Whatever you choose, be sure to hang on to your trusty D40 unless it's dead in the water. It's such a great little body when just want to dash out of the house with something light and easy. You'll...

Lovely. Especially like #2, #3 and #5.

Picked up a D40 earlier this month in preparation for vacation. I was not disappointed.

Thanks, toomanycanyons. I feel very confident that the D40 is not a toy. It's a creative tool, and one that I look forward to exploring. Part of my thinking re. this purchase was also price: I...

Okay! Okay! I've been toying with the idea of getting a D40 for years and this thread finally pushed me off the fence. Ordered a D40 and a 18-55VR from one of the big used dealers. I look forward...

Thanks for sharing. All are wonderful but I especially like #2.

What a fabulous dilemma! Do you live near a place where you can rent each of the two bodies in question and give them a spin before making a buying decision?

Can't comment on the third party offerings, but I too bought a used Nikon 105 2.8D. I really love the results. It will hunt sometimes, though, depending on conditions. But once you figure out how...

I didn't realize the warranty was longer than one year. Thanks for the info. I'll look into that!

No, there's no place for an allen wrench or anything else. I'm talking about the connection between the platform and the shaft.

I believe the warranty is just for one year and I'm past that.

Hello -- I have a Giottos MML3270B monopod. Lately I've noticed a bit of wobble between the round platform at top and the shaft. I removed the head (Manfrotto 234) but cannot find any way to...

The second shot is outrageously cute. Great capture.

As many others have said, there are a great many choices. My personal choice was Velbon El Carmagne 630A carbon fiber legs and a Markins M10 ballhead. Good balance between quality, weight, price,...

OP's talking about the older Nikon 105 2.8*D* version, correct?

And because your D90 has an in-body motor, you can use older Nikon D lenses too like the micro AF 105 2.8D. Not hard to find on the used market.
