very nice, very nice indeed...If I REALLY wanted to go “all in” on a camera, I think it would be THIS one:

I’m over the moon with the retro styling; the machined metal body parts, and knurled control knobs. It totally reminds me of my Dad’s Nikon S-2 (still fully functional, BTW), which he bought in 1958 for the princely sum of $236 while serving in the Army in Okinawa.
Here’s a nice write-up on the S2 with pictures for the sake of comparison.

FYI: My son finally called me this morning. He says a tornado cut between his house and his work (about two miles away) and that they are safe. I was becoming concerned, but he said he had left his phone in his wife’s car.
In other news, the migraine is still with me.
In still other news, I was offered a one-bedroom but had to turn it down because it was right in the middle of where I was when I narced on the “independent pharmaceutical salesmen” who had taken over my front yard. All it would take is for someone to recognize me or my voice and it would be all over....
No promises on posting more. Just promising to be here. Somewhat.
Cute camera. My dad had a fancy Nikon that he bought in Asia in the 60s; it took forever for him to focus and shoot a picture.
very nice, very nice indeed...
