So what kind of lenses do the people here have/use?
Me -- Sigma 28/70 2.8, Sigma 70/210 2.8, Tamron 70/300, Nikon 50 1.8, Peleng 8/3.5 (also have 18-55 kit lens that sits on the shelf) -what can I say -- I am poor/cheap - Brian Sullivan
The D40 kit 18-55mm plus a Nikon 24mm f2.8 (manual focus on the D40 unfortunately but still worth the effort). - Fraser Smith
Sigma 10-20mm, Nikon 24mm f/1.8, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 85mm f/1.8, Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5. Thinking of dropping the needle on a Sigma 18-50 f/2.8. I do love my primes. - Cecily
Nikon 10.5mm ƒ2.8, Nikon 24mm ƒ2.8, Nikon 50mm ƒ1.8 + kit 18-55mm which usually sits at home - Tsega Dinka
Nikon 18-200/3.5-5.6, Nikon 50mm 1.8, Nikon 70-200/2.8. The last one is my best one but I rarely end up using it since it's a bit large/heavy and the 18-200 works well enough in most situations. Need a macro at some point but holding off for a bit. - Gus Perez
Just added the Sigma 30mm f1.4. It's my new favorite lens. - Tsega Dinka
I'm thinking of getting the Sigma 50mm f1.4 after reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp...">reading this</a> but it costs more than the Nikon 50mm f/1.4. I wish I could get my hands on one as a rental before I made the commitment. - Cecily
Wow, that sigma 50 does look enticing. I wouldn't mind upgrading my nikon 50 f1.8 with it. Let me know your thoughts if you end up getting it. - Tsega Dinka
24-120 mm/f.3.5 and 50 mm/f.1.8 - Tamon Yanagimoto
I have a 18-55mm kit that came with my D40x and then I added a 18-200VR. I have my eye on the new 50mm 1.4 now... - Tony Vota
24-120 and 50 - Tamon Yanagimoto
50mm and the kit - Joseph Ferguson

Nikon introduces D5000 digital SLR camera | Digital Photo | Macworld
"Nikon on Tuesday introduced the D5000 digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, which will debut later this month for $850 (equipped with an 18-55mm VR lens). The D5000 sports a 12.3-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor and 2.7-inch “vari-angle” LCD display. It can shoot continuously at 4 frames per second and records High Definition (HD) moves at 1280 x 720 resolution, 24 frames per second. The camera has an HDMI interface for connecting to an HDTV." - Cecily from Bookmarklet
Would you buy one of these? Why or why not? - Cecily
Nope -- wouldn't autofocus with most of my lenses. - Brian Sullivan
Tony Vota
Looks like it has been sort of quiet here of late. Maybe some fresh activity to follow after people get some new Nikon gear for the holidays?

Hadn't heard of this. Has anyone installed the D300 firmware update yet? - Gus Perez
I just upgraded mine, and all went well. These upgrades usually do, but you have to make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. - Cecily
