There is no way of knowing the shutter count at this point, and to llook at
this shot off of the D90, I am really wondering why I even went to the trouble
and expense of ORDERING a D700. This is my current best camera with about
my worst lens. But now I am torn....is it crap after all?
It is a Nikkor 70-300 G lens which is super slow, and all plastic (and glass)
but on the D90, it suddenly looks a lot less crappy. Once I took the D90 to
New Orleans for the first time, I finally realized what a super camera it was.
But seeing this shot, which is probably one of the best photos I ever took,
I am starting to think a bit better of that new-fangled G lens. It cost me a
whopping $69 refurbished. Hell, I'd give $69 for a poster print of the damn Lion shot.
