I just received the PK-13 tube and was wondering how you determine what shutter speed to use since you cannot see the f-stop? And at what f-stop should be used?

Just wanted to tell you that this is a great site. I just got a used F3 because my old FTn was givng out after 30 years. Could not find what I needed to know at Nikon.com but this site answered almost every question. I read all 500 messages. The manual is wonderful. I also visited two sites recommended in the messages and plan to do business with them. This is one of the most helpful sites that I have ever found on the web. A lot of people seem to be looking for various accessories. If they go to Ebay, cameras, Nikon, and then search "F3", almost everything turns up there sooner or later.3.

I admire your web sites immensely. I recently acquired 2 cameras:
an F3 HPT and an F3 P and the MD-4 motordrive and the MF-18 data back. I would be grateful if any of you who had previously downloaded the "private" .pdf versions of manuals for any of these 3 items to e-mail them to me at my (unlimited space)internet service e-mail address: kingoroontheroad@msn.com
Thank you in advance! I am new to your message board, but I will enjoy reading it from now. Best wishes...5. From : Ryan (rsmiom@aol.com)

Hi everybody. I have enyoyed my used F3 hp since I got it from Ebay back in July. I can now vouch for it and amazed of its accurate metering system which is 80/20, somewhat of close to a spot metering system. One thing I found annoying is the slow shutter speed for flash. SO far ok for me but prefer for a faster one. Maybe Nikon can take this great model back to production with an improved shutter? But we doubt it because of high cost in production cost?
Anyhow I need some advise from readers who have ample experience with Nikon's 180 mm AF ED 2.8. I am drawn by its focal length and sharpness. I do plan to get one someday and maybe someone can tell me more of its legendary performance. THey cost like $400 in ebay, thanks.7. From : Roz (rozkl@hotmail.com)

Jon, the databack which imprints the date between the frames is the MF-18, which also leaves the film leader out, somewhat like a cross between the MF-14 (but with the data printed between theframes) and the MF-6B, which leaves the film leader out. The MF-18 is rather rare. Hope that helps.8. From : Jon Himing (waimairi@chch.planet.org.nz)

I am hoping someone can provide some info I can't seem to get a straight answer for.....
I have two genuine Nikon publications and one says that a MF-14 data back imprints the data in the film corner and the other (later date) says that it can imprint the data between frames......
Whats the deal???
Is there a MF-14 and a MF-14A or has the later publication made a typo?
All the info I have suggests the data is imprinted in the frame only.
Any clarification would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

From information I have, your camera dates from late 1988 or early 1989. Since Nikon doesn't keep records on manufacturing date vs serial number, I can't get any more accurate than that.
