Will all those pixels in D800, i think there will be no difference in using 135/2 in FF or the 85/1.4 in DX mode, except if you

shoot outdoors.

If you are using a DX camera, then you'll have to decide which focal lengh is better for you needs.

Either way you shoul be fine.

I have both and they are equally excellet.

Let your pocket and your heart decide....:)

I have both lenses.

I need an extra punch from a pro level 2.8 lens (180-200mm).

I believe the 70-200/80-200mm 2.8 are better in terms of AF speed and versatility but I dislike its size and weight, as don't like to carry a

tripod around.

I considered the Nikon's prime 180mm/2.8, as it is half the weight and a fraction of the price, for specific low light situations, but it has no

VR for my D90/D700 cameras.

In summary, i am supposed to sell one lens, do you think i should sell my 70-300mmVR as I already have the good 28-300mm VR ?

If i am concernerd with size and weight, will the 180mm/2.8 fulfill my needs ?

Will I miss the VR feature using the 180mm, evem with so much ISO capabilities from my cameras (specially the D700).

Will I be good with the 28-300 for alll around shooting and a 180/2.8 for some special ocasions? Will I regret not taking the more expensive and heavy zoom?

I hope you help me in this issue.

Thanxs.

<p>Graham, I do have a Nikon D700 + 24-70/2.8 and I'm sure you will not regret keeping this combo.<br /> A D3 will not perform any better than the d700 with this lens and you can always buy a grip latter if it maters to you and you still get a pop up flash for free. :)<br /> That was the best suggestion of all in my opinion.<br>

Besides, what's the use of having a top Nikon camera body like D3 or D700 to use with a third party lens ??</p>

<p>Depending on your GF's budget, a D90 is still an excellent option and a great value.<br>

I have one and don't feel any need to upgrade it.<br>

A refurbished (=new) D90 costs only U$ 719.95 at B&H (U$ 500.00 less than de D7000).<br>

I already purchased refurbished cameras in the past and never regretted.<br>

With this money she can buy good a quality lens and/or a Nikon dedicated flash and she will probably get the same pictures with the d90 or D7000 anyway.<br>

I think it's worth considering...<br>

Good luck. :)</p>

<p>I contacted my Credicard and they said that can can do nothing about ir because it was a legal transaction.<br>

Paypal said that they can no longer do anything about it since the 20 days period for the dispute had expired.<br>

Nikon claims they did not receive the money.<br>

A sent an email to Paypal with a complaint agaist themselves.<br>

It seeems I was legally cheated by someone but I cannot define who was it.<br>

Any more ideas ???<br /><br /></p>

<p>That's a good idea Benjamin... <br>

I will call Mastercard tomorrow.</p>

<p>Thanks Dave.<br>

I just sent a message to Paypal's Help Center.<br>

They shall contact me back in 24-72h.<br>

What's 24-72h for someone who's awaiting already for about six weeks... <br>

I guess I'll wait then.<br>

Regards.</p>

<p>This is not the problem right now Matt.<br /> I already purchased another software from Amazon (for only 129.95) and what I really want is my money back.<br /> Can I still complaint to Paypal even after 30 days (dispute already closed) ?</p>

<p>I live in São Paulo (Brazil) and I purchased a Nikon CApture NX2 in the Internet fron Nikon USA and payed with Paypal on september 14th. and it was charged from my Credit Card on this very day (U$ 179.95).<br /> They should confirm my purchase in 24-48h but after waiting for 3 days with no answer I decided to contact custumer service by e-mail.<br /> The apologized and said they didn't have this item available (that information was not available in the Internet) and suggested me to buy a downloadable version and I agreed, BUT, I had already payed and needed my refund to make another purchase (serial).<br />Againn, they did not answer, so I decided to make a long international phone call to customer service and they agreed to find me a solution in 1-2 days and again, never returned with a solution for me.<br /> I opened a dispute on Paypal and Nikon contacted me and promised to give my refund.<br /> The dispute expired on oct. 14th and of course I did not make a complaint because everything seemed to be settled.<br /> A few days latter they sent me an email saying that my transaction was voided by Paypal on sep./16th, but the money was debited normally from my account<br /> I sent them a copy of my receipt with the debit confirmation from my Credicard 12 days ago and they never minded to answer again.<br /> I sent another 2 emails and no answer so far.<br>

I can't believe this is happening buying directly from Nikonusa...<br>

Could anybody help me on how to solve this puzzle ???</p>
