Pros: Semi professional Nikon film body; Excellent ergonomics; Robustness and build; Features, including 1/8000 sec top shutter speed, spot metering and 5fps drive; Use of any lens of any age, with the F mount, at the time of camera's production. THE SLR for the advanced enthusiast to aim for at the time. I used mine for years until finally going straight to the FX digital D700, where most of the controls immediately came natural to me.

Cons: None other that it is almost redundant in these days of digital.

Opinion: Like comparing the current D750 to the D5, or earlier D700 to the D3, the F100 featured most of the advantages of the flagship pro F3, but in a slightly smaller/lighter and less expensive body. I still have my F100, not that I am considering using it again, but because IF I could sell it for more than just an insult, it would remain of more value - it still fully works (personally, emotionally) to me than it would be to someone else. Difficult to give a score or evaluate compared to what is available today, just that I remember it fondly, it is part of my photographic journey of learning and I would say that other users of the F100 would feel much the same.

Pros: Sturdy, beautiful and beautifully built. It is "THE" reflex.

Cons: Feeding with AAA batteries: one hour in the cold and the machine goes down.

Opinion: I bought it in 2000, a quarter of a century ago. But, when I want to shoot on film I still use it. It is "THE" reflex. The last great heir (together with its big sister F5 - which I own but which I use little: too heavy) of Nikon's F family. You put us on any lens in Nikon's boundless history: f, ai/ais, af, afd, g, afs etc etc... and the F100 works and shoots. The position and management of the controls on the body is the progenitor of all subsequent Nikon camera bodies, up to the current Z: the F100 is the genetic progenitor of all subsequent Nikons - and that's no small thing. After her I switched to digital (d90, d601, d750, z5ii) but she is always there ready and every now and then she still makes some rolls of film

Pros: It is the Reflex, beautiful, solid, reliable

Cons: Not received

Opinion: Among the (few) machines I have used it is the best, but not only because I have few comparisons, it is that I really enjoyed it! It accepts all nikkors from Ai up to af-s vr, solid body, heavy but agile, wide and bright viewfinder, falls well in the hand, a real pleasure to use it... and it is also a beautiful object. Le a give a full 10.

Pros: Solid machine body from real Pro AF really very fast (with both G optics and dated optics) Great viewfinder

Cons: Classic Nikon tyre/skin problem.

Opinion: I regularly use Big MPX but try to break away from the everyday frenzy using this fantastic F100. Going back to the old days when the shot had to be studied so as not to throw away film, it is unparalleled. Not even the enjoyment given to me by digital BMpx pleases me in the same way. A great leap back years and years (when I still had a beard without patches of white hair). A real tank will probably last longer than me! In my opinion, a body that everyone should have on their own set.

Pros: Solid and fits almost any Nikkor

Cons: Neutral

Opinion: Not possessing the F100 can not make judgments personali.Questo body and 'created as an alternative to the F 5 I own with real enjoyment 19 anni.Chi Sparla of analog machines has never used for what they can dare.Con Codest tools you see the capacity 'of the photographer and' forced to use meningipiu 'than is the case with digitale.Sapere that there' who is still film gives hope for a rethinking of who does not provide the most 'film worthy to be called tali.Saluti to all "pellicular".

Pros: All you have to own a SLR Pro. Construction Excellent, bright viewfinder and large even if you wear glasses. AF fast. Very reliable.

Cons: The leather upholstery which becomes sticky after years of disuse. For the rest nothing.

Opinion: Excellent professional SLR. It has everything you need to own a SLR Pro. Lightweight, reliable and accurate in focusing which also has lightning. Worthy of the Nikon brand. A real Queen with a capital R. rnUna clarification for chì writes comments on film cameras (it is absurd to publish pictures taken with film cameras because the image is engraved on the lenses of photographic film and not about the reflex so not having a sensor that captures images. It 's all about the lenses in this case. There is nothing to prove with the pictures published the photo will not affect the optical analog camera.

Pros: Excellent construction, shows the dot confirmation of focus even with the objectives set AI

Cons: Nothing to report

Opinion: At the current price is a bargain for those who still uses pellicola.Per the 'stickiness on the back I solved it by cleaning it with a cloth soaked in a product of Stanhome to clean the glass. Window cleaner for the spray.Provare believe .... rnCon objectives Ai old series works in manual and aperture-priority, and it shows in the viewfinder darts that indicate which way to turn the focus, and a cue ball which confirms the proper focus.

Pros: An excellent device, still very current for those shooting with film.

Cons: The leatherette cover material that becomes sticky after a few years of inactivity, with obvious problems and not just "feel" (NITAL recommended to replace the cover on the back, for a fee of course). It 'a no small feat, given the price range of this device, for those who bought it in 1998 when it came out.

Opinion: Satisfied on the whole, high-tech, lightweight, perfectly balanced, excellent design, autofocus as fast as an arrow "digital SLR cameras, except those of the upper class in about 2000 €, can not compete with it." The only flaw the outer "soft grip" that becomes a "magnet for dirt, sand, etc.." and can not be restored to its original state.

Pros: Perfect

Cons: maybe the back, I would have preferred more robust, but just to find a flaw

Opinion: What about: sturdy and weighs the right, falls well in hand, large viewfinder as a terrace, af fast and silenzioso.Compatibile all Nikkor lenses with F bayonet, then choice infinita.rnUsarla is a real pleasure, gives a sense of solidity to hold it, but not heavy, is used with a certain agilità.rnSe really want to find a flaw, the back I would have preferred metal or at least a little more robust, like that of F6.rnrnConsigliatissima
