Damn, that's one UGLY camera. Ugly.

Yeah, I love this quote out of the description:

"The item is used, and in good condition with a few minor normal blemishes."

I'd hate to see what they consider major blemishes! Personally, I wouldn't buy any Nikon F3 for $150 with those pictures and that lousy description. Especially when it's missing parts and has obviously been EXTREMELY heavily used by a professional photography service.

Thing is, the front doesn't look so bad.  But it makes me wonder whether the previous owner wears emery cloth shirts.

[cenelson]

Man, that's the new Leica finish. Ya'll are buggin.

Look at the list of seller's other items! What kind of story does that tell?

I bet it still works though. Find yourself a battery tray or a MD cover and you're off !  Euh... nope - can I have a wee bit more paint on mine pls?
BTW, yesterday I recvd my latest prize : a fine '77 black F2 body straight from Daytona for $125 + $27 S&H. The seller claimed it had just recvd a full service and it did : the $51 CLA receipt from Aug2006 came packed with the camera!  I consider that a deal. I'm gonna try it out on the yearly Scottisch week-end this coming sunday :-)
