Would you mind providing a link ? I cannot find them.

Search S63 or S65 wheels on Ebay and you'll find lots of them.

Sometime I can't tell the difference between my 24mp and 13mp photos unless I zoom in like 400% and I am not shooting to print on billboards or anything where mp do come in to play.
I use that lens for portrait photos also, for the money nothing bets my nifty 50. You'd have to get a Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L. which cost 15 times as much to see any difference in quality. And pixel are a sale tool like GB where for pc at one time. I use a 7 year old 50D 15 mp and there is nothing it can't handle. Now I do take some crappy picture sometime, but that's not the camera fault.

Yup. My 50mm 1.4 is a wonderful lens. I can almost take pictures in the dark with that thing and it looks like I had lights on. I shoot with my 24-120 since I like to get that wide angle down at 24mm. I am about to buy a 12-24mm...they are 2k...but it's a beast of a lens and at 12mm that's ultra wide.

IMO, the pre-facelift mirrors look better and are more elegant and fitting for an S-class than the Jap car knock-off mirrors with the ugly peace sign turn signals.

Those pics from the Bahamas, are they edited or straight from the camera? I have a nikon D7000 and I'm thinking to upgrade to the D810 because I can't get bright pics like that. Also, what's a good editing program?

Some of them are edited....I just use Lightroom. I don't do a lot of editing as the pictures straight from the camera look excellent...I only really edit people shots. I was going to do the 810 but I got the 800 and for $3k, it's an excellent camera....the 810 is only $2800 right now.

Make sure you pair it with the right lenses and the shots will be freaking incredible. I havent tried the HDR on here yet but I have seen pictures and they look sick!

I took this of my pond in the backyard around 1am...no flash, just using my 1.4. Would have been crystal clear if changed the settings and used my tripod but this was at 1.4 and 1/125sec iso at 800. This lens is magic at night.

The dog pics were at a car meet last week and I just snapped as I had the opportunity.

My brother got a puppy a few months ago that looks exactly like yours. Spanish Alano that he had flown over from Spain. He told me that his and another one in his town were the only purebreds in the US. I guess I can now put that myth to rest if that's the breed you have.

I have the D7000 with a 50mm 1.8G, 18-300mm, and a 18-104. I also use the SB910 speedlight with it. I guess I don't know how to set the camera properly to take clear pics. Do you use auto?

No, I shoot in Aperture Priority or Manual only. That is a good speedlight. I shot these with a 24-120.

Get a full frame camera....you will never shoot crop sensor again!!
