I'm in the habit of slinging my FE2 over my shoulder when I walk out the door, wherever I happen to be going (except to work). I usually carry it like a duffle bag; over one shoulder, under my arm. If I'm going to use the camera I pull the strap over my arm so it's around my neck to shoot (not...

I've only looked on eBay for lenses, unfortunately. It's too easy, and other sites are more obscure, or have smaller selection. Concerning the lower prices, I get skeptical. Saving $50 isn't worth it for a lens that is not in the best condition. I understand Thom's point about not babying...

I have a couple of photo vests. One is a Nikon vest, but on a photo outing this week, my daughter said I was overdoing it. I did look quite nerdy I guess, but as a Nikon/old school geek, I thought that was cool. My other vest is a Hummer, or HumVee, or whatever. I haven't worn it yet. It's an...

I went to Point Pelee with my daughter the other day for a day of shooting. I brought my FE2, and she brought her Rebel XSi. We had a beautiful day, and I'll get my pics back next Tuesday. Anyway, I had trouble with the focus ring. The method of focus I use is the semi-circles with the...

I've been wanting an SB-22 for my FE2 for a long time. I've been looking at them on eBay, and I saved a few to my saved list. The other day I was in a used camera equipment store, and he had an SB-20 there. I would have bought it, but the ISO markers fell off inside the unit. I knew I could get...

I just bought a new used 55/3.5 today, but I just looked it up on eBay, and I think it's an AI conversion. The retailer mentioned a 2.8 that came out later, but he said he still considered this one to be the best. He has one just like it that he said was not in as good a shape as this one. I...

I would love to get some Nikon videos to watch, but it's kind of difficult. The following VHS is for sale on eBay, but the seller wants $38 to ship it to Canada, plus the $10 for the tape. This would cost me about $70CDN. I've looked all over for video files of this video that I could...

My lens cloths arrived today. I ordered the free two pack, plus a five pack. This is what I got: Maybe Sugarman is generous and gave me 6 instead of 5 and the two pack will arrive separately.

I was driving down Highway #46 in Essex County today, and a large bird flew overhead. I pulled over to look at it, but it was flying south over farm fields where I couldn't follow. By the time I got out of the vehicle and stood on the shoulder of the road it was 1,000' feet away, so I couldn't...

It finally arrived from Japan! This lens is mint, like it came out of the factory yesterday. I'm happy with it. Now I need to get some film and then I can go out for a shoot.

The film speed dial on my FE2 stops at 12 properly, but only goes to the index past 800 (to the red: 800| |1600| |3200). I have tried (gently) many times to see if I was just not pulling up hard enough, or it was just sticking inside, but it is the same every time. Has anyone else seen this...

Okay, I thought this: was a result of entering data in settings, just as 'FE' appears in my sidebar because I entered it in Profile Settings. It seemed to me that this info about gear was not manually entered in the signature tool by members. As you can see in my posts, I did enter a quote by...

Here's what I see in my Profile Settings: Saving these entries is not enough for them to appear in my posts. There must be some box to check that I haven't seen.

I have two issues here: 1) I entered one lens into my profile, and my lens was listed, so I clicked it and it is entered on the appropriate line. Still, nothing appears at the bottom of my posts. So I was wondering if I had to check a box or something related to my signature, which I don't have...

Canuck257, when you have an incident like that again, what you need is FastStone Capture. It's a great program. You can use a freehand rectangle or circle to capture as much of a screen as you want. It's small on your HD, and causes no problems. FastStone also has a photo resizer and a photo...

I changed my username to Retro; although some would still say I'm a lunatic! Retro does suit me. Afterall, my only Nikon is an FE2.:)

I've just been browsing AI-S lenses for my FE2 - and I just ordered a f/1.4 in mint condition - and the 1.2 comes up a lot, as well as the 1.8. I figured the 1.4 was a good compromise between cost and quality. I'm sure the 1.2 is a better lens, but I don't want to spend $500 right now. Could...

My daughter bought this F65 at a yard sale for $20 a few years ago, and it came with a Nikon neck strap. She has chosen Canon as her camera, so I bought her a used XSi. I think my preference for Nikon is a major reason for her choice of Canon. So when I gave her the XSi yesterday, we took out...
