While there's a certain old-school charm to the old F and F-2 Nikons, if you need a film body to use with some Nikon lenses and you just want to get the job done, this is *the* setup - very solid reliable and user-friendly body, and a very nice well-integrated reliable motor without all the quirks of the MD-1 and MD-2. I had one of these for a while and loved it. Someday when I finally land that Nikkor 6mm lens for less than the cost of a car, and I need a body to hang on it, this will be the setup.

Brassing, that's not brassing, there's still black paint showing

Great, durable camera at a great price, somebody will get a good deal (if I didn't already have a couple I'd be all over this one)

This is one of the cameras I used while in the Army, after a long day of shooting you could pound tent stakes in with it. They are wonderful boxes.

Apparently people aren't buying tent stake hammers these days

I would absolutly love to hook up all the photographers in some big newspapers with these cameras and steal their digitals for a day I would just love to see what would happen.

Like Erie, I've enough bodies lying around, but, if I didn't own my F3P and didn't care whether or not I could use an ISO foot equipped flash on the prism, I'd be all over yours. Bump for a nice camera that needs to go to someone who'll continue to love it and take care of it in the same manner you've done with it.
