I'll agree, now that we have some serial numbers, that more DCS 100's must have been produced than our original values of 100-200. I can see 1000 as a decent production run... if so, wonder where they are all? I only know of about 4 DCS 100 sets, which if taken from overall production means only abo...

Dan, I don't think they modified much at all on the actual DCS100 during production; the different serial numbers may seem out of sequence but it's possible that they were produced only as ordered, perhaps several days or weeks apart, and instead gained serial numbers relating to the week or julian ...

Dan, Congratulations on your purchase! Quick answers; The K370-xxxx serial number is seemingly always a K370 and then different 4-digits. The 2 examples I know of do not have any sequence or order to the last 4-digits... they are not sequential between the 3 units (camera, back, or winder). There ma...

Jarle, my mistake, only the 2nd listing discusses buying it from Naval Spawar ... I got the 2 auctions mixed up. However, comparing my E2s serial numbers (5100035 and 520007) I'm still doubtful/ suspicious that the Fujix version would be numbered the same 5200xx series.... my Fujix 505a's are number...

Here's the serial numbers from my E2/E3 series:

Fujix DS-505a: 7100015 and 730049

Nikon E2s: 5100035 and 520007

Niikon E3s: 9100024

Dan, Do you have one to sell? :-) or are you looking for one? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!! I'm one of the people that's bought a DCS-100 unit piecemeal... not as a single kit. The camera ran me a little under $500 (Nikon F-3 w/ DCS 100 back- the F-3 probably accounted for 95% of the cost! :-( a...

I'd offer a note of caution here.... seller has 0 feedback, and could trying to scam an auction using different pictures and information taken off the web. Although a camera like this isn't a real high-value item, I've know of more expensive items being sold once, then a few weeks later the apparent...

I do have the 20-35mm AF-D lens, tried it on an E2 and E3- no vignetting, full frame image.

I don't think you'd have any vignetting on an E2/E3 series if the same lens didn't on the F4.

I bid on right after Stan did, didn't realize he was going to bid on it.... I'll not bid any more, so it's your's if you want it! PS, if you do end up with it but can't fix it, I'll be interested in the mode select switch for parts (blue edged wheel at the back right ) mine's broken on my E3s. Nathan

Stan, The E3s is yours.. or Nikon Kiu can get it, or the next one if he's still in the auction. I hadn't checked in on this board in a while to see who was bidding on it, didn't realize that Stan was going to go ahead... so it's his if he wants it. I've already got a E3s, this one was just going to ...

I'm kind of interested in this one for parts and the battery... but how easy does one actually think it would be to replace the shutter button? (It also is missing the on/off rotating ring that is underneath /around the shutter button?

Jarle- Congratulations on your find! Lets see some pictures, so that I can stop drooling and slobbering on my keyboard! Actually, the drooling is my 2-year old son, who can't understand why daddy is not playing Sesame Street on the computer with him and instead is looking a some funny pictures and w...

SAGE was quite the system... I've researched that system as a side-trip into early man-machine interface protocol/ user input. If I recall, they used light-activated "guns" (actually, pointers) to query/ locate targets displayed on the radar screen. Somewhere on the web there is a pretty d...

I'll try to generalize, since there may still be some companies that haven't revealed who they made products for. (At one time there were about 150 different businesses or so whose relationship with a certain "Customer" was classified) The one "specific customer" that Stan mentio...

If this is still allowed- I'm posting without any vested interest in the item, as I'm not the seller and I'm not going to bid on it- I'm just posting the link just for others who may be interested. (If Not, the the Moderator is welcome to remove it) WARNING/ NOTE: it's being sold without the power s...
