I was thinking of the D3x after trying out at the cs kopi session. But looking as the 5 digit price, I think can forget about it unless I am doing this as an occupation or strike toto.

Couldn't agree better, if its nt ur profession, its really hard to justify on the huge expenditure, i rather splurge on lens, from a leisure shooter standpoint

Besides birds and animals, I can use it to shoot human beings uptight, sporting action and abstract composition. Those wider angle lenses like 24-70 are not that useful to me. This is why I opt for Nikkor 200-400f4 VR - my dream uptight lens for now.

I think the 24-70mm is a natural mate to FX, but my wish list is the 200mm f/2!

Tats on most wish list as well! But a wild monster to tame for it's weight n hefty price tag :devil:

Oh, tat shd be under others..
Actually i like the 50 f1.2 ais ..
Comparatively.. i think it prevails over Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 and quite on par with Zeiss Plana ZF 50 f1.4 :lovegrin:
o.. forgot to add, it depends.. if im shooting event then it will have to be e 24-70(if i can ever afford it). but for now, all my af/zoom lenses sit in my dry cab when im shooting my own stuff. just dun like zooms n af.
my typical walk around kit for film is tokina 20-35 2.8, nikkor 50 1.2 AIs, and either vivitar 105 2.5 macro or 135mm f/2.0 ais.
for my d200, the 50 is swapped out for 35mm f2 pre ai. the 50mm eqv. focal lenght is really important to me. fits just nice. =)
havent tried the 2 other 50s you ve mentioned, but its worlds apart from the 50 1.4 ais/af-d (haven tried AF-s). dof,contrast,colour rendition, bokeh.. really special lens =)
