Enjoy it - I LOVE mine. D100 and that 50/65mm.... WOW!

Richard, congratulations! Nice shots, and I agree, the tonality of the large negatives is really something. Wait until you see some Velvia in 6x7... 🙂

Great camera system. What lens did you get with it?

80mm and the 150mm. I am wondering about the 43mm for sale in the Classified right now. If anyone has an opinion on whether a used rental lens is worth that price, please send me a PM.

Thanks.

I uploaded all the New Guinea pics to my smugmug site:

Warning: one of them could be considered as NSFW, but it's art!

C&C always welcome.

I rented a 43mm today and will be using it tomorrow at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse State Park. What I have seen though is that this lens is a definitely keeper (ouch, now I have to find a reasonably priced one). It's distortion free and flare free!! I love this camera!

If I didn't have a 43 already, I'd most likely have bought this. I'd be asking for a photo of the rear of the lens but otherwise it's a good price for a great lens imo.
