I want 24MP not 36MP. My D800 is just too detailed and the images are too large. However I do love the controls and layout of the D3 and D3S but at 12MP they occasionaly leave me with grainy image if I crop severely. This of course is not a problem on my D800. My D600 the AF is not great in low light compared to D3/D3S/D800 as it has a slower AF unit.

Eric, re: 24-70. Even the 17-35... That proves the point, those lenses are pro grade, and the D750 is not. Those lenses have a basic design for pros, aimed at ruggedness and quality, regardless of weight and price. Regards, Gilbert

Eric, re: candidate for primes You have a point there, especially considering the recent wide angle FX primes by Nikon (e.g. 35 24 and 20mm) Regards, Gilbert

I dont understand the desire for fast primes. I would never use a 24mm f1.4 lens wide open even assuming it was distortion free. What it does get you is a wide angle lens that focusses almost instantly which is good. All my wideangle primes are f2.8 i am very happy with their speed of focus. I dont need to reduce DOF to a sliver when I use a wideangle. Maybe I am missing something. Please do not educate me as I dont want to buy any more lenses except either the Nikon 200-500 or the Fuji 100-400. I still need to decide if the Fujis are my long term strategy or a solution to some issues that the Nikons cant provide a solution to currently in a DSLR. I want a WYSIWYG viewfinder which is obviously impossible with OVF but very possible with EVF. But a hybrid OVF/EVF like in the Fujis does provide this and with the option to show the veiwfinder with or without exposure adjustment. No using the TFT on the DSLR back in LiveView mode is not a solution (but a nightmare)

I wouldn't buy one, because to me, they are unnecessary, expensive and add more weight...the very thing I am trying to reduce. The further up the focal length scale, the more the arguement for 1.something becomes valid. Personally I avoid using any lens wide open, preferring 1stop down. Maybe I've been unlucky, but every lens I have bought is sharper and more distortion free if I do this. My only critique with primes, is that while changing lenses you can miss the shot. The IQ may not be as good on a zoom, but a less than perfect photo is often better than no photo at all.

More and more I am favouring the Fuji for walking around photography and just equipping the Nikon for structured photo sessions with key primes. I feel a zoom sale coming on. Lol

After 20+ years pro shooting I just want to stop 'performing'. I don't know if other pros feel the pressure of 'getting the results' every time but I am enjoying just capturing a location or event without the need to please third parties...for the moment. Whether I will recapture the pursuit of perfect images again, for myself, remains to be seen. For the moment I am content getting acceptable shots from acceptable equipment that doesn't tax muscles or wallet. :thumbsup:
