Well, guys, after taking delivery of another new Nikon D810 from B&H last week, I am now wanting to purchase another one !

My thinking is to have (3) Nikon D810's along with the D800E which I've had for nearly six months.. My reasoning is to have enough camera bodies so that I won't be needing to change lenses which could enable dust and other unwanted particles to enter into the camera body and, then, those particles come to rest upon it's sensor..

Other reasons for wanting (3) Nikon D810's with the D800E are so that I can mount my Sigma 180mm macro lens on the D800E, mount my Sigma 24-105mm on one of the D810's for everyday shots, mount my Nikon 16-35mm VRII on another D810 for wide angle needs, and to mount my Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 or my Nikon 200 f2 VRII on the final D810 for portraiture.. By doing it like this, there will never be a need to remove a lens which will guarantee that should any dust ever collect upon one of the sensors, it will had made entry due to air movement with one of the lenses having zoom capabilities..

Is there anyone else among our membership who would give consideration to doing the same as I will be doing ?

Thanks, Juice.. Even though I've been tested showing that I have an IQ of 142, I still cannot help myself with purchasing Nikon D810 bodies and Nikon lenses.

A serious case of NGAS! LOL It's cool if you got the cash. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy (one for each)! :-)

Damn, I have 13 lenses. I should get a better paying job lest I get dust on my sensor. :)

If you can afford it...sure.

Or you could hire a maid to dust ;-) if you're that concerned.

The main reason is for convenience ~ such as whenever an opportunity arises requiring a camera with the need for a particular lens. Notably, if there is a camera already available with a lens of choice already mounted upon it, all that I have to do is to pick it up and immediately get into action !

I thought maybe you would stop with that 200!! :thumbup:

Well, once that I am dead and gone, my four grandkids won't be fighting over who gets a camera ;-)

I am trying to figure out why you feel the need to post this when you will do what you want to do? Is it really for validation? At least you had a question in your post, "Is there anyone else among our membership who would give consideration to doing the same as I will be doing ?"

I have a couple questions for you. Do you really plan on carrying more than 2 cameras around at one time? Is you house so filled with dust that you can not change a lens without fear of a dreaded dust bunny depositing itself on your sensor?

I guess it has been a long day for me and I need to find a different way to spend my time this evening.
Cheers!

Do you carry them around in a pickup truck??

And once again I ask, can your write me into your will for the D800, after all, you wouldn't want one of your grandkids to get the sub-par camera.
