Not the new "E" lenses that have an electronically controlled ApertureDo you mean G lenses? I though E were all manual focus, and the F6 was compatible with all lenses expect for F3AF?
I checked Nikon site, all I see are a few MF lens, a few D lens and newer G lens which do not have an manually controlled aperture only electronic and these are compatible with the F6, for that matter the F5, F100 and N80. Can you direct me a link about the new E lens? One the reasons I forgot to mention when I was considering a F6 was that VR lens will work on a film body, Minolta and Sony has VR in the camera body so no VR for film cameras.
The F6 is the only option for a new camera with full warranty that will likely be serviceable for the near term.
Don't know about #2, but regarding #1, I don't think there's any one definitive answer or reason. As has been mentioned, it's the pinnacle of Nikon film offerings - a true "pro" body throughout. Yes, the metering and auto focus are (were?) top notch.If i may ask.....
1. Why pay this much for a 35mm film camera.? Is it for auto focus, or maybe a spot meter.?
2. Not being snarky or argumentative, i am just curious, but.....Don't all companies support all of their cameras, until the time when they stop "supporting" them. Is it the fact that, as of today, the F6 is the only 35mm film camera that Nikon will still repair.?
Thank You

It's quiet and fast, with a very nearly foolproof matrix metering system. .
99% of the time any of my MF manual Nikons are perfect. It's really when u want to use AF and the doo-dads..I only shoot manual, so some of that "stuff" has not much meaning To Me..... and is why i decided to stop at the F3 and not buy an F4. Again, this is just me, not dissuading or downplaying anybody that likes the F6
What makes it easier to focus than any other 35mm SLR.?
Is it the amount of light in the VF.?
Thank You
