going to purchase an f4s soon, but cannot decide between two offers.
#1 Nikon f4s with 50mm 1.8 af but auto focus does not work (strange, even though i do not plan on autofocusing) -$320
#2 Nikon f4s body only that has been professionally serviced (The mirror foam has been replaced, and the outfit has also been cleaned, lubed and adjusted) , -$275
both of the f4s are in 24k serial number range, cant find a 25k
what bothers me is what kind of event would cause an f4s autofocus system to stop working? and why would a nikon f4s body need services, ive heard these things are tank like and rarely need service
