Just been talking to Eric about some of the older Nikons as I have just got a very good 2nd hand D300S body from WEX for £150 and the quality of images is very good. This is an old shot of mine with another D300 at 1600 ISO 18-200mm lens 1/100sec at f4.2 hand held with hardly any noise and pin-sharp results with very poor light. Slate mine at Ffestiniog.

Did you have a go up that ladder, Graham?
I did a brochure shoot for English heritage at Binham Priory a few years ago. (They are still using my shots on their website!)

In fact it was just after I bought the D3.
They had me up in the Gods on this narrow walkway….2foot wide with obstacles and uneven. No safety net, ropes or even a helping hand…..noone would go up there with me.
I remember it so well because despite being ok with heights I managed to swing the D3 over my shoulder descending the equally restricted spiral stone stairwell and scratched its hot shoe on the walls. I was tempted to carve my name alongside the scrape.
Those were the days eh?
I’m not sure I would fit up that stairwell now. In truth not sure how me, the camera gear and tripod squeezed up there at all!
They must have all been anorexics in those days.
