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!"

That would require Canons being collectible in the first place.

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.
