It works at 14-20mm as a full frame lens, and is a whole lot lighter than the 14-24mm(which is a beast). Aside from it being double the cost, I intentionally skipped the 24-70mm f/2.8E VR since it's stuck at f/2.8 on film.Ĭlick to expand.For that matter, it won't on a lot of digitals either! I like VR on the 24-120, and even though it's not optically the best it's good enough for film. When I want to shoot film(and am not using an F2), this is a frequent walk-around set-up for me. With that said, there's also a small battery grip for the N80 that doesn't add much bulk but lets you use 4 AAs. They get inexpensive in bulk(one of the best deals I've gotten was something like $15 for 24 at a Batteries+, a price that surprised me given that they're not known for being inexpensive), which is worthwhile if you have a couple of uses for them. The standard batteries are CR123s, which are nice in that they usually last a long time, but can be pricey if you just pop into Walgreens or the grocery store and buy two. The biggest one is the film door catches, which have a nasty habit of breaking. I do tend to lean on the N80 as a great "less expensive" camera for this situation, although it's not without its weaknesses. The fact that it uses AAs standard is a nice benefit also, but not the big pile of AAs the F5 takes.
To me, it's very much a sweet spot of features, size, and build quality. I love the F100-I really do, and it's pretty much my default recommendation to someone wanting a film camera to work in the digital world(i.e. The motors in the handful of AF-S lenses with aperture rings are getting a bit old, tend to suffer from the 'squeal of death' syndrome, and some of them have reportedly blown the fuse in the FTZ adapter. Screwdriver AF lenses won't autofocus with lower end dSLRs, or the FTZ adapter for the Z system. Anyone wanting to maximise compatibility between digital and film systems should probably choose mostly AF-S G lenses. While the F6 has no better lens compatibility than other late film cameras, it is the only one that will work with iTTL/CLS flash. As above, no film camera is compatible with E or AF-P. The only post-F5 camera with less compatibility is the very low end F55/N55, which can't drive AF-S or VR. Anything before the F5 will be less compatible (none can control the aperture manually with G lenses, for a start). All work with AF-S, 'screwdriver' AF, G and VR.

Both of these only have a single command dial, so manual mode is a bit fiddly. To the F6, F5, F100 and F80/N80 you can add two low-end cameras, the F75/N75 and the F65/N65.
