I shot a roll and a half of Velvia 50 in my FE alongside digital at the West Indian Carnival parade in Brooklyn on Monday, and just got one back from development.

Despite the fact that the Nikon FE comes from the era before autofocus, the much newer Nikkor 80–200mm f/2.8D AF ED works perfectly on it excepting that it doesn’t automatically focus, of course.

The 35mm f/2 AIS is a fast, contrasty, and cheap lens on the used market. Now that the 35mm f/1.8 AF-S is available, cheap, and well received (though impossible to find), DX owners have less reason to own this lens. It’s great for film and FX, though, if you don’t mind MF lenses.
