Let's see ....

Balding, bearded guy in his 50s ... started with a Practica 35 years ago ... moved to Nikons ...

Thanx. Lovely stuff

I watch the Antiques Roadshow and saw his collection awhile back. Amazing, to say the least.

This guy has a Nikon museum in Rotterdam which apparently, is just amazing. What he doesn't know about Nikon cameras doesn't exist.

Thanks for the post.

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. :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

We don't collect old junk. We just don't throw something good away just because it isn't in daily use anymore.

That probably explains why I still have a 12 year old car when I also have a 2 year old car :) Both bought from new.

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.
