Thanks, Rance Eric! But needs a black paint SP 2005 to round it off, wouldn't you say?  And I wish I were able to give it more use. The 28mm Nikkor is a recent acquisition that I need to try out as soon as I can.
All the best, John |

"Heft".... No doubt. I've got motors and batteries for both of my F2's. I've had the shutters replaced in both of them (and one of my F3's) after years of photographing auto racing.
I've also carried a pair of F4's and a pair of F5's before I finally gave that stuff up and concentrated more on slower moving targets. Stuff more suited to Leica M photography. |

These were my Great Uncle's cameras, when he died in '85, my parents received five cameras and some Nikkor lenses. There was one other F, a Nikkormat, and the lenses were 1980 or older, 24/2.8, 50/1.4, 135/3.5, 180/2.8, 200/4. They sold one F and the Nikkormat and lenses in the early 90's, probably before i came around in '92. So all that is left are the F's, FM and a 28/3.5. They all still work, and shoot with them occasionally.

Two early nikkormat FTn's, one with a 105mm 2.5 (sonnar design) and the other with a 50mm 2.0, but there's a 58mm 1.4 on the way

So many of these cameras look pristine. Does everyone swaddle their gear in blankets or keep them in ever-ready cases to keep them from getting marked up?
Some of my stuff looks like it has been through the wars.
