This is why I should never have gotten the D700, which comes in tomorrow.
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.
