4 ...
BTW, nice work coastalconn. Used to live in CT in a previous life.

So long folks.
