Give me tips on what Film SLR to buy please. Am thinking the Nikon F5.. I can buy it here for $200.00 in mint condition. Will use this camera next semester.[br]Posted on: December 08, 2006, 10:54:02 PM_________________________________________________I need two by the way the other one should be a manual control camera.. Thinking Nikon FM10 which I can get for less than $100.00.. Any suggestions? Nikon lineups only. Thanks.

I'd be happy with just a Nikon F80/N80. I wouldn't really need the 8fps. And you could get it for less than half the price of the F5.
I really doubt if you'll be using a film cam for long. If you plan to go film professionally most use medium format.

Or if you really want to go old school try a Nikkormat FS. It did me good for a looooooooooooooong time :mrgreen:

my master john chua started with this cam a loaner cam that was now he's using mamiya with phase one digital backs, canon and nikon dslrs and a lot more.
will post a pic tom. of his current equipment.

Yes won't be using it for long. Just gettin back to basic and the darkroom stuff. Thanks abortretryfail, I'll check prices for the F80/N80.

sold my f80s with grip and data back a long time ago at $200.00. at least someone still had some use for it. i'm now looking for a nikon F at a giveaway price to complete my F line. currently i have the f2, f3, and f5. waiting for my friend to give me his old F4 for free. the F6 will have to wait coz the prices don't seem to drop that fast.

[Ian]

Might get the F5 and the FM10.. all in great condition to a price of $250.00 not bad at all.. and will sell them out after using.. hahaha..
