HI MikeI'm thinking about selling my backup M8 for a D700 for the reach and sometime convenience of AF. I'm reading the kit lens is not that good what lens or lenses would you recommend?
You can't go wrong with this combo. You will love them both. I just upgraded from 28-70 f/2.8 (a very nice lens) to 24-70 f/2.8 thanks to the b/s forum here. My new lens is just fantastic. I bought a 70-300 VR when I moved to Nikon and it really serves me well.Thanks guys I think I'm going for the 24-70 and the cheap 70-300 AFS and see what comes out at the show...thanks your input
Absolutely - excellent choice - both fine lenses, and they cover a lot of ground.Thanks guys I think I'm going for the 24-70 and the cheap 70-300 AFS and see what comes out at the show...thanks your input
My vote:
1. Zeiss Distagon T* 2.0/35
2. Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2.0/100
3. Nikkor 2.0/200
Well i have to disagree. The D3 (and very similar D700 vf) is ALOT easier to MF with then the D2X (wich works just fine) reasons being the VF estate and the uncluttered view. (for me at leastI think the D700 being considered does not allow for swapping focus screens. Those Zeiss lenses you mention are great pieces of equipment (I have both) but having focused them while depending on the green dot in a D2X viewfinder, I would never consider a camera that did not allow me to install a split screen focusing screen to facilitate use of those Zeiss lenses.
