Canon 300L 4.0 and the new Sigma 150 macro lens will be my next buy. These two together with my 400L 5,6 and Tamron 28-75 zoom + a Kenko 1,4 converter will keep me occupied for quite some time.

I suspect that today I will be purchasing the Nikon D50 so you guys might not see much of me for awhile - while I scratch my head a lot and figure out what I am doing with a dslr

Nice one K.C. From what I have heard, it is quite a straight-forward camera to use. Moderator AWOL?

I've just sold my Nikon 80-400 VR... Maybe get something in the new year, if the money is still there probably the 70-200VR, so I can utilise my Nikon teleconverters with it and sell the little Kenko that I kept to use on the 80-400... but the 300/2.8 VR is crying out for me

LOL, I suspect it will be that or a pain-in-the-A Moderator asking a lot of questions

The D50 is very easy to use - everything is logical and pretty straightforward. The only thing that puzzled me at first was the inability to change metering modes - then I saw in the small print that the default setting was for a simple menu - first thing to do is change that to advanced then you have everything you need. I really hate it when you have to read the manual!!

Well, I'm back home and the Camera shop bag (big) is sitting on my counter and I have just stared at it for the last 1/2 hour. Like you, I seldom read a manual until a couple of months down the road after I've played with my new toy. Then, while reading, I find myself saying "that's why it did that"

Beware Greypoint (Sue) is an undercover Nikon saleswoman in disguise that has infiltrated this and other forums.
