[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 283401, member: 13076"] So I'm looking to get a Nikon film camera. Well, actually I would like to just collect the vintage pro film cameras but have to decide which one to get first out of the Nikon F3 HP, Nikon F4s, or Nikon F5. I'm leaning toward the F4s for now because it has the best deals on Ebay (I'd like as mint as possible, and F3s and F5s mint go for a relatively pretty penny), while is also a very capable camera for its day (plus it can even use the G lenses). Any thoughts? I actually plan to try using the camera once in a while just for fun/nostalgia to shoot film, as I recently discovered a couple of roles of undeveloped film that I still need to get developed from I have no idea how many years ago, and that got me to thinking. I'd like to go out sometime with a digital and film Nikon together and do some comparison shooting as well. Also, I do have years of amateur and semi-pro experience with film SLRs, namely with a Minolta X-700 with a large collection of equipment, but never had the pleasure of shooting a Nikon film camera. So I have no problem using older film cameras, and was just curious what the preference was among the knowledgeable members here with these cameras. I've read a lot about the cameras already but always interested in more opinions. [/QUOTE]
