I have the 14-24 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 VRII Nikkor zooms, and an 85 1.4 G Nikkor. Future plans at this time are for a macro of some sort, and a 35 1.4.Sometimes, I shoot 2 bodies. Sometimes, I just use the D90 as a backup. Just depends on what I'm shooting. I do a lot of events, and some wedding photography. I'm getting to the point where I need another FF body - and I'm torn to say the least. Hoping some of the helpful Nikonites I've talked with in the past can make some suggestions, or raise interesting/poignant questions that make me think.I'll probably be making the purchase in the next 60-90 days. I don't have enough cash saved up to make the purchase immediately, but I could be there pretty quickly.I'm debating over whether I want to consider the D800, a used D700 (that I send to Nikon to have a shutter replacement, cleaning, etc), or a D610. As nice as the D4 looks, I don't do enough business to justify the expense.If I've used a D700 as my workhorse, am I going to be disappointed by the D610?Perhaps a D800 is the best choice, and I could have Nikon clean/inspect/repair my D700 and it could retire to backup?The D610/D700 route would save me some $$, but in the long run, the price difference between a new D610 and a refurb D800 is 400 bucks. I'm not going to let $400 talk me out of a D800 if that's really the best route to go... of course, I've not factored in the cost of the grip that I'd of course add to the D800, since I grew up shooting film on a F3/F4/F5, and really like how the grip balances things out...</blockquote>
