Nikon F2 with a Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 on Ilford Pan F50. Epson V700. Same kit all 3 images. This large model was pretty good. Had the engine noise and creaked and groaned when moving. Heads of the 2 in the turret looked around, keeping lookout.
This was at a steam steam rally event. The engine here was powering a large log saw and some Karen downwind complained about the smoke around her caravan. They moved and replaced it with a vintage tractor. Hope she enjoyed the exhaust fumes.

Hello
I purchased a couple of "new" cameras one a Nikomat FTn with the 50mm 1.4 for 10.00 which appears in very good condition, I installed a new old Varta 625 1.35v battery and the meter was way off so I tried an epx625 1.5 akaline and the meter seems to be on, does it sound like it was redone for the 1.5v battery?
The second one is a black body Nikon F, and a 50mm 1.4 and a 28mm 2, with an FTN finder, is there a known issue with these as the one on the camera does not function, I have installed the two Varta 625 1.35v batteries and get nothing, is there a place to get repaired if necc. Another thought could I be doing something wrong, I know how to turn the meter on, does it take a certain lens, the ones I have seem to couple with the pin.
Thanks
Don
If you really want the FTN meter repaired Kanto Camera (Japan) can do it. rodeo joe makes a good point, but only you know if it's worth it.

Remarkably similar in size. I consider my F3HP downright elegant compared to most full size dSLRs. I use the "loud" straps with my dSLRs and a thin leather braid with the film cameras.
The fairly even height is deceptive, the D3 is much bulkier.

I think I'm starting to lose it during the UK lockdown. Now in my 60's I have just purchased my first DSLR camera. A Nikon D3s with an insanely low shutter count of 10600. Camera came with the box, manual, charger + 2 batteries and, a loud Nikon strap which I will never use. Camera also has a 6month warranty. The camera functions as it should and I could get spoilt jumping the iso around as required. This all came about just after Sover Wong returned the my F2 which, now behaves like it was brand new. How much use any camera I own will get is debatable after this years events. Picture below is the new kid on the block with my still much loved F5 Taken with a horrible Sony pocket camera.

Being off work for the nonce I've been busy out walking the neighbourhood, keeping way from my fellow humans and exercising legs and cameras. First off a few shot with Leicaflex SL-2/50 f2 Summicron/HP5
You've seen this car before, but it keeps changing.
That junk car looks like a Morris or Austin 1100, a long way from home.

Carefully through the swing bridge. Nikon F5, Nikkor AFS 50mmm f/1.4g, Ilford Pan F, Epson V700 scan.
Ford Zodiac, straight 6 engine, 3 speed column shift and useless vacuum operated wipers. The good old days.

I have an old Billingham 550, 25 years plus? The velcro is at a slightly different height but the newer inserts can just about grab onto it and hold. This bag has some miles on it and it seems to be OK. To achieve perfect alignment you would have to sew in new velcro either on the insert or the bag I've never heard of a aftermarket supplier offering inserts to fit the older bags. By the way, Billingham are/were having a black friday sale on their website now might be the time to stock up.

The cigarette is crucial for balance.

This seemed to be more of a social than actual riding at least while I was there.
