Firstly, hilarious . .. I skipped at lot of the steps and ended up with the D700 and a painful dose of a reality check when I went to insure all this equipment for international travel!!!! Using the theory "buy it once" for all my 2.8 lenses, carbon fibre tripod, Really Right Stuff ball head and L bracket, plus the software puts a whole new meaning to "financial hemorrhage". But then, as the Mastercard commercial would say . .. what is the value of a fantastic photo that you have taken yourself. . priceless!!!!!
