Hey, wondering about your guys' opinion of the nikkor 45mm f/2.8P.

I have a nikkor 50mm/1.8 that is currently my workhorse on my fm2n.

Is it worth the money for the 45mm? maybe I've just been seduced by

the 45's develish good looks but I feel like I need one. Any

comments about this lens is well appreciated. (sorry if this has

already been discussed, but i couldn't find it on the search.)

Howdy,

I have a QL17 G-III that I love and the mercury batter that it

came with finally ran out. I'm looking for replacements. What do

you guys suggest. I've heard that I can just put a 1.5v duracell in

there. Is it that easy? How long do those last do you know? Wein

cells, zinc air, or cheat and get the actually mercury? Please

help, I wanna get this thing shooting again!

Hey,

Recently I bought a near mint Nikon FG with a Nikon 35mm Series E

lens for 10 bucks at a garage sale. The camera feels great, but I

can't figure out what some of the buttons are for. Like the place

where the pc socket is on my Fm2n, is a black botton that I have no

about. Also, right near the Shutter speed dial, there's a little

toggle switch with a wierd symbol under it, What's up with that? If

you know what these things are, or know where I can print out an

owners manual, or just want to comment on the Nikon FG, it will be

more than appreciated. Thanks!

With these cameras you can�t go wrong. Personally I would go with

the Nikon N80, just because of it�s professional reputation. Also, a

major factor it the fact that the Elan 7 ONLY TAKES CIRTAIN AF

LENSES. While the n80 can take practically any lens made after 1960.

That is pretty major to me because I�m a person who want to find

stuff I need for cheap on ebay. Either way these camera�s are good.

The Elan is a lot faster than the n80, but the n80 has a better

quality body. Also, look into the type of camera�s you want to

progress into. If you want to get an EOS 3 down the line, then go

with the 7. You need to pick a side. You�ll probably want a back up

body, and that is exactly what these bodies will become if you get

professionally serious about photography, and you don�t want to have

to buy different lenses for your back up body.
