[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 781010, member: 59143"] For Xmas, my wonderful wife bought me an Nikon D300 ! You can't imagine how happy I am about it, since I was planning on getting it somewhere down the road, anyway. She knew not to get me the kit lens because I've always spoken about how picky I am with glass and my needs etc.. Tomorrow I'm going to B&H to pick up a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 prime. And perhaps an 18-200 Sigma (which I think is just as good or even better than the Nikkor 18-200) or the Nikkor 18-125mm. I'm very excited, to say the least. Something I'm learning as well, is that the camera means absolutely nothing, if the person behind it doesn't know what to do with it. Getting the shot is the most important thing.. Knowing your camera's controls and being able to work with it efficiently enough is also important. And knowing which glass will be able to deliver your vision, is the last step. Just remember though, without number one.. numbers two and three are absolutely useless. I still stand by being comfortable as a top priority. You don't want to have to think about your comfort level when creativity should be first in line. doug [/QUOTE]
