A few day ago, I shot a Chinese stage theatre using the best Nikon combo; Nikon D3 + 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII and Nikon D700 + 24-70mm f/2.8. Why did I choose to put the 70-200mm f/2.8 on the D3 and not the 24-70mm f/2.8? It is simply because I want …

Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8
An addition to my Nikon collection is the 14-24mm f/2.8. Consider that Canon and Nikon are increasing their prices in Feb, 09. I hope I have struck at the right time to get this amazing wide angle lens. This lens first came out in 2007, so a fairly new lens, …
