My beautiful F6 is for sell if anyone is interested. https://www.flickr.com/gp/75969628@N05/RBU961

An excellent Nikon F6. Nikon's most advanced SLR. The internally stored shooting data can be downloaded with and embedded into scanned jpgs with Meta35. Locate in Houston, TX, Please PM if interested. Thank you.

 

 

 

 

Some poor Instamatic 104 photos from April 1971. Recognize anything? Thank you.

Photoshop, crop, dodge and burn...

 

<p>Maxxum 7. I have used one for over a year and it's great. I use a Meta35, www.meta35.com, to keep up with the shooting data.</p>

<p>If you want AF then Nikon N90s/N90 with a MF-26 data back will do multiple exposures and will F100, F5, F6 and Canon 1V. These are all excellent cameras available quite inexpensively in my opinion.</p>

<p>Lovely image! I just finished a roll of Portra 160 on my F100. I have a N90, N90s, F100, F5 and F6 all with their own particular advantages. I love the F100. It fits my hand perfectly and is almost always in my car. I agree with C Watson that these AF SLRs are readily available and superb pieces of engineering. They all store downloadable shooting data and work with modern lenses. I think they are the true undiscovered treasures of a photography world dominated by digital. </p>

<p>I use both an F5 and an F6. Perhaps unnecessarily I tend to choose the F5 when I think the weather or trip is going to be rough. I take full advantage of and download the exposure data stored in these cameras. One thing to note is if you want the date and time of each frame you need an MF-28 Multi-Control Back for the F5. The data/time function is built into the F6 but you must remember to set the data recording level to "Detailed" to record the time. </p>

<p>Wonderful picture of the Akashi Castle cat. He appears concerned and slightly perturbed by something near your right foot! Good job!</p>

<p>A Canon ES-E1 Data Link replacement is available at www.meta35.com .</p>

<p>See meta35.com they have a replacement for the ES-E1 software and cable.</p>

<p>A long time has passed but if you are interested www.meta35.com sells the Meta35 kit that replaces the ES-E1 and software. All the web reviews are very positive.</p>

<p>Thank you all very much for your kind and thoughtful opinions. Looks like it's going to be the Canon 28mm f/2.8, IS USM. ;)</p>

<p>I want to buy a 28 mm prime lens (manual or AF) for 5D Mark III and EOS-1v and am considering these (price and DXO rating shown):<br>

Canon 28mm f/1.8, $449, DXO 20<br />Canon 28mm f/2.8, IS USM, $499, DXO 29 <br />Sigma 28mm f/1.8, $449, DXO 25<br />Zeiss 28mm f/2.0, $1083, DXO 25<br />Voigtlander 28mm, f/2.8 $529, DXO N/A<br>

Does anyone have strong positive or negative experiences with any of these? Thank you.</p>

<p>Agree with John S. and yes you need a cable to work with the software. </p>

<p>I am a fan of Canon 1V and Nikon F100, F5, F6. These all share the current Canon and Nikon glass and have first rate meters and autofocus. They are highly configurable with custom function and store shooting data for later download. That being said a fully mechanical Nikon F2 Titan is the most beautiful camera ever made. :)</p>

<p>Meta35 works with Win7 and OSX and does everything Photosecretary and the MC-33 does. www.meta35.com </p>

<p>www.meta35.com has released a device "Meta35" that replaces the ESE1 cable and software. It also works with Nikon and Minolta. It downloads shooting data, sets custom functions and sync meta data with scanned images. Very cool!</p>

<p>The new Meta35 device, www.meta35.com, works with Win and OS X that does everything ESE1 did but better. See meta35.com .</p>

 

<p>The Meta35 kit, www.meta35.com, allows download of stored data and custom function configuration of Nikon, Canon and Minolta film SLR cameras.</p>
