I already am discovering my photographic roots! The D3100 is the only roots I have! Lol ;)
But seriously I don't think I would want a classic looking camera that was mixed with new tech. The collector part of me would insist on getting the real thing, not a new production that looks like an old style Nikon. If I were to buy a film style camera Nikon I believe I would buy the F4 or f3 and enjoy the true experience of film photography.

But like I said, my roots aren't as deep as a lot of yours, and so the feelings might be quite different for you.

As a side note, I have been tempted to buy one film based Nikon, the F4. But I was afraid it would just end up on a shelf, and I can't afford to waste money on a camera or equipment that I wouldn't likely use much. And even knowing this I am still tempted, darn that NAS! Lol :D

I found the site OK, and as you suggested I did a search using the title and found an entry.

However, I wasn't able to find downloadable "book" like a PDF. Note the attached image of the catalog. Here's a link:

Were you able to find a PDF version of the book, because other titles on the site do include them? if you did it would be great if you post a link.

Thanks

The Kindle E-Reader is a free download from Amazon. KOBO is also a free e-reader that will read e-pub files.
I should have noted this in the original post. :black_eyed:
