Ya know, Richard brings up another question on the matter, but just one I'm not familiar with: Given that I'm like most people and have limited funding, what would you guys say is the best way to artificially light a subject using close-up gear and an N80? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to buy an F5, but I should probably spend two grand and get me a healthy chunk of a better car instead! Someday, however...:-D Anyway, I really appreicate the feedback on these ideas, by the way.

Looking for a chip, eh? Guess jerry-rigging the thing won't be possible. I agree with you on reasearching the camera more. When I bought it, I was taking my first step into serious photography, unaware of how serious I was going to become. At that time, I'd never heard of a bellows or lock up or any of the other basic goodies in the camera world. Now that I'm movin' right along, I'll probably have to suck it up and acquire another body. Here'a another question for you...I've never heard of a used Nikon anywhere on earth! Do you know of a special place to watch for them? There is ebay, of course, but...anywhere else, too?

Hello, all!

 

I've got an N80 and I love the thing...except when it comes to this

fickle point: I also have the PB-6 Bellows extension, and to my

dismay, the camera's TTL meter won't function without a real lens on

the body! Aside from manually calculating exposure (which I've been

doing for quite some time now anyway), does anyone have any ideas on

how to trick this thing into thinking there's a lens when there's a

bellows instead?

 

I'm eager for your ideas!
