I think you and ctjcad need to go back to basic biology 101. Obviously its a space shuttle piggy backing a jumbo.

I've just got it back from my mother's home! My trashed Nikon F3.

wow, what did you do to it?

***Oldhand*** · 04-01-2009, 11:21 AM

The camera body is bakelite, isn't it?
I didn't know bakelite could corrode!

F3 with booster?
slurrp.... slurrp.....

I bought it brand new in 1988 and it's my main camera at work from 1991 to 1997. But it has been retired shortly after I got a F5 from the newspaper company.
As for the motor drive. It's a MD4 with maximum driving speed of 5 frames per second. Though it's relatively slow when comparing to a modern DSLR. It was one of the fastest motor drive in the market at that time.
You know, I m gonna hang it on the wall as one of my home decoration. That would be a good one!

that's scary! backelite can only melt at high temperature & has good durable properties.

Chris, That F3 still works great. Just as good as it should be! The only bad thing that we can find is just a little cosmetic imperfection.

On the contrary, I think the life cycle of all DSLRs are shorter. Therefore, other than the functionality. It might still look as good as a new one after 20 years!

a day out the other week. Smog, fog or steam was making the view more *romantic* ahem.

my pair of "acid hands" caused that rust. it had been banged around over the years during assignments. that's why there are paint chips and brassing on it.
