Zooks. You have an F and are gonna get an N2000? That camera is
a toy, and those lenses are seriously entry-level crud. You know,
though, Nikon has gone to pot. They are moving NPS from San Francisco
to LA, and will not be putting another pro camera out to replace the
F-3 ... the pro services they supply are all going towards still
video. ED-IF lenses will continue to be excelent, though ...
