I guess I'm an "old guy", ha ha. My first Nikon was an S2 I purchased in Japan in 1955, courtesy of the U.S. Navy. I had 4 extra lenses as well but later sold it to get cash to buy my first car, wish I still had it. I shot 8 mm for a number of years with a Bolex P1, great movie camera but when my first
son was born in 1970 I wanted another 35mm SLR for photo's. I purchased
a new FTn
with the 85mm f1.8 lens, and later added several more, all Ai's or Ai's.
I used that camera until my son graduated from high school and I gave it all to him and purchased a new Nikon F3. I have 16 of the old manual lenses
as I picked them up inexpensively over the years and when film cameras
became white elephants I got into a new D300 which I still have and love.
All my old manual lenses work perfectly with it and I use them often but I have the 18 to 200 mm auto that I purchased with the D300. I still have
the Bolex 8mm and the FTn and the F3, all in excellent operating condition
and if anybody is interested in any of those items let me know. I got "wordy"
I'll sign off for now.
