[QUOTE="Thumper_6119, post: 364034, member: 14611"] I was taking a few photography classes in college back in'89, and I had a Nikon N4004s (that I still have, and it still works great). A guy in my B&W I class had an F4s with a databack, and he let me mess around with it a bit on a couple of occassions. Apples and oranges comparison to my N4004s. Focus was fast and very quiet. Mirror and shutter action was so cool. Frame advance was fast and smooth. Amazing camera. I had always wanted one, but couldn't justify the cost at that time vs my ability and income (part-time job, beginning hobbyist, and my N4004s was just fine, actually more than I needed). But it was always a treat when that guy would let me put a roll or two through his F4s. It was just [i]fun[/i] to use. I still have a romantic attachment to darkroom/wetlab processing. I used to have a blast processing film and prints. I used to get off of work and head up to the college photo labs, and I would stay up there all night, along with a few other students, processing film and prints. I never turned out anything fantastic (because I never shot anything fantastic), but it was fun pursuing it and going through the whole process, especially with others who were doing the same thing. Good times, good times.... [/QUOTE]
