Now I don’t want to blow my own trumpet, but I’m a bit of an eBay whizz. I’ve spent many winter nights deep into my research, looking for some specialist bits and bobs that are usually either discontinued or just darn hard to find. Everything from specific old flashguns for my camera traps to old manual-focus lenses, I have whiled away weeks hunting down cables and connectors that have long since gone from the current Nikon catalogue. I’m lucky enough to own some classic Nikon cameras, including an F3 HP, that I love and still use alongside a gorgeous mint-condition 28mm f/2 Ai-S lens. However there was still one camera, a little bit of an oddity, that kept evading my searches.
