Hehe, I wish I won the lottery. No I do not have a camera store. Some people spend there disposable cash on stupid things some people make lease payments on a car  for over 1000 a month. Some people spend thousands on meaningless watches or  jewelry, I love cameras  and the best nikkor glass.i took the picture with a D800 and 24mm af-d 2.8 lens. The only D lens I own. Why do I prefer G lenses over D lenses? Do I really have to answer that question. Put it this way. Most of my D lenses were upgraded to G/ new latest versions.   Can I get by with 20% of what I have now? Sure. Probably but why do people choose to buy a Mercedes over a Kia. I figure if there is something in reach of me owning the best why not do it. i believe personally I  like quenching my gear wantsif I hit the Lotto I'd probably buy all of b and h nhahahaha

Style --Admirable collection . . . but, somehow i lack the desire for a set like yours.  At this point in my life, i could afford any lens i wish too.  For the younger and less well financially endowed on the forum, allow me to step through my kit.I have two modes of photo taking, and a D7000 DX suite for each:

Don't get me wrong , I know some  photographers that are the worlds top photographers that only have 2 simple lenses in their bag and it works for them and  they are successful and get the job done. I too can get away with a 24-70'and 70-200 . But I just like owning em all that i want. Look. Others spend their money on booze hookers and cocaine I spend it on lenses. Simple as that. If I had unlimited resources like I said I'd buy every single toy that tickles my fancy out there. If u could do it go for it. u can't take the cash with u to the grave. Spend the money. Stop being cheap stimulate the economy . And never ask ur  friend if u can borrow a lens ever again.  Ill lend a friend money maybe, but not a lens. Never comes back the same.

Impressive!  I don't think I'd even be able to afford all the B+W filters that I'd have to buy if I owned that family of beautiful glass.  (I keep playing the dollar-a-week lotto strategy, hoping it'll pay off...lol).

That's beautiful....
