  • Excerpt: After years of shooting with an autofocus Nikon F60, I wanted to get back to full control using my excellent manual focus Nikon prime lenses.
  • Pros: Power winder, program modes, very intuitive if you grew up on older Nikons
  • Cons: No stop-down preview mode

  • Excerpt: Back in 1985, I first saw the Nikon F301 and fell in love. £250 with 50mm lens was the right price for this camera.
  • Pros: 2.5 FPs motor wind, TTL flash metering, DX decoding
  • Cons: Manual film rewind, AAA batteries as standard, offset tripod mount

  • Conclusion: Att använda: 5 Hållbarhet: 4 Min första Nikon inköpt 1985 i paket med ett 50mm f1.8 objektiv. (Sedan var jag fast i systemet).
  • Pros: En bra modern kamera på sin tid som tog fina bilder. Använder 4st std. AAA batterier. Första Nikon med inbyggd motor som klarade 2,5bilder per s.
  • Cons: Saknade knapp att blända ner objektivet för skärpedjupskontroll. Är heldöd utan batteri (som alla nya kameror). Inte lika robust som FE2 ;-)

  • Pros: Det aller første kameraet fra Nikon med innebygd motor (2,5 bps) og uten sveiv, men likevel lite og kompakt, selv etter dagens standard. Robust og driftssikkert gjenno...
  • Cons: Ingen nedblendingsknapp for kontroll av dybdeskarphet. Batteriavhengig.
