Getting a Nikon D300s soon! I was originally planned to get a D300 instead to save around 500 bucks, but after considering the essential importance of the two year Canadian warranty and some minor upgrading functions, I will get the D300s instead (Got a pretty good bargain from a seller in Calgary).
While still haven’t sold all of my pentax lenses, I guess I wont be buying too many lenses for Nikon till after my flight back to HK
Here is a little list of lenses of interest.

Most likely I will be getting a nikkor 17-55mm or tokina 11-16mm for (ultra)wide first; then a 70-200m Little Black V; and finally a 35mm f2/f1.8
But of course again restricted by my limited budget, it will take quite a while….
And right, and I will be getting a SB800 back in HK
Let’s see how This Pro level camera facilitates my photography experience.
