Is Nikon developing an MF-30 for the F100?

Hi Alexander.
So you think the F100 launch was hurried. Well i think so too.
But I think saying that the EOS3 is better than the F100 is just not
right. The F100 was designed as a real working machinewhich can take

Hi Nikoneers.
I just received my 80-200 AF-S from my supplier a few days ago. All I
can say is that the lens is just outstanding. Its handling is just
the best. Its AF smooth as silk. When tracking moving objects, it
doesn't jump focus and the green dot is ever present in the
viewfinder.

There are several ways of using the AF-On button on the F5 and F100.

If you are experiencing this problem, please check if your SC-17 is
the new version. The old one laks the posi-lock hole which is needed
to mount an SB-25,26,27,28. The newer version has this thus
eliminating the chances of dislodging the SB's foot from the hot shoe.

Hi guys.
I read that someone wished for an FM-2N with spotmeter. Then someone

is why
Hi guys.
Some of you have questioned the practicality of AF-S in short as well
as medium telephoto lenses. An advantage I have come to realize is the
ability to override AF with manual focus. This is quite helpful when
you find that the subject lacks contrast that it will be impossible to
use
When I made my shift from MF cameras to AF, I tried to learn
everything about the four main camera manufacturers whic offered AF
cameras. I studied all, Canon, Minolta, Nikon, and Pentax. Of all
the four I narrowed it down to three then two. I ended up deciding
between Nikon and Canon.
