My old NikonF and FA?

Found some old Kodak Portra film in a drawer yesterday that expired in 2003 and thought it would be fun to expose the roll and see what color shifts might occur.

You have no aperture control on either of those bodies.

Should be no problem I guess as the bodies also have an F mount.

Doh! Forgot about the aperature ring.

Guess I'll use the old 50mm f:1.4 that I got in 1968.

Perfect excuse to pick up an F100 or F6

Hey, back in the early 80s I was stylin' pretty good with the FA to which was attached the MB-15 motor drive. A whiz-bang 3.2 FPS.

I was shooting stills on set during a Shell Oil commercial where a Corvette appears to break through a gas pump. Used the FA with motor drive attached to a 70-210 push/pull tele with MF.

Amazed that I got a fine sequence in focus!

I had the FA too for a few years, but hated the delay.
I think you mean the MD-15. The FA also accepted the MD-12, though that was really faster on the FE2/FM2n.

EB-1: Yes, typo. It was the MD-15 and it's still attached.
