Oh no, Ive done it again !

just bought myself a Nikon F50 body on ebay for the princley sum of..............£6.70, Im planning to replace/modify one of the pillion pegs on my bike and use it for low level wide angle action shots on rideouts in the spring, and cos it only cost a few quid its pretty much expendable.

Sounds like a plan Stewie will look forward to the results You could have the shutter release wired into the pass switch (the one that flashes headlights as i can't remember what its called lol) lol

Hey thats an idea, im going to work out a simple target sight so that riders can pull behind me, then line themselves and I can fire a few shots off, obviously being film I need to get it right so as not to got through loads of exposures but its something to think about while the bikes parked up for the winter

Might attach something to the hotshoe, that way they are looking right toward the lens, just need to get the distance right, plus speed and preferably have the riders cornering or on long sweeping bends etc to add a bit of impact etc..

wow what an great idea, hope it worked out ! looking forward to spring lol

Defo goin for a digital camera in the new year though, just going to start a bit of research into it, although tbh it will probably be Nikon of some description

Sounds good Stewie! Look forward to seeing the results

At that price - you can afford to have some fun

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the results, sounds interesting

I knew it was too good to be true, just got an email from the seller saying that I had sent him a post dated cheque and as such the sale was off and he was relisting it. Well I didnt send a post dated cheque but even if I had you would have thought he could have given me the opportunity to put it right, I am mostly concerned that he has a cheque with my details on it plus my address. So I have contacted Ebay and told em the score and contacted the seller twice this morning but so far no response, I reckon he has realised that he was getting too little for the camera and has tried to wriggle out of the deal so he can relist it and get more for it, all this hassle for a cheap camera body eh ? ah well look on the bright side it just means I get a new digital a bit quicker now I suppose
