I would like to buy a second hand Nikon film camera in order to be able to use my lenses. I have a Canon EOS650, but no good lenses and I don't want to start a new Canon lens park.
So what do you recommend for respectively just manual or a fully modern operation?

Hi,
What kind of lenses are we speaking? Do they have aperture rings?
To me, a real film Nikon comes in the flavour of the F3 and FE/FM family. Some research into the F2 might also be done. All require aperture rings. These are smaller than their AF cameras, use less sophisticated electronics. A good repairman should be able to fix them for many years to come.
If you have G-lenses you need to have an AF body, that you could at least use them in P and S modes.
Hope you find this useful
