These are great bodies - take care of it! Though most accessories for
newer cameras will not fit it (flashes can be adapted with an AS-1 shoe
for use in "auto" and "manual" modes), *ALL* Nikon lenses (including AF
lenses) will fit the camera, but those without the "prong" on the
aperture ring require "stop-down" meter reading (before mounting the
lens, press the meter pin in the bottom center of the front of the
meter head up with a fingernail until you hear two "clicks", mount the
lens, and hold the DOF preview button [to the left of the lens, looking
from the front] in while metering). Viewing screens for the F and F2 fit
it, and are easy to find, and all lens-related accessories (tubes, tele-
converters, bellows, reverse rings, etc.) will also fit. Have fun with a sturdy, pro-level body with a fine viewfinder (sharp, distortion-free,
with 100% film coverage shown). You will learn more about photography
using this camera than you would with most others....
Hope This Helps
