Am starting this thread to promote a sense of camaraderie amongst the Nikon users who own and still use Film SLR cameras. Some of you may also own DSLR's but for discussion sake lets keep this thread to just 1 favorite film slr.
My favorite Nikon SLR has to be the F3hp. I love how it looks! I love how it feels on my hands....solid...with just the right mass...the buttery smooth manual film winder...and the sound it makes when you press the shutter release...a very authoritative "CLUNK".
At times when i have Leica M envy...i will lock the mirror and use the distance scale on my manual lenses ( using hyperfocal focusing ) and you get a very nice & discreet ..."CLICK"
The version i use is the F3/T, which has a titanium body instead of the usual brass alloy. I have done away with the standard K screen and instead use the H1 red dot focusing screen, which i find very bright and easy to focus with.
