Thanks for all of the tips. I've had the gear for about 7 days now, but this morning was the first when I finally had the opportunity to use the D800E as a landscape camera. The two river shots were made with D800E and 28 f1.8 G lens. This lens does not feel as nicely constructed as some of the top lenses, but wow is it sharp. The floral image was made last weekend on hill overlooking a field of sumac and goldenrod. The wind was blowing really hard, so rather than fight it, I let the wind paint the field... The last shot is of my wife and dogs taken on a cloudy day. I used a D300 (bought two for under $1000 and their combined shot count is less than 50,000 actuations) and the 200-400mm AFS VR1. It was this lens that tempted me back to Nikon. During the investigation of this lens, the camera store informed me that my 300 f2.8IS had some lens separation issues throughout. They offered me a fair value for an optic that was beginning to fail, so I made the jump...
I am really looking forward to fall and the new gear... In total, I now have.. D800E (used w/ <500 actuations) 2 x D300, 200-400 AFS-1, 300 f4 AFS (for my wife), 24-85 f3.5-4.5 VR (kit lens), 28 f2.8 AFS G, and the 50 f1.8 AFS G. I'm eyeing up the new 20mm f/1.8 AFS G and a 105 VR macro and I think I will have what I need until I can afford a 24mm Tilt/Shift.
thanks for your comments and keep them coming
