Searching for Cars & Coffee

Today’s Post by Joe Farace

With Labor Day coming up in just a few days, car show season is starting to wane. While Espresso & Exhaust in Parker, Colorado is a year-round, weather-or-not event, other show aren’t scheduled during the winter months. So before the snow starts to fall and people lock up their classic, collector and just plain interesting cars for the Winter I’m hoping to attend, at least, a few more shows that I can photograph with one of my film cameras. In fact, I am currently tracking a few nice used Nikon F4’s on eBay now that I am seriously considering purchasing. And would really like to shoot it or one of my Canon or Contax film SLRs at any remaining Cars & Coffee events or any car shows in general.

So I’m calling on all my wonderful blog reader to let me know if there are any car shows left this year that are within a reasonable driving distance of Parker, Colorado. Please click the CONTACT tab and let me know all the details. Thanks.

 

The Nikon F4 is a 35 mm autofocus SLR film camera that was introduced in 1988 as the next generation in Nikon’s line of F series professional cameras. With industrial design by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the F4 was the first professional Nikon to feature autofocus. The F4 accepts any of Nikon’s manual focus or AF lenses from 1959 to the present day, including the two F3AF lenses (in Autofocus mode). The F4 succeeded the F3, a manual focus camera introduced in 1980 but outlasted the F4 as it stayed in production until 2001. All F4 models were discontinued soon after, in May 1997.
