I'm posting this here because it drives poor sods like Gilligan and
Scotty nuts to see anyone with some cash and a good time....

This is my current kit in development. Not all lenses are shown because
I'm trading for new ones currently. But what you see is what I'm
keeping for now.

Nikon D80 DSLR
Nikon D70 DSLR
Nikon 50mm 1.4
Nikon 70-200 VR AF-S
Nikon 18-200 VR AF-S
Tamron 90mm Macro DI
Nikon SB800 Flash
Nikon Coolwalker portable photo-drive
Nikon MB-D80 Power grip
Harbortronics D70 Powergrip
Pelican 1600 waterproof case

Total cost of this kit is about 6K thus far. I'm about to add the Sigma
30mm 1.4 and still deciding if I'll keep the Nikon 35-70mm 2.8 D. I'll
probably add a TC-17 teleconvertor for the 70-200 VR at some point as
well. I strongly suggest the MB-D200 powergrip for your D200, BTW.

Here's the Kit

The little Casio is great for taking pics of better camera gear!

Scotty has access to pigs, so it won't be as meaningful
for him.

All I see is camera equipment (not cash), someone taking photos of it and
posting a list on the internet. Is that a good time?

Just one of my rifles cost twice as much as all your camera equipment. None
of your optics comes even close to the scopes on any of my rifles.

Plus I carry a fully loaded rifle 6500 feet up a mountainside covered with
2-3 feet of snow. I rest going uphill and that's a good time!

Your could not even carry that Pelican case of cameras up 20 flights of
stairs without resting or changing hands.

You could trade that camera stuff for a decent roadbike.

Scotty can't change his mind... or his underwear.

When did he start wearing underwear???

Sorry, but the optics of a rifle scope are not on the level of a Nikkor
70-200 VR AF-S, which is one of the finest lenses in the world at any
price. In fact, your scope can't even come close to my Tamron 90mm,
which is regarded as one of the sharpest telephoto lenses ever made for
any purpose.

Rifles? Scopes???? BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Obviously you know nothing about the precision of rifle scope optics. Do you
have any AO camera lenses?

Is that for personal protection or is there something up there to shoot in
the snow at 6500 feet?

It's highly doubtful Rob has collimating lenses on his cameras or even his
telescope. Collimating lenses are used on precision optical equipment, not
fluffy consumer cameras. I've used a collimating lens on my telescope for
decades, but then I do real astronomical measurements not sight seeing. Got
my start right after the Korean War.

Capt Rob,
I'm curious, since you obviously spent a ton of cash
for your cameras and glass, why you chose the
50/1.4 rather than the 50/1.2? Or did it come with one of the bodies?
Regards,
JR
