In other news, I'm liking the Nikkor 24-85mm (f/2.8-4) I picked up 2nd hand last week. Easter was rather a lot of photography, and I still haven't uploaded the photos from the Melbourne at Night session on Saturday night. The pics from Chinatown in particular seemed to come out well.

The D700 has the most amazing dynamic range.. I can seem to pull detail out of deep shadows or blown-out highlights almost too easily, without losing colour saturation or detail - which just makes it ideal for night photography. I'm sure it's far eclipsing the results I could achieve with film, which used to be the benchmark for this sort of work.
