Yes, Jeff, I still have that Rickenbacker strapped Nikon FM and quite a lot of colour and B&W films although I haven't taken a shot with it for 2 plus years. :mrgreen: I've been lazy recently, using only my Nikon P5100 DC (with which the 4003 BBR pics were taken) when my shutterbug gets itchy.

Here is my Red '85. She was a $700 BIN a few years ago. Most importantly, she is a great player.

Jeff, that's the nicest picture of the new inlays I've seen. Not half bad...

Alex, if you have the serial number of the stolen '76 4001JG and hopefully pictures, enter it in the registry as stolen and hopefully it can be located. It already has worked in at least 2 other instances I know of.

And welcome to RRF!
