I bought my first Nikon F 35mm in 1970 and used it up until about 3 years ago when I bought my first digital. It was a little questionable at first until I bought my first DSLR camera and now I hold on to my film camera due to all the memories I have from earlier times. My Nikon F 35mm sets proudly on the shelf and my Nikon D80 and D90 do all the work, Jeff
