I haven't taken any pictures in a while. Film just didnt fit well into todays world and I hated trying to use the small piont and shoot digital cameras. 

So I got tired of looking at all my Nikkors sitting there with nothing to do and decided to move up 25 years in technology . From a F2 photomic and a FM to a D-1. I know that a D1 is just a paper wgt to a pro but it is a big advancement for me .

WOW It is a lot more fun being able to see quickly what you have done.

The exposure is more  critical compared to film. But I am getting back into the swing. I   only use  Manual and apeture priority.

The D-1 is alot more usable with the older lenses and accessories  than Nikkon leads one to believe. The only thing I cant use is the cable release. I can even use my old lenes that have been  home converted to AI. Even my K extension rings and BR-4 apeture ring work fine.

If anyone is wondering what a mint condition D-1 in the box with charger and a good battery  is worth. It cost me  $137.50 shipped I couldnt be happier.
