[QUOTE="Alexander Marsden, post: 545471, member: 41898"] Hey good on you for delving into film cameras, I have had a couple and they took superb shots. I originally learnt photography on film cameras and learnt how to use a darkroom and develop and print film in black and white. Whilst digital cameras are extremely good and I have seen some exceptional shots I have also seen brilliant work on film cameras. From my work in video I find optical film and optical zoom to be superior but technology changes quickly and huge improvements continue. But I sometimes wonder if I had taken my shot on a film camera would it look better, so why not experiment and get the best of both worlds. From my research practically any Nikon lens will work on an F4 and you will get many brilliant shots but just how versatile some lens are will be is an issue. Also some lenses will need you to focus manually, a dieing art, but if you have a good eye and correct focus manually its possible to get better shots. I believe it also assists you to see the depth of field, just check your pictures once taken or use preview. I am working on developing my manual focus skills and an F4 should be ideal. In a nutshell technology continues to improve yet some still prefer film especially in medium and large format cameras. When I make my first $50 000 from selling images I might get 1 or 2. If you want to know exactly which lenses will work on the F4 and their limitations then go to the Nikon site. [/QUOTE]
