Nikon FM2

My old reliable. this is why I’ve stayed with Nikon. I just know that someday all the batteries in the world will be dead. Since I’ve still got a couple dozen rolls of film in the freezer, I’ll still be able to take photos and you wont. na-na-na-na-na!

I find that even with all the new gear I take my best pictures with the focus set to manual. I blame that on this camera. For 20 years all I ever used was this (and a Ricoh KR-5 that burned up in a fire), so I feel more invested in a photo if I’m expending the effort to focus and compose instead of just shooting away.

The photos in this page were taken with a D70s and a Micro-Nikkor 55mm AI lens, Basic quality, and Medium size (3.3 Mpixels). Click on a picture to see the approx 1 Mpixel size that I uploaded.
