Camera (Nikon F-301 / N2000 w/35-70mm 1:3.3-4.5 kit lens)
See a newer and better photo of this camera here!
The first camera I bought still worth mentioning. Its a Nikon F-301 SLR, with a Nikkor 35-70 mm 1:3.3-4.5 kit lens (at least I think its the kit lens - I got it with the camera when I bought it.).
An entrance level SLR from Nikon at the time I bought it, in 1989. I had the choice between this and the more automatic F-501, and chose this - it does have a program setting, but has lots of manual settings, and the lens is all manual, of course - both aperture and focus. The camera was introduced in 1985.
I believe it set me back NOK 4,000 at the time, roughly EUR 500 today (or USD 750 with the currently weak dollar). Its about the same as NOK 5,850 today - roughly the price for a Canon EOS 400D with kit lens in Norway now.
I've not uploaded any photos taken with this camera to Flickr yet, but I've acquired a Canon MP-600 printer with scanner now, so who knows? :-)
Still my only SLR. I'm surrounded by Canon people and only have this Nikon lens, so the next one will quite possibly be a Canon.
(Yes, I know, the background removal leaves a bit to be desired here. ;-)
