I'll be darned. I stand corrected! I didn't scroll far enough down the page
to see the DX versions of the Nikon lenses, and the Canon...well, maybe I
should be surfing with reading glasses.... I really should rent one of each
from Glazers and give them a serious try-out.
The 5D is actually the most likely candidate other than the E-series, just
for the reason Moose suggested--I can still use my Zuikos at their normal
focal length. Plus that jellyfish photo....that's a stunner. (So to speak.)
The motorcycles are already on the block by the way... Had a little random
mechanical failure that resulted in a broken rib and shaken confidence.
Decided I need either a new Beemer or to race CB160s... My son and I went to
the track today to watch. First time for him. OM photos to be posted
later....
