    I'm making the switch

    After very much deliberation, I have decided to make the switch to Nikon from Canon. I posted something in sports photography a couple months back about this, and some people expressed interest in my gear. If you are one of those few, please PM me again, for I have lost track of who wants what. For those who may be interested, the stuff is

    1d body plus charger and a few extra batteries
    rebel ti body
    zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye
    sigma 24-70 f/2.8
    canon 50mm f/1.8 II
    canon 430ex w/ a broken hotshoe ($15 fix, I just never got around to it)
    1.4x II converter

    Like I mentioned, just PM me and we can take it from there. No need to clutter up the forum. Thanks everyone.

    Welcome, my new apprentice. The Emperor is most pleased by your coming to the Dark Side. We shall rule the Galaxy.

    Let me know if you've got any questions, man, or if you need anything at all. And you never know, if you want a D300 I might just have one in a few weeks to get rid of.

    Post it in our classifieds, please. The forums aren't an appropriate place to sell camera gear.

    Re: I'm making the switch

    I'm thinking about switching too...except in the other direction. I probably won't decide until after Photokina, but Canon seems to be more in line with my needs. They're both great. You really can't go wrong.

    Happy shooting!

    Re: I'm making the switch

    Congratulations. I switched from Canon; right after I shot my Canon SLR with a 9mm. I took an entire roll and the shutter was not working.
