When I got my first DSLR back in the fall of 2008, I made the decision I would be happy with having just the D80, 16-85mm VR zoom and the SB-800. I still had my compacts at the time, that was more than enough equipment. I had came from a world of owning two film SLR's, five lenses, two flashes, and one camera bag just wasn't enough it seemed to hold it all. I was a self-proclaimed gear whore, I needed to change my ways.
It didn't take long before I lost the desire to use the PS cams, I could just do sooooooooo much more with the Nikon. Naturally, I added more pieces to the puzzle and it didn't take long before I had a fresh pile of equipment - two DSLR's, three flashes, five zooms. Bah. All three of my Domke bags have gear in them.
So, what goes around comes around. There are times when I simply want to go light and take a walk. I usually take the little D40 and a lens of my choosing. Today, I opted for the D80 - it seems so heavy - plus the 16-85mm VR, the perfect walk-around lens. I am realizing that Nikon's mid-level bodies (like the D80 and the newer D90) are tanks and weigh as much, I find myself preferring the lighter bodies.
Anyway, I was happy to record these files, the reader won't care about the gear used. They never do.......
