You can over ride this by manually setting film speed. The electronically controlled vertical focal plane shutter goes from 1/2000 to 1 sec plus bulb, but to use that youвЂ™ll need to invest in the proprietary MC-12A cable as thereвЂ™s no standard cable point.ДЇilm speed is set by lifting disk around rewind knob and for the first time has a DX setting.

The shutter speed dial offers both fixed shutter speeds for manual modes (M) but also 3 automated modes with stepless shutter (see below). And below right & below the button (R) and switch needed for rewind To the side the audible warning on/of switch. The power on/off collar is to the top right. The single silicon diode is good for EV1-19 with a 50mm 1:1.4 lens. The camera has a classic 60:40 centre weighted TTL metering system. Do him a favour and donate a couple of quid/dollars/Euros for his free service. It is also one of a handful of cameras that take advantage of the AI-S revision in Nikon lens technology which improves aperture size detection in program modes (AF Nikons donвЂ™t need this but pretty much every Nikon lens made after the revision has it) Nikon N2000 with 50mm 1:1.8 AF-D Nikkor lens and slightly expired APX100 F-301 specsДЄs ever Mike Butkus has a copy of the manual online. But it still has a conventional Old Skool Nikon MF design bar its built in motor drive. It also starts the move to plastic bodies in ernest. More importantly it was the first Nikon SLR to DX Code and ditch the winder leaver. It was the first of the Nikon F-X01 series cameras. It weirdly clocks up a lot of cult status points. ThatвЂ™s NikonвЂ™s first successful AF SLR camera but is basically otherwise the same same camera as the F-301. ThatвЂ™s in part due to itвЂ™s better known sibling the F-501 (N2020). The 1986 F-301 is the Nikon SLR youвЂ™ve either never heard of or have overlooked. So this is where the F-301 comes in Historic relevance Even my old Sherman tank, the Nikkormat EL sells for about ВЈ40-60 for a good вЂun Nikon N2000 with 50mm 1:1.8 AF-D Nikkor lens and slightly expired APX100 Older models like the FE, FM and FA regularly go for excess of ВЈ100. The last Nikon MF ever made, the FM3A, commands prices approaching its 2001 launch price of $820USD.

Want a manual Focus (MF) Nikon SLR with full manual control and some extras ? Well if it ainвЂ™t a Nikkormat F series (kinda bargain but thatвЂ™s another story) it is gonna cost. Whilst itвЂ™s no F3, if youвЂ™re on a budget this might be good compromise. ThatвЂ™s because some folks do compare it to the legend that is the F3 But the Nikon F-301 (or in my case weirdly the Americanised N2000) is perhaps the most bizarre of the bunch. IвЂ™ve come across a few more basic cameras that pick up a mythic tag comparing them to a more esteemed classic.
