I learned so much from this site and got so inspired that I went out and bought a used F3 HP and instantly fell in love with it even though I have an F-100 and the new FM 3A. I had it for two days and shot a roll of film when the nagging thought came to me that for a few hundred more bucks I could buy a new one! So yesterday I took it in, held my breath and made the trade writing checks from two accounts and putting the balance on my credit card. Now I have that priceless jewel in my hands with warranty, untouched by human hands, knowing I don't have to worry about how many miles it has on it or when it will need servicing and I feel I made the right decision. Also from this site I had the knowledge to purchase the AS-17 TTL Flash Unit Coupler so I can use my SB-28 with it. Now all I have to do is get out there and shoot, and shoot...Tony, an enthusiastic 76 yr old.3. From : Walt McKinney (Waltavion@AOL.com)

Anthony,
The SB-5 in manual mode would require the aperture setting be manually calculated using the guide number (105 for 100 ISO film). The shutter speed would of course be set at 1/80 sec. The SB-5 has a thyristor auto mode, which would be used with the calculator on the flash. It also has a motor drive (MD) mode, which allows up to 3.8 frames per second at 1/8 power. The guide number in the MD mode is 36 for 100 ISO film. That power level in the MD mode would limit you to events happening relatively close to the camera.

I have similar problem of Ricky Vasque. I recently bought a used F3HP w/ an MD-4, MF-14. Can someone who previously downloaded all of the relevant manual files kindly email them to me at above? Thank you very much! Dick Kwan5. From : Anthony (harding@earthlink.net)

Thanks, Walt. Based on your response, I have another question, though (a couple actually). You mention that I would have to use manual or auto settings to use the SB-5. Using these settings, will I still be able to assure the correct exposure using the flash (or do I have to use some other method for this)? If the flash doesn't allow TTL in combination with the F3HP, how does this specifically affect how one makes photos with this particular flash unit (i.e. how does this limit me)? I hope you'll pardon such basic questions. Anthony6. From : Ricky Vasquez (rickyvasquez@bigfoot.com)

Hello, everyone! I recently bought a used F3T (Chanpagne) w/ an MD-4, MF-14 and MK-1 so I visited Leo's Nikon F3 webpage, specifically the page: where I hoped to download all the F3, MD-4 and related equipment manuals and info sheets in PDF format as I previously did for my F2, only to find out about the issues regarding NikonUSA's objections to their inclusion on the website. Can someone who previously downloaded all of the relevant files kindly email them to me at ? Hope to hear from anyone who could help, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance regarding this matter! Thank you very much! Ricky Vasquez7. From : Walt McKinney (Waltavi0n@AOL.com)

Anthony, The SB-5 can be used with the F3T/HP, but only in a manual or auto mode. The SB-5 doesn't have TTL capability. It does have a rapid recycle time, but it's doubtful it could operate at 3 fps at anything but a very low power setting. I'm not aware of any speedlite that could operate at a relatively high power setting at anything approaching 3 fps. Cycle times and power are the usual trade-offs in an electronic flash unit. To get a rapid flash rate, you have to sacrifice power. Walt8. From : Anthony (reintsma@earthlink.net)

Re: SB-5 Speedlight. Is is compatible with the F3/T HP? If not, what is that is very similar? Is there a Nikon sidemount/handle grip speedlight model that is better than the SB-5 (again compatible with the F3HP - with or without adaptors)? I imagine that these are likely redundant questions, considering that the information is probably on one of the multitudes of pages in this incredible website, but I'd still like to hear your opinions regarding the best speedlight to use with my system (that includes MD-4 drive)including good and bad experiences with different speedlights. Thanks in advance! Catch a mellow, Anthony9. From : Walt McKinney (Waltavion@AOL.com)

Damon, I don't think the yellow case is a trunk. Judging from the size and proportions, it appears to me to be a lens case, perhaps for one of the mirror lenses or maybe one of the more exotic telephoto lenses. Since the photo is next to the section on lens and camera cases, this reinforces my belief. Walt10.

I'm trying to find some information on the yellow Trunk case listed by photo only on the F3 accessories page (yellowcase) jpeg file. If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction it would be welcomed. Is this case for the F3 system, what is the code listing number, how much did or does it sell for?
