I have mostly boated and fished in the Bay because I live near it.

You are correct, I was basing my assumption on the posts I have read in
rec.boats.

I've heard some good things about that Tokina lens. I also saw one of
the new Nikon D3 cameras over the weekend. $4000 or so. Sheesh.

The Nikon D3 will retail for $5,000 for a least a year or so, but that
is the least of your expenses with a full frame camera. You will now
need to purchase full frame lens to match up with the camera's full
frame sensor. Plan on spending substantially more on new AF_S lens than
you spent on the camera.
