tomin 0 #1 December 20, 2004 Hi everybody, I would like to ask You for advice, about buying camera for freefall photography. I am a photographer for about 7 years, and skydiver for two years. I have Nikon F3 camera, since I don`t have motor for it it`s useless for skydiving photography. Also, have whole set of lenses Nikon F mount. Could You give me any advice - which camera would be good to buy for this kind of photography? Please consider that I do not have much money for this, since that I live in Serbia & Montenegro former Yugoslavia, and economic situation in state is equal zero. To resume : I am looking for cheap camera for skydiving photography where I could use my existent Nikon lenses. Thank You for Your time, and willing to help. Best regards : Milan TominFly High !

AggieDave 6 #2 December 21, 2004 Have you looked at the D70? I'm not fully sure the F lenses fit the body, but I'm sure a quick e-mail to Nikon would solve that question. Sadly, though, I believe it is a fairly expensive camera. A jumper at my DZ was in the same position you're in with the lenses and had chosen to go with the D70 (not only that but its digital). As a side note, you should read Quade's "camera flyer FAQ" especally since you've got under 100 jumps. Good luck!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

tomin 0 #3 December 21, 2004 Yes, I know everything about d70, but it is for sure out of my budget. Lenses are no problem, I would use manual focus mode anyway. Thanks for the tip.Fly High ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBCOOPER 1 #4 December 22, 2004 Would your lenses fit an N2000?Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomin 0 #5 December 22, 2004 I think so... N2000 is something like f401 or f301 as I know, so manual lens will fit as well. Why? What`s the price of N2000?Fly High ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
