I have a new aquisition... :rolleyes: .. a shiny almost brand spanking new D300s. It has only fired 7 shots (three are mine)... came complete with box and all accessories.. most still in their plastic bags... all for the princely sum of $NZ450.  I have attached my trusty AF 50mm 1.8..  which doesn't see the light of day much these days.

 

Attached File  20170510_201644.jpg   158.89KB   0 downloads

 

My niece asked recently if I had any 'old' DSLRs that I didn't need... I need them all :P :D .. but when I saw this D300s advertised at Photo & Video I thought that would make a good 'learning' camera... so here it is... soon to be on permanent loan to my niece and her three young lady daughters.

Fantastic camera - awful sensor - should still be fun to shoot with.

Good find. My D300 served me well from Jan 2009 until I got the D7100 in Jan 2014. Today it serves infrared duty.

Still shooting DX digital and don't plan on going full frame.

D7100, red D5300, IR converted D300,  D40, D70s, Olympus C-5060 P&S from 2003, and a few 35mm film bodies
