Yes it is Steve. One day I will be down there. Although this morning it was -8* here. Not real conducive for boating. She is tucked away in a heated warehouse till May 2nd. Launch day .

Thanks guys...I've had my D800 for a couple of years and had to wait on the lenses to go with it.
Don....Chicago and Lake Michigan are great places. I have some great pics of my oldest daughter on the beach along Lakeshore Dr. over 30 years ago.

Picked up the two lenses this morning. Here's what I think. The 24-70 f2.8 is a dream. It's fast, sharp, just the right size and just the right focal length range. I can't recommend this one enough. If you don't have it, pick it up before the sale is over.
The 70-200mm is just as fast and sharp, but weighs a ton. It's a lot heavier than my 28-300mm. It's going to see a lot of tripod use and I may pick up a monopod. It's going to take some getting used to. I will handhold it, but my technique will have to improve. I do, however, hope to use this lens for portraits.
These will be great lenses with the D800.

I dodged the G.A.S. bullet today at Costco.Really liked the way the new Canon G7X felt in my hands. I also picked up a Nikon D5500 and liked how it fit in my hands. I have a perfectly good camera and lenses at home and it hit me...I got G.A.S. I convinced myself to walk away. this time.

G.A.S. also afflicts computer nerds. THEY Need the fastest processor, fAstest video card, largest memory , biggest hard drive.
Also sail boaters, we need the latest sail technology, the lightest rigging, the fastest hulls, new 4 speed electric winch,
Trust me, GAS for a photographer is CHEAp when compared to a sailboater.
