FREE LUNCH!
Jun. 26th, 2006 07:22 pmWell, not really. It's actually a free camera.
I thought about selling my F-601QD, but eBay gets pennies for these things so I might as well give it away. It's been with me ever since the last year of high school, and has seen several continents and as many countries as I have. However, I'm not using it, and can use the space more than sentimental value.
Here's what you want to know:

Here's what you want to know:
- It's an autofocus Nikon film SLR.
- It was known as the N6006 in the US. The QD is a quartz date function, which I don't believe was ever available in the States. (It can print icky orange dates/times on the corner of the picture if you want it to -- or just use it as a watch.)
- It has a built-in flash.
- It takes auto and manual focus lenses, with the exception of the new G, VR and AF-S series. Way too much detail if you care. Bottom line--it takes most Nikon lenses made in the last two decades.
- It has spot, center weighted and matrix metering -- just like cameras two decades later!
- It can be fully manual, fully automatic, and everything in between.
- It's well used and looks it, but very solid. Metal frame, plastic body.
- Instruction manual can be had here.
- It was an excellent camera in 1990, and has aged well. It doesn't have the fastest AF, or the fanciest flash metering, but it still holds its own.
- I don't have any lenses to give away with it.
