Hey my names Will, been trolling here for a while so i figured I would finally join up. Don't really have the camera I would like as of yet...looking to get a Nikkon D40/or 60. But while I was visiting my Grandfather in California over Christmas break he gave me his old Nikon F Photomic Tn and a bunch of lenses and light meters. I was really surprised because for being from 1968 this thing is extremely mint. I plan on messing around with it a bit here pretty soon, experimenting with all the different lenses and glass it came with. Over all im pretty happy with it all, looks to be a fun little toy. Let me know what you guys think. Kinda new to actually decent film cameras.

Auto Nikkor 20mm-UD wide angle lens
Non-Ai 135mm f/3.5 Nikkor-Q Auto telephoto lens
Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5

    Welcome Will!

    Needs a bit of clean-up but otherwise, fine looking cameras.

    I'm going to move this over to cameras as I bet there are some folks that wouldn't mind seeing this.

    You should go with a D200 or D300, or your lenses will all be manual exposure.
