My first leap into digital was a Coolpix 8800. Within two months I became
so
aggravated by its limitations that I went back to my old, battered F3.
Then
came the D200, which works well with my old lenses. I doubt I will ever
look
back. The F3 is back in retirement, together with the Nikkormat, FE, FM,
Rollie, Mini Rollie & Bronica, All, except the Bronica are battered and
well used, with the mechanics and lenses first class working condition. I
am
one of those people who believes mollycoddling is for babies and dogs, not
cameras.
