It's a sad state of affairs. But you still focus the manual lenses on  
the ground glass. And I find manual focus is easier on a Nikon body  
then a Canon. I think Canon's ground glass is too fine. Using the F4s  
and F5 is a joy. I won't get rid of them.

When the D3 comes out the D2X should drop in price. A lot. It's a  
great camera though. But your 20mm lens will become a 30mm. ;-(  I'm  
saving up for the D3.
