Finally Fixed the D70
I have had a Nikon D70 digital SLR camera for several years now, but it has been out of commission for the last two. Something happened to the lens that came with the standard kit, so the camera couldn’t Autofocus. I had to shoot everything in Manual mode, which, not being much of a photographer, left me with very few usable pictures. I ended up buying a small point-and-shoot camera instead, and let my D70 gather dust.
But then I started feeling guilty that I was letting such an expensive camera simply sit around, so I finally bought a replacement lens from an online store. The lens is not a Nikon, but it’s compatible with the brand and thus far has worked just fine. I paid $219 for the lens, plus another $29 for a new compact flash card since I couldn’t find the old one, and now have a very good digital SLR at my disposal again.
I’m not sure why I waited so long to get a replacement lens for this camera. I should have just done this as soon as the problem occurred!
