Postby redline on Fri Oct 21, 2005 7:48 pm

A F5 is suitable for your request and it's not exepensive otherwise a F6 will do the job for you.

FE, F801, FA would all suit your needs and should not be overly expensive.

AF or MF???

Nikon Mount?

It may be hard to find a Nikon body for too much under AUD200 especially if you are after AF with MLU

Hi Redline,

I have a spare Nikon F90 camera you could buy if you're interested (I have 2 of this model) you could have it for $175 if you're interested.

Regards

Tony

ps if you're interested I'd be prepared to chuck a roll of film through it as I haven't used it for for a while now...
All I know, is that I don't know enough.....

Does the F801 or F90 can overdrive the ISO?
I have one but long time no touch so I wonder if it's.
