Chris,
But if you switched you could use Leica glass.....

However, on a serious note. What is with the longing of the Nikon crowd for
a full frame sensor.  The results coming out of the D2 series are just fine
for just about any use one could want.  Nikon has spent a lot of time coming
up with good wide angle lenses for the APS sized sensor such that only the
14mm on the full frames goes wider(corrected fisheyes discarded as having
poor edges).

The next few months should be very interesting as the whole DSLR market
shifts once again.
