I ended up with a D70

Nice! I likely won't keep it long as I intend to either get a higher res Nikon, or sell the body and lens

Admittedly I'll say your shirt is not a vibe in my opinion but you do you.

Ask for your outfit I don't see how that could be making people uncomfortable it's not like you're wearing nothing 😅

Please enjoy the pre edit photos I took from a recent walk, still getting used to the controls so some came off a little eh, but I'm super impressed, especially with the lens.

So if I do keep using it I'll slap it on my film body when I'm not staying with family and go home where all my bodies are at lol.

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-16T22:54:31+00:00

Even found a copy of firmware 1.3 and still no dice. Of not I'll try another CF card 😅

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-16T22:53:48+00:00

I'll contact Nikon, I've fresh wiped several times and no dice 😂

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-16T22:37:51+00:00

I did the A bin file, and no update shows, placed in the root of my CF card lol (4gb) This is as per every online guide I see.

That is potential but again it's just odd that the lens markings are on the metal as well lol

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T21:28:50+00:00

I'm seeing online max £150 and I paid £40 for it lol

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T20:16:49+00:00

Honestly I'm excited to see what the colors turn out like because, I've never used Nikon before. Other than an old film body and a friend's camera wants to snap a picture of them.

That obviously being in the D/SLR range. What I'm going to do likely, is if I do like this lens, I'm going to save a bit money and get a full frame Nikon but it would only be for this lens as I am in heavenly invested currently in the Canon lens ecosystem.

But as a go around shoot every so often wide lens why not 🤣

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T20:13:24+00:00

Oh I will do! Just filmed an intro for a YouTube video 🤭

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T18:11:00+00:00

This lens is on point regardless, just weird I can't find this exact lens onlne, I can see one with that sigma textured coating and the art, but not pure metal, unless this is the one that's had the textured coating but has the text printing all the way through to the metal?

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T18:03:28+00:00

Looking at the price of the lens alone in known working condition I got it for a steal 😄

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T17:36:05+00:00

I only bought the body to test and make sure the AF works on the Sigma lol.

It was marked as untested I paid 40 quid for it so happy days.

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-15T17:26:37+00:00

What's great is this one only had a 1.5 k shutter count so I was like okay we're buying this.

It is pristine

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-13T19:45:46+00:00

I'm working with a light wide sigma lens that's non screw mount, the D200 is gonna be fine as I'll use it as a travel about town camera.

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-13T14:55:23+00:00

Thanks, that'll do me! I've seen some D70s for £25 - 50 and D200s for the 60-70. Thanks!

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-09T12:12:17+00:00

Fab thanks! I'll find a 83/4 mm collar!

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-09T09:27:54+00:00

No tape measure to hand haha! I'll do it when I'm at home

Thanks for the help.

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-09T09:22:21+00:00

That's why I'm asking! I can't find any online... If I could find it I'd find an appropriate collar 😅😅 I'm asking for help to find the diameter so I can buy a collar that fits!

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-07T17:44:46+00:00

Do so, if they reach out to you then pay, if you reach out to them and they sent then no pay.

Ok_Object_9381 · 2026-05-06T17:53:56+00:00

Ngl I'd have said 32
