Um, I bought a Canon FD 300mm f/4L... but don't actually own any FD mount bodies
That would be a lens I would like to have for my T90 kit.Um, I bought a Canon FD 300mm f/4L... but don't actually own any FD mount bodies
It doesn't end, does it? I just bought a Nikon F80 . Well, the price was right and I am sticking to this explanation. I wanted a F100 but not many come up at an attractive price, but it's a pro camera it why. Besides, I prefer dials to buttons and menus. Why are F80's so cheap? Are they really not nice cameras or something?

Lol no, It never ends. While I have the F100 and love it, the F80 is smaller and lighter. At the prices they are now it's almost criminal not to own one except for one thing. They will not meter with Nikon manual glass, that was the deal breaker for me. About half my Nikon lens are manual focus.It doesn't end, does it? I just bought a Nikon F80 .

In fact, this carried over to the otherwise very competent D90 - I think the whole "enthusiast" line was affected until quite recently ... That's why I was looking for a F100 for a while, but frankly, apart from potentially shooting G lenses, there's no true advantage of my trusty F-801s (yes, I know the F100 is the much better camera - but I'm talking about my usual way of shooting and possible advantages, or rather, the lack of ...). Nowadays, I prefer the FE line anyway - just enough automation to make shooting easy, but otherwise as classic as they come ... Anyway, have fun with a couple of very fine cameras indeed (F100 and its less ambitious siblings).Yep your good to go with auto focus lens but in true Nikon fashion they put a gotcha in a camera that would otherwise have been an instant buy for me.
