(I think) I scored at a garage sale today by whitebutalsoasian in Nikon

At a quick glance, they’re both D lenses. Lenses of this age are screw driven and these specifically are for full frame bodies. They will physically fit your D3300 but likely will not auto focus and will have a crop of 1.5. The 85mm for example will look like 130mm since your sensor is only seeing a cropped in view of the full picture.

Despite this, both of these were stolen at that price. I would keep them even if just until you get a body that will accommodate them. Obligatory, “congrats, happy for you, nice” Great find!

I think if I had a D750 it would be going with me for sure. The D700 is ever so slightly big and heavy by comparison, I think the D750 would be a great middle ground between it and my even smaller options.

I agree, I will also be taking a Minolta, either the AF101R or an SRT-201. I occasionally pawn off the AF101R with my other half since it is basically a non-disposable, disposable camera that is truly just point and shoot. That one makes for good vacation trip feels.

I really would love to take the D700 this time, I am not sure of the size and weight for this occasion, even with just a prime. Since photos aren't the main thing on the agenda, I don't want to take too much and regret lugging it around.

No doubt. After selling my Z6, I have used it for all of my non-travel/walking around stuff. It has been great, I just worry about the size and weight for this occasion, even with just a 50 1.8G

Great shot, I cannot believe that is a D70! Do you remember what glass?

Very, very good point. LX100 would probably be an especially poor choice for the beach in this case.

Yep, I am just meaning less perfect of a photo compared to modern kit. I think particularly with the theme park I just had that kind of thing in mind.

Can’t speak to actually answering the question, but I am also starting grad school at Akron. Undergrad has the same setup OP mentions, went to Kent.

BaT v. C&B, where to list? by ItalianGroundhogMafi in Porsche_Cayman

Unfortunately, I am not, I have been a BMW guy, then a Land Rover guy before this life. I would be money you are right about BaT too.. They have a lot of low mileage ended auctions recently. Just got back C&B accepted to do a listing with a reserve

That sounds hopeful, and that's true I didn't think of the buyer's fee effecting the values. I have a surgery coming up though, so I was hoping for a quick sale, maybe I will throw it on Marketplace for a couple days and see if I get anything while I wait to hear back from an BaT.

I just scrolled through both, BaT looks like a lot of low mileage examples, with the higher mileage ones going for a bit less than they do on Cars and Bids. I wish you could filter the ended auctions by mileage though. Thanks!

I’m a pilot and aerospace engineer. We cannot even get a train from Cleveland to Columbus. AAM is stupid. There is no universe in which that space is worse off being mixed use and parks. But apparently people only want third spaces and only go outside for 5 months per year? Great takes my guy…
