Remember if you are looking for an F and want one that really works, Pete Smith at Nikonsmith has over 300 F's!! Some working, some for parts. Tell him what you want and he will have it or assemble it. The man is the F Master bar none. And a nice guy.

You are my hero. I only have 3 F's (two black, one chrome ) and two F2's (both black).

I have a FM3a and recently got an F for $25!! then had it modified into an RF type shutter (another story). Never thought I would say this but now that I am not afraid of a meterless camera (thank you M3), the F rocks and rocks!

Kshapero, this is triggering my curiosity.
Could you please let us know about the modification of your F to RF type shutter ?
Thanks
 
It was Spock's birthday a couple days ago... 🙂

Note how he is holding the camera...I tried this with my eyelevel and discovered that the viewfinder is so good I don't have to put it all the way up to my eye to make a snap...
