My trusty N80, which I barely got to know. Bought it in early 2001 and retired it in late 2003.
It replaced two worn-out Nikkormats that I bought in 1972. It was such a change from my "manual"
cameras that I joked that it was a computer to which one could attach a lens. Buying this body
involved a severe case of sticker shock: it was four times the price I paid for each of the
Nikkormats (which I got at a discount at a military audio-photo club in Germany). In 2013 I sold this to my friend the film fanatic Kris Frederick.
This is my first digital picture.
