Film SLR

Earlier this week, I purchased a film SLR camera just because I thought that'd be cool. I settled on a used Nikon F100, which is perfectly compatible with all of my existing Nikkor D and G lenses. I ordered mine from B&H via eBay.

Unfortunately, I didn't time my research and purchase of any actual film, so my new old camera will be sitting around for some time until then. 

I doubt I'll put good use into the F100 but I think it's cool just to play around with from time to time.
