Quick aside... the N80 I think is Nikon's best deal in 35mm slrs. Amazing camera and insanely cheap.
But the one thing I don't like about it vs the F100 and F6 (yeah I know they are much more expensive etc) is the shutter release on the N80 feels kinda squishy.
Whereas the fancy cameras have that satisfying snappy release feeling. If you don’t mind an absolutely gigantic beast the F5 is probably the best deal for Nikon 35mm SLRs. I picked one up recently for around $150. It works perfectly. Autofocus on D lenses feels like it’s going to break the lenses it’s so powerful. 😂
I only intend to use it around the house, and probably mostly with a waist level finder or no finder at all and auto focus. Not a camera I’d wear around my neck though while out and about.
Yeah I played with one briefly. Way way too much camera for me to shoot 35mm film!
