From a posting in on March 6th, 2000 in Nikon MF Mailing List:

YOU MIGHT BE A NIKON GEEK IF:

* You have more than one 'E' grid focusing screen

* You have the exact factory screwmount lens hood for every Nikon lens you own

* You have a finder illuminator clip for your F2A

* You have all the battery pack options for your F4

* You have actually used an action finder

* You are depressed because you already own every Nikon lens you can afford

* You get almost as excited over a Nikon F as over a Highliner F

* You believe Canon needs an extra N and makes HO diesel parts

* You think interchangeable finders are cool

* You know why its not a good idea to change the battery on a loaded motor-drive F2

* You know what NAI, AI'd, AI, AIS, AF, AF-D, and AF-I mean, and care

* Your F waistlevel finder will fit your F2 but you buy the F2 waistlevel anyway so the nameplate will match

* You have PX625 mercury batteries in the freezer for your FtN meter

* You know the difference between a Photomic, Photomic T, Tn, and Ftn meter

* You know what "Nippon Kogaku" means.

* You have duplicate items - both with and without "Nippon Kogaku"

* You have little black plastic finder caps for almost all your F finders

* You bid $10 on Ebay for a little black plastic finder cap... and lost

* You can watch a TV show with a motor drive Nikon being used and identify the camera and motor drive by its sound

* You know what to use black electrical tape for when on the road with your camera bag

Andy.... guilty as charged
