I've not owned a Nikon... There's still time. The Df looks interesting, and there's one here , but the price is a bit rich, and I have no Nikon lenses... |

Zf, body only, new...nearly twice the price of the Df above... I could buy a Canon RP for less than the Df above. |

I have a Nikon F50 film camera, with a 50mm lens, and also a dozen rolls of film...I really must get out more!

I was given a F801s about three years ago, ended up somehow buying a FM and now a FA.
Very nice cameras to use. Can't understand why the 801s go for so little in the shops.

S They suffer from being the autofocus era of film SLRs, none of these tend to have much financial value. I bought two F80s for very low figures, the beauty of this particular model is that they support IS on AF-S G type lenses, so as well as providing stabilisation on the film camera the lenses are seamless with the DSLRs and are adaptable to Z mirrorless. The cameras which largely are doing best are the later MF SLRs, particularly the FM2 & FM2n, which are light and robust, I have an FM2n but prefer to use the F80 in the main. In truth I actually prefer the FE2 to the FM2n due to the availability of aperture-priority auto-exposure. I have a pair of these, they are nice to handle and see the odd bit of use. |

I still have, but rarely use, my last two film era Nikons, a pair of F5s bought new nearly 30 years ago. |

S Sluggish AF doesn't help. The first Nikon with competitive AF was the F90X, which was basically 2 generations on from the F801s. I inherited an F801s from my father in law, and it's not a bad camera apart from that - the lower level F601 was what I was thinking of buying many years ago, but it was completely outclassed by the Dynax 7xi and the EOS 100 that I ended u buying. The F801s couldn't match these two either in terms of AF speed, but it was a much more likeable camera than the F601 and the Minolta IMHO. |
