I hate to say it but I finally had to break down myself. I had been buying all these lesser cameras, JUST like I did the
first time around, and NOT getting all that same money in a pile and just full-framing up. I had been monitoring the
situation, and with the D600 and D800 both having issues with consumers, I can tell the D700 is gonna be holding it's
value for some time. So I just got one. The cheapest one I could find, not a super smart idea, but that's the way
I think, apparently. I had convinced myself DX was fine, and it certainly IS...all my lenses were beginner material,
so DX was best and I managed to make it a better sitcho with the D90 and the D200s, I was making some good
photos with good resolution. I was ALMOST content. But I had been picking up a lot of 30-50 dollar manual focus
lenses, and I just let my mind get away rationalizing 5hit and 'fore long, I found it just too hard to keep saying no.
But now I am super-secret cash crackdown. I am just holding my breath on the shutter count. I already know
the condition, rating at least, is abysmal. But I am cambler.............see what I did there?
