Nature photographer here but too busy with studies and no $$ to get D7D.... also considering to wait for the 9 model and jump to there.... still thinking.

If I can make it... will add to the list... Tokina 400 f5.6 Minolta 135 f2.8 Minolta 28-70 f2.8 G

Happened to recall such a lobang... think the fellow's still interested in letting go the bazooka http://www.naturephotosociety.org.sg/dcforum/DCForumID3/223.html

600si can also do wireless flash. It has the classic design (dial style not button pushing) and is semi-pro grade with it's available functions. Dynax 5 is newer though and the body is more compact.

I'm assuming the Dynax 7 works the same way as Dynax 9... With the 2 secs mirror lock-up, when u press the button to take a shot (regardless of shutter speed), the mirror will flap up first and after 2 secs, the shutter door will open and exposure the frame according to the metered reading.

4000AF is a Minolta flash unit designed for the x000 series before xi or si came about. Can try ur luck at Camera Workshop.

haven't seen him playing in the current Premier Snooker League yet. Saw Steve Davis though.

2nd hand prices so far r around $1500

Been shooting it for the past 3 years at K2 hilly slopes. Requires 400-600mm focal length to get something reasonable. Me used slides exclusively and on sunny weather at Sepang, using Velvia to pan shots gives great punch in color.

28-70/f2.8 G IS a slow focusing lens. In comparison, the D9 body focuses faster than say a 700si with the same lens but still slower than using 70-210/f4. It's unusual that it does not lock focus properly with your D7, so best to check it out. Perhaps it has locked focus on a defined focus...
