Please, please forgive me, Gods of Olympus.. :D

I have gone to the dark side... yes- Nikon!

The Nikon F100 is a 35mm film body I got for a song on E-Bay, and because it's more advanced and can shoot higher ASA film and has better metering it's a natural for fast B&W film for night and twilight.

I'm still hunting down a 50mm prime.. either f1.4 or f1.8- autofocus.

I plan on posting up some quick shots as soon as I read the manual!

    Welcome to the Dark Side....

    the real cool thing is you can get the new Lensbaby and use your Nikon lens on the Oly

    dont forget the special cable to load the images on the PC either....

    Yes do welcome to the dark side and I'm wrestling with reverting back to film or slides as well from time to time.

    First, your very welcome, and it looks like you are putting it to some great use...

    Now i have a question, my film days was a Minolta X700, still have it...
    but I'm not familiar with Nikon film bodies. What would be a body that allows use of the newer FX lens. Is there a body out there that is similar in settings to my D90.

    The F6 (around $1200 used) and the one I have, the F100 ($220 used)
