[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 46088, member: 6548"] Thank you sir I will go download that soon as I only received the camera body charger and battery. Thanks Rick for mentioning it. I don't care how smart you think you are you really need a manual...I don't have one yet... More impressions...it is way lighter than my F2. So when using the sort of heavy metal 105 it is kind of unbalanced. On the other hand the "plasticky" Series E 50 is light, balances the camera well, and looks fantastic. I would really really REALLY love to have all of the Series E lenses and make a kit of it...which brings me to a little history via pictures...the following snap has an old EM in the middle...that was the first plastic Nikon camera ever made...they went full tilt on the EM and made a whole series of plastic lenses and a flash and a super cool plastic case for the EM. The targeted market was women but the system was a huge flop for Nikon likely due to the plastic construction. Most of the Series E lenses are excellent performers and despite being plastic are made in Japan and of high quality. They are the only lenses made in about the last 35 years or so that Nikon did not call Nikkors...they've never done it again since...which brings up the greatest thing about the following photo...I've said it before and I'll say it again...the greatest thing about your Nikon camera is the F mount bayonet... :) [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/runwhatyoubrung/cameras.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/runwhatyoubrung/F2-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/runwhatyoubrung/tide.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
