Most of it is listed there, minus the SB-600, SB-700 and the new walk around 24-70mm Sigma lens.

Well the money that we would have spent on glass can now go towards our little baby girl Reeses...I would really like to grow our family with another yorkie to spoil, so hopefully that wish can comes true!

I love the photo of the baby that you took. It's beautiful, and so is the baby. I use the Nikon D300, and have deliberated whether I will return to FX format in the future. I have no immediate plans of getting another camera, but the only reason why I'd like to decide somewhat is because of lenses. The only DX lens I own is the original Nikon 18-200, but my other lenses other than the 50 1.4G are ones I used when I used film Nikons. I like the depth of field of an FX camera better, and my lenses are more optimized for FX. If I knew I knew I was going to stay in DX format, I'd buy the 35 1.8G. The new 35 1.4 is beautiful, but too expensive for me for my need. I've considered the Nikon 24-70 2.8, but I worry about the size and weight for when I'm carrying the camera around with me all day and other lenses, too. I'd just get the 17-55 2.8 if I was sure I'd stay DX, but I have a feeling sometime in the future I might go FX. I use the 35-70 2.8 a lot, but it's not good with flare. I'm sure you are happy with your decision to go FX based upon your lens collection, but I'm curious if you generally recommend it. I only went digital less than 3 years ago. I was waiting for a replacement for the F100 when I finally got the D300. The D700 is the true replacement, but at this point in time, I don't need another camera. I'd just like to know where I'm headed because of the lenses.
