Of course I’m messing with you but what I’m getting at is the problem is your fault for letting the line sink to the bottom, not the manufacturer’s…
I think that for your purposes you’d be served better by the 10-22 f3.5-4.5, assuming you already have a kit lens of some sort with a slightly higher range too.
Mark- As you start to mess with this (especially if you want to make some prints) realize that as you get into those high f-stops the image quality is going to degrade. I’d guess the sweet spot on that lens at the wide end is going to be about f/8; I’d probably keep it there maybe going down as far as f/16 if there was something much closer in the foreground I wanted to include as well.
I’d probably start by coming back when there’s less light in the sky but if you can’t wait there’s two things you can do to get the shutter speeds you need w/ out stopping the lens down so much. There’s neutral density filters, and like Zach says your polarizer functions as roughly a two stop ND filter along w/ cutting glare. Also you can take multiple exposures and layer them in photoshop; kind of like HDR except you don’t bracket the exposures.
With Nikon… blank warranty card or not you still need to enclose a receipt showing you purchased it from an authorized Nikon dealer when you send it in or the warranty you mailed off is considered void. Some ebayers selling cameras w/ warranty cards are authorized dealers and others aren’t.
The video feature on the stock d90 set up is supposed to be pretty useless. There are no auto focusing features in the video mode and manually pulling the focus will be a pain in the ass if not impossible with that set up.
In the video Mike posted they also used one of these: http://www.redrockmicro.com/redrock_dslr.html … which will cost you another $2,500.
