I've been a Nikon guy since 1969. Had an Ftn, an F2 and an F4. One problem with that generation of lenses and the (relatively) modern generation of Nikon film cameras (I have an F4, the last of Nikon's truly professional film cameras) is that the old lenses will not couple to the camera's light meter. At that point, they really are hard to work with. Also, my lenses from the 60's and early 70's developed fungus between the lens elements, a not uncommon situation. I still use this camera for "wet" black and white photography.

For color, digital is my choice. I have a d700.
