So happy to hear this news, I would happily contribute to the ongoing expense and would still love to take part in a "the forum is not dead" ride and drinks!
I'm in Fife but happy to post in the UK. Let me know if you want pictures. It was my uncles camera, I had it serviced last year and it's got a good bill of health from Nikon.
Gutted to move it on, but too many cameras gathering at the moment!
Thinking about selling my rather nice and recently serviced Nikon F6, would anyone be interested? They go for around £900 on Ebay, so was thinking £750. Could bundle a 50mm F1.4 lens too for an additional £150.
Selling my F6 if you want the big brother.
