And you do wonders with the Micro Nikkor on your AR3 with your flower photos. I guess as much as I?d like that body my dilemma here is that the price is $3995.00 Canadian funds compared to about $3198 in the US. My local dealer has the Sony?s in stock. With taxes the camera comes to approximately $4500 in Canadian funds. Is the camera worth that much I guess is what I have to determine? On the other hand a new M10 is just short of $10,000 Canadian with the difference in our money to the US these days. Tough thing is I live an hour from Port Huron Mi and the US Border. Hard to justify the Canadian prices.
