[QUOTE="stmv, post: 70756, member: 10038"] laughs,, are your nuts? testing them each with film, and developing will eat into your profits, unless you plan on testing with BW and developing yourself? Yes, this was a the start of the consumer grade AF cameras, this and the 6006 formed their core, and they sold like hot cakes. The critical decision (unlike Canon), was the decision to stay backwards compatible,, YES! Thank God. Because of this decision, the F100 continued on, and then digital, and to this day we can still attach old Nikon stuff on the latest gear. So,, from a historical perspective intesting, from an investment perspective, well, guess you can try to sell off now 11 cameras and see what you get (ok maybe 9, keep a couple for fun). I have one of these kicking around in my pile of old stuff, but if I am going to shoot film, I prefer the FA or F3 over these clunky 1st generation AFs, or pick up a F100, now that was really the start of the sleak look. what I would do with these is think of other creative shots to take with so many of the same camera.
