Thanks for the kind words Novicius, apart from my 18-35 f3.5-4.5 which seems to work well enough on the D3, my Nikkor 20mm f2.8 is faulty with an internal loose or broken screw due to it having been dropped while attached to the D300S. It still takes pictures but a loose screw or whatever it is, jams the AF mechanism. It works OK in manual focus if you jiggle the screw around inside by shaking the lens!!! Haven't had the camera long enough to evaluate all my lenses with the D3. I am hankering after a 16mm f2.8 MF fisheye after trying one on the D5 at the Manchester D5-D500 launch day. I have one in my sights, I just need to negotiate a deal... I feel the 16mm would be good for astro photography and some landscape/panorama opportunities. Also inside churches and similar buildings, halls etc.

Sorry t` hear about that 24 , you may have t` wait for winter to open it up and see what can be done about it . What do you think about that " active D-lighting " . I just got a D3s some months ago , not completely familiar with it yet, so I know what yer going thru`.. Them are mindbogling picture taking tools are n`t they , never dreamed of being able to shoot a black cat in a coal cellar

Thanks Graham, the D3 may (now) be two versions behind but the IQ is outstanding, I am absolutely delighted with it. Although I have parted with my beloved D200 I am still more than happy with the images it produced, within it's limitations. For the most part the limitations were't onerous. It was only when pushing the exposure envelope to higher ISO in poor light that things got ugly and even then I have some cherished images which although perhaps technically poor, are among my favourite photographs.

I thought it looks like a Campanula, doesn't quite fit the habit description for C. garganica, it is clinging to the door and the rendering with what appear to be sticky tendrils but I guess they adapt to their environment. It's actually growing out of crevices in the doorway and appears to be self seeding. Its perfect for my garden because it will provide some pretty and effective ground cover for some of the less accessible areas of the garden.
