Jacko, don't let your wife read this... she will be jelaous!!!
Seriously, that's what is called a passion for photography...
I remember when 16 years ago (my late secondary school) I send mails to all (N,C&M) camera makers, asking for info (which was not that easy to acquire by that time). Nikon was one to respond at once, and pictures they had in their F-601 booklet (don't laugh they were really incredible) left me with some sweet pain that could only be healed with gooood photography... Ups... this thread is becoming more and more philosophic and emotional... But on the other hand Nikon cameras somehow are able to create this kind of relation.

That's what I'm talking about Thanks for sharing this.
I totally understand!!! Back in the day, I would buy my F3hp "gifts" for our anniversary!!... The 6 month month anniversary holding the fondest memories.... we shared a whole day together at Leu Gardens here in Orlando with that days gift.... the MK-1 firing rate converter..... I tear up still when I think about it....
Of course you know according to MR, the Canon crowd, and many other, you haven't begun to experience the joy of Photography because you are shooting cropped.
Hey, guys I think we should go this way, and make a big party at March 1'st to celebrate the anniversary!!! Then we could exchange dates of purchase of our Nikon bodies so that we could send each other postcards ...... Sorry, I couldn't resist.....

Congratulations Man, and enjoy them both.
When I'm looking through my 12-24 Nikkor at 12mm, hmmm, I don't quite know how to describe it I "plumb get the tingles"
I don't think I could stand it any better than this.
Ok fox lets change a sound.
I got a used F3HP at 1989 with 3 lanses.
Cost me $750.Body was built 1984.
It still roks you think that all DX2,DX1,D100,D200,D70 and D70S will rock!
