    Robb,

    My current lenses for my Nikon D700 are the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR and the Nikon 105mm f2.8 G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor. I use the Micro-Nikkor in the OR. One day soon I'd like to get a dedicated portrait lens. It will be either the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G or the Nikon AF S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G. For the time being, I set my zoom lens to ~85mm for portrait shots.

    The 58 1.4 is very nice.

    I also like nikon’s 85 1.4 and the very large 105 1.4 but they are pricey. For tools of working professionals, can’t be without them.

    My 105 mm 2.8 Micro is my working lens, Robb. I would like the Nikkor 85 mm 1.4 but it's very expensive, more expensive than my Micro Nikkor. The Nikkor 85 mm 1.8 is a reasonably-priced alternative.

    My D700 appears to be a very much sought after camera these days. I've had mine since it was first introduced.

    Couldn’t stop laughing at this avatar from another mod so I’ve also made it mine for the week. Hope it makes you all laugh as well.

    Robb I’m jealous! I enjoy the engine out process! So good to have the setup to do it at home. I have everything I need to do it now easily too. I just have to build the engine dolly will make the process even easier.

    Great stuff. Always so rewarding to get your hands dirty on your own car. Please keep the pics coming. I've done this on my 911's and look forward to twisting wrenches on the 355. For now I'll do it vicariously.

    Awesome stuff Robb! When ordering parts make sure they know it's a super early spec car (Daniel @ Ricambi knows all about these and the differences).
    It really isn't bad if you take your time and go through everything methodically. Good luck, anxious to see the progress pics!

    Might I suggest dry blast cleaning the whole engine compartment as well as the engine while you have it out, if you have someone locally to do it for you. The results are phenomenal...car will look like it rolled out of the factory!
