The only reasons I never purchased one was because it didn't have mirror-lock-up and because the camera couldn't tell, while in matrix metering mode, if it was horizontal or vertical. So the matrix metering pattern didn't adjust (like the Nikon F4 did). Still a wonderful camera, though.

However, I tend to refine each purchase as I go.<br /><br />I bought a low-end Rollei B35 a while back and wound up carrying it everywhere. My wife bought me a Rollei 35S recently which is an upgrade, but we never would have gotten it without the B35 first.<br />I have had an Nikkor AF 50mm/1.8 for a long time, but recently bought another AiS version of the same optics just because I like it so much but wanted the classic metal construction.<br /><br />I use my Nikon SB-30 flash so much (small, supports TTL and self-meters as needed) I am on the lookout for another one at a good price so that I have redundancy.<br /><br />And conversely if the initial “tester” purchase doesn’t work out (hate the design, controls, size is not right, etc.) you don’t feel as bad leaving it on the shelf when you got it at a bargain in the first place.Jamie Zucekhttp://www.sunnysixteen.net/noreply@blogger.com
