Day 174 of 365



Day 174 of 365, originally uploaded by Andy*Matthews.

Sold a few bits and bobs on eBay this month so treated myself to a new (to me) Nikon F801 SLR. Film! Going to use this with the 28mm and 50mm prime lenses I have. A complete bargain at £20 plus P+P on eBay. I also managed to find 16 Fuji Superia films from ISO 200 – 1600 for £4.50! Gonna be fun playing around with this!

First impressions are that the view finder is enormous and clear compared to the D70. Very bright too. Autofocus is noisy but quick and the thing weighs a ton! Very solid bit of kit. Looking forward to getting a few rolls of film through this.

Caught myself taking a shot then looking at the back of the body for the histogram! Idiot. Got far too used to digital.

The results to appear here soon.
