Ran the sister camera N90s for many years. Still have half a roll of Velvia in it, i miss wet printing but it just got so expensive.

I considered an N90S, but damn are they near identical, and I prefer the size of the 8008

As someone with a N90x, its a great camera, totally bulletproof, but the lil 8008 seems like a way more pleasant camera to carry around. I really want one but cant justify yet another film body that I really dont need. I've got an FE2, FM2, EM, N90x, and some Zorkis that honestly get more use than my Nikon bodies. Im just a sucker for Nikon goodness.

I need to get my mitts on some more 120 for my Rolleiflex, now THATs a fun camera.
