I've heard about it and there has always been an adapter that had
electrical
contacts that did "Focus Confirmation" but you couldn't control aperture
on
G lenses.

No, but I heard mention of it.  Do you have a link?

I was extremely content with the 1D Mk III's IQ performance when coupled
with Nikkors, but having a $4,100 camera that didn't have an AF lens
system
with decent IQ was a bit lame.  Fortunately the D3 came on the scene and
changed all that with a great AF system that allowed you to use those
fantastic Nikkors.  Plus, the IQ and feature richness of the D3 makes it
the
only choice for people that want the best in all categories.
