Portraits of Camera gear.

Thanks Erik

[Eddie Draaisma]

The windows on the F4 finder are for LCD illumination, WB measurement doesn't make that much sense on a film camera.

[Chip Chipowski]

Haha - thanks Eddie, that was a very half-baked thought on my part 

[Andy]

Andy that's pretty overwhelming with all of those D's 

Coincidence that all were around
Won't happen again .....

I'm more into lenses.

So which one did I break? 

[Erik Lund]

That's a lot of vintage there Chris 

[Jakov Minić]

Chris also known as silver nose
Lovely arsenal there.

As are other arsenals presented in this overwhelming thread 

[Jan Anne]

Those lenses looked amazing on a panda Df btw, as if that version of the Df was specifically designed for these classic duo tone lenses.

[chris dees]

So which one did I break? 

The Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-N Auto 1:2.8 f=24mm, but it's not in the images.

I have high hopes on Eric aka Dr. Lens he can fix it in Scotland.

The really look great on a panda Df.

[Andy]

These are really 14 beauties, Chris.
Enjoy every single image with them.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

I haven't actively collected any of the silver nose Nikkors although a few have accumulated over time. 2.1 cm f/4, 24/2.8 N, 28/3.5 H, 35/3.5 PC, 35/2.8 S, 5 cm f/2, various 5.5/55 Micro-Nikkors, 105/2.5, 105/4 T, 105/4 Bellows, 135/2.8 & f/3.5, 135/4 Bellows, 200/4 Q, 300/4.5 H; list compiled off memory as I'm not in the lens house currently.

No Panda Df for me, though. I prefer the Black Beauty.

[Chip Chipowski]

I really love this forum.  Sometimes I half heartedly wonder if I am getting carried away with my lens collection.  When I see the glorious collections on display here though, I know I am heading in the right direction 

[Andy]

I know I am heading in the right direction 

If you need a "target" explanation for your better half: Roland has more than 900 different lenses in his list.
