[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 271911, member: 12855"] Is what I'm thinking as well. Getting a clean 600 off of ebay, so we'll see how it fares once I get it. No fear there given ebay/paypal's aggressive-as-a-rabbid-dog buyer protection policy the past few years. You can see my glass in my sig, all but 35 1.8g and long-sold 18-70 are FX and that's what I figured early on as well- FX glass will go a much longer way, not to mention that it's way cheaper and less gimmicky and performs MUCH better than quite a few lower-end DXs (namely horrid, horrid CA on the 35 1.8 vs virtually none on my 50 f/2 and 24 2.8). Else I feel I've reached much of 5100's limits way earlier, but it didn't hurt to absolutely make sure. I honestly enjoyed fighting the controls and settings while I was learning to expose properly on non-ai lenses and all that, but now I just want a body I can call reliable and [I]trust it[/I] to take care of the little things like focus and decent iso performance given a range on its own instead of making sure it's on optimal every few shots by hand.
