Being a film addict I have several fine vintage and modern cameras. The Nikon N8008s (mine with the MF-20 dateback and the AF Nikkor 35-70mm Lens) is an excellent example of fine engineering. The controls are quick to hand, they are intuitive, and although there are a LOT of control possibilities to master they are quite easy to learn. I used the Nikon N8008s manual and the Nikon MF-20 Dateback Manual and was up and running in a couple of hours. The dateback was a major item for buying this camera as I have a box of old film that has no dates imprinted. This will be appreciated when sorting my films taken with the Nikon. :-) Now for the proof of the pudding; wait for the photos to come back. I have a high degree of confidence they will totally prove the value of this camera. :-)
A Nikon N8008S for $5.50 cannot be beat! Mounted a 55-200 Nikkor lens and it's just plain GREAT! AF is fast enough and Nikon quality is top shelf. Now for a N90S as I work my way up to an F4! Thank you digital world for providing the film world with cheap but world class cameras!

If somebody wants to go back into film this is the camera to get. It's not as trendy as a FM2 F3 or any of the 'classics' but technically superior to most film cameras, particularly the N8008s (F801s outside US) model which has great spot metering. Metering and focus assist work great with pre-AF Ai or AiS lenses.

Nikon is my favorite brand of camera and I have owned one since the 1980's. I have been shooting digital raw forever now and wanted to get back to film. I bought this 8008s to replace my original 8008s and it is in perfect condition, I swear it doesn't look a day over 1988.

I put camera thru its paces with slide and print film and exposures are spot on. Matrix and spot metering work great, every thing works as brand new. It's in beautiful shape !
