But in my bag, a camera body upgrade is long overdue, I will probably just wait until I can go full frame.


Ok, cross the Nikkor 50mm 1.2 AI-s  off the wish list.It should be here Tuesday! 
   Now to go check the tracking # for the millionth time today... 

It is what it is.

Id do a 24-70 or a 70-200. Amazing lenses and they are relatively there, if I can put in what little money I have i could afford the 70-200 lol.

Although right now, I would prefer to invest that into a new body.  I would pick up the Sigma 50-500mm
