Thanks for the kind words Novicius, apart from my 18-35 f3.5-4.5 which seems to work well enough on the D3, my Nikkor 20mm f2.8 is faulty with an internal loose or broken screw due to it having been dropped while attached to the D300S. It still takes pictures but a loose screw or whatever it is, jams the AF mechanism. It works OK in manual focus if you jiggle the screw around inside by shaking the lens!!!

Haven't had the camera long enough to evaluate all my lenses with the D3. I am hankering after a 16mm f2.8 MF fisheye after trying one on the D5 at the Manchester D5-D500 launch day. I have one in my sights, I just need to negotiate a deal... I feel the 16mm would be good for astro photography and some landscape/panorama opportunities. Also inside churches and similar buildings, halls etc.
