Happy SUNday! – Nikon F

October 12, 2025October 12, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Classic Nikon. This is the last Nikon F in my collection. I enjoy using and collecting the early Nippon Kogaku logo bodies and, of course, a Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f1.4 lens. The camera was built in mid to late 1964. The lens is from 1965. I like it when it all comes together.

It was first released in 1959. This one is from 1964.

The reputation of the Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f1.4 lens is world-renowned.

I enjoy collecting the early Nippon Kogaku models with the ‘Fuji’ logo.

Can it get any more recognizable than this?

Happy SUNday! – family pics

My mom, Mary, was photographed by my dad, Paul, while traveling along the PCH in late 1961. Pictured is my Aunt Helen’s Ford Galaxy 500 that she lent us for our trip to San Francisco and Yosemite NP. I believe Helen was living in Thousand Oaks, SoCal, at that time. It was a fantastic trip that I’ll never forget. I was likely climbing some rocks or on the beach when he took the picture.
