So I'm shooting with my manual 180 2.8 ED on one of the F100s and low 
and behold the aperature engagement tab GETS FUCKING SHEERED OFF.....The 
camera is now on it's way to Nikon for a $179-200 repair...which, thank 
God, the PR firm is paying for....But I'd love to have some little 
Japanese nome explain why THAT, of all parts, isn't something like 
titanium, or at least stainless steel......ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG :-(((((((
