Yesterday, Jim Lakey confirmed that he had the BL-3 battery caps in stock, and he is sending that with the new 24/3.5 TS, and a Brightscreen (Proscreen) for the D3 for me to test. I am excited! I am very much looking forward to trying the ZF lenses on the D3 (I just have not had time in the last five months) and the Proscreen is just a great reason to play.
All this new stuff will arrive while I am in another city (book shoot and a workshop in the same city) so will have to wait, but if I like it, then I will get one for the D300, too, but send the body to Jim for fitting, testing and calibration. Even when AF-ing, I like the way the huge centre microprism goes completely clear as it focusses, just another confirmation.
I sold that 80-200 and the new owner loves it. I replaced it with the 70–200 VR, and the TC 1.4 II extender. Both work fine on both bodies—my testing setup may simply have been at the minimum focussing distance and I was confusing the results. cheers, kl
