Nikons…just work
Got the F401s ( also called the N4004 in the states, N series = american, F Series = elsewhere, but the model numbers don’t correlate to each other ), and after cleaning it up a bit, even although it was in good nick when it arrived, I still cleaned out the mirror both, focus screen and [...]

I’m aiming for this and the 55-200mm AF-S DX VR lens to cover all [...]
