Freeshit-1

Left to right: boxed and mint Nikon Series E 70-210mm f/4 (manual focus, same optics as the AF 70-210 f/4), dead Nikon FG (I think I can get it working; if not I'll use it for spares), boxed and mint Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 (same optics as the AF 50mm f/1.8). Rear: some 1980s thyristor auto-flash. Not shown: three expired-in-2005 films which I fully intend to use.

Man, I love it when people give me free camera shit. Thanks Mark! Even though the 50mm f/1.8 (a great lens) looks silly on my D2H:

I'm gonna put this out here as some Google bait: the focus ring on the Series E 50mm f/1.8 is a bit tough to turn. Is this how the lens should be or is this in need of a service?
