Whomever dies with the most toys wins...Rob, looks like you're the front-runner... I've only ever had one Nikon, a used F1 (IIRC) that fell off my telescope and died one cold morning when shooting comet West in '76! Ever since then I contented myself with a mere Pentax K, to avoid another financial shock if I broke it, too. Of course, that old K still functions perfectly, despite the brassing and dings. Got a new one about 20 years ago and the two of them are very happy togehter. At least they are worth more today than what I paid for them, as collector's items. --- Rob Ratkowski Photography <ratkwski@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:
Joe my oldest Nikon is the 1st one I bought It's a Nikon Ftn black body purchased in 1968, followed by 3 more 'F' bodies, then a pair of F2's, a Nikkormat and a FE.
