I'm considering a Nikon D200 set with a complete macro set up. Still comtemplating as there seems to be a lot of negative comments, especially with regards to the banding issue on some batches. But I find the 36 months product life cycle to be quite attractive.
Of course, subsequent high price of lens acquisition is also a consideration.
In any case, I'm sure there are some Nikon users on the board. Ibn is one of them and he takes absolutely cracking pictures with his Nikon system. We are all moderators on www.aquatic-photography.com.
