Hi Richard, Merry Christmas.

That's a beautiful Christmas photo of a lovely place.

I pretty much had the same gear in the mid 70's, a Nikkormat ELW and  
the 43-86 zoom. I traded the ELW for a FE and had the zoom AI'd. I  
still have the body and lens. I actually used the zoom on my D700. It  
looks pretty good.

Len
