What 35's have a data back that prints between the frames?

If one uses the MF23/24 with a N8008s (which is similar to the F4), and uses other brands of MF lenses with adapters, what would one expect to see printed?
 

I think that's what we're talking about. (at least what I was listing)
F6
F5 with back
F4 with back
F80s
 
This was in a file I had on my computer, can't guarantee accuracy nor completeness

- The MF-21 offers the basic functions of a standard quartz clock unit. The MF-20 is for date, time and serial numbering functions. In conjunction with the basic features it can also imprint shutter speed / aperture settings and double as an intervalometer for programmed controlled exposures

Do you have those cameras?
Have you seen them together?
If you try that, let me know the result.

One thing I can answer to you: if you use any Nikon Manual Focus lens on these cameras, you won't have any indication of the aperture used as there are no electronic contacts on the lenses.
 

Unless you enter non-CPU data (F6)
 
Interesting... I wonder how fast I could be using a manual lens and manually scale up or down the speed and aperture data on the back. Otherwise, just stick to AF lenses with CPU communication...
 
I've installed "chips" on a couple non cpu lenses. Works well other than focus indicator being more sensitive to low contrast situations on the F5. However the viewfinder works well enough it's a non issue.
 
Contax G2. The data back I think is aftermarket, but not very expensive.
 
Looks like only the F4 takes the MF-23 back, not the N8008s which seems to take only the MF-21
