[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 559193, member: 13556"] I got to handle a Nikon with the roll film back a long time ago, and while I'm sure its heft made an impression, it was how unwieldy the rig was that made the biggest impression. That rig had its place on a tripod in the portrait studio, for it certainly wasn't a walk around camera! It likely had either a 105 f 1.8 or a 200 f2 on the front of it, but I'm not sure which. I did not realize the difference in the finders and hadn't thought about it, either. I'm going to have to look into it more. I do know that there are a lot of old film cameras that I would have loved to own 35-40 years ago being sold today. I'd love to get your take on which one(s) to really be interested in. WM [/QUOTE]
