   Good luck in your assignments!

   Hi Karl

   Love your stuff and usually check your site most days. Can you just give us a bit of info on how you are finding the new Nikons. Are they as good or better than your long-suffering Canons? No regrets swapping over? Things they are better on?

   I am taking a year off work soon and will be travelling SE Asia shooting Humanitarian stuff, people etc. Will have my trusty D700. Do you find the weight gets a bit much sometimes? My D700 with the MB D10 grip is probably similiar to the weight of one of your D3’s (but you have two). By the time I throw my Nikkor 80-200 AF 2.8D on there I can really feel the weight in my Think Tank (holster type). I just wonder how you get on with two heavy bodies plus all the other stuff. I know you carry a computer too. I am thinking of taking my MacBook pro with me.

   I know that Steve Mccurry complains about all the stuff he has to carry now he has come into the digital age.

   Hope to hear from you soon – Phil

   Hi Phil,

   First of all thanks for following the blog.

   Sorry for not replying to your comment back in July when I was in Mali

   Actually I love the new Nikons, they are great in low light and I have gotten the focus system dialed-in now. No regrets swapping over!

   I hope your year off in SEAsia shooting Humanitarian stuff goes well. Let me know where and when you’ll be there and perhaps our paths will cross.

   Cheers,

   Karl
