Sweet dilemma

Still have an F5 - it's a wonderful camera, but Nikon AF lenses don't suit me as well as the Canons do. I've stayed with Nikon AIs lenses and manual focus lenses and bought two EOS 1ns - cheap with the boosters - to go with the EOS digitals I use for work. Stupid? Probably, but I want to be able to have just one kit with me to do both film and digital and Canon does that. Now what to do with all that Nikon manual focus stuff?

You can get an adapter to use them on your EOS film and digital bodies 😉

Forgot you also wanted experiences from other users. I've owned an N90s forever it seems like, pretty much just a couple of months after they hit the market. It finally started to get the sticky back, and the mirror had turned some sort of brown color from not being used in a while.

So I figured it was time to update it, and went with the F100. It's basically 95% F5, but in a smaller package. It too had the sticky back, but it was much easier to deal with than the N90s.

It handles better, has better AF, and the flash unit for it can be had for a decent amount. Even has built-in diopter correction in the viewfinder.

As for Canon AF gear, I don't own any. Just some manual focus lenses, and appropriate bodies for them (FL/FT QL, FD/ FTbn and AE-1 Program, and FDn/T50-70-90). I really do like the Canon glass, but not enough to do a total switch over from Nikon.

For the Nikon AF, I have three Tamron zooms I like. Always have had good results with them. Just started to get some Nikon AF primes, so not much to tell there.

In the Nikon world... for an AF SLR, IMHO the best value is the F100; better features but bigger, the F5 and if budget allows, I'd get the best AF film SLR ever made, the F6.
