	Canon Pixma Pro9000
	Fujifilm X-E1	With 18-55mm lens
	Nikon 1 Nikkor 10mm f/2.8
	Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6
	Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6
	Nikon 1 V1	Still working with it as of 3/2012
	Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D	This is a spectacular lens. This lens makes macro composure fun and easy. Sharp enough so that I can use a 6T, 5T or BOTH diopters at the same time and get great results. I do have a few complaints. The zoom and focus rings are plastic. If you squeeze to hard they can bind up. I use a lite touch and the feeling is vey smooth. I use a Kirk LP-40 plate on the collar.
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED	Sharp, Sharp, Sharp, awesome build quality, a jewel. Now owning the D800 the 14-24 becomes a MUST have lens. It's corner sharpnes is astounding when stoped down to f4 or F5.6. This sharpness is critical on the D800. I did not fully appreciate why so many reviewers flipped over this lens when it first came out until I purchased a 18mm AIS, now I know why.
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G	My initial impression of this lens is that it is priced about $200 USD higher than it should be. I appreciate the fit and finish, the Nano coating is very nice and I appreciate the gold ring. With that said, it's focus is a little slow, yet faster than the 50mm f1.8g. Images seem to be a little soft, I am not impressed for the price paid. Yet I need to spend some real time with it.
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G	A great walk around lens that does everything right at a great price. Still testing CA's, otherwise very satisfied. Sharp, lite with fast focus. (Not 27-70 fast, but fast)
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR	I sold my 70-200vr MK I because it just sat on the shelf, to large. Then I picked up a 70-300vr. Good build, VR and autofocus are above average. Sharp to around 200mm. Overall a good value. Best modern zoom for the $ next to 70-200vr, but we still need a f4 version of the 70-200vr. If you can not budget in the mighty 70-200vr II this is a great alternative.
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G	A nice upgrade to the famous line of 85mm Nikkors dating back to the 60's. The build is not there but it is priced right, very sharp and fun to use. This is a case where the cheaper little brother performs as well as it's more expensive 1.4 counterpart.
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D ED-IF	A great, well built lens that performs like it's bigger f2.8 brother at a fraction of the price. Great build with great handling. Very sharp wide open, even better a few stops down. Even works with the TC1.7 II teleconverter. Focuses well on the D800! Also a wonderful lens on a V1 with the FT-1 adaptor. (You need a tripod with the V1) I use this with a Kirk collar. Replaced AF-s motor :-(
	Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II	Not enough experience to rate.
	Nikon D800	WOW... Fantastic files, detail up the wazzu... A great camera, yet I can not help but think it was released to soon. (I know it was delayed do to the disaster in Japan. :-(
	Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm 1:1.8
	Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm 1:3.5-6.3 EZ

	Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR	A superb lens at it's price point. Reading this review, you may be looking for a mid-range zoom that gives you a little more than the standard kit lenses. At the time of this writing, what is available from Nikon is the standard...
	Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF
	Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED	Build quality of Nikkors past. However, I question the cams and gears on this lens. My first unit started to bind up with lite use. (I am not a pro) and there are issures on the web about this isssue. I hope Nikon resolved this problem.

	Nikon D700	Nikon D700 review I have owned a number of DSLR's over the years, From Canons D30 and D60 to Oly's E-1 and E-2 to Nikons D70, D200 and D300. To say the least the Nikon D700 is a very enjoyable, fun to...
	Nikon D7000	Sold my D700 while waiting for D800. Picked up this D7000 and to be frank, I don't care when the D800 comes in, the D7000 is IMHO a mini D700. Great fit, finish, great features with awesome Nikon ergonomics. Low ISO performance is nothing short of spectacular.
	Nikon Nikkor 18mm f/3.5 AIS	A very well built lens that is the perfect size and weight as a walk-around lens when you want to travel light. The major problem is that this lens suffers from the same problem most older AIS and D wide angles do. Wide open I feel this lens is barely acceptable. It is very soft if not blurry. Stop down and it gets a little better, but it is no where in the same league as the mighty 14-24.
