I didn't say *new* image stabilized Nikon lenses. My point being that there are probably a lot of cases where a K-5 with an adapter and the 50/1.4 supertak you picked up with the $10 spotmatic at the garage sale last year will outperform a D700 with an image stabilized f/2.8, or an unstabilized f/1.4. Although I may have totally missed the memo about Nikon making image stabilized lenses faster than f/2.8. Granted, if you've got a good tripod and the night skies of the aussie outback to photograph, I expect the D700 will still outperform a K-5. I am rather curious to see what Nikon comes up with to replace the D700. Maybe they'll upgrade it with the sensor from their current top of the line. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
