I was just in my garage looking for something, and my old Optex camera bag was on my workbench. I went through the pockets just to see what might be in there, and I found these old documents: I always thought I bought the zoom lens with the camera from my dad, but apparently not. I remember...

I'm enjoying my FE2, and I'm just curious to know if there is a digital equivalent. I think the answer is no, but then, I know very little about cameras compared to most users on here. If there is one, I'm afraid it might be the D3300, which is DX, so in my mind it wouldn't count. Because of...

The following photo appears to have been damaged by a light leak. I just wanted an expert opinion on it. It looks to me like it was caused by a leak in the cartridge itself, and not from my FE2, judging by the frequency of the marks. It looks like the damage was caused when the film was rolled...

I ordered my remote shutter release on Aug. 6. Since then it has made quite a trip around the eastern US, before arriving in Toronto (past me, btw): (Read from the bottom to the top) Departed 2015-08-13, 07:42:00, Toronto Departed 2015-08-13, 06:08:00, Toronto Arrived 2015-08-13, 04:48:00...

Life Without a Tripod/Lighting Challenge I took my wife out to Lighthouse Cove for a fish dinner today, for our 24th anniversary. It's on the south shore of Lake St. Clair. I don't care how far you have to travel, the view, the atmosphere, and the perch and pickerel are worth the trip. I took...

I submitted a roll that had been lying around the house for about 10 years. All of the exposures are pink, and I'm wondering if they can be improved. There are about 20 or so pictures that are important to us. Here is one of the favorites: (This is probably the wrong place for this, but I...

Here are my first two pics. I don't like either of them, because of the yellow tinge. I'm pretty sure somebody is going to tell me it's because I didn't use a flash, on the lowest setting I'm sure. I just got an SB-20, which I tested, and it seems to work great. It's in mint condition. I haven't...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
