I am going to answer my own post. Just in case someone else is looking for options..
Option #1
Nikon Intervalometer, MT-2. I have not found a single example of a price for this unit. I'm not sure if the MT-1 will work as well. Still, the concensus is that they're expensive.
Option #2
Homegrown solution. The remote terminal on the motor drive is quite simple (check photos on this website to see where it is). Close the two connectors and it takes a photo. all I need now is a simple timing circuit. I could possibly have it driven by a computer - but that's getting too complicated. You can test that with a knife (as I just did) :-) Greg3. From : Grzegorz Dostatni (dostatni@gmail.com)

Hello. I just bought a Nikon F3 with a MD-4 motor drive. What I am trying to figure out is what do I need to shoot some sequences (like a sprout raising out of the ground). Basically I want to shoot a single frame every xxx seconds. I know there should be something for that. I do know I can activate the self-timer and put the drive on continous. That way I can shoot a frame every 10 seconds, or about 6 minutes for 36 roll. That might be usefull for a sequence of a sunrise or something like that, but I'd like to have more control. Can anyone ponit me in the right direction? Greg4. From : Walt McKinney (Waltavion@AOL.com)

Jaime: Install a lens on the camera. Make sure the power switch is in the "on" position (with the red dot showing). Rotate the shutter speed dial to the "A" position. Depress the shutter release button part way. Look through the viewfinder at the liquid crystal display (LCD). The shutter speed should be displayed to show that the batteries have been properly installed and their power is adequate. If you see a dark, clear, steady readout of the shutter speed, then the battery(ies) are good. Some of the outer skin panels are made of brass. This is why when the paint wears through, it's called "brassing". This is the "gold" color you are seeing. Walt5. From : jaime (zuikkor@yahoo.com)

Hi to everybody! Since last december 22nd I bacame a Nikon F3 owner. I bought it used(196 dollars- equivalent currency in colombian pesos), It was covered with black painting (ordinary work)but underneat it looks gold color, Is it brass? the serial number isn't white as I've normally seen it, nor the model designation F-3. It is in good working condition, It came with a Nikkor 50 mm 1.4. After testing it, the results are very close to my olympus zuikos wich I had considered of inferior quality. But now i know they are similar. How can I check the batteries???? I haven't found a button to do it. Is it possible that a PRO model like this lack it? Thank you, Jaime.6.

Hello All and Season's Greetings. I have recently bought a very well used F3 in seemingly perfect working order. I like it very much. My question relates to the viewfinder. There is some dust and fungus on the inside of the glass, just behind (i.e., closer to my eye than) the red shutter. It's the 'ordinary' not HP viewfinder (DE-2). Is it possible / wise / not recommended to clean this part of the viewfinder? It's an aesthetic thing only, I'd enjoy a lovely clear view. The amount of 'dirt' does not affect my ability to focus. Thanks! Richard7. From : Hermann Graf (hermann.graf@basf-ag.de)

To Duncan: I use a lens where the filter ring rotates when focusing (Nikkor MF zoom 35-70mm/F3.3-4.5) on my F3 together with a linear polarizing filter, and I have not experienced any problems. Surely, you can also use a circular polarizer. Generally spoken, a circular polarizer is a must for AF camera bodies, where a linear polarizer interferes with the focusing and/or metering system. Compared with linear polarizer filters, circular ones are more expensive, and the effect on the picture is weaker.8. From : Roz (rozkl@hotmail.com)

Regarding the case for the F3 with MD-4 attached, I found a listing including pictures of it at a popular internet auction site some 3 years ago. It was in the maroon color like CF-20, 21 and 22, and was described as the CF-100. I have not come across another one since. Roz9. From : Gen Holst (genholst@exceite.co.uk)
