Heads up - F100 for $159

[rover]

How is the F100 with AI and AIS lenses? Is the focusing screen kind to MF lenses? Will the meter work in all modes?

If it's really an F5 they're trying to sell, even I'll lose my lunch at that price!

I'll refer you here for compatibility. http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.html

As to the screen, not sure. 🙂

Had a f100 never really got on with it maybe because had the f5 at the same time, sold them both, f4 on the other hand I think they are great still got 4 of them, they are really cheap most I've paid for one is £120 for a mint++.

It's a great camera, especially at that price, but I never got on w/ it. I pulled mine out of the box, fired the shutter, took some photos of it, and put it back in the box and sold it. The mirror slap was just too much. I ended up w/ an 8008s and loved it. My last one came from KEH and I bought it for $27! Fantastic camera. I also loved the F4s, but w/ an 80 -200 2.8D zoom you'll need to bulk up your muscles. None of my MF cameras weighs anywhere near what that setup weighed.
