Hey folks, I'm after a Nikon AF film body that will also work with G lenses (currently 18-35, 50/1.8) and is good enough to manual focus as well (50/1.2 and I've got my eye on the CV 58/1.4 too and may revisit the ZF50/1.4 too). Yes yes I know, I want everything.
I had a F5 and F100 and I don't want to down that weight and size. The F80 is the obvious choice for G lenses but is it any good to manual focus a fast 50?
The other choice that looks maybe better for manual focus is the F/N90? What do people think about it? G lenses seem to work, if with a bit of faff...?
Or should I really go back to the F100? F6 is out of budget.
Thanks for the advice!
