Another retired prof photographer in our local camera club also has a D810 and D3s will get a D500. We both think that the D810 and D500 should cover all our needs!
We both have plenty of hi end Nikon FX glass but I have no DX lenses so may also get a Nikon DX 18-140 AF-S for the D500 have any of you got any gen on this lens? In D300 days I was well pleased with the 18-200 AF-S DX but it was a little too large and heavy.
I agree that a D800/810 with D500 is a ideal pairing.
The nikon DX glass is not as good as the FX glass and the DX range is very limited. It seems that the best solution is to keep a limited number of FX lenses and use these on the DX cameras. This is certainly my intention.
I dont aim to buy any more Nikon glass except for the Nikon 200-500 AFS then I can probably retire the Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS as putting the 200-500 on the D500 gives me the same range as my D3S with 400mm f2.8 with X2 converter.
