thats kinda my goal... I'm hoping I can get one by then. Viewing this thread doesn't help... hahaha... everytime I open it I want my camera more and more!
A buddy of mine has the 2400 and it does make some nice 11x14s. But nothing any better than you can get printed at Costco or Sam's Club. It always been more economical to get reprints and enlargements at those two places than paying the dough it takes to get a worthwhile photo printer.
I guess that's true. The problem is that anything I've ever sent out for printing has come back WAY darker than the image as I've processed it. I'm not sure if that is because of the issues that ValleyFan and I were discussing with color gamuts and such, and I haven't tried printing from image files exported under sRGB. Experimenting to get the prints to look like they should could cost major dough and time. Having my own printer here on my desk would at least save me the time factor.
There's got to be a point of diminishing returns with store-made prints after which it makes sense to own your own printer.

I'm getting rid of my old Nikkor 70-300 f4-5.6 G lens. This lens is the low-end lens that Nikon produces, but it would be a good starter in terms of high-powered telephotos.
Any LGK user who's got Nikon gear could make me a fair offer for this slightly-used lens and they'd get it at a steal. Lens is complete, with original box and documentation, along with a Promaster UV filter. Not trying to make money, just trying to get it the hell off my desk.

I agree with that if you're talking about mostly 5x7s, with the occasional 8x10. But with frequent 11x14s, I have to think it would cost more via paper and ink purchases. (Of course, the cost of the printer.)
EDIT: Lightroom's web gallery is wholly inadequate. I am unable to create sets/groups/compilations. Also, you can't individually caption each image. I'm DLing Gallery right now and I'm going to give that a go.

Very nice images, Glenn! The observatory is such a great subject.
And was that shot of the little one and the merry-go-round at Valencia Town Center?

Nice Site, Glenn!

And by the way, you mentioned a while back that you wanted to get the 18-200 VR lens. As a person who has used it for more than a year now I have to say it is versatile but not perfect. You won't find it to be as sharp as your 28-200. You will also get noticeable chromatic aberration at 18mm. I would still buy it again just because when you can only throw one lens in the bag, it's the best choice.

I have to say, it at least looks good even if it currently falls short of your needs. Gallery is cool, it's biggest drawback (if you can call it that) is that it is open source, and there are about a billion different little ways to customize it, so getting it exactly the way you want it can take some time (there is a LOT of "oh, that is cool, not what I was looking for, but cool"). I would keep the lightroom gallery up, and make a new directory where you can play with Gallery for a while. Give it a few days to work out the kinks.
