TTL flash (corroded

I'd second that - the XR-2 is a fantastic camera. All manual, mirror
pre-fire via the self timer, DOF preview, PC jack, and a little window in

the aperture ring (current Nikon AF lenses must be set to minimum aperture for f-stop

The recent Nikon announcement of a 70-200 f/2.8
AF-S/VR "G" lens makes me furious. No more apeture
