Nikon's F4 is an experience every enthusiast film shooter could aspire to. Your stable of F mount lenses, manual or auto focus are now all usable again. The F4 is built from a copper aluminium alloy, made to outlast the photographer and the shutter is rated for actuations well into the 100,000s. Shutter speeds from bulb setting to 1/8000th gives scope for any shot. Many pro photographers enjoy it's dial and switch based controls rather than the menu rich digitals of today.  This is the camera I choose when I need a guaranteed result and reliability. Being the 'S' version this allows a 6 AA battery pack or the option of downsizing to the MB-20 pack which uses 4x AA batteries. Fresh battery sets come with the camera for a New Zealand purchaser.
