Yeah, the whole thing ran nearly $3800, but I hope it's the last kit I have to obtain. Time will tell..

And the funny part is you bought a much better, more functional kit.

For the record, if there's anyone else out there looking to spend $3800.00 on a dSLR kit, please look hard at this set up instead:

Canon 40D
17-40/4 L
24-70/2.8L
70-200/4 L IS
580EX II Speedlite Flash

Redneck. This package is worth the same as what you spent on the D300 and 17-55 (I believe that's the lens you said you bought). This is +/- a few dollars compared to a D300 and SINGLE wide angle lens crazy crazy

Just make sure to keep all the packaging, there's still time to return it and get a very good "all around" kit laugh For that kind of coin, why limit to pure wide angle photography?

Let's talk about it laugh There may be hope for you yet laugh (that was my bit of sarcasm laugh )
