Can I use a Nikon and still be a Photo Mystic?

[kshapero]

Lately I have been really digging on my Nikon film SLR's. Feeling the love when slowly composing and shooting. Really seems so much like the joy I get when shooting my rangefinders. Can I be a Nikon mystic, too?😎

PS Please don't tell me to go to another forum,

This guy's a mystic, and he used a manual Nikon for a long time:

I'm with you on this. I have 2 'F' s that I use along with my Leicas. They are a nice compliment to each other and both Nikon and Leica have superb mechanicals and optics.

No, I think you are required to use a Canon 5d, if I remember correctly.

Sorry I have tried digital and my happiness is my ZI, Bessa and my many Nikons film cameras.

Akiva, Nikon SLRs are pure mystic too! Stephen must be right: Nikon RFs must be nirvana, I mean, nothing else to desire...

Having never used any Leica or Nikon RF myself, I think all highest sacred forces are waiting for me, if heaven allows one good day...

By now, Bessas and Nikon & Hassy SLRs are guiding me to the light of God...

I'll try hard until I deserve them...

Cheers,

Juan

You are not Mystic unless you use Nikon's RF's or SLR's.. or go to Heaven and use both!

Only if you use an F or earlier.

I use my F2 and Nikkormat's religiously. BTW what is earlier than an F? Nikon RF's?

Cheers, R.

Does an FTn count?

Yup.

For an SLR user, you can only be a Photo Mystic if you lock up the mirror and use the force to take the picture.

The Nikkor-O 2.1cm F4 does not count as "Mystic" as it has an external finder. Half-Mystic with scale-focus.

It would help also if you get rastafari hair and mumble a lot.

Using the Force in photography works truly well. Once took a picture with late my Pentax K100d and a 50mm wide open (75 equivalent) without framing and got a superb portrait. It's close to some kabalistic beliefs as it uses figures (0 and 1) to make a picture.

Photo Mystic with a Nikon? Don't think so.

Come back when you are using an Ermanox or at least a Barnack!!

Be afraid, very afraid... don't confuse 😕 Mystic with dentist... 😉 😛

I hope so. I just bought another nice F3 with motor for $135 shipped.
