Thanks PF. I'll have a look for one this weekend!

I hope so too

Reason why I went Nikon is my friend lured me to the otherside. His image quality was just so much better. I guess after this I will know once and for all which side of the wall I will be on

As Felix said, the 85 f/1.4 is incredible. I would also recommend the 24-70 as a fantastic walk-around lens for the FF sensor. Enjoy it and I'll be looking forward to seeing the pics soon!

Thanks, will give feedback as soon as I can.

Nooooooo! You will get the best image quality by shooting full resolution, just pick up an external 1TB hard drive, they cost nothing and are plug and play.

Hey Mike, I look forward to more of your pictures. I've been a longtime Nikon user. The D700 and the 24-70 is actually my favorite combination so that would be a good step to take.

Congrats Mike. I think you should treat yourself to a new car after that long ordeal. Great camera - awesome lens. Should go really well with either a GT3 RS, Pagani or 458. Just sayin'
