Don - Nice snaps with the ancient Nikkors and film on the rangefinder...very cool!
Serge...I looked on flickr groups and decided the D40X sensor was the look I liked, I love the D200 and S5 Pro too. CCD DX Nikon is dirty dirty cheap right now and with MF Nikkors which are also cheap you can pick up an amazing system.
Here is the D40X and 28/2 K today.
I call it the Hollywood rig...cropped 28 equals 42.
The D40X sensor fits my rubber focus ringed, multi-coated, saturated, rendering like out of a 70s Nat Geo magazine (natural I guess) lens just fine.

Hi, Jeff:
I am also a fan of the Fuii S5 Pro and have posted quite a few photos from the machine here. What sets it apart from the other CCD cameras is the huge latitude in its highlight dynamic range. I would use the D40 more often but manually metering non chipped lenses gets old fast.
The D200 would be a nice camera as it has an excellent body, meters with non chipped lenses and has a far superior viewfinder compared to other CCD Nikon DX cameras.
Serge
