Visiting an old friend! \u00a0My workshop partner Jim Begley has always preferred the pro grade Nikons, the D3s, and D4. \u00a0He also borrowed my brand new consignment lens the 28-300 ( a long time ago ), and I never saw it again, now I know why!!!! \u00a0This is a big, heavy, but very versatile combination! \u00a0It isn’t a hiker’s combo unless you are a 30 year younger Schwartnagger! \u00a0 \u00a0It focuses very close, and is wonderful for machine gunning HDR images! \u00a0Now I’m not suggesting this secret weapon is why Jim shoots such gorgeous stuff, nope, but it hasn’t hurt him either. \u00a0I received one as a going away gift from Nikon and you can bet it will always be in my field kit! \u00a0The fact that it was arranged by my dear friend Bill Pekala, means even more!<\/p>\n
