Ivan’s Marathon
Nikon N70
28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D AF Nikkor
Kodak Max 400

Tomorrow I’ll share my review of the Nikon N70, a 1994 35mm SLR. It’s got a crazy user interface that most people hate.
I put two rolls of film through this camera to test it, and one of them was good old Kodak Max 400. I took it up to Thorntown with a few other cameras for an afternoon of photography. Ivan’s Marathon is a favorite subject that I’ve featured on this blog many times. I always shoot it pretty much straight on like this.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Looking forward to reading the review. I’ve always been curious about the N70. I’ve often wondered if it was actually as poor as it gets portrayed or if it’s just so different from the traditional Nikon user experience that it sticks out like a sore thumb. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
Spoiler: it’s just different.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!
I hope it’s a good day for your family!
This looks like my kind of place. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
It’s definitely off the beaten path!
Jim, the N70 was the first auto focus SLR I ever used, I bought it new back in 1997.
I didn’t think the interface was that hard to use, and it eliminated focusing errors by yours truly.
It did develop the “sticky back” syndrome after some years, but it still works great.
It’s a good camera, once you get used to the interface!
Happy Thanksgiving! We already gave thanks several weeks ago and although there are many things wrong there remains much to be thankful about.
It’s good to make ourselves remember the good things.
