Dave Hartley

I’ve used Nikon equipment exclusively throughout my photographic career. Back in the good old film days, my first camera was an F-601 (N6006), then progressing to an F90x (N90s), and finally to an F5. Transitioning to digital, my first body was a D2h, followed by the D2x; I’m currently the using the D3 and D3x.
