As well as an FG and Nikkormat EL (both in sexy black). I just bought an F2 Photomic in a large lot this week. But he won't part with it, even though he hasn't used it in 10 years or more. Fine camera.įunny you should mention it, I've been trying to talk a friend into selling me his F3HP with motor drive and several lenses (including a 180mm).
I like the 1/3 stop shutter speeds with the F5, and because of the extra weight I like it with long lenses, but prefer the F3 for about anything else. I believe that was in the spring of 2000. I bought mine a month or so after my F5, and had to special order it. No telling how many they actually produced. I don’t know if this is a fact or not, as I cannot remember the magazine or author, but I did read that Nikon continued production longer than planned due to increased demand. I now prefer the F3 to the F5.I read that too. After having the F5 for a couple of years I think I like the F3 better so I went on Ebay and bought a used F3HP and an MD-4. Out of curiosity about AF and matrix metering I bought the F5. the F3HP body was $1300 and the MD-4 was a bit over $500. In 2002 I was considering either another F3 or the F5. I bought an F3HP in 83 but sold it in 86 due to financial problem. I doubt that after 1996 when the F5 was introduced not too many F3 were sold.
