I thought (it was a long time ago) it was what were the fast motor-drive cameras of the time that could have been used for jerky-motion movie footage. There were the various Robot cameras, and the B&H foton, but I'd have thought that the totally logical camera would have been the ultimate motorized 35mm camera of all time--the movie camera. Certainly there would be no reason at all not to have shot original footage the same way as any other movie, and produce the effect in editing. Therefore, the effect itself could have been produced at ANY time subsequent to the development of motion pix. For this effect the Nikon F seems like the least logical tool of all. If I misinterpreted the original question, just ignore me, as usual :-) - --Michael Darnton ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
