Glad you're happy!

It's my favorite lens on DX too.

Make sure you share your photos on the POTD thread and others!

I'm in the same situation right now but am waiting to see what happens as a follow up to the Df before spending serious money (I'm interested to see if the innovations of the D750 lead to a smaller more manageable Df2).

From my perspective older lenses are a major consideration because:

1) I like using the aperturre ring like I did most of my life.
2) you can get really REALLY good Ai/AIS lenses dirt cheap.

If you are doing night shots and star shots then this might be worth thinking about too. What I want is a cheap DX upgrade that will:

- like the D90 have an auto focus motor so I can use older Film AF lenses that I have and love (so the 5200/5300 are out)
- upgrade from the D90 to have an aperture ring tab, so that I can use some of the AI, AIS lenses that I come across every day. I can use them right now with the D90 but without automatic metering.

On eBay / Craigslist prices, the move from my D90 to a used D7000 is only around $200 which seems like a no brainer.
