I was using a 17-35mm lens for some wide shots and the 70-200 big heavy thing for everything else. Anything slower and I would have been shooting at ISO 6400 or more (most of these were 1600/3200 ISO). Not fun to lug it around a day at the park, but it is a necessary evil indoors in performance lighting….and a wonderful lens too :-)

You can still use the 18-200 DX on your full frame sensor. You just end up with 5-6MP images which is just fine for most of my work. Don’t sweat the small stuff, Trekker. Go out and shoot :-)

awesome pics! Which lens was this? I recently upgraded to the D700 and am evaluating lenses — right now just have the 50mm f/1.4 and the now-discontinued but EXCELLENT 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 AFS. What I miss from moving up from a DX sensor body is not having an equivalent to the 18-200VR! I don’t want to lug around a huge 24-70mm and a bazooka-like 70-200mm on, say, a vacation.

Carl,
GREAT stuff, thanks for taking these. Perhaps I can persuade you to send me a couple full rez for my scrapbook of madness?

With kind regards,
