Howdy All, Newbie!

[401]

Hello all, I was just given a Nikon 401 QD from a relative that has just passed away. I have always had the pasion for photography but not the equipment or time. Well here's making a start.
Is anyone familar with such a camera as mine? It is fitted with the following lens;
Nikon AF Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8D
Is this a factory standard?
I wouldnt have a glue about camera speed or aperture selection........

Nice to meet you all

Welcome

I am afraid, with a 401 I would be a newbie myself

The 401 is a serviceable camera and will do well for stills (landscapes and portraits) and snaps. The real prize is the lens though, hang on to it.

Cheers Mike, much appreciated for your reply.
The lens is of quality I take it?

Welcome! there is a lot to learn here and this is the best place to start. you won`t understand much of anything else if you venture out in the other sections so stay here for a while till you get your feet wet. the language these guys talk is a different language...lol... and it takes some time getting used too...lol... these guys are MASTERS... and i`m just a little guppy in the big puddle but i`m learning. i really love this place i`ve learned a lot just reading what others have posted. play with your camera a lot and do lots of test shots. not stupid stuff but really try to learn when you shoot, have fun with it. I don`t know anything about your camera, i only know about my camera.. i`m a green horn too.
