Dood. I bought two for about $20 each a year or so ago! I use them more than my F6! They will always be sticky - use that to your advantage to get a cheeeep price. That stickiness cleans right off with a cloth, isopropyl alcohol and 15 minutes of your time.
One thing I really like about the N80/f80 is the custom setting that projects a grid line on the focus screen. I have that on permanently as it makes it super easy to level things. I don’t think any other film Nikon has that feature. My F4, F100, F6 didn’t.
But the one thing to watch out for is a broken door latch. Nikon in their wisdom made them out of plastic on the non single F af SLR models after the N90. So the n60/65/70/75/80/100 have plastic door latches. First off obviously make sure the camera you get has a working latch. Then to keep it that way never snap the back shut when you load film. Always hold up the latch, close the back, then release the latch.
And this is why we need a film forum.Not going to lie I started researching Nikon film bodies now 
And Fred is starting to shoot film, so I think we might get a film forum!
I’ll probably be selling my Mamiya 7 and use my Hasselblad for medium format. No rush to decide. But these Nikons even have autofocus and I can use my 28 1.4, 58 1.4 and 100 1.4 nikon F lenses that basically just sit. So I might get one to play around with it! Haha. What’s the difference between the N80 and say the F100?AF-S "E" lenses like the 28 and 105 will autofocus on the later AF film SLR's and VR will work, but they can't control aperture so those lenses will always be wide open. So N80, N75, F100, F5, F6, etc. Can't get around the aperture problem. The 58 f/1.4G would work just fine, though.
Between N80 and F100, the F100 is mostly made of metal. The N80 is mostly plastic. Although a lot of F100's had a plastic fork which could break. The F100 feels better in the hand, but functionally there's really no reason to buy one over an N80 unless you just want one.Thanks, interesting about the 28 and 105 always being wide open. Can I stop down the aperture on the lens itself and it work?The E lenses need to be told to stop down electronically, and unfortunately there's no physical way to stop them down like with the G lenses.
Thanks yeah I just looked at the lenses and realized there is no aperture ring. So those two E lenses would be usable but only wide open; but the G lens works fine? Do any of the Nikon film cameras work with the E lenses?

Oh yeah the N80 is the superior photography tool, I just tend to use mine interchangeably with the N75's. There's room on my shelf for any one of these cameras that I happen across for under $50

Not a one. The G lens will work just fine on the N80, but even some of the earlier DSLR's are unable to stop the E lenses down.

At the St Louis Contemporary Art Museum. The building and grounds were better than the exhibits. 501CM + Portra 800.
In 2002, my wife had written a paper for her Art History Class about Artemisia Gentileschi's 1613 painting of Judith Beheading Holofernes. She won an award for the paper and found the St. Louis Art Museum was going to have the painting on display. One of my nieces was getting married just outside of Philadelphia and we decided to make a stop on our flight from Portland, Oregon. It was the early years of booking hotel/motel rooms online and my wife found a room in a nice hotel not far from the museum. We landed and took a taxi to the hotel and when we got to the desk to check in, found out that we did indeed have reservations but for the same dates the following year. There was a large convention in town and one of the long time sportscasters had just passed away bringing in even more people. Bottom line was, no room at the inn. We we flummoxed but the woman behind the desk asked if we would mind staying in one of the dorms at Washington University. Being our only choice, we accepted. The taxi delivered us to the recently opened School of Business, which had been designed to accommodate both professors and visitors from a variety of businesses and industries, It was, in short, spectacular. The bonus was, we were within walking distance of the museum. It was great.
My niece had an outdoor wedding at the end of June in S.E. Pennsylvania. This is the height of lightning bug/firefly season. Every time a flash went off, all of the lightning bugs wanted to attract that one and would flash as loog as they could.
It was a memorable trip.

Another “mistake”. I had been shooting with 120 film for a couple days and not as much 35mm. When the 35mm roll was done, I opened up the bottom before rewinding…again! Oh well, I’ve come to appreciate light leaks as character. M7 + Portra 800.If you shop wisely you should be able to get that for about $150. Or one Leica lens cap…
Never have to worry about forgetting to rewind the film!

N80 arrived - super sticky back. But 10 mins of rubbing alcohol seemed to have fixed it like you said. There’s a faint white residue left.
Aside from the stickiness it is in fantastic condition. The flash works and the door latch works. The camera looks brand new inside. What a deal! Ran a test roll through it seemed to work perfectly. It rewound the roll all the way into the canister. If only I didn't just sell my 35 1.4 G lens, but the 58g seems to work just fine.

I noticed w your first shots they are partially light leak exposed with the Hassie. This also happens to me when I get my 120 developed by my lab BUT NOT when I develop it myself. So both your and my labs are being sloppy when loading the film into their developing machine. I just shot a bunch of colour 120 and will talk to my lab when I drop it off.
