Re: Nikon lust
Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 1:17 pmI watch the Antiques Roadshow and saw his collection awhile back. Amazing, to say the least.
Re: Nikon lust
Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 1:37 pmThis guy has a Nikon museum in Rotterdam which apparently, is just amazing. What he doesn't know about Nikon cameras doesn't exist.

Simply amazing - how did he afford collecting all that? I love the fact that the Nikon F they played with was actually "bullet-proof!"

We don't collect old junk. We just don't throw something good away just because it isn't in daily use anymore.
Re: Nikon lust
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 6:56 pmAaahhh...my long gone Nikon F....nothing sounded as good as the shutter on a Nikon F!

I agree - the sound is very reassuring, as is the body construction and feel of the whole package. Now, if only I can find a reasonably priced waist level finder for mine! Or even a non-metered prism.
