Hello from France
« on: May 17, 2016, 22:19:16 »
Hi,

My name is Patrick and I live in Paris.
I've been using Nikon gear since my first F4 in 1989.
I'm now a "big collector" as I own all Nikon Pro cameras from the film era, and digital cameras from the D1 to the D3S.
I also have a nice bunch of lenses, of course including one of my favorites : the 200/2.0 AIS.
When I travel, I always have with me my old trusty D2X.  :)
My main subjects are sports and landscape.

Patrick

The 200/2 AIS was an early favourite of mine as well. I still have it although the AFS 200/2 has become the work horse these days.

Welcome to Nikongear, enjoy the site, and hopefully find opportunities to post your pictures.
