My first Nikon was an F2A Photomic-Black. I 1st shot 35 mm from a Mamiya Sekor with a 50mm F-? lens. Good learning experience. Developed my own film too. I became a stud with all my friends and others when I had saved up enough for an F2A Photomic ( As any reader can imagine). Once I had the basic body--with a sharp 50mm 1.4 lens, I had to add to my camera bag: an MD 4, a 70mm to 135mm Zoom, and a 28mm F-can't remember. I WAS a STUD around the campus of the University of Wyoming. I shot everything. I was a kinda dweebie fuck-up who smoked way too much dope back then, and tried to parlay some "I-know-some-shit" artistic know how on kids who were new to UW. Seems I wasn't Bullshiiting back then 'cause I've won a couple Central Wyoming Fair, and 1st Place Wyoming State Fair Awards. Talbot J Hauffe Nikon F5 Can't tell you what...

Wade I agree entirely with your comments re the MF-18. The user manual has no reference to any alarm but the Nikon "Photographic Accessories" and "Product Guide" literature both make mention of its alarm feature - "audible alarm continues 20 secs at preset time". I'm confused too............ Jon3. From : wade (wade@ogden.to)

The section on data backs asked for anyone who owned an
MF-18 to check their unit for an alarm function.
My MF-18 has no alarm buttons/modes/hidden features etc.
I scanned through the original manual and couldn't find
any reference to the word "alarm" at all.
What I *didn't* do was turn it on and scroll through the
various features because I don't have batteries handy for
it right now.

Does anyone have a pointer (URL or citation to book) to serial numbers crossed referenced to production year, to help me date an F3 body. The only cameras I've had were Leica CL & Zeiss Tesar mounted on Yashica FX-3 (an HS present to my daughter, who returned when there were auto focus PS. The F3 looks in good shape and feels incredibly solid after the FX-3; Nikon has lens range I'd want; liked the idea of removable prism. The only other thought would be the new FM-3A. Shop says it has no idea of "provenance;" knows nothing--year, comes from where? If I were doing this for a Leica, it would be in a HOVE book, I think. Stephan Gandy at www.cameraquest.com has a Nikon 3 page that dates the production run, i.e. begin 59 and gives starting number and total run, hence last number. It's good in lots of ways for collectors & all sorts of Voigtlander lens, adapters, etc. Any thoughts how to date an F3--if not serial numbers, possibly small aesthetic or functional details? Many thanks, Richard Moss7. From : Roz (rozkl@hotmail.com)

Job, while the SB-17 is not much of an upgrade except for bounce flash capability, the only other 'original' Nikon F3 TTL capable flash is the SB-16A. It is more powerful and versatile of course, not to mention the rather large dimensions! I have experimented with my SB-28 (with AS-4 adapter) using non-TTL automatic flash for direct illumination and bounce flash. In both cases the results were excellent. By the way the AS-4 automatically sets the sync speed of 1/80 and flash ready light in my F3. I also have two SB-12 (one for spare) but I sometimes find the pictures rather harshly lit. But they sure are compact and feels more durable than today's speedlights.8. From : job (dokitoedele@hotmail.com)

Hello All, I've had F3 for a while and never had a problem with it. Now out of blue, it dosen't work..... When I turn the film wind lever, the film sprocket turns fine BUT the film take up spool doesn't turn. (sometimes, it turns but never fully...) What do you think is the cause of this Would I be able to fix it myself if not, how much repair cost should I expect? Please help. I'd appreciate any info or suggestions on this. Thank you, Jae Ha New York, NY

OK, here's the issue. Have a F3 and a Speedlight SB 12. Want to upgrade the flash. Read a lot, thought about the SB16a or similar. Do not want to buy the very expensive As 17, but am not sure whether the AS 14 can be combined with any other non-nikon flasher. Can anyone advise pls.
