That is a nice shot, but I guess the lens and eye did it not F4. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy


Agree, and maybe the meter helped a little, too. Wink
Another F4 fave:

(Although I would have cleaned the spots in it)

It's here and I got the diopter adjusted, will shoot a roll tomorrow:





Pictured is the Tammie SP 35-80 zoom and an adapter I got from Chris
(Seymore) that has the rabbit ears. Thanks, Chris!

I found out at NikonCafe how to tell when the F4 was manufactured (within 2 months).
Subtract 2100000 from the serial number and divide by 5000, the resulting number are
the months you add to Sept 1988 when the camera was first produced. Mine was made Feb-Mar '95.

Excellent! Is the F4s what you expected?...Weight & size...(I swear, the F4s has to be the widest 35mm camera I've ever seen.). The F4s sure has a solid feel to it, doesn't it? I LOVE my F4s!

My Koni Omegas were good practice, they still weigh more than this cam,
but this is certainly built for comfort. The shutter release is in the best
position (for me) than any of my other cameras! I'll be shooting it
tomorrow, can't wait to see some pix. It certainly feels pro all the way,
build quality is superb.

Here are a few from the first roll, Kodak Gold 200, not the best film for
indoor shots:






I have Fuji Pro 800z loaded this time around.

That "golden koi" seems floating in the air.

koi = carp in japanese
koi = love in japanese too
koi = come in japanese too (order in a strong sense)

Thanks, Koji-san, wasn't aware of that 3rd definition. Smile
