You are obviously a very smart and discerning woman Regina. I eventually liberated about $12,000 by selling Canon professional lenses and the 5D... all of which I put to good use in building my Nikon kit. I had fun building that Canon kit but even more fun USING the Nikon manual focus lenses I bought. We each have our story, don't we?
How did you stumble on this thread? Clearly you found an online home where you can share this particular passion...
Curtis, as you can see, I registered on FM in 2006 when I bought my D200. However, I never participated or posted pictures. Time passed, and in 2015, I bought a couple of manual lenses, and I use those lenses sporadically. One day, I was searching on the internet about manual lenses, and then the "Manual Focus Nikon Glass" thread came into my search. Initially, I was only checking out the posts and pictures until one day, I dared to post some pictures, and everybody was so welcome. I enjoy using my manual lenses, and my collection has increased (I will need eventually to sell some of my AF lenses)
