I farm for a living. My first camera was an FG Nikon back in college and when the light meter shorted out the second time, I invested in an F4 which is still going strong without a single problem. My 35-135 zoom lens is however starting to rattle and may not last long...

I entered the digital realm with a coolpix 5000, but just could not get used to it after the F4.

I splurged on a D200 to see if it will make photography new and exciting again ... liking the instant preview to know if an experiment was a success or a dismal failure... new 18-200 lens makes for a compact all-around rig, and It has been easy getting comfortable with the new rig after getting spoiled by the F4.

I traded up to an '09 M1000 Sno-Pro sled and I love this sled in the mountain powder, but the trouble is-- I'm having too much fun to dig out the camera. Problems ... problems ...
