I happened to get a R screen with a Nikon F3. It seems to work fine with lenses faster than 3.5. Anyone else used it with faster lenses that it's intended for?

Being a longtime Leica M6 user, batteries don't enter into my mind as a major issue!

 

It could well be that there were no working batteries in the D80 and D200. I was impressed with the D40 screen, in any case. If the other two screens are even better with batteries, that would be great.

 

I've never had a digital camera and want to see what they're all about. My first thought was to get a D200, but I fear that may be way more than I want/need.

 

I imagine using whatever digital I decide on with just one prime lens to start, possibly a 35mm AF F2 or 50mm AF 1.8. Of course, if I get the D40, it will come with the 18-55 Zoom.

 

What I'm hoping for are some thoughts regarding using no-motor AF lenses on the D40 although they have to be focused manually. Everything I read suggests this is a major 'flaw' with the D40. Is it really? What are the issues of manually focusing a lens on a DSLR?

Today, I looked at a Nikon D40, a D80 and a D200. I was struck by the brighter

focus screen of the D40 compared to the other two. Based on that, it seems the

issue of the D40 not being able to auto focus any AF lens that don't have

internal focus motors isn't that big of a deal. It was very easy to focus

manually. Am I missing something? Admittedly, I've never used an AF camera so

that isn't a feature I'm used to.

I love William's image.

I'm thinking of getting a Nikon D200. Does anyone have thoughts about using

the D200 with a Nikkor 35mm AF-D lens? Is it a good lens for digital? With

35mm film cameras, I like using a 50mm lens.

Dennis,

I'm not sure, but I've read reports that claim the 0.85 is better than 0.72 with a Noctilux. I've only used my Noctilux with a 0.85 M6. I never have a problem getting good focus with my 0.85/Noctilux, even close-up.

Dennis,

I think your second portrait is especially beautiful!

Thanks, Luis!

A seller's ad on eBay claims the Nikon DK-19 and DK-2 eyecups are identical?

Can anyone confirm this? Will the DK-19 eyecup work on my Nikon F3HP?

I recently got a black late version Hasselblad A12 back from KEH rated Ugly for $45.00. Other than a dent on its shell, it looks new. I've been pleased with many other items from KEH rated Bargain.

Steve Huff's first photo is surreal. I love it!

Nice!<div></div>

Is this the glow?<div></div>

It's not a very good scan, but her eyes in the original print are in focus. In any case, if it disturbs you, well, it just does! Trust your feelings....<div></div>
