[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 684073, member: 45742"] Don't worry about that! I would never think to look at someone's profile to find out if they owned any nice lenses... I bought a lot of nice Nikon primes back in the film days. When I bought an F4s, I started buying some AF Nikkors primes when I could; my budget kept me away from the really fast stuff, but I did manage to pick up a couple of nice ones. When I finally broke down and accepted the digital revolution, I bought the D70 and started picking up a few AF Nikkor zooms. I couldn't really afford the nice fast ones. I ended up getting an 18-28 f/3.5-4.5, a 28-85 f/3.5-4.5 and the 70-300 f/4-5.6 D. I liked them, but I always had it in the back of my mind that they were "second rate" because of my old-school ideas that primes were far superior to zooms, and because the zooms I could afford were all Nikon's "second string" players. Now, with my D750's excellent sensor, I can shoot at higher ISOs if necessary with few worries and keep my slow zooms stopped down a bit where I know they can perform better. The death of my D70 helped me take another step forward and see what the newer cameras have to offer. I dearly love my new D750 but since I found out how little a used D70 body is these days, I'm sure I'll pick up a replacement for my dead one; I like the camera and it would make a good DSLR body for "going in harm's way" like out in the canoe or kayak, to the ocean side, etc. Stay sharp, Bob [/QUOTE]
