[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 28150, member: 6548"] I was very very fortunate today in that we had a great family get together to celebrate the patriarch's 91st birthday and I got to throw an old Nikkor 28 lens on a D300S and make a few shots! I also got to have a good look at the Nikkor 28-300... Very impressive...I can't wait to get the pics! :) I found the body ergonomics to be pretty darn good I think I could hold onto that camera better than I could hold onto my F2...with the old AI prime on manual mode it started spitting out decent pics (as far as I could tell via the LCD display) no sweat....easy to focus IMO despite the wide FL...No pre AI stuff allowed though apparently! I shot with the FE + flash today so it will be interesting to juxtapose the digital and the electric shutter film... I'll try and get some photos thrown up in the next few days... You folks that have D300S bodies have a pretty darn nice camera!!! [/QUOTE]
