What about the FM10? I heard it's a pretty good manual camera.
epharis, I have a absolutely fantastic 105mm f/2.5 Ais, and will probably add something wide-ish too...
All good points about the F3. If Nikon had managed to put a normal hotshoe on that body for easy flash work, it would be a truly perfect camera.

I would seriously consider the F3HP as a good all round camera, regardless whether it is your main camera, or secondary camera.

I have one too.
I recommend you consider the 24mm f2 AIS or 35mm f1.4 AIS. I love 'em both. Add a 50mm f1.4 AIS and the 105mm f2.5 AIS you mention and I could photograph forever and not need any additional lenses.
If you don't wear glasses, the F3 with the standard DE-2 finder can be had for a little less money and has slightly higher magnification (.8x vs. .75x) than the DE-3 (high-eyepoint) finder.
Amund, I have found that it is normally a matter of time, before most of us wear glasses!

A late vote for the venerable F2. ... They ... have a 100% viewfinder (the F3, if I recall, was either 96 or 98%).
The F2 goes for a lot more than even F5`s in good condition, so it`s not on my list... And it`s...ugly...
Anyhoo, a friend just offered me to buy his just-CLA`ed Rolleiflex 3.5F (Planar) at a price I just can`t refuse, so I`ll put the F3 on hold for a few weeks...
