Well after getting the D700 and selling the D80 + 18-135, was I lacking a decent lens wider than 35mm. Yes, I've still got my sharp copy of the Sigma 10-20, which I can't seem to part with (just in case I one day get a cheep DX camera, also I can use it for artistic effect on FX). However I really wanted a wide prime. Anyway I bought my D700 from Yodobashi Camera and they give you points when you buy things. It the amount of points depends on the product, but with the D700 it was 10% of it's yen price. Each point you earn can be used as one yen's credit on later purchases. I found I had accumulated enough points to pay for 60% of a 24 f/2.8D, so one month after buying the D700 I went back and got the 24 f/2.8D. So that was a little bonus.
Note 21/09/2011: We're currently in typhoon lock down for "Typhoon Roke" at the moment with all the shutters closed, no sure how much of it going to hit us here, but the rain and wind are getting stronger at the moment.
