Yeah I spent a lot of time looking at sample photos. I'll try and shoot some tomorrow. I ran out of time after washing my car.

Thanks, man. I took far too many to post. Most of them are just dumb. They're in a set on flickr:

That 85 is great. Definitely a nice one to have for either DX or FX.
And thanks!

You're welcome. One could break themselves for the next 10 years on camera lenses. I was poking fun at a friend of mine the other day saying he's has a $10,000 sack...of camera lenses that is. But if you are a professional I guess it's justifiable then. I'm still procrastinating about a $200 lens, lol!

Seriously. I've spent over 3X what I originally planned on spending. Oops.

If you do your home works before buying any equipments that would same you a bunch of $ also buying it as second hand it doesn't lose value if you plan to switch to something else. I regretted when I purchase my first entry DSLR for close to 1k when I recent upgraded to a 5D Mark II with bunch of accessories for $300 more. If I plan to resale it I wouldn't loose any $ to resale a 5d at amazon lowest used price as we're talking about gears prices.

Thats true. Unfortunately, new gear depreciates quite a bit. Especially DX bodies, as new tech comes out fairly regularly. I originally just bought a d5100 kit for about $700. Then later bought a 55-300 and 35mm, neither of which I can use on FX. So I took a hit on everything when I sold out. In a period of a little more than a year. It really doesnt seem like a whole lot if you space out your purchases. But if you look at what all you have and sum up the value, it can be surprising.

I had good intentions to take photos of my car, but the sun went down too quick.

Thanks! Although I went back and forth for about a month on whether I should buy it or not, now I can see how much I needed it.

Personally, I like how people think their D80's (nikon) are still worth close to retail. Even with 10,000 shutter clicks. At least that's how my local Craigslist is.

Jon

I sold my D90 for current retail. They're on close out for $500 new and I sold my kit for $650.

You guys are going to get tired of seeing our cat, but she likes to pose and I needed to test the 85.

Metalcoffin

Ohhh, kitty! Want to pet kitty!

Nice pic, cute cat. How close were you in this shot?

Sold my d5100 kit for just over half of what I paid for it. 11k clicks and not a scratch, scrape, or dent on it. Had it on CL for months at 450 and didn't get a bite. Ended up selling it to a friend for $400.
