Well if your going to blow 3 grand for a D700 might as well tell your banker
or loan shark to just make it  5 grand for a D3.
And if your going to blow 5 grand for a D3 you might was well tell your
banker or loan shark to make it 7  grand for an M9.  Freeing my Leica glass
out of Pelican plastic prison. The M9 by the way is virtually the same price
as a D3x.
And if your going to blow  7  grand for an M9 you might was well tell your
banker or loan shark to make it 14  grand and get  a Hasselblad CFV 39!
Freeing my Zeiss glass out of Pelican plastic prison.

I'm going to go for an M9
Fall short
And end up with a D3
Which is a heck of a lot better then a measly D700.
Only babies use D700's.
Big fat ones.
