I don't like the looks of that green resistor and whatever that glop is between it and the three terminals.

Thanks PF! IIRC the theoretical normal lens for 24x36 is 43mm, so 40 is close enough. The only problem is that there are not too many RF viewfinders with an accurate 40mm field, so approximations are needed. One camera with a 40mm FOV viewfinder that comes to mind is the Rollei 35 RF (a Cosina Voig...

Good work with the D80, PF, and very glad to see your posts again.

Thanks, Julio. I'm getting that itch again to get out whenever I feel like it.

Rest in peace, Brother.

Well, I know it. I'm working on doing something similar; I have a demanding volunteer position that I'm hoping to pass on to someone else in the spring. In the meanwhile, a busy summer has meant little photography (except for a bit of sports shooting that was done on request) but I'm hoping it's al...

That group you were with sounds like the camera club I joined for a little while. They all had switched to digital, and the usual winner of the monthly photo contest was the guy who always over saturated his photos, especially if there was a lot of green in them. I tried to extol in them the virtues...

What a nice set of projects. Glad you're getting back out there, PF! Robert Thanks, Robert. I'm doing better physically these days and have reduced my commitments to other functions in order to free up some me time so I can get back to enjoying photography. There's nothing like being able to choose...

Big results from such a tiny camera! Good work on fixing the leak and scratch issues too, Paul.

It's been a minute since I last posted anything. I'll try to make up for it with a triple subject post as I'd likely get kicked off again making more than one. One of my favorite cameras I've ever owned was the Nikon D80. It was my first DSLR and I hoped it would make a fine companion for my Coolpix...

Having used cameras with 40mm lenses either built-in or interchangeable, I'd have to say that it is a very useful focal length. Those are some lovely results, Julio.
