    War Birds: B17 Flying Fortress; B24 Liberator; and a P51 Mustang

    I went to the Boca Raton Airport on a good tip from Marilynne. It was pretty interesting watching these planes fly in and land. There were a lot of old-timers there. One man I talked to was 94. They were either pilots or members of the flight crews on these types of planes during World War II...

    D800 with a Forty-Dollar 35-80mm Nikon Lens..... Anyone have experience?

    Any of you with a D800, have you ever used a cheapo 35-80mm Nikon? I would think that with 36MP, any and all of the lens' flaws would be very apparent. If you have actually used this combination, what's your opinion?

    Scored My New Walk-Around General Purpose Lens

    I bid on a Nikon 24-85 VR lens on eBay. I had the highest bid.....$227.00! This is a brand new, never used, gold box, 5 year warranted, VR lens. It also came with a brand new Japanese Pro-Optic 72mm UV filter. I think it was an exceptional deal. Here's 3 fast examples taken in today's rain.

    OK, so I'm slow, but necessity IS the Mother of Invention......

    I just realized that my FX 70-300 will auto focus on my D5100. Does that mean my DX 55-200 is no longer needed? :confused:
