It's Hard to Take that Plunge

[F8&Bthere]

Thanks Marko. Yes the D300 is a great camera too, and this is why I'm so on the fence, but aside from what I mentioned above, there are little perks too like the viewfinder level indicator, the built-in eyepiece shutter, but the biggest reasons are that the price came down to around CA$2500 and as I sell through all my unneeded gear it comes very much within reach and it's mainly about the bigger viewfinder, better low light performance and last but not least- I've had a struggle with UWA optics on crop sensor bodies, most of the available options to get down to 10-12mm (15-18mm in 35mm terms) just not really being that good.

And I don't know why, maybe just a hangover from film days, but my 50mm and 85mm lenses on a APS-C sensor just seem a bit too long. I guess it's because I'm using them mostly indoors in smaller environments? I'm always backing up and tripping over the baby or stepping on the dog, lol
