A few more in thanks for the feedback....

I'll just let the pictures speak... All taken with the Nikon D800 with 85 mm 1.4G this past Sunday.

I was in a park today shooting a couple, and noticed this dragonfly on a twig looking me right in the eye. So I focus to the closest focus on the 85 mm 1.4G and shoot away (I think around f2.8). The funny thing is this little guy would fly away, then land again at exactly the same point, so I...

par example from Les Miserables (not my photo)....

Just to add to that, when I did a lot of shooting with my D7000, I'd be using the kit lens 18-55 mm but if I wanted to do serious portrait work with it then I would use the 50 mm 1.4G and the image quality is like night and day. Interesting you saw that much of a difference between the 1.8 and...

More goodies..... :) Just got the Yongnuo's today. Worked like a charm out of the box. Now I can have the camera in one hand and the flash in another....so cool. These can also be used to trigger the Calumet lights. Pictured below with the D800 and SB-800. I read this recently: "The...

Calumet Travelite Kit w. 375 and 750 strobes. Arrived today and so I went through the setup and basic testing of the system. 46" umbrellas. The stands go higher than the 8' ceiling in my living room (!). Funny how they call it the travelite when the kit is anything but light. This is like...

Ordered this today (got through Ebay). :D

Hehe thanks guys....here's one more. Here's an example of 100% crop (no post-processing whatsoever) with the D800 and 50 mm lens....who needs a telephoto? :)

Was out trying some lower or low light photography this past evening...all taken with the 50 mm 1.4 G unless otherwise indicated. Took some shots of other subjects in the vicinity as well... And some shooting under the bridge.... (this was the only one taken with the 85 mm...

For everyone that said it helps in terms of providing more stability because of the weight I completely agree. I find the size of both the D7000 and D800 just right with the grip on and that extra weight helps in terms of inertial stability. At least for me it is just so much easier holding...

I like Pedroj's version and agree about the light area in the trees. I would have also shot wider open if possible to get even a softer background bokeh. This is a good image of the dog itself with an almost formal pose and good expression. The dog, however, could use some grooming especially...

100% crops from images with the 300 mm 2.8. This moon shot was done hand-held at 1/1000th of a second with the 300.

Was out with a photography club these evening and shot a few Boston skyline images at twilight/night. All with the D800. 300 mm 2.8 AI-S 85 mm 1.4G 300 mm AI-S another 300 mm shot 50 mm 1.4G

Another cutie...

Just for fun I thought I'd get opinions here on what I'll be saving up for my next purchase. I plan to do more portrait/wedding photography and am considering either a second FX camera (Nikon D4 for more rapid and low light shooting) or a longer telephoto portrait lens (200 f/2 VR). I could...
