I am sorry. I lied. I didn't take the shot for the competition first thing this morning. I feel like I have used you. For that I am sorry. Maybe I will shoot it tomorrow...

In other news, I am going to Vegas in two weeks for a water polo tournament. Stoked. And if I don't lose too much money while I am there, new lens. What should I go with... 24-70mm f/2.8 ED or the older 80-200mm f/2.8 D (Can't afford the VRII version of this lens).

what lenses do you already have? the 24-70 may me more useful

As long as i get a submission from you man.. It's all good. Else </3

Dear eeek: You're hot.

Nikon 18-55mm Kit lens.
Nikon 55-200mm Kit lens.
Nikon 50mm f/1.4 Prime.
Nikon 50mm f/1.4 Prime Manual.
Vivitar 105mm f/2.5 Macro Manual.
Vivitar 24mm f/2.8 Prime Manual.
Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Manual.

Soon to be here, Nikon 35-135 f/3.5 Manual.

Manual lenses are all used for my manual film cameras. But I do use my macro on my DSLR.

Leaning more towards the 80-200... And not the push pull... I hate push pulls...

I think I am gonna win big in Vegas and roll around with a new setup. Here is the plan. D700, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, Nikon 50mm 1.4Prime, 80-200 VR II, Nikon 105 f/2 DC Prime, Nikon 105mm f/2.8 macro, Other brand 35mm 1.4 prime...

Geez, that's gonna rack up quite the cost.. Why get the two 105's?

Lol. That's my imagination at work is all. It will never happen. Each 105 has it's own purpose. One of them would be purely a macro lens, the other is purely a portrait lens. The DC is one of the best portrait lenses out there. Amazingly sharp, and the defocus control is ideal for portrait work.
