Hi,

This brings back old memories. I have a Nikon 35 Ti film camera, with a
fixed 35mm f 2.8 lens that was exceedingly sharp. The camera was built
like an elegant army tank, and had retro needle pointer dials. The
pictures that I took with it were quite sharp and free of visible
aberrations. I used it as a pocket camera, when I could not bring my 14
pounds of Nikon F equipment along. Its only problem was its high price.

Got one too, as well as the competitor from Minolta (TC). Unfortunately,
film-based photography was already on the way out by that time.
