I like the second one (with the lens cap). Nice lighting, and an excellent angle. What's with all the rocks?

We can be a cult if we want. (I'll bet Canon users can't say that. I still have my F. We went all over Southeast Asia together, and both came back in one piece. Added and Ftn while in Hong Kong, but sadly it and many lenses were stolen. Replaced with two N90s, which sit in a drawer while I learn my D5000.

Ahhhh yes...my ol' baby was a Nikon FE. It was my first 35mm and I loved her for many, many years. (Oooops...am I dating myself here?) I took a 'baby step' into digital a few years ago with a Nikon P90. It was good for the learning curve but didn't get enough satisfaction. I recently took one 'giant leap' with a Nikon D3100. Can I join the Nikon 'club' with y'all? (Sorry, I'm not a 'cult' person.) <giggles>
you have joined the Nikon club...there is no escape now!

When I baught this beauty in 1970 I thought it would be my last 35mm SLR, I was almost correct...didn't know about DSLRs.

Go back and read the post affleckgray: "The rocks (actually mineral specimens from my collections) were introduced for thier color to help me get some sense of color shift with varying light sources and exposure settings. My fascination with the juxtaposition of rocks and a beautiful percision instrument may have taken over at this point."
Sheesh! Must be a 'guy thing'...just lookin' at pictures again. <Laf'n>

You people have it all wrong! Neither Nikon users or Canon users belong to a "cult". You are main stream like Catholics and Baptists. Even Fuji's don't belong to a cult. They're Episcopalian.
Sony. Now there's a cult. And it is growing. It is even sucking in followers of the Minolta. My old Minolta works just fine by the way.
I am waiting for the return of the 35mm camera. Kind of like the Book of Revelations.
Heck, my mom's Bible never had the Book of Revelations (she was Greek Orthodox). She also never owned a camera; never took a single picture in her life. Hmmm... Maybe I am on to something here.

Hey Robin thanks for your comments, I think the club we all want to be in is the 'learning to take better pictures and having fun club', no camera brand obsessions, no cults and definitely no kool-aid. I looked at some of your posts, you have been a charter member of this club way before I showed up. You do nice work.
