Lol. Ok.

This reminds me of the time my buddy asked me to bring my Ford Diagnostic Scanner up to his place so he could test his truck with it. He had a 1978 Ford pickup. He thought I would get the joke, but I didn't. Ha. He was a patient man.

When I find a good use for a high speed motor winder, I will post it here. I doubt that I ever will.

Does the N75 have a battery grip? I have a Minolta 5 which I think is in the same class as the N75, no batter grip.
