stick with fuji and it will work wonders!

dam you man, jealous of your f100, how much that thing set you back?

[opentoejones]

dude.... man,,, i did my home work... it was either gonna be the Canon EOS 3 or this lovely Nikon F100. took a risk of getting a used one, viewed and kept track of so many EBAY auctions until the right time came along,,, and BAM copped one in great condition with only 30 rolls goin through it from the original owner for $435...(body only)... then did the same shit for my first lens... got the 50mm f/1.4 for $200... not bad at all.. .. now been researching on techniques and basic photography skills... trial and error on phototaking and testing out different films... but definitely fuji will always be on my list to use.

dam man...fucking nikons...

i have 3 minoltas, x700, x500 and SRT101 old school, 3 50mm, 35-135 zoom, 200mm, 24mm, 28mm, motor drive, sunpak flash with color filter set, slave flash triggers...etc
