My Nikon gear.

I currently own

the legion of Nikkor AI/AIS lenses:

accessories

I previously owned:

On my near-term wishlist

  • Nikon D700
  • Nikon 28-105mm F/3.5-4.5D
  • Nikon 28-70mm F/3.5-4.5D
  • Nikon 28-85mm F/3.5-4.5D (I really want to see which of these cheap lenses works best on a D700.)

and more Nikon manual focus AI AIS lenses

On my longer-term wishlist

  • An equivalent to Canon's 24-105mm F/4L USM IS.
  • An equivalent to Canon's 70-200mm F/4L USM IS.
  • I guess I will just buy a FF Canon body to use the above two lenses, when I have enough money and if Nikon still does not have thest two lenses.
  • Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 (I am not sure I really need a f/2.8 lenses)
  • Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 (I am not sure I still like wide-angle lenses)

On my dreamlist

  • Nikon D-F6 body, a full frame SLR body with exchangable digital back (Not yet available and far from affordable :) Isn't it a waste to upgrate a great camera body every few years? It will be great if I only need to upgrade the digital back (at a lower cost, of course).
