Compared to my 35 years with Canon, it has been a short ride. After our first two sessions at Desoto, I am about 90% sure that I will be switching completely to SONY &#8230; Or not. Time will tell.  If and when I do make the change I will, of course, share my reasons with you here. <\/p>\n<h3>My Nikon Gear &#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>From top to bottom and left to right: My larger Think Tank roller; Nikon 600mm f\/4 VR, Gripped D850 and my favorite Nikon lens, the 500mm PF, Nikon 70-200mm f\/4 VR lens, a D850 with the Nikon 24-120 VR lens, and the killer Sigma APO 150mm f\/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro lens for Nikon F.
