Newsflash

Portraiture can be very rewarding. It's a chance to show the best side (literally) of someone, and create a photo that communicates something unique. The first rule of good portraiture is LOOK at your subject. This sounds obvious but take a browse through all the shots you have of your family and friends and see if they don't have a sameness about them. Head and shoulders, passport photos, awkward poses, uncomfortable expressions, blank looks, embarrassed smiles...?

nikon d70s Considering buying a Nikon D70s, have questions...  
Hi, all!!  Long-time film guy (both 35mm and Medium Format), and I've been toying with the idea of getting a Nikon D70s body for use with some existing AF and MF lenses, and want searching for some input beyond what I've already read on DPReview.com. My main concern is losing the use of a couple of my favorite AF lenses, currently used on my workhorse F4s and FM3A.  I have a Tokina 28-80 AF-X Pro f/2.8 lens that I use 80% of the time: losing the use of this lens might ( might ) be a deal breaker, but I'm open to comments and suggestions.  Will I still be able to use the new Matrix Metering with this lens?  If not, what kind of metering will be available with this lens?  Other lenses I'm concerned about losing are the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AF and a Vivitar 100-400 AF f/4.5. Can I use my old Nikon SB-25 flash on this body? I've seen LCD sizes on various sized running from 1.8 (CNet; this is the original D70, no?), 2 (most sites), and 2.5 (a couple comments on this UseNET group).  The D70s has the 2 LCD, yes? Also noticed that the max shutter speed is 30 seconds; what about longer shots (amateur astro photo shots)?  Bulb setting or timed shots longer than 30 seconds? I typically shoot film in the ISO 50-100 range for color slides (and 100-400 for B&W); has anyone seen any issues with a minimum ISO setting of 200 on this body?  Noise above what I could get with ISO 50 on a film body? Can I use a standard cable release on this body?  Looks like it's electronic only now... Is the D70s scheduled for discontinuation any time soon?  I noticed the 'S' model just came out last year but with Nikon discontinuing the FM3A so shortly after putting it on the market... Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.  Best price I've seen is at Adorama, so I'll probably buy the body (not kit) from them or B&H. Thanks! Jack
