Can't help it, man. I'm D3lighted! I'm D3lerious!

Sweet!!

That's 2000 ISO, btw...

So I tried out both of the new F/2.8 lenses Nikon is making on the new body. I decided to go with the 24-70 instead of the 14-24. At 14mm, it's SUPER freakin' wide for an aspherical lens. There's some distortion, though it's minimal. I just can't see using that wide a lens on a full frame camera a whole lot, so instead of buying the 14-24 at $1699, I bought a used (E+) Nikkor 14mm f/2.8 aspherical from Adorama to throw into the bag.

I also beefed up my flash abilities with an SB-400 (which is a small, light, carry-around kinda flash since the D3 doesn't have one built in and you never know when you might need fill), two additional SB-800s, and the SU-800 Flash Commander.

I need to get off my ass and get some pics into the current Challenge. I'm lacking in inspiration for the current theme, though.

Another. 70-200 f/2.8 VR with the 2x teleconverter.
