Its a street photo, good enough it seems that even Zeiss thought it worth using.



The F100 is a bit of a surprise, the viewfinder is good, really good. Focus pops on all FLs. Its a great body for manual focus lenses.

I did get a Beattie split prism for it a while back so that it would match my D700 and katzeye but it was really bad. Nothing on the web, not anywhere so I make every effort to warn anyone off buying the Beattie. I was lucky they accepted its return but you dont want to get stuck, its a bad design. You cannot see anything till you achieve focus so the silly thing blocks the view as you compose. You cannot see focus arriving, you can only see once you are focused, is nothing like a Katseye on a D700 but it doesn't need a split screen anyway.

The F100 is underrated except by those that own one. It has a build like a D700 and the shutter and film advance is very smooth and a very satisfying sound. They sell for next to nothing and like new and its a beautiful mistake, your 105 would be stunning on one if you got it cleaned.
I've had a F90x, 801, F3HP, F5. Need to try the F4 and maybe the F6 but the F100 stops me, I'd buy another in a heartbeat, the balance is stunning.

And if you get one add a nikon eyecup.

Thanks
I actually have another 105 that I use regularly on my F2AS/FE2- the F2AS/Type K is hard to focus for me in low light - can't really tell when the focus peaks

I need to dig up my dad's F100 and play with it

The F4 is a wonderful camera, beautifully built with just the right balance of electronic and manual controls, however it has one major flaw which is that it weights a ton (or two). I've used the F4 for portraiture with the 85mm f1.8 AIS (a rather rare and beautiful lens) but the combination is not, for me, really hand holdable so I bought an F100 a few months back but have yet to use it. It does look pretty good though and sits nicely in the hand, without the weight and bulk of the F4.
 
Another passionate f100 owner here. Beautiful pictures in this thread, Now, where is my 20mm AFD? I have use it again...

PS: more difficult: where are that slides I shot a couple of years ago with the f100, 20mm and sb26?
 
The 12 or 15mm Voigtlanders I have had an eye on although for the Bessa R cameras. And that's when I get one of those, I need to spend time getting more familiar with what I already have :)

BTW, I tried to change the title to remove "Nikkors" so the samples people post are not limited to the brand, but the change doesn't percolate to the link shown on the main page.
