That's $500 you could have spent on accessories for the D90. If you really want to start a pro film SLR collection then go ahead. Personally I regret buying so much film gear which I don't use any more, but then who expected digital to go so far, so fast..

I'm with Charles, I would use the money to buy equipment to support the D90, Jeff

I see from your profile that you're something of a collector (unlike me).

This setup doesn't excite me. The first problem is the 28-105. Yes it was the professionals workhorse for years but it doesn't have the well-deserved aura of the 35-70 f2.8 or the 28-70 f2.8 (I have the 28-70 f2.8 and there is something special about the images).

The F4 was before my time with Nikon and I haven't heard anything about it. My favourite from the 1990's is the F100 which was a really nice piece of machinery (I've kept mine).
