Just got a Nikon D70 with some of the funds from selling my taping rig.  I'll be a patchrat and have more time for talking some nice pics! ;D

Thanks for the tip on the website.....Damon steered me to http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/ and it's great too.

I got the package deal which included a Nikkor 18-70mm f3.5-4.5g AF-S DX Zoom.  I also just ordered a Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro lens. :)

you're gonna love the 18mm wide.  i'm always amazed at the pics i got with my old 24mm non-ai lens.
