I've just been using my Micro-Nikkor 55/2.8 on my Nikkormat EL today, my Micro-Nikkor 60/2.8 AF-S G ED usually lives on my F100. Mine is a 509xxx and still working perfectly.

I shoot film with a very occasional foray into digital. I bought a D300 just so that I could use my Ai and Ai-S lenses with it. I've had a D50 for years but have barely used it. I tried Sony, Micro 4/3, a Samsung NX 11 and still have two Canon DSLRs (for now). The D300 tempted me back, it made sense as I'm starting to build a system of lenses.

I have over 150 film SLRs, 20 of those being Nikons and Nikkormats. I've collected these over the last four years and have seen the prices of film cameras rise steadily since I started.

Lots of cameras could be found for very little money then, £30 for my F3 and F90x with lenses, £13 for my FG, £17 for my FM with lens. I still find the occasional bargain though. I bought a Nikon 135mm f3.5 Pre-Ai (Type K) lens for £3.99 last week.

I mainly use the same primes, the 50/1.4, Micro-Nikkor 55/2.8, 85/2, 105/2.5 Ai-S and 50/2, Micro-Nikkor 55/2.8 and 135/3.5 Pre-Ai. I also have quite a few Tamron SP lenses including the 90/2.5 52B and the 500/8 55BB.

One day I guess I should take a family photo, of the Nikon family that is, not mine. Mine would never pose.

Is this the early FM with the knurled grip around the shutter button? The switch around the button is to enable use of the motor drive.

I have two Nikkormats. I have an EL and an FTn. I prefer the EL because the batteries are readily available (PX28). Finding the battery compartment took a while though.

It also offers aperture priority as well as manual with stepless metering similar to the FE. It came with the AR-1 which would normally cost me more than the camera did. Which was £15 for the body. The FTn was about £30 with the Nikon 50mm f2 lens.

Film is alive and well. Kodak have brought out a new slide film, Ektachrome. New films come out quite regularly from different brands.

I own more than 150 film cameras 20 of those are Nikon. I've paid less for cameras than I have for film. I shoot more film than I do digital. I think makes you think more about each shot because of the cost per shot.

I have the F801 and F801s which I believe is the equivalent of the n8008. I use the F80 more than that or the F90x. More than these I would use my FM2n or FE.

I also have a Nikkormat FTn but use my EL more because of the readily available PX28 battery. What battery does the FT2 use?

I mainly shoot film. A quick(ish) check tells me I have 20 film Nikon SLRs along with a D50 and a D300.

The D300 was a recent addition as I wanted a camera I could use my MF lenses with. I mainly use my FM2n, though I recently picked up a 135mm f3.5 Pre-Ai (type K) for £3.99 and have been using my Nikkormat EL.

I started about 38 years ago when I was in my teens and got back into film in 2014 when you could buy it for £1 and get it developed and scanned for £3.

Then I found cameras on eBay for 99p and in charity shops for £5. My FM cost £17, my F3 and F90 cost £30 for the pair, all with lenses. Now I have 150+ cameras.

Lens wise my 50/1.4, 55/2.8, 85/2, 105/2.5 and 35-105/3.5-4.5 are my main lenses. I only have the 50/2 and the 135/3.5 for the Nikkormat. I only have two Pre-Ai bodies, the other is a Nikkormat FTn.

Maybe when I get time I should take a family photo and upload it.
