Bill Smith's Photography

 Been ages since I shot with my Nikon F Photomic Tn, pre move from Oakville actually. I've owned this one for over 20 years and consider this camera the one that nudged me firmly into the Nikon universe after shooting with my first Canon AE-1. I've shot kilometers of film through my Photomic Tn including Kodachrome 64 and Agfa APX 100 and 400. Some films are no longer with us but the F Photomic Tn endures to see new films like Rollei RPX series of films.  Please note I shot with the Nikkor H 50 F2 not the S 50 F2 which lives on my dad's early F. Anyway sliced the Nikkor 50 F2 lenses is sharp glass. These lenses live on my F's, F2's and Nikkormats.  I hope to have another 20 years with this camera that put me into the Nikon universe.  Camera: Nikon F Photomic Tn, Nikkor H 50 F2 lens.  Film: Rollei RPX 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15. 

I've forgotten exactly when I bought my Phototomic Tn Nikon F. It was in around the 2004-2005 time period and I picked it up at Commerical Camera in North York, Gord was my repair tech at the time, sadly he passed a few short years after I picked this up just after Commerical Camera  Repair relocated and subsquently closed.  The Photomic Tn F had a jumpy meter which was tamed by an overhaul courtesy Winball Camera which was owned by the former Nikon Hong Kong service manager and his wife. The Tn unlike the slightly younger FTN, you had to adjust the meter slightlly after every lens change, so if you had a Nikkor H 50 F2 lens and switched to an H 28 F3.5 lens, you had to adjust the meter slightly, a bit of a pain in the ass but Nikon was striving for reliablity not being conveient, that was for the Nikkormat series of cameras, and the Photomic FTN. All that said I love shooting with the camera, just run with lenses with the same aperture, in this F2.  Camera: Nikon F Photo...
