Randy.....how much for the basic D-100.......no lenses or external flashes
or anything???  Will it accept my Nikon 105mm like a 35mm camera and my
Nikon SB28 speedlight and the other Nikon lens I have???????  I guess what I
mean is do they sell just the body with NO accessories......that would help
I guess!!!!  It's getting crazy what we will do to take photos of our
apistos...................
