I have a Nikon n8008s my Aunt passed down to me about 7-8 years ago . . . works flawlessly but is VERY complex (and capable) but I prefer simple, mechanical cameras with a light meter. KEH gets about $70 for a Excellent Condition n8008s condition body . . . so it is not very highly regarded probably due to its complexity and the fact that Electronic film cameras are difficult to repair..
I got two Nikon lenses with the camera . . .
1: AF Nikkor 28-85mm f 3.5-4.5
2: AF Nikkor 75-300mm f 4.5-5.6
Are these lenses compatible with the older Nikon bodies??
Lenses are in like new condition . . . shot a roll of Tri X with it today with no issues using both lenses. Hope to process this roll in a week or so (still setting up/building ) my darkroom after a move.
I have settled on a Nikon F or F2 body. If you would recommend another Mechanical Nikon . . . which one and why? Remember . . the ONLY THING I want the battery to do is run the exposure meter.
Thanks
