The last genuine Nikon F series camera I used, and still the best if Japanese optics are your thing
Indeed Joe, you'll notice on the image a Nikkor 35mm f2.8 shift lens, I can highly recommend this lens to you, I found it so useful in many situations, not least for correcting verticals?Love the F3. I"ve only had one since about March (Etsy find) and love it!
I've been considering a 35mm f2. I also really like the Voitlander 40mm f2. Very compact, sharp and looks wonderful.Indeed Joe, you'll notice on the image a Nikkor 35mm f2.8 shift lens, I can highly recommend this lens to you, I found it so useful in many situations, not least for correcting verticals?
The 40mm is a beautiful focal length Joe, I used to have a 40mm Summicron on a Leica CL I had and found it very useable. I have also always admired H. Cartier-Bressons minimalist approach to photography, the one camera one lens principle, I do believe that sometimes we are over-geared in our approach.I've been considering a 35mm f2.

Agreed. I own only two lenses for my two Nikon slrs, 28mm & 50mm.

I know Joe, it's so tempting, photographic equipment is a bit like that, I'm a bit the same with watches but I have now given my JLC Reverso to our Daughter so I just have a Submariner which I bought last year, and that feels OKAgreed.

Wouldn't you know it, just hours after our conversation above, I grabbed a 40mm on ebay. Three lenses, all I need is three lenses....I know Joe, it's so tempting, photographic equipment is a bit like that, I'm a bit the same with watches but I have now given my JLC Reverso to our Daughter so I just have a Submariner which I bought last year, and that feels OK

The Better Pancake: Voigtländer Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II
I have my processing and scanning done by a local source, sorry.
I saw something about this earlier this week as well, while these are interesting shots, the lighting and photography is impressive as well. It's very cool
Some serious megapixel action going on there!I wanted to send this to you Joe, my happy hunting ground when I was younger, The Mont Blanc Massif. Incredible mountain photography, digital, but well worth a look? in2white - MontBlanc Largest panoramic image
