keith_van_hulle1 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Quartz Date. It's got a back on it that imprints things like date and/or time on the picture as it's taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate_merz1 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Quartz Date I think. Really the only thing it does is imprint the date on the photo. I would avoid this for any kind of serious work. Only get it if you will be taking photos of your family outing or family gatherings. It is a great way to remember when you took the photo.

nate_merz1 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 o yeah i forgot to tell you, some qd backs have added benefits. Anyway if you are going to get the n80. Get the f80s instead. It has to be imported, but instead of printing the date on the photo it prints it in between the sprokets of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_kennedy Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 The QD is good for things like documentation. I use mine for shooting birds. Not for actual nature photos, but just for IDing them. The date helps there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
