I was digging through some storage boxes looking for things to photograph with my macro lens since the weather outside has been ugly and cold; anything but spring like. I was digging for was my Polaroid instant camera which I know is in a box somewhere but I still haven’t found it, instead I found this. Even though I am now team Canon and Sony my first film camera was this Nikon.
I did a little digging around online and discovered (a bit to my dismay) that when this camera was first marketed it’s target audience was women because it was reasonably simple and lightweight. Really now! Then again when I first looked at my Canon 5D Mark III a male sales person told me it might be heavy for me. This was just around 4 or 5 years ago I might add.
Truth be told it was initially a bit heavy to me (especially with the strap around my neck until I got a cross body strap) but now I tote it around easily even with it’s big 70-200mm lens attached. Take that “made for women” marketing! I’m almost tempted to see if it still works.
