    And I probably will!!! ;-)

    "my 80-200f2.8D(used 10 times I bet)" I'm guessing nine of those ten times were in a swamp? :-O

    Just kidding buddy! Though I do know how you are, and what your idea of fun is! ;-)

    well twice ;) nah..... a few "people shoots" , full frame birds at 4 feet with tubes, flower junk, insects, SUN BATHERS ;)

    DUDE a F100 will do 99% of what an F5 will do....... WHY BUY A HUGE BODY for a 50mm lens ;)

    if you "NEED" the F5's meter....... GIVE UP PHOTOGRAPHY and find a new HOBBY .

    SURE a GREAT meter is good and all, but the F100 or even a N80 can meter QUITE WELL .

    Great advice my friend. I don't NEED a F5, I WANT a F5. :-)

    Yes, I do know the difference!

    Like I WANT a D70....

    Eventually.
