Excellent news Glen - have a great Christmas testing out that beautiful VR lens of yours

Cheers,

by **Glen** on Wed Dec 22, 2004 3:21 pm

Thanks guys, cant wait to test out the 70-200VR Terri has hidden somewhere and the 45P and the Gitzo (scheduled also for tomorrow).

Funny thing is 6 months ago I hadn't used my Nikon SLR for a year, now when my Nikon DSLR is missing in action for 2.5 weeks I feel it is about time to get a second body!!

Yay Glen, you got your Xmas miracle!

Pu that 70-200 and TC17 to good use.

Did they tell you what went wrong or what they changed/fixed/replaced on your cam?

by **JordanP** on Wed Dec 22, 2004 3:23 pm

........... the D2H is coming down .............

by Mj on Wed Dec 22, 2004 3:28 pm

Damn !!!

And I was just getting ready to suggest that I borrow all your poor dusty lenses over the xmas break!!!

mmm... oh well...

by **Glen** on Wed Dec 22, 2004 3:38 pm

MJ, take the big russian for a date over the break

Jordan, I think the pick for me will be the D100 replacement. Then I might be able to get a shot good enough to fly to a town far away and burgle a printer :wink:

Onyx, didn't tell me what was wrong yet, preliminary call as a favour to me, could have picked it up this afternoon but a bit on

by **W00DY** on Wed Dec 22, 2004 4:14 pm

I better get your 50 1.8 back to you then....

Oh, tha's right you have a new 70 - 200VR to open, you won't be using any other glass for a while

Glen!!!!

That’s the best news I’ve heard all day mate.
I know what you’ll be doing over the next week or so :wink:

Cheers

Ray,

you are spot on, Christmas will break over me like a slow wave over the next few days, D70 back tomorrow, new Gitzo 1348 tomorrow, Christmas Day hands on the 70-200 & 45P 2.8. First time I have looked forward to Christmas for years

Just have to restrain myself from visiting Birddy in the middle and picking up something wide angle

That is fabulous news. What better news could one hope for, perhaps a pay increase.

Now you will able to use your new toys before and on x'mas day.
