[QUOTE="SamSpade1941, post: 81062, member: 10336"] It came attached to this... A Nikon FA with a MD15 Technodrive attached to it. After checking everything out it all appears to work out. I actually was buying the Nikkor 85mm Nikkor AI S lens and not the camera in case you are wondering, a lot of times in the past when I have bought lenses people ended up giving me camera bodies or vice versa. In this case I am not willing to say what I paid but I assure you I did not even pay what the lens is worth on eBay. The 85mm is one of my favorite lenses and is an awesome portrait lens Its going to get a lot of use on my D40 and N70, I may or may not use the FA , I have not really made my mind up on that yet though it works well enough from what I can see. For those who have not googled or do not know already the FA was where matrix metering was actually introduced, IIRC it was advertised as Nikon's most advanced manual focus 35mm camera.
