[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 647320, member: 43924"] Good image. I would have done a few things differently (darkened the sides a bit and sharpened slightly less), but you definitely seem to know what you're doing. Soooo, I hope you won't mind me sharing my two cents on your plans, as follows: Are you REALLY sure you want to get rid of that D5300? Unless you have an unlimited supply of money, you're not going to buy a whole set of lenses, from wide to tele, for your new FX body, whichever it is, right away. You mentioned 'anything nature related', so I assume that includes wildlife and other subjects where a long lens is a plus. Why not keep your D5300 and the 55-300 and/or 55-200 (which is a tad sharper) and sell only your other DX glass? You're not going to get much money for that gear anyway, but this way, you can go for a good FX standard (maybe plus wide) lens first, have a backup body, and still rest assured that your gear covers any subject you like. After all, the combination of a DX body with a long lens and an FX body for everything else makes plenty of sense, giving the DX lens extension factor. [/QUOTE]
