Well I've received my first batch of Nikon gear. My D3s, D700 and grip, and my 24-70 and 70-200 arrived today as well as a couple of SB900 flashes. There are some BIG differences between the two systems. First these lenses zoom backwards! But I think I'll get the hang of them. At least I better I have to work Basketball tournaments tomorrow and Friday!

BTW just a few items left in my Canon sale.

1DMKIV
300MM F2.8
100F2
180MM Sigma Macro
EM-140 Macro ring flash.

Luke, I am your Father. ROFL!!!

Let us know what you think of high iso noise and focusing comparisons between the two evil empires.

Just don't send Godzilla after me, and we are still cool. :D

Hey Matt. I've been eyeing the D3s. Send me a PM after you've had a chance to play with it a bit.

I'm still not sure that I'm speaking to you -- but until I decide, how much is your ring flash going for?

I think I'll probably go for a tele-extender instead, but I'd be interested in looking a little closer at the ring flash if you want to put a link in to something (I'm heading out right now, but I can look more in the morning.)

Sigma at B&H

The only teleconverter I have left right now is the Canon 2X II. The ringflash has the two standard size adapters and I bought one more. It has a 55MM 58MM at 72MM adapter with it now.

My first thought was, "Whoa...". My second thought, because Matt cycles through gear so fast was, "Sweet, hand-me-downs!" Finally the Buy and Sell forum section will actually have Nikon gear in it!

Ha; I hadn't even thought of that- good point.
Though, FWIW, you can find Nikon stuff here SOMETIMES...you just gotta pounce fast. I've picked up 3 lenses from members.
