Nikon’s first ever autofocus SLR and winner of the 1986 Camera Of the Year award. Blends high technology with traditional exposure controls – an awesome combination. The Nikon F-501 was Nikon's first popular autofocus SLR for 35mm film, launched in 1986. Nikon cameras at the time were aimed at the pro / advanced consumer market and this camera demonstrates superb build quality.  It has a built-in motorised film drive (up to 2.5 shots per second), and with autofocus is excellent for sports and wildlife photography.  Unlike more recent cameras, most controls are via buttons and dials on the body - much better and faster to use than menus on tiny LCD screens. Also checkout the Nikon F-601 - the successor to the F-501 and a lovely camera. Features: Multiple exposure modes Electronically controlled shutter. Stepless shutter speeds from 1s to 1/2000 Electronic self-timer Meter can cope with very wide range of lighting conditions Film speeds from 12 to 3200 ISO.  Automatic film loading Single or Continuous shooting modes Takes standard alkaline batteries Compatible with a huge range of Nikon SLR lenses and accessories A landmark SLR from arguably the greatest camera maker of the era. This camera comes with a choice of the original Nikon 35-70mm, or 35-105mm zoom lenses, which are both great general-use lenses spanning wide angle (35mm) and portrait (70mm) or short telephoto (105mm) focal lengths.

The Nikon R8 (and larger R10) are highly sought-after cine cameras. With excellent build quality from the die-cast metal body to the superb lens, they are capable of delivering exceptional quality. See the gallery for a short test video taken with this camera. The R8 has an 8x zoom lens, with a very fast aperture of f1.4 giving excellent low light capabilities. The user manual is available for download here. The R8 has some built-in advanced features that enable great creativity when shooting, including: Full manual exposure control (in addition to automatic) Fade-in and fade-out Overlap / rewind - to fade from one scene to another. This was a groundbreaking achievement that set the R8/10 apart from other Super-8 cameras Variable shutter angle 54 / 24 / 18 frames per second This camera is a legend among Super-8 enthusiasts. The camera takes 6 x AA batteries in the sturdy grip, and 2 SR44 (with brass adaptors - supplied) for the meter. As an option we can offer the R8 with a conversion so that the meter is powered from the main batteries via a stable 2.7v voltage regulator. This eliminates the need for separate meter batteries, and also improves exposure accuracy since the regulator supplies the same voltage as the original mercury batteries for which the camera was designed. Please allow a few extra days for this to be completed if selected.
