I jealous......that is a nice shooting iron. I miss my old Nikon (stolen from my house) that I've thought about getting another.

Actually that is a FTn.

My FTn.

It's a mighty fine camera. I got this body for $20 as a parts body (not kidding) and it worked almost perfectly when I got it. Exercised the shutter, but a little gun oil in the mechanism, and bam it fires a perfect 1 second. I missed my old one too much, so I had to get another and couldn't pass this deal up.

Nice to see that is getting some use.

Nice, but you should have gone for the much rarer FTW!

FTW?

A slang way of saying, "F*** the World".

Count me as another fan of the "F". Mine's a Photomic, and still working like new. What a tank!

Soft spot in my heart for the Nikon F. What a camera in its day. I shot a Muhammed Ali title fight in Madison Square Garden with mine and an international wire service nominated me for a Pullet Surprise for one of the shots. I dropped it in 1974 (with the electric motor drive and the battery pack they are heavy birds). I should get it fixed one of these days.
