At first I thought it was early onset retardation on my part, and that I may have accidentally flipped something or pressed something and caused her to get all PM-essy, but her autofocus stopped working and she refused to show me anything on the LCD, so after clicking and pushing, twisting and turning and even swapping out lenses and batteries, I laid her to rest in my camera bag and sent out an SOS email to Nikon, who, as luck would have it, serviced her 3 months ago, with the service warranty expiring last week. (I haven't gotten a response from them yet...)
Balls.
And she's so beautiful, with her little 50 f/1.4... :(

[/caption]I'm going to be seriously upset if I have to pay to get her fixed AGAIN, and even more upset if I'm forced to contemplate sell(sniff)ing her, since a few posts back we established that I'm a hoarder.
Which is not to say I won't get over it pretty quickly if Santa brings me a D3s for Christmas:)

I'm so sorry! Just to relate this to me. i had some equipment that stopped working within like a month of a warranty running out and Nikon still honored the warranty. i find them to be good folks there. Oh, but a D3s. OMG. Dreams upon dreams. :) Good luck and I hope you're back shooting soon!
ReplyDeleteFrom Katie's experience above, I think you'll be ok.
ReplyDeleteMarkie's going to serve you well in her absence.
D3s would be great. I think Santa will take care of you, just remember he'll be checkin' his list of naughty and nice :)
Thanks so much for the light at the end of the tunnel Katie - love your blog - I'm now following:) And if I get that D3s I'm coming to NM to use it!
ReplyDeleteAs for Markie - once that 70-200 is attached to him he's in danger of being cameranapped...consider yourself warned:)
*Going to build myself a chimney so SC doesn't have an excuse!*
Yes, get the D3 and come to NM! :) Good luck!
