#nikon_f6 I'd rather have a F2 or F3 in excellent shape used than this camera. In my opinion the F4 was the best of the Nikon SLRs if you needed autofocus and the F2 or F3 (toss-up) if not.
Then again 80% of my photography was with 2 1/4 TLRs or M Leicas.

#nikon_f6 Expensive but you just can't pay enough for that kind of quality... I've got a Nikon thats practically a family heirloom now, would sell now for a lot more then it was originally worth - even taking into account inflation.
