> Well, I place my order for the D7000 today.  Thanks to all who helped me
> figure out how to get the metering working for R lenses.  I have ordered
> three more Nikon mounts and will convert a few more lenses.  Also ordered a
> few Nikon lenses to fill in the gaps I have.  Got the 10-24 and the 70-300.
> The latter not the best but since I go beyond 70mm so rarely, (other than
> Macro) I wanted light and not too expensive.  It reviews fairly well out to
> 200 and a bit worse to 300.  Should get the stuff in about a week.

> That camera is a hard one to find.  Not sure if they are selling like hot

> them back because of some concerns about hot pixels that they have now
> issued a firmware fix for.  Everyone was out.  Found one at a Ritz in
> California near my father-in-law and since I know the manager from other
> dealings, he arranged for me to get his only sample and the lenses.  Ships
> Monday or Tuesday.  They are listed as out of stock on their web page.  
> Only
> a few brick and mortar store have any left.

> Thanks again for all the moral support.  I guess I am still as much of an R
> user as I am with my Rebel.
