[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1249474, member: 45350"] Thanks Doug and everyone. I'm really beginning to think about a second alternative. KEH has D200 bodies for ~$600 and a refurb D90 for ~$700. I really like my D5000, but it's my first DSLR and when I bought it I didn't understand how limiting the lack of focus motor is. Going to think about it some more but I may put off any more lens purchases and save for a second body with focus motor. You also mentioned going manual focus (My eyes aren't the best but I can probably live with that for landscapes). How about some of the really old glass. Anything out there cheap and usable strictly manual in UWs? EDIT: I am still thinking about the Tokina 11-16 the f2.8 is very tempting . . . [/QUOTE]
