Dave,

I have also ordered the 24-70mm f/2.8G lens. I kind of hate doing this as I love my 17-55mm f/2.8, but I have to get some lens coverage in the 55mm to 70mm focal length with reasonable aperture. I have tried my wife's 18-135mm lens and the image quality is adequate, but the aperture is not.

I too am excited and I am hoping to get mine as soon as these are out in the states as I ordered with my NPS Number to speed things up. I also believe it id way too early to take the D3 plunge for the big bucks.

Tom
