Nikon F Eye-Level with Four Nikkors

[PFMcFarland]

Had some time to kill while the vehicle was in the shop, so I brought along my meter less Nikon F Eye-Level, and four non-AI lenses: Nikkor-N 1:2/ 28mm; Nikkor–S 1:2.8/35mm; Nikkor 50mm/1:1.4; and Nikkor-P 1:2.5/105mm. Film used was Kodak Tri-X 400 exposed at 200 ISO, and pull processed. Sunny-16 exposure calculation method.

Some samples:

What is "eye level" ?

[PFMcFarland]

That's what they call the meter less prism finder that came with the original F.

Some serious glass you were carrying around, PF. Please post that flickr shot of the body and lenses, so we can drool properly.

(Correction - I see that you did post the set but in the Friday Camera Porn forum).

I originally had it here, but figured the other place was better.

I think you will find that it's called "plain prism"

[PFMcFarland]

It's called both by most folks, but in the "Nikon F Nikkormat Handbook Of Photography" by Joseph D. Cooper and Joseph C. Abbott, item number 2 under "Briefly, the main features of the Nikon F camera bodies are these:", it is the "Eye-level" finder. I've also seen Nikon catalog pages that refer to it as such.
