Here's one I did of a train station in the fall with the leaves starting to turn. You can see some differences in the leaves of the upper left of the image.

Gosh this thread makes me consider getting my old D700 converted...

If your D700 is in nice shape, you might be able to sell it and buy a used already converted camera for similar $.. Converted cameras have less resale value, but take the photos we want.

All of the grip material is falling off and it has over 200k shutter actuations, so it's not worth much. And I'd be worried the shutter would die right after I converted it...also I would probably feel limited by 12mp - or do you find the usable resolution improves with such a modification? Have you printed much from your D800? Honestly I would probably want to burn negatives of any excellent images to make silver prints from such a camera.

Most of what I have posted here is from my Nikon D70. It only has 6mp. The last image I posted is from my Nikon D2x. It has 12mp. I have printed 13x19 inch prints without any problems with the D70. The D2x does better while printing, but I still like the look of the D70 more.

Thanks Jon. I'll have to stick to full-frame so as to make use of the lenses I have (if I want to get ultrawide that is, without buying more lenses). But good to know wrt the pixel count.

Well, right now I can't afford it anyway, but perhaps next year .

Thanks! Your image of the bridge and pond is great, too!

I upgraded from a converted D100 to a D800 (a member here sold the converted D800 to me). I only print up to 13x19 with it. Converted cameras are slightly sharper as I think one of the sensor filters goes away. The major advantages to the use of the newer camera are: full frame so I can use wide angle lenses as they were intended, 2. more dynamic range that you don't get in vintage digital cameras, 3. Video recording.
