Chasing Classic Cameras -Nikon U2 – end of the line Nikon 35mm SLR

November 23, 2020November 23, 2020Chris and Carol 2 Comments

Also known as the Nikon N75 in North America and the F75 everywhere else outside of Japan. It’s a sophisticated autofocus and auto exposure 35mm film camera that uses almost all of Nikon’s F mount lenses.

Original list price in 2003. It’s actually a very expensive film camera in it’s day. At about 110 JPY to USD puts it in the high $500 range.

This particular camera had the date time display option so technically it would be the Nikon U2 QD.

I’ll have this wonderful available in my camera shop very soon. You can visit my shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

Here’s a fun little contest brochure that was included with my camera.

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Florida Cottonmouth (water moccasin)

The water moccasin is a common visitor in our backyard habitat. This one was about three feet long which puts it in the average size class.

It’s a pretty but very deadly snake and in the nearly thirty years I’ve lived here I’ve seen about a dozen. Lately I’ve seen more as my backyard forest and wetlands have matured.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful and safe day! – Chris

Can America step back from the abyss? Yes, it can with a person who has served his country for nearly five decades. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Congratulations! Democracy wins and so will we all!

Peace and thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Obviously this being a “wordless” Wednesday post I shouldn’t be commenting about my pic but I wanted to share a bit of background.

When I first saw this truck from a bit of a distance my heart missed a few beats. In this part of the world it’s not uncommon (but still shocking) to see children riding in the back of a pick up truck. So you can understand my shock when I thought this was the foot and head of a baby!

As I got closer I realized that it was a doll – I sure wish the driver had thought about what it would look like before setting out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful and safe day in this crazy world. – Chris

Well, a bit of a stretch calling this a macro shot but you get the idea.

Reflections on a Galaxy

While taking photos of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, I managed to grab a rather artistic image.

In light of all the craziness going on at the moment, let’s just sit back and think of something that makes us smile. Pikachu!

Astro Boy – Mighty Atom

Who knew? I didn’t until I opened a video camera remote control and found these gems sitting inside since around 2004.

Astro Boy on a pair of Sony AA batteries – expired 11/2005 and they didn’t leak! High-quality batteries made by Sony in Japan. If your a fan of Anime and Manga then these are right up your alley. I understand these were produced in a limited run back in the early 2000s. I’m just happy that they didn’t destroy my remote. Hooray for Mighty Atom!
