[QUOTE="skater, post: 273121, member: 19158"] Hey, that's an interesting idea - pick up a D300/D300s and a lens to go with it - a nice foothold in the full-frame world. Future lenses would be full frame as well, then by the time we're ready to replace the D7000 we should be in good shape... Hmmm... Edit: Oops, the D300 is DX, not full frame. Another interesting idea. I've seen the results, and they look interesting, but I'm not sure it's interesting enough to me to want to permanently convert a camera. Yeah. When we were looking at the D700, a guy at a now-dead camera shop told me the 18-70 was actually a pretty decent lens, pointing out that it has the metal mount ring. At the time, I didn't know that many of the kit lenses now use plastic there. Yeah. The only lens we've purchased recently was the Tokina, and on that we got a good deal from a friend who was switching to full frame. Come to think of it, the aforementioned (and dissed) Quantaray zoom is actually a full-frame lens - I bought it to use with my N65. [/QUOTE]
