TPF Noob!
I have a Nikon N80 body I bought used on ebay. It works great, and I gave under 150 bucks for it a year ago.
If you can trust yourself to not drop it on the ground or in the water, it has nearly every feature you'd ever want for pro photography.
Probably my pick for the best buy in nikon film, because you get nearly all of the features of the F100, and I love the ergonomics of the body. In my case, using it and my D50 are like one in the same.
The camera I lust after is the Nikon FM3a. Just to have a piece of Nikon film camera history in my arsenal. I have handled one and it was very nice. I like electronic shutters with the mechanical backup feature. Electric is more accurate, but it's nice to know it'll work without batteries.
For now I'll just keep using my N80 since I have my sights set on grossly overpriced rangefinder bodies from the German L word.. Not because I need them, but because I like collecting nice stuff.
Your F65 will take great photos just like anything more expensive in most cases. My N80 is my fallback camera when I want to just go have fun and know that I'm going to get the images nailed down right with no hassle.
