What I Got Today!


Brac

Recommended Posts

Got myself an old Nikon F5 camera.

I wanted one for years, and finally a local photo shop had one that was sitting on the shelf for 15 years.

Has some mileage (86000 actuations).

Had it checked and cleaned by official Nikon service center. All is ok.

Hope to shoot a lot with it.

I agree.

This one was serviced by authorised Nikon service from day 1.

I lusted for one as soon as I layed my hands on one years ago. It is a pleasure only to hold it.

 

As far as functionality, my D750 meters and focuses better in the dark.

But F5 is not far behind. 

Since I love analog photography, this one will be a pleasure to use.

Being carefull with my choice of lenses, it might see a few trips with me.

I am used to howling a medium format, so this will not be a challenge as poeple are used to argue about it's weight.

Seriously just tired of the rainwater runoff carving its own way down the hill.

Pitching in for your next Phase. Looks about the right size from the limited info I saw in your pics.

Thanks for that. But around these parts we just use concrete, mortar and natural stone.

Stone has been here forever and will be when we're all long gone.

@Emile  Oh yea, the guy who's rebuilding his dock while sitting in a lawn chair smokin one of those big cigar's from Ybor City   I remember him now.  The guy with the good looking house keeper.  Haven't seen her yet but me thinks he's not sharing her w/me anymore, which is just sad.  😂
