Hi everybody, it's been a little while since I've been around.
I'm looking at getting a Nikon F3, someone local has one in near mint condition with the motor drive and a 50mm lens. Price seems reasonable considering the condition ($350), but when I check on eBay it seems prices on these have dropped like a rock. Bodies under $200, some under $150, with motordrive for under $250. Agreed many of those are in not-perfect condition. That is significantly lower than when I last recall checking, maybe 6-9 months ago. Is this a reflection of film becoming even more obsolete and digital more permanently mainstream, is it a reflection of people's 401k's or what? Or has a fatal flaw been discovered in the F3?
I'll likely sell an FM2n to fund the purchase, yell at me if you feel the need.
