Uncle Bill
Hi everyone, my Name is Bill (Hi Bill) and I have a love for Pre AI Nikkor bodies.
I own two Nikon Fs an early model (a 641) with an eyelevel prism and an Photomic Tn made in
1967. My F2 has the DP-1 meter head and I have a Nikkormat Ftn which was the first Nikkor body in my camera line up.
The big question is why? Well my dad owned the early Nikon F and a Nikkormat, when he was on his way out due to cancer, I inherited the F and my brother got the Nikkormat (and also got a Topcon and Leica IIIg). Both cameras took a lot of family and travel photos over the years. With my black and white (and sometimes colour work) I am out to capture a look from the 1960's and '70s using traditional films and developers and Pre-Ai Nikons are just cool to use.
