Thats a KEEPER!
You haven't lost the touch.

Now to convince the wife I need one of those cameras.

Is that a Hutech modified one or right out of the box?

Thanks! I had a ball last night, even with the mild temps
in the low 30's :^)

The D200 is unmodified. I'm also going to use it for macro
work with a Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
