From a post on Calcgames.org:

So some of you might know I’m a pho­tog­ra­phy nut, and that I deal solely with dig­i­tal. I’ve devel­oped under five medium for­mat cards in my life, so you can see where my true loy­al­ties lie.

How­ever, about six months ago we found a suit­case in our base­ment that con­tained my great-grandfathers pho­tog­ra­phy equip­ment, sans cam­era. It it was a Nikkor 105mm f/2.5; Spi­ra­tone 28mm f/2.8; Soligor 300mm f/5.5 and a Kodak Micro-Bellows, among other parts includ­ing a remote shut­ter wire, right angle finder, and some fil­ters. These are all F-mount Nikon equip­ment, all manual.

Yes­ter­day, after arriv­ing home from work, my aunt called me over and told me she found a old cam­era, and since I was inter­ested in such things, if I wanted it. So it turns it that is indeed the miss­ing cam­era. It’s a Nikko­r­mat FTn, and came with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 and Nikkor 135mm f/2.8. What’s really cool is there is also a 2x tele-extender, so that 300mm is now a 600mm f/11. I still need to locate a bat­tery for the light meter, it used Mer­cury 1.33v before, and as we all know those are quite ille­gal. :) It seems they use reg­u­lar Zinc-Air hear­ing aid bat­ter­ies with minor mod­i­fi­ca­tions, and hope­fully I can occupy myself for a week or two with this clas­sic cam­era. I espe­cially look for­ward to micro work. There’s also a flash that I’ll use with my 350D for bounce fill effects.

Oh, and in case you didn’t already know: I’ve been a Canon user all my life and truly believe they make the best pho­to­graphic equip­ment today. When this Nikko­r­mat was made, how­ever, I think Nikon was still the supe­rior brand.
