I've found the Nikon 5000 does a better job than the 2000. Which is why my local kindergarten wouldn?t take mine.

Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon Here's an old 60's tri x shot I probably have shown here before. http://rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/Motherchildindoorpage.html Taken with a Voigtl?nder Vito BL which my grandfather gave to my father and my father gave to me (when he got his Contarex Bullseye). My grandfather, father and myself all share the fact that we were all born in Brooklyn New York. But on different days.
