Good choice.
Finally entered full frame members club.
What did you have previously?

D7000 and various lenses as my main kit but also have a few m4/3 bits knocking around although I just cant bond with the m4/3's gear at all for some reason so I'm going to sell the lot minus a GX1 and 20mm which will stay in my glovebox!
I could never justify the cost of full frame before as I'm nothing but a hobbyist however picked this up with 4284 actuations and 3 batteries for £550, I already the 50mm and will just swap out some of the APSc lenses for some FF equivalents over the next couple of weeks.

Nice one. Get some pics up
Lenses more expensive though?
It's all relative, I dont need the mega ultra sharp wide open lenses so the middle of the road primes suit me fine and the D700 is only 12 megapixel so no worries about the camera out resolving the lenses.
Bought the 50mm for £100, got a Sigma 17-35 f2.8-4 (£150) and a 28mm f1.8 (£179) on the way and already have a Nikon 85mm f1.8 so I'm pretty set now. The sale of my D7000 and associated lenses will make it pretty cost neutral and I've only really lost money on the body.

Cheap UWA for the D700
Treated myself to Sigma DP3 Merrill. Next up DP2 Merrill or Quattro.
Nice. I keep getting tempted to replace my GX1 and 14mm with the DP1 Merrill.

I think the clue is in the name! Clearly it tracks skies 
Shame there's only one sky...
