Of course to make things even stranger I was using it on a Canon FD body with Canon's Nikon-to-Canon adapter. It looked strange but it worked well. Good times...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I remember using his 35mm back in school, one of my teachers had one. Like Myung it was a luxury a student couldn't afford. He also fixed my Nikon MD-1 motor drive many moons ago.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
