If you're gonna be shooting 21MP, get the glass that makes it worth it. I can see a clear resolution difference between my 50mm 1.8 (dxo rates it top 3 or 5 of nikons most highres lenses, not incl old ones) and my normal zoom lens (that is still supersharp). And that's 12mp.
Think like this: if both were 12, what would you get? Only people that does fashion needs that many pixels (and it's only the editing that needs them, the billboards aren't even that high res).
Just skimmed this page, so sorry if it has nothing to do with the resolution. Talking as a D700 user though, I've started to get dependent on all the quick switches on my D700, after using it these 3 months. Going from 51point Af, two switches (one point Af and continuous Af) and I have focus tracking on the subject I choose. I've also set the regular "choose a point Af" to 11 points, which makes it fast for me to move the point across the viewfinder since you usually do not have to be spot on, just move one degree and Af, hold and take photo.
The most useful thing that I would have a hard time without, only after three months with it, is that I set the middle button on the multiselector to 100% zoom on the image - one second to check the sharpness. It zooms 100% on the focuspoint you used in the photo.

I just got so burnt out on digital. My friends and everyone around me shoot digital and photoshops their shit to hell. It just got to the point where I didn't even want to take photos anymore. And the whole "click shutter button, check lcd screen, delete, reshoot, repeat" business gets old. I started on film and ill always prefer film. I've been wanting a medium format set up for years, and to finally have one, especially a hasselblad... Definitely the most excited I've been about anything in a long time.
Yeah, Ive started to shut off the LCD, limit the amount of photos, and force myself not to look at them until I get back to the hotel - when shooting at night

Worth more than my car (but not by as much as the Nikon version is). Can't say I wouldn't love to have one, though.
I was at a Nikon store yesterday, and some guy came in and wanted to feel the 500mm I think it was. He ended up getting it with a D3 for like 12000 dollars. I was standing in the corner thinking "hmmm is this bag worth 200 bucks.."

Somewhere were you can see if you got quoted?
Another forum I'm on, Swedish computer one, just got it in their latest update - and it's really useful. No need to check bad through pages of a thread, so you don't miss someone responding to your post.
Just an idea.

John, found a Leica M6 Classic with/without Voigtländer 25mm/f4 for 8500sek (1100 dollars) with the lens. Seems like a good price, but it's in Sweden.

Newest member of the family! Always wanted this lens. Got it for 5500 SEK so I couldn't refuse it. They usually got for around 6500+ in pretty used condition. He said he rarely used it, and it looks that way too (almost looks new). Somehow he'd seen my Flickr, kinda weird to get a compliment for the photos cause I only wrote my first name. Probably the email... hmm..
