I do not want to hipe this thread with old cameras, after all this is about photos and not about equpiment these photos were made with.

 

But for my photography backgorund sake, I want to mantion some of the old junk I own. I am mostly a Nikon guy probably just for one reason - intechangability of lenses. At first I could not afford new digital stuff that would satisfy my needs, so I purchased old Nikon FG (I own 2 of them now :) ), than F90s and F80 (needed autofocus for hunting pets and things that move fast), and finally FE body to be able to use non-AI lenses. And for medium format I have Yashica Mat. Also looking for a good deal on Hasselblad 500 series, and that will probably end my hunger for film bodies, asside of large format photography which pulls for expensive development facilities and so on...

 

I just love tha feeling of precise mechanics on these old manual focus lenses, and the weight of the heavy metal telephoto. It just ballanses wonderfuly in hands.

There is nothing like a soft feeleing of focusing the internally focused Nikkor:

you've stolen my idea for a Coffee table book.

 

I wanted to do a large format photo book on "Road Kill" using a large format 8x10+ view camera.
