My other camera is a F2a Photomic November 17, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this camera as a back up to my F2, my baby. I wanted SLR that I didn't have to worry about getting damaged, stolen, etc. I've run a couple of rolls through it and what can I say? It does EXACTLY what its supposed to. It accepts all of my older Nikkor lenses AND my newer auto-focus Sigma zooms. It has a strong metal shutter, the viewfinder is bright and crisp (especailly after adding a f1.4 50mm lens). Now, its not a FM3a, a FM2(2), or even a FM. But, it has A LOT more features than a Pentax K1000. I haven't attepmted using any of my macro equipement on it yet, but I am almost positive it will work. Its a nice basic manual film camera that one can use their nikkor lenses with. My biggest fear is the cameras overall construction, the shutter is solid, but the body....worries me a bit, its not metal. I do pamper my equipment, so only time will tell. If you're even slightly interested in this camera, you'll probalby need to make up your mind soon. As many of us know, Nikon has discontinnued all manufacturing and develpoment of all film cameras. Whatever is currently being sold now is whatever stock that is leftover since Nikon discontinnued anything film. All around film SLRs have now become a rarity, especailly manual ones........Something about something called digital (?)
 Bad News Camera September 30, 2007

The most flimsy camera Nikon has ever made with a very bad lens. Junk. Most used Nikon film cameras are much better than this.
 A good basic FILM SLR camera for epileptics May 3, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
For the money, this is a good buy. You actually get a case with it, too. The camera strap triangular rings do not fit the camera body properly, a very slight annoyance.
Unlike a lot of inexpensive SLRs both the camera body lens mount and the lens bayonet mount are metal. ( The lens itself is primarily plastic but I was pleasantly surprised that the bayonet itself was metal )
From an epileptics point of view there is nothing blinking or flashing which is a real blessing! ( All there are are three exposure range LEDs visible on the left side of the viewfinder - < + O - >.
Since this camera does not have an adjustable eyepiece for the viewfinder, if you need glasses, you will also have to buy the eyepiece diopter correction lens ( Note that the value you need is for distance, not for reading so if your normal distance glasses are +2, get a +2 diopter correction lens! If you have a local Nikon dealer it is probably better to buy this locally, otherwise you may end up with a box of correction lenes )
I also reviewed the Nikon F6 SLR film camera. Too much blinking. It is trivial for these manufactures to provide an accessibility menu for people who are 1) color blind ( when there is a color display then colors should be selectable ) 2) visually impaired ( have an optional display with larger characters/numbers ) and 3) epileptic ( disable all that useless blinking ). Good luck, none of these manufactures have heard of the ADA.

I received my camera very quickly. Everything was in the box that I needed, the camera was undamaged, and everything looked to be in tip-top shape! Excellent service!
Great camera, good price February 8, 2008

The camera is even beyond my expectations! And I did have some good ones! Although it's totally manual it's not so hard to use (I read the instruction manual in about 10 minutes...). I could make some very good shots even in adverse light situations. It's a very good camera for those who like taking pictures their own way, instead of just pushing a button and hoping it goes out fine. Besides, a digital camera nearly as good as this is probably at least twice the price.
