Show Off Your Nikon RF

Great camera, enjoy it. there's something special about a nice S3.

Range

Thanks Range.
It is a nice camera and based on the first test roll that 50 1.4 is special.
I have a 35 2.5 arriving tomorrow so i am diving into the Nikon RF head first.
That said, the S3 still don't give me the same quality feeling i get from my M6 and the range finder in the S3 is nowhere as good as it is in the M6

It is pretty though :)

Happy new year to you too, Park! I no longer have an S3 in my arsenal but I still have the 21mm Nikkor and CV 21mm finder :)

Both beautiful combos!! Since its been used a lot, I think your SP 2005 has a little more wear on it than we can see here though ;)
 
Oh my, an original black S2

Yes, even I droped my SP 2005 on the ground 2-3 times! I think some original black SP's are looks better than mine:eek:

No it's not, you have to get used to it but at time it really is good and
I forget all about all the Leica's I had, by the way did you get it cleaned
out that makes a big improvement when the finders cleaned out.

I have not thought about getting it cleaned and i don't think there's anything to clean.
The camera looks unused inside and out so i can't imagine the view finder would be dirty.
Good suggestion though..
 
That's good, mine was a sad case I purchased at Adorama which I took apart and cleaned
which made it a whole lot better yours was well cared for so that's always a plus. Hey you
got a newer camera that should be fantastic!

Yeah, I never shot with the 8.5cm much because I had an old chrome one that was just a brick. Never liked the heft on the front of the camera. But with the new black/chrome model I picked up for a bargain price I think I'll be more inclined to use it, at like half the weight.

Also my old chrome model didn't focus well on the Bessa. Need to try this newer one. Not sure if it was the lens/camera combo or just the Bessa's less magnified finder. After being so used to the 1:1 Nikkor, the Bessa is a step-down for me wrt focusing.
 
Hi, I am newcomer in this forum and like Nikon S system much
Would like to show a photo for a Y2K Nikon S3 with Nikkor O 2.1cm f4 + finder which also have distance scale in meter.

Sorry that the S/N has not shown since I already sold them out to another collector some time ago
