Well all the big boy glass I get for my crop circle nikon will someday be
usable for the big boy nikon body I get when I put that kind of cash
together; its only a matter of time on a non crop circle body.

Though the $199 crop circle 1.8 tiny new 35mm lens gets me more ecstatic
than the 1.4 full frame 35mm out this week for thousands an weighs a ton and
looks like Tupperware.

The 1.8 DX looks like a Barbie and ken accessory in front of a hunking
hulking d3. Is sharp as heck.
Me I'd pay more for compactness but I get to pay less.
