I hope this is a right place to show off my FG.... This is my first Nikon that I had, I choose FG 'cause it has several exposure mode (P, A and M ... plus TTL flash ) and still had a mechanical shutter for 'emergency' situation ... and it is the cheapest Nikon with manual override in that era. Actually my FG is black one, even it still in good condition but I decide to find the other one and put my black FG in very very special place due to its historical and emotional reason. * my real FG ... * my backup... silver FG, it uses the lens from the black FG. Is somebody ever use this camera too? please share your experience with this 'ultimate camera' from its era.... didon.-

didon, The coldest to which I have ever subjected a camera was -26F/-32C. I was taking pictures for a little over two hours with my Canon T90 (mechanical). It had four ordinary alkaline AA batteries. I had a spare set in my pocket but they were not needed. The camera had no special treatment. It was just as it came from the factory. There are other members who live much further north than I who probably have experienced considerably colder conditions. Mickey thank you for the info , Mickey..... T90 is one of my fav manual focus camera..... even it already motorized but the feel of fully mechanical camera is still dominan. And the other positive point for T90 is it use FD mount, one of the SLR mount that already 'death', so we can get it with very bargain price. * T90... normal function,.. I got it with a very reasonable price (imho) around $ 100 (body only). ** -32*C..... wow.... can't imagine that I can hold a camera in that kind of temperature..

Didon, your English is just fine. Humidity can be a real problem - fortunately in Britain we don't get high humidity too often. Dave. speaking about the climate problem, .. can you tell me, is there any specially treatment for the (mechanical) camera that we will use under the extreme low temperature , 'couse there is no 'low terperature' in my city.... the lowest temp here is around 24*C.. didon.-

Hi Didon Welcome to the forum. You have got some nice cameras there and well on your way to a collection not junk stuff. Is high humidity a problem for you in keeping your gear in good condition? Bob thanks Bob.... humidity and fungi is the most often problem in my region, especially for the lens, so use a hygrometer in our 'dry cabinet' is a must. For the mechanical camera, that made almost from metal, humidity not give a big problem than electronic ones that made from some kind of plastic and rubber. That is a reason why I like mechanical camera than the electronic one ... quite easy to maintain and cheaper... * Nikon EL, 1977 ..... *.. sorry my English is very weak.... but I try my best to make a good posting here....
