My future equipments

Hi,
After thinking for a while, I have decided what camera and lens I'm gonna get next time or my dream set!

Cameras:
D700 for light travel

D3 for my kids' sports

D3x for serious landscape/portrait

Lenses:
Nikon 14mm-24mm f/2.8 for ultra-wide angle zoom

Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8 for convenient wide angle coverage

Nikon 24mm-70mm f/2.8 for normal zoom

Nikon 70mm-200mm f/2.8 for mid telephoto soom

Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 for convenient telephoto zoom when on travel

Nikon 50mm f/1.4 for low light (I hope Nikon would have a f/1.2 lens . Canon has it already!)

Nikon 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 for macro on homegrounds

Nikon 105mm f/2.8 for macro when I am travelling

Nikon 135mm f/2 DC for serious portraits (DC stands for defocus control)

Nikon 200mm f/2 for indoor sports and ultra-fast focusing

Nikon 400mm f/2.8 for outdoor sports

Teleconverters:
Nikon 1.4x converter
Nikon 2x converter

Why I chose these?
Cameras
I would want a light and good FX camera when I am travelling so I would get the D700. It produces fantastic images with its full-frame CCD sensor yet is lighter than the D3.

For my kids' sports (I hope my children will join sports CCAs), I would want a camera that can run fast. Thus I chose the Nikon D3. It runs at 9 frames per second on its full frame sensor.

Lastly, I would also do serious landscape work. For that, I am too lazy to get a Tachira so I would choose the D3x. Though it is not the perfect body for digital landscape photography, at least it produces superb high-quality images and another body to put behind my lenses.

Lenses
For ultra-wide angle for serious landscape, I want the super low distortion, super sharp Nikon 14mm-24mm f2.8. It is one of the best professional ultra-wide lens Nikon makes. '

What if I want a wide-angle when I am travelling? I would get this 17mm-35mm f/2.8 lens. It gives me a good coverage.

Next, for family gatherings or new year events, I would like the 24mm-70mm f/2.8. It is a pretty versatile lens and has a large aperture for low light.

When I want to photograph in a theatre, I would want the 70mm-200mm f/2.8 lens for its large and bright aperture, zoom range and size. I wouldn't want to be hauling a rocket launcher sized lens along the aisle!

To travel light yet covering a long zoom range, I want the 80mm-400mm because it is not very large and its usability due to its 5x optical zoom. With this, I do not have to change lens every now and then.

I also want a 50mm f/1.4 for low light and as a normal lens I fix on my cameras. Its super small, super light and focuses fast! I own a 50mm f/1.8 and I like it so much. I bet the 50mm f/1.4 would be even better!

For studio work or serious macro works, I would use this versatile 70mm-180mm macro lens for its zoom. I can easily zoom in or out from my subject without moving my tripod.

But when I am travelling, I want a smaller and lighter macro lens. Thus I would choose the 105mm f/2.8 macro lens.

Portrait work is also one that I want to focus on. So, I would get the 135mm f/2 DC for bokeh optimisation. Which means I can blur the background even more and give my subject or object my prominence.

If my son is in basketball, I would like to photograph him with this ultra-fast 200mm f/2 lens. I would be able to capture every motion and action on the indoor courts.

What if I want to shoot more action outdoors? I am getting the 400mm f/2.8. With this, I can easily capture outdoor action or even wildlife photography. Birds or simply a safari trip.

Teleconverters
I am getting the 1.4x converter because I can easily convert my 200mm f/2 lens into a 280mm f/2.8 lens. Pretty close to 300mm. I can also convert my 400mmf/2.8 lens into a 600mm f/4 lens!

I wouldn't want to stop at 600mm only. So, I am getting the 2x teleconverter beacuse I can convert my 400mm f/2.8 into a 800mm f/5.6!
