[QUOTE="Vlad, post: 33341, member: 7939"] Hi, folks. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. After a long wait and equipment consideration (and spending tons of time on Canon forums) i finally got my Nikon dSLR (Ironically, LOL). I started with D7000, AF-s DX 35 f/1.8G and SB-400. I also got a used Bogen 3221 in mint condition oh, and ML-L3 remote. I ordered some books (still waiting for delivery). So for a start I should be all set, right? Back in 80s I was quite an advanced with 35mm and dark room equipment/techniques. But with stepping into digital world I need to start from scratch.
