Hi.

Hi, my name is Brian, new to the forum but not to the world of Nikon.

Location: Eastcoast Australia
Employment: Client Manager - Home Automation

My current kit (about 4days old now) is:
Nikon D700 + 24-70 f2.8 + 70-200f2.8 + Sigma 12-24 + SB600 + the usual stuff and accessories

I still have my Nikon D70 with the 2 kit lens (Now used by the wife for family happy snaps of our baby)

Previous Nikons:
F601
F501

I'm looking forward to expanding my photographic skills to match my new kit, as they say, it's above my pay grade

Welcome to the forum!! Hope to see what you capture with that D700 - and that's a nice set of lenses you have for it.

Hey Essence, your fast but I got you by a whole minute!

Wish I'd known it was a race - I'd upgrade my cable modem to enterprise speed...

I need a modem like that also... Always so nice to see you.

Welcome Brian.

Great setup there. Sounds like we have very similar equipment.

I'm jealous, though, it's just getting warm on your side of the world, and just starting to freeze on mine My D700 is about 3 months old now, and it's getting to the point where I don't want to go outside and play with it

From what I've seen so far this looks like a great forum for Nikon users.
This my first serious kit, I'm really looking forward to learning more about the D700 and take my passion for photography to new levels.
P.S I have updated my profile

I'm in SE Queensland, so the weather is pretty good all year round

So far the D700 has exceeded my expectations & the full size sensor, how I have lived without it for so long has got me beat lol

BTW: the temp today was 82.5F nice and warm.

Hi Brian and welcome to the Nikonites Community. The D700 is a great camera and you should have a lot of fun with whether it's cold or warm. Lots of friendly folks here who like to share their experience and knowledge of photography so jump right in and join us.
