My new camera has arrived! The Nikon F4, a very special single digit Nikon that sits neatly beside my F3 and F5. So why another and why the F4? Well, I needed a film camera to travel to Nepal with as I have decided to shoot exclusively on film. Having ruled out medium format this time round (the Pentax really does weigh allot!) I needed something reliable, rugged and good with manual and auto focus lenses. I also didn’t want to risk my inherited F3 and favoured F5. Hence the F4 stood out with its ability to give matrix metering with the older AI/AI-S lenses and came at a good price. Traveling light is also a must and I highly recommend the smaller MB-20 grip to any potential F4 users for this reason. I will be throwing a few rolls of film at this workhorse in the next couple of weeks to quickly learn its way of thinking and unique intricacies. Stay tuned…
